It is reported (Manto Tshabalala-Msimang 05 May 2008 - Briefing document released by Minister of Health May 5 2008 - Social Sector Cluster briefing document:
That positive results are emerging in the implementation of the comprehensive programme dealing with human settlement and social infrastructure. To date, financial institutions (Banks) indicate that R35 billion has been released for financing housing development and/or ownership.
A housing policy has been finalised and implemented across private and publicly driven housing developments. Housing projects that are designed as "mixed use" and "mixed income" housing developments will ensure cross subsidisation and achieve inclusionary housing objectives. Over 100 000 units are planned in projects such as Cosmo City, Olievenhoutbosch, Chief Albert Luthuli and Mogale (Gauteng), Bendor and Lephalale (Limpopo) and Klarienet (Mpumalanga).
At the same time, a voucher system for building materials in rural areas to support the self-build initiative is being investigated by the Department of Housing. (This one I think has promise - CH)
The Rental Housing Act has been amended to improve the regulation of the tenant-landlord relations (ag, more regulation - who needs it - CH).
