Title Deed applicants take heed
The municipality is encouraging all those residents who do not have title deeds to their homes, and are staying in the old governmental rental homes, to come forward and apply for their title deeds.
For years, residents living in the pre-rental homes of this country’s previous administration have waited for title deeds to their homes.
The wait, it seems, will be coming to an end.
Earlier this year, the MEC for Human Settlements, Ravi Pillay, promised to work with the Newcastle Municipality to fast-track title deeds still owed to many residents.
Thus the two entities are finalising the Enhanced Extended Discount Benefit Scheme (EEDS) programme, which will encourage property ownership and security of tenure.
The municipality is encouraging all those residents who do not have title deeds to their homes, and are staying in the old governmental rental homes, to come forward and apply for their title deeds.
The application extends to all those people staying in these homes, including those staying in the six-roomed, four-roomed, two-roomed, and one-room homes, and all others without title deeds.
Applicants are urged to take their Identity Documents, marital documents, and Proof of Residence when they make their applications at either the Department of Human Settlements (Nedbank Centre), or the Madadeni or oSizweni municipal offices.
