The Mayor of Tsantsabane, Cllr Helena English, accompanied by ward councilors, handed over title deeds to beneficiaries from various wards. The ceremony marked a significant milestone in the community’s journey to homeownership.

In her speech, Mayor English emphasized the importance of having a title deed, stressing that it’s a vital document that secures ownership and opens doors to opportunities. She advised the beneficiaries to keep their title deeds safe, ensuring they’re protected for generations to come.

The Mayor highlighted that this is an ongoing program, with councilors and municipal officials committed to engaging with communities across different wards.
