🚧 A big step forward for affordable housing in the heart of Cape Town. Founders Garden is now set to become a vibrant mixed-use, mixed-income development - bringing more residents closer to where they work, study, and commute. This is about building inclusive communities…

Today, we've launched the BIGGEST public sector housing development in the Cape Town CBD! At over R2bn it will deliver over 2600 housing opportunities! #infrastructure #foryou

I am very grateful that we were able to hand over title deeds to 15 beneficiaries of the R58m housing project in Masakhane which delivered 295 housing units. To own a home gives you dignity and it helps build a better future! #Infrastructure #ForYou
