Stellenbosch Municipality

On Monday, 27 March 2023, as part of our Human Rights Month celebrations, Executive Mayor Gesie van Deventer, handed over 27 title deeds to residents in Kayamandi. This forms part of Mayor Van Deventer’s commitment and promise to give people ownership of their properties.

Ownership creates empowerment and opportunity. It’s a pathway to freedom that some of the beneficiaries have waited for their entire lives.

“It is truly an honour for me to give these residents the gift of owning their home. Ownership of your house creates a peace of mind that no money can buy. A title deed provides security and is a passport to economic participation! As a municipality, we will continue our efforts to transfer title deeds as quickly as possible. Empowerment starts with ownership and today I am overjoyed to be empowering these residents and their families,” said Mayor van Deventer.

The Mayor also thanked the Free Market Foundation South Africa for their unwavering support in expediting the process of transferring title deeds to our residents.
