Better conditions for backyarders: Since 2014, the City has installed 2 460 water and sanitation points to backyard dwellers on City rental property, and plans to install around 2 000 service points to backyard dwellers over the next three years. Cape Town was the ﬁrst municipality in the country to provide services to those living as backyarders on Council-owned property. The backyarder programme started in 2014 and provides one-on-one water, refuse and electricity services to these residents. Backyarders who live on private property or on invaded land will not beneﬁt, as the Municipal Finance Management Act determines that public money may not be used for enhancing private properties. More than R850 million has been earmarked over three years for upgrades to informal settlements and backyarder services. Of this, R713 million has been budgeted for investment in backyarder service provision and the informal settlements upgrade programme.
