8 September 2025- The Northern Cape MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA) Bentley Vass will be handing over houses and title deeds to some of the beneficiaries of the Jacksonville 139 Housing Project in Jacksonville, in the Sol Plaatje Local Municipality (Frances Baard District) on Monday.
Vass said the Jacksonville 139 Housing Project is part of the 1 Billion Rand Housing Project launched in January 2024.
He further said in July 2025, some of the beneficiaries of this project also received houses as part of the department’s commitment to hand over houses as they are completed.
“This will help us to avoid vandalism and to ensure that the beneficiaries take ownership of their houses immediately, while work commences to finish the outstanding houses,” added Vass.
