Residents of the government’s flagship N2 Gateway housing project in Cape Town will meet on Tuesday to decide whether to embark on a rent boycott.
The government has received many complaints from residents about the high rents.
Initially, residents were told they would pay R165 for rent. After consultations with the Department of Housing, the rent changed to between R500 and R1050 a month…
Sisulu proposed that Thubelisha Homes liaise with people on the waiting list who cannot pay the rent of R1050 for flats, with the idea of provision ultimately being made for them (to live there).
Addressing Joe Slovo residents about the second and third phases of the project last week, Dyantyi said the changes to the rent were discussed with the residents during workshops and interviews before they moved in. - Cape Times

In 2006, Housing Minister Lindiwe Sisulu acknowledged that the N2 Gateway rents were beyond the reach of most people on the waiting list.
Sisulu proposed that Thubelisha Homes liaise with people on the waiting list who cannot pay the rent of R1050 for flats, with the idea of provision ultimately being made for them (to live there).
