The Department of Human Settlements has set a target to register and hand over 80,000 title deeds between 2004 and 2029.

The North West is targeting the delivery of 6,718 title deeds between April 2025 and March 2026.
Last week, Minister Simelane participated in the handover of just over 400 title deeds in Mpumalanga province.
