Concerns over housing allocations
Polokwane Observer
|November 13, 2025
The DA in Polokwane has raised concerns over what it calls a lack of transparency in the allocation of municipal housing units and has urged the Polokwane Municipality to urgently develop a clear policy to guide the process.
Municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala refutes claims over lack of transparency.
This follows a recent report submitted to council which showed that 17 wards were each allocated 11 housing units, totalling 187 units.
The DA said there is currently no information available on the exact locations of these units within the wards, creating uncertainty and suspicion around the process.
"The secrecy surrounding these allocations raises doubts about fairness, accountability and equitable access for all community members," the party stated.
