Final day for stand sales draws large crowd at the municipality
Potential stand owners have gathered at the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality to purchase the last remaining stands out of the 712 that were available
Today (Tuesday) is the final day of stand sales.
First-time buyers earning more than R600 000 per annum as well as current property owners are bidding for their share of the stands.
The process officially began last Thursday, with councillors and municipal workers buying stands.

The Middelburg Observer visited the site, where hundreds of residents had parked their vehicles on the open field near the Prayer Oven, forming long queues that stretched to the underground parking at the municipality.
The municipality changed the location of the stand sales, originally set to take place at the Sydney Choma Banquet Hall, due to the Nkangala District Municipality hosting The State of the District event there.
