The City of Matlosana, through its Directorate of Planning and Human Settlements, has launched a door-to-door programme to distribute long-awaited title deeds to residents in Kanana. The initiative is aimed at strengthening housing rights and providing families with security of tenure.
Distribution in Kanana Extension 12
On 19 August, residents of Kanana Extension 12 were the first to benefit from this rollout. The Human Settlements Unit, supported by Cllr. Portia Mtshawula, MMC for Planning and Human Settlements, and Cllr. MA Mokgatla, Ward 26 Councillor, handed over title deeds directly to households.
The list of eligible beneficiaries included hundreds of houses in the extension, with residents encouraged to be at home to personally receive their documents. Those unable to collect on the day were assured they could still receive their deeds from the municipal Housing Office in Kanana.
Extension 7 and 11 Beneficiaries
On 20 August, the programme extended to Kanana Extensions 7 and 11 under the oversight of Cllr. IM Mokhele, Ward 27 Councillor. Similar to Extension 12, the distribution took place from 09:00 to 15:00, with officials visiting households identified in advance.
For Extension 7, a large number of homes were confirmed as eligible, while residents of Extension 11 also had the chance to secure their housing rights with deeds issued directly to them.
Commitment to Housing Security
The City emphasized that title deeds form an essential part of economic empowerment, enabling residents not only to gain legal ownership of their homes but also to access financial opportunities linked to property ownership.
Cllr. Mtshawula stressed that this programme reflects the municipality’s ongoing commitment to improving the lives of residents through secure housing and proper urban planning. She encouraged beneficiaries to safeguard their documents and use them responsibly to build stronger, more stable communities.
