Lindelani residents set to benefit from Alliance Housing Project

Residents in Lindelani informal settlement are expected to be the main beneficiaries of the Alliance Ext 6-13 mega-housing project in Springs. Last week, on July 18, during the commemoration of Mandela Day, Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza and the MMC for Human Settlement, Kgopelo Hollo, visited the project and handed over houses to beneficiaries. The project is expected to yield 1639 housing units. The City of Ekurhuleni said in a statement released on Friday that other beneficiaries residing outside of Lindelani will also be considered in line with the city and provincial housing allocation policies, such as those in emergency need of housing. 'Currently, 677 housing units have been built and allocated to their rightful owners,' the CoE said. To check the status of their application to the social housing programme, residents can log on to or visit the city's Human Settlements Department at their nearest CCC.
