Limpopo housing demand database registration extended!

27 September 2009

As announced previously, the Department of Local Government and Housing has embarked on a campaign to register people in order to compile a new provincial housing demand database. Due to the overwhelming response by our people, the department has decided to extend the registration deadline from 30 September to Friday 9 October 2009.

We would like to encourage our people to come forward with their identity documents and register.

The department would also like to clarify a few issues:

* The demand database will be used for planning of housing developments and allocations in the province and it is a system that will radically turn-around housing delivery in the province ensuring that the planning for housing development is done according to customer demand, need and affordability. The demand database does not replace the waiting lists in the municipalities
* In addition to those requiring RDP houses, people who need other housing typologies like rental housing, low-cost housing and higher-cost housing should also come forward and register
* There is no limit! Everyone who needs a house must be captured on the demand database.
