On June 28, 2023, the City Human Settlements Directorate’s Title Deeds Roadshow arrived in Makhaza, Khayelitsha. The roadshow aims to facilitate the distribution of title deeds to beneficiaries of historic housing programs, including those from older RDP projects.

Progress and Challenges

After successfully helping hundreds of beneficiaries in areas such as Mandela Park and Kuyasa, the roadshow will continue to cover other parts of the metro in the coming months. Alderman James Vos, Acting Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, expressed his satisfaction with the progress. However, one of the major challenges faced by the roadshow has been locating beneficiaries from projects completed 10 or 20 years ago.
