The City’s Human Settlements Directorate is building on the title deed momentum from the Festive Deeds Challenge last year with another handover. The Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim, and officials within the Directorate handed over title deeds in Tafelsig today, 7 February 2024.
‘We succeeded in our mission to create almost 1 500 new homeowners in the last few months of 2023. I am so excited to continue along this journey of creating even more homeowners through handing over keys and deeds. We are shifting to the highest possible gear in 2024 and ensuring our ambitious targets are met.
‘It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate with the beneficiaries and their families in Tafelsig today. Access to tenure is life changing and brings dignity to residents and their loved ones for many generations to come. Thank you to our teams for making this possible.
‘The Directorate currently has more than 12 000 title deeds on its registry and additional resources have been put in place to find beneficiaries with better tracking and tracing. We’ve set aside some R21,6 million toward this goal. We are passionate about empowering beneficiaries and we encourage residents to spread the news about our goal of creating more homeowners,’ said Councillor Pophaim.
