Housing Minister Thembi Simelane will drop over 200 title deeds on beneficiaries in Hammanskraal alongside Gauteng MEC Tasneem Motara and Tshwane MMC Aaron Maluleka at Rapelego Sports Ground. The paperwork proves legal ownership of subsidized houses that families have been living in for years, and it lets them finally access loans, make improvements, or pass property down to their kids.
South Africa is sitting on a backlog of over two million unissued deeds since 1994, and Gauteng has thousands of people stuck waiting because of missing documents and slow processing at deeds offices. The government wants to register 80,000 titles under the current Medium-Term Development Plan.
Hammanskraal has dealt with unfinished RDP houses and sketchy illegal land sales for over a decade, but recent handovers have brought some relief to residents who need security amid water crises and infrastructure failures.
