Residents in Ward 6 of the Nama-Khoi Municipality have received title deeds yesterday to their homes during a local outreach initiative in Rooiwinkel and Okiep.

The handover formed part of the “Walk with your Councillor, Talk to your Councillor” programme aimed at strengthening community engagement and service delivery.

Councillor Lana De Jongh says the moment was a support for Department of Housing in helping restore land and housing ownership to local residents.

De Jongh says the initiative is an important step toward promoting dignity and long-term stability for families in the area.
