BRANDWAG SOCIAL HOUSING (BSH) PROJECT


In August, 12 2024 Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) issued a notice to all BSH tenants (occupiers), notably the notice sought to regularise tenants occupancy before and/or by September, 11 2024 in terms of Reg 9(2) of the Social housing regulations, and failure to do so, tenants were to voluntarily evacuate (vacate) the BSH unit on and/or by September, 25 2024. 


Thus, can be interpreted that SHRA was to issue, an inspection notice and solicit police assistance as contemplated in Reg 30 of the social housing regulations, at least after the tenancy audit notice expires on September, 25 2024. 


However, Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality City Manager Sello More and Executive Mayor Gregory Nthatisi undermined SHRA tenancy audit by issuing another Regularisation Notice on its official Facebook page, that sought to do Door- to -Door tenancy audit (verification), starting on September, 09 2024, two (2) days before the expiry of SHRA tenancy audit notice and sixteen (16) days of grace period for evacuations of non-complying tenants. Insofar as issuing tenancy audit notice, the City acted ultra vires (Outside Authority) as such powers are statutorily bestowed to SHRA as the Regulator. 


Furthermore note, that the SHRA continues to act as Freshco administrator as per the order that was issued in December, 17 2019 and executed in October, 26 2020, meaning the lease agreement signed to between FRESHCO and the City remains operative to date as such the City's rights are ceded to FRESHCO at least until 2033.


In the correspondence to BSH tenants attorneys, SHRA seems to be ignoring the fact that incidents of September, 09 2024 went against its notice of August, 12 2024 and disregarded the said timelines nor does it associate itself with the City's conduct of continuously harassing BSH tenants, from September, 09 2024. Even if wrongly and/or falsely understood it does not indicate the rescindment of August, 12 2024 and/or Joinder of the City's notice in its reply. 


The question is why City Manager and EM are adamant on harassing out people non-stop outside the legislated process and have forsaken the City's duties in terms of section 7(2) which places an obligation on the municipality to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the rights in the Bill of Rights.
