Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has announced that the City has started fast-tracking social housing projects to provide urgent much-need housing opportunities to Mother City residents.
As part of this drive up to 6,500 social housing units are being built which would soon be made available in central Cape Town, the Voortrekker Road Corridor, and Pine Road and Dillion Lane in Woodstock.
Hill-Lewis says these different housing developments are in various stages of completion.

I’ve got progress to report: Today, we approved two parcels for release to build social housing. These two parcels will deliver over 700 units right near the city bowl. Our pledge was to speed up land release for more affordable housing. And there’s more where this came from! pic.twitter.com/GiThF3c1rM
