Enkosi, Somlomo. [Thank you, Speaker.]
In line with the ANC government's goal of creating sustainable housing where our people will take ownership of their properties, the ANC welcomes the initiative of the City of Tshwane in their handing over of 1 505 title deeds to the residents of Soshanguve, north of Pretoria. This transferring of home ownership to more than 1 500 families took place during the weekend of 12 October 2013. This was in addition to the handling over of 2 296 title deeds to beneficiaries of RDP houses in Hammanskraal Proper, Hammanskraal West Proper, Hammanskraal West Ext 1, Stinkwater RDP, Stinkwater Ext 1 - 3 and Stinkwater Ext 4 - 8 on 5 October 2013.
The ANC believes that the handing over of title deeds as the means of transferring home ownership to the people who did not own properties before engenders a sense of pride in their homes, streets and areas and advances the entire community. The ANC remains committed to addressing the inherited housing backlogs, the current and growing needs and aspirations of all communities with regard to access to housing. Nduyabulela.
