Rosho reiterated the government’s pledge to intensify the provision of sustainable human settlements by prioritizing the most vulnerable members of society. A total of thirteen title deeds were handed over during the feedback session, with the remaining twenty-four to be issued through the Moses Kotane Local Municipality.

MEC Rosho urged beneficiaries to cherish their new homes, emphasizing that they should not sell or rent them out as they serve as legacies for future generations.
