MEDIA ALERT: SLANGRIVIER RESIDENTS TO RECEIVE TITLE DEEDS FROM MINISTER TERTUIS SIMMERS

9 June 2020

Tomorrow, 10 June 2020, Minister of Human Settlements, Tertuis Simmers will hand over 26 title deeds to deserving recipients in the Southern Cape Town of Slangrivier.

This will be the second set of title deeds that will be handed over this week, after 16 were handed over in Delft, yesterday.

Minister Simmers said: “We are prioritising the elderly, as we want to ensure ownership of their properties. This is critical, as it gives our people a sense of security, dignity and pride in having full ownership of their properties. I’m particularly looking forward to handing over title deeds to the pensioners that are part of this group. As the Western Cape Government, we remain committed to improving the lives of our residents.”

There will be an opportunity for interviews and photographs.

Members of the media, kindly note the meeting point below, from which we’ll proceed to the houses of the beneficiaries, to individually handover their title deeds.

ALL MEDIA ARE INVITED TO ATTEND.
