SECURITY OF TENURE MTSF Outcome MTSF Indicators National 2024 Targets Provincial Target Actual delivery 2023/24 Annual Target 400 Comments 45 535 outstanding pre-1994 title deeds registered 500 845 outstanding post- 1994 title deeds registered 346 842 outstanding post- 2014 title deeds registered 300 000 new title deeds registered No. of title deeds 1 162 Eradicate backlog and issuing of Title Deeds Several challenges were experienced by conveyancers: (1) The floating of Township Titles amongst conveyancers caused delays for other conveyancers. This is a continuous process in the conveyancing practise but the Department addresses the matter on such a basis when it occurs. During March 2023, the Department succeeded to lodge 1 town title deeds at the Deeds Office. Explanatory Note. Floating of town title deeds is when the Deeds Office issued the client's copy of the original title deed to a conveyancer that needs it to do deeds of transfers. Other conveyancers also wants to make use of the very same town title deed just not to find it with the conveyancer to whom the Deeds Office issued the town title to. In summary the original title deeds float amongst conveyancers. (2) Township registers were opened but proclamation did not follow. The Department will continuously engage with the conveyancers and Department of COGTA to address this matter. (3) Estates were not reported and finalized. This is also a factor that hampered the finalization of transfers. (4) Disputes amongst family members are being addressed on a continuous basis. 2 591 6 363 4509 1 169 1797 16 821 2 364 530 44

Jaggersfontein Disaster: Progress Human Settlements was initially tasked with overseeing the enrollment of new houses to be built through NHBRC and identifying parcels of land through the assistance of HDA, should there be a need to relocate the affected community members. The 6 parcels of land where previously identified, however due to the length of time it would have taken to develop new parcels of land, the rebuilding is being done in-situ where the disaster occurred with a few exceptions where infill sites were made available by the Municipality for the relocation of beneficiaries that indicated that they were too traumatized to remain on the same sites where the disaster occurred. The Municipality has identified 47 infill sites which are more than enough to cater for the few beneficiaries who would like to be relocated. 1. Progress on NHBRC enrollment a. Late Enrolment. The files for four late enrolment housing units were submitted by the contractor to NHBRC on 22 August 2023 after engagements and challenges to obtain required supporting documents from the contractor. The financial guarantee and late enrolment invoices will be issued to the home builder on 28 August 2023. The late enrolment will only be concluded once the contractor has paid for the late enrolment fees and submitted a financial guarantee to NHBRC. b. Normal Enrolments x 68 demolish and rebuild units. The contractor requested an extension on 27 June 2023 as they were struggling to obtain support documents from their engineer. An extension was granted by NHBRC, However, through site inspections it has been discovered that the contractor carried on with construction of new houses prior to the enrolment process being duly concluded. The contractor has been issued with a non- compliance notice and if the contractor violates the non-compliance disclaimer, and carries on with the construction work, then NHBRC will file an urgent court interdict application to stop construction until compliance is in place. 49
Jaggersfontein Disaster: Progress The non-compliance of NHBRC enrollment processes has a negative impact on beneficiaries. Under normal circumstances when enrollment is done prior building of houses, NHBRC inspect the building of houses per milestone until final completion of the houses, thereby providing quality assurance throughout the building process. In the case of late enrollment, NHBRC is unable to provide quality assurance and beneficiaries are robbed of that benefit. In instances where houses are not enrolled at all, the NHBRC warranty cover will not be in place and beneficiaries are left with the risk and financial burden of repairing their houses should there be defects at a later stage. 2. Progress on the rebuilding process: The contractor is working on 68 houses that needed to be rebuilt and 64 houses that require refurbishment which include removal and replacement of asbestos roofs. To date there are 3 houses completed, 1 house at wall plate level, 11 houses at foundation level, 22 houses have been demolished, 21 houses are being repaired, 57 asbestos roofs have been removed and 1 asbestos roof has been replaced. The contractor s progress is slow. The sub-contractors expressed challenges in accessing building materials in Jagersfontein which could be one of the contributing factors for the slow progress of work. 50
