A total of 321 units are currently under construction at Erf 8448 Gugulethu, with 29 units scheduled for handover by the end of May 2021, if all goes according to plan. Another 128 units are expected to be ready for handover during July 2021.
“The City is currently looking at infrastructure upgrades in the area ahead of the completion of the project. This includes upgrades to the bulk sewer line and the construction of a new sewer pump station, which are under way. The City is mindful of the acute need for housing opportunities in all areas of the metro. We are making every effort to address the concerns of communities and to provide opportunities within a planned and fair manner wherever possible,” said Councillor Booi.
