The Western Cape Human Settlements Department said on Saturday it wants to implement housing programs "for the people, run by the people".
This forms part of its attempts to fast-track housing delivery in the province. Several KTC residents received the keys to their new homes on Saturday.
New homeowners in KTC said they are grateful to have a roof over their heads that would not leak.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held to symbolise the occasion.
Recipient Nothembile Vethani told Eyewitness News that she was over the moon.
“I’m very happy that I finally got my house. I’ve been waiting since 1986. At least I’ll be [protected] from the rain.
The Human Settlements’ Kelly Theunis said through their PHP programme they are focusing on access as well as sustainability.
The project is government’s way of assisting people who want to build their own homes.
Over 800 new houses are earmarked for areas like Gugulethu and Khayelitsha. To date, it delivered 70 new homes.
