Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba has delivered 94 title deeds to the community of Finetown in Ennerdale.
This forms part of the 795 title deeds which will be issued over the course of the month of April.
Mashaba says the delivery of the title deeds forms part of the city’s multi-party government’s commitment to provide safe and affordable housing for residents.
He says the city is undertaking to provide dignity of a home through inner city development projects.
“It is estimated that some 30 000 accommodation units are required in the short term to address the needs of the most vulnerable households.”
Mashaba says the city has also conducted an audit of some 500 bad buildings, 84 of which are confirmed as hijacked while 24 of the 500 bad buildings belong to the City.
“All of these buildings represent opportunities for creating affordable housing. In response to this urgent need, Council has made 13 buildings available for the purpose of creating quality low-cost income housing towards inner city development.”
Mashaba says Re-vitalising the inner city for the benefit of residents has been a critical component of his administration.
