Cape Town - The City of Cape Town has given a breakdown of the housing register, saying that it is strictly controlled against political and outside influence.
The City explained that it is based on first come, first served and takes age and special needs into consideration.“Outside parties do not have the right to interfere in the process or decide who gets a house and who does not as they will then likely look after their supporters only,” the City said.* Rental opportunities:
The system is highly regulated to ensure that there is fairness and a systematic approach as the need for affordable housing in South Africa is big. City’s Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi said: “It is important to understand this is a fair and transparent process and that a third party may not disrupt the process or make promises of opportunities.
