In my capacity as the MMC for Human Settlements in the City of Tshwane, I wish to congratulate Housing Company Tshwane for the gold award they received at the recent Reside Awards held in Sandton this past week.
The entity received the award in the category for best social housing development of the year. The Townlands Development is heralded as South Africa’s largest social housing project with 1 200 units. The development has set a new size benchmark in community-centric living.
This accolade celebrates the steadfast commitment of the Human Settlements Department and Housing Company Tshwane to create not just housing, but thriving communities where residents’ aspirations are nurtured and realised. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the key stakeholders who contributed to bringing this vision to life. This project truly exemplifies what can be achieved through collaborative efforts and shared commitment to improving our residents’ lives.
I also wish to congratulate the board of Housing Company Tshwane for their contribution in the past financial year. We thank the outgoing chairperson of the board, Mr Temba Dlamini, for his contribution and wish him the best for the future. We also wish the new chairperson, Ms Portia Tau Sekate, the best as she will oversee the future of the entity going forward.
The City remains determined to provide our communities with safe and affordable housing opportunities.
