NINE families from Pudimoe location in Taung received their title deeds on Monday. Local government and human settlements department bestowed house owners with title deeds after 20 years.

North West MEC of local government and human settlements department, Fenny Gaolalwe said the houses belonged to North West Housing Corporation (NWHC).

“Through the NHWC housing discount benefit scheme, the owners had their outstanding debts on these houses (known as old stock) cancelled. We have spent over R16 000 on the transfer costs.

“Now homeowners can be at ease. They have title deeds as proof of ownership. They can now sleep better at night without a fear of being evicted. The North West Housing Corporation has properties in some parts of the North West, Northern Cape, Gauteng and Free State provinces,” Gaolaolwe said.
