MEC Makume said a title deed is proof of ownership of an asset that must be handed over to future generations.
“I discourage people who sell their houses after receiving their title deeds.”
As enshrined within Chapter 2 of our Constitution which states that everyone has, among others; the rights to adequate housing (Housing: 26, Chapter 2: Bill of Rights).”
The handing over of title deeds and houses accentuates the departments’ commitment to ensuring access to adequate houses and security of tenure.”
