The City of Tshwane Human Settlement Department has embarked on a door-to-door campaign focusing on issuing title deeds to beneficiaries. The campaign was launched on yesterday and will run until 20 September 2021.
On Monday the City visited Soshanguve Ext 12 and 13 where title deeds were issued to beneficiaries, one of which was a child-headed household.
The City’s MMC for Human Settlement, Mpho Mehlape-Zimu said the total number title deeds available for Soshanguve ward 37 is 466.
“Our visits are coupled with consumer education wherein beneficiaries are educated on the importance of looking after properties and having a properly drafted will,” said Mehlape-Zimu.
Mehlape-Zimu said due to COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings, the rest of the title deeds will continue to be issued administratively during office hours.
“I call upon residents who are still waiting for their title deeds to go to their nearest municipal office to verify their availability,” she said.
The MMC said the City still sits with additional 10 000 title deeds which have not been claimed. “These have been outstanding for several years and we need to deliver them to their owners, it is important that residents update their contact details with the municipality,” explained Mehlape-Zimu.
The City said it remains committed to delivering quality and dignified low cost government housing to qualifying residents.
