Cape Town Hosts Housing Beneficiary Verification Drive

The Western Cape Department of Infrastructure (DOI) will be hosting a housing beneficiary verification drive in the City of Cape Town’s Subcouncil 14 area on Saturday 13 September from 8am to 5pm, and on Sunday 14 September from 9am to 3pm. This is a follow-up to a series of public meetings held by the DOI in August 2025 to report on progress on the Welmoed (Penhill) housing project. Once completed, Phase 1 of this project will deliver 3 296 housing opportunities at a cost of R2.1 billion.

The verification drive will enable residents of Subcouncil 14 already registered on the housing demand database to check their details, and make amendments if necessary, e.g. number of dependants, marital status, income, and disability status. Those attending verification events must bring all relevant documents with them, including proof of identity.

No new registrations will be possible at these verification events. New registrations are only possible at City of Cape Town housing offices.

Subcouncil 14 consists of seven wards that include the areas of Amandelsig, Kuils River, Zevenwacht, Oakdene, Sarepta, Blackheath, Blue Downs, Eerste River, Dennemere, Welmoed, Kalkfontein, Mfuleni and surrounds. The ward numbers are Ward 11, Ward 14, Ward 16, Ward 17, Ward 19, Ward 108, and Ward 114.

During the DOI public meetings in the Subcouncil 14 area in August, many communities expressed their frustration with the housing waiting list. It is for this reason that the DOI has organised a verification drive for residents already registered on the housing demand database in Subcouncil 14, to ensure a fair and transparent process.
