Forty-two homes were handed over to beneficiaries of the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project.
The City's mayoral committee member for human settlements, Carl Pophaim, and officials in the Human Settlements Directorate shared the special day with beneficiaries and their families.
"The R140 million housing project will ultimately deliver 273 Breaking New Ground (BNG) state-subsidised homes to beneficiaries," said Mr Pophaim, adding that completion can be expected in June next year.

“We are proud to celebrate more handovers with the new beneficiaries of the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project,” he said.
From breaking ground here in 2024 to handing over keys to beneficiaries a few months later. Every step has been a special one with the community, our Human Settlements teams and partners, and it is a joy to see families move into their new homes, he said.
The Bonteheuwel Infill project is just one of several housing projects currently underway across the metro - from Gugulethu, to Macassar and many other areas.
"The City is accelerating delivery for many families patiently waiting for their housing opportunity,” said Mr Pophaim.
Beneficiaries of City housing projects are selected in accordance with the City's housing allocation policy and housing needs register to ensure housing opportunities are made available fairly and transparently, which prevents queue jumping," he said.
