Decent housing in Johannesburg's City Centre

The AFD loan will fund social housing units as well as water and sanitation equipment. These housing units are available for people in the lower income bracket - less than R 4,500 a month – which is equivalent of 85% of the South African population.Currently, only three housing options are available to these groups: individual units in within the RDP programmes, which are often located in the outskirts of the city, involving high transportation costs, informal housing in townships located in the outskirts of the city, hijacked buildings, buildings occupied illegally by gang leaders and rented at prohibitive rates, in dire sanitary and safety conditions.
