Developers who have won the right to rejuvenate old buildings and build affordable housing in the city will need to hit the ground running.

There was an air of hope and excitement at the State Theatre in Johannesburg when developers who dared to inject R20 billion into the city gathered to be recognised for their role in a rejuvenation scheme that is set to mark the rebirth of the City of Gold.

Now the hard work begins, with each developer expected to solidify its promises by signing contracts with the city and establishing their individual implementation plans in the coming months. A mixed bag of financial investors have made commitments to support the scheme, such as the Social Housing Regulatory Authority and commercial property development financiers Tuhf, Absa, First National Bank and Investec.

“People are not like furniture – you can’t just move them,” says Makhunga. “When you move people, the city leads in that process; it’s not just the responsibility of the developer. Quite a number of stakeholders are involved in making sure that [we] comply with the laws of the country.”
