Episode Synopsis

The City of Tshwane is stepping up its response to the rise of illegal townships with a high-stake round of meetings kicking off 23 October. The Mayoral Sub-committee on Illegal Townships, led by MMC Aaron Maluleka, will confront legal landowners tied to 17 unlawful developments mushrooming across council, state-, and privately-owned land. No environmental approvals. No bulk services. No formal township applications. Just sprawling, unchecked expansion. Public hearings will follow from 1 November, giving affected residents a chance to speak up as the city charts a course to bring rogue developments back into the legal fold. Nzinga Qunta unpacks the stakes with MMC for Human Settlement in the City of Tshwane Aaron Maluleka. Kayafm
