Think-tank hands over title deeds to residents of Western Cape town

Think tank the Free Market Foundation’s (FMF’s) Khaya Lam land reform project last month handed over the latest batch of title deeds to residents in the town of Grabouw, in the Western Cape, thereby taking the project’s total title deed handover tally to 1 360. Khaya Lam project manager Perry Feldman says the project aims to convert municipal properties in townships into private properties by granting title deeds to residents of these formal settlements. Title deeds can only be registered where general town plans exist, which therefore excludes informal settlements.
