Mashaba to launch four low-cost housing sites in Johannesburg
Johannesburg will on Wednesday see four sod-turning ceremonies for low cost housing projects in and near the inner city, mayor Herman Mashaba's office said.
Mashaba will attend the launch of the sites at 88 Marshall Street in downtown Johannesburg, at South and Joe Slovo Streets in Yeoville, and a fourth in Vrededorp, his media director Andile Ndlovu told ANA.
The projects are the first of 84 planned low cost housing developments in central Johannesburg that will ultimately house some 6,500 people, according to the mayor.
"The inner-city revitalisation project is expected to yield approximately 6 500 units of affordable quality housing with rentals beginning from R900 per month.
"These properties represent part of a R22-billion investment in the inner-city which is expected to generate 11 000 direct construction sector jobs, at a time when the economy is struggling to generate employment for our residents."
Mashaba said he looked forward to launching more sites and turning the inner city into a construction site.
