Residents of Region F have urged the City to address the housing backlogs, illegal backyard housing structures, abandoned and derelict buildings and highjacked building in the inner city.
This emerged during the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) consultation meeting for Region F at Joubert Park on Wednesday, 21 April 2021.
“We are concerned that there are people who are on the 96/97 Housing Waiting List and have not been allocated houses. What is the city’s plan in fast-tracking the building of RDP houses? We have been renting for years in backyards and derelict flats with major maintenance and structural issues,” said Yvonne Mohlauli from Ward 123.
