2 October 2026 – The Northern Cape Provincial Government (NCPG) has handed over title deeds to beneficiaries in Paballelo, Upington, as part of its #TitleDeedsFridays campaign, which it says is aimed at addressing the province’s title deed backlog. The Northern Cape Premier, Dr Zamani Saul and Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, MEC Lebogang Motlhaping, handed over the documents at the Michael Bongela Community Hall in the Dawid Kruiper Local Municipality.
According to Saul, the campaign is intended to help verified beneficiaries move from being occupants of properties to registered owners with security of tenure. He further said the latest handover followed the distribution of keys to beneficiaries at the Dakotaweg and Jurgenskamp Housing Projects in Upington.
“#TitleDeedsFridays is a direct initiative aimed at eradicating the provincial title deed backlog. Ten conveyancing firms have been appointed to assist with processing and registering title deeds across the province. The move was intended to expedite this critical process and eliminate delays in conveyancing.
“The appointment of the conveyancing firms would help families receive their ownership documents “swiftly and efficiently. It also described the latest handover as evidence of its stated commitment to continued service delivery in the province,” added Saul.
He said the campaign forms part of its broader effort to provide beneficiaries with formal proof of property ownership and security of tenure.
