Forty elderly residents received historical title deeds at a ceremony held at Athlone Stadium on 16 September 2019. This now gives full and unambiguous ownership to these residents, some of whom have waited for over 20 years to receive their title deeds. The 40 beneﬁciaries are from Wallacedene, Langa, Atlantis, Joe Slovo, Kleinvlei, Wesbank and Mfuleni. Empowering residents who were previously denied access to property ownership is one of the City’s priorities. Many families still live as tenants or without ownership rights in houses they have occupied for generations. Handing over title deeds is one way in which the City can rectify the injustices of the past. Meanwhile, the Mau Mau housing project in Nyanga is under way, and several beneﬁciaries moved into their homes as ﬁrst-time property owners. The ﬁrst residents to receive their keys to the state-subsidised Breaking New Ground (BNG) homes were elderly citizens, who have been on the housing database for many years. On completion in March next year, the R90 million BNG project will provide homes to 434 beneﬁciaries.
