Reform Area: Addressing spatial inequality2025 - 2026

These reforms aim to unlock South Africa’s under-utilised public land for affordable housing through more systematic release processes. The 2024 White Paper has driven early momentum and the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) have identified 31 properties with RFPs for private sector investment. Further implementation will include a national land audit as well as revising legislation for the release of public land for development.
