Ndou said: “As the ANC-led government we have made the handing over of title deeds and land a priority.

“Giving people the ownership of their homes they have lived in for many years, is important to eradicate the legacy left by the apartheid system. Please take care of this houses, you should always keep it in your mind that in the whole world it’s only the ANC government that is able to build and give citizens houses for free.

“This is your government and we will continue building houses and giving you free services, especially the disadvantaged families.”

MEC Ndou advised the attendants not to rent or sell those houses as they belong to them and their children.
