as emergency services waited for forensic investigators and pathologists to arrive to process the scene. The bodies of the victims remained lying on the ground hours after the leak was reported around 8 p.m. Teams were searching the area looking for other casualties deep into the night. … It’s painful, emotionally draining and tragic,” Lesufi, who visited the scene, was quoted as saying in news reports. But police and Gauteng Province Premier Panyaza Lesufi later said the number of deaths had been confirmed as 16 after a recount of the bodies. This study gave rise to the Housing Entrepreneurs in South Africa study, the RDP Assets in South Africa study and the Affordable Land + Housing Data Centre.JOHANNESBURG – At least 16 people, including three children, were killed by a leak of a toxic nitrate gas being used by illegal miners to process gold in a settlement of closely packed metal shacks, South African police and local officials said late Wednesday.Įmergency services initially announced that as many as 24 people might be dead in the Angelo settlement in Boksburg, a city on the eastern outskirts of Johannesburg. Key questions asked by the study included: What role does the resale market play? What are the key challenges that undermine performance? How do we overcome these so that, over time, township properties become part of the wider residential property market? The purpose of this study, completed in 2004, was to understand the dynamics of township property markets in South Africa, and to develop policy and strategic recommendations which would result in the better workings of housing markets in township areas. With the transition to democracy, the housing markets in these areas have opened and households can now trade their housing. For generations, households living in townships areas were tenants with limited tenure security. The functioning of resale markets is a critical piece in the overall puzzle for resolving South Africa’s housing issues. And yet, in the face of huge housing backlogs and sprawling informal settlements, it has not received sufficient attention from policymakers.
