She presently stays with her family in Zone 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/city-vision\/shack-fire-crisis-taiwan-residents-demand-housing-after-third-blaze-in-a-month-20250206\" target=\"_blank\">ALSO READ |&nbsp;Shack fire crisis: Taiwan residents Demand Housing After Third Blaze in a Month<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI lost everything in the fire. I was sleeping when the fire started. When I woke up the flames were starting to come through the windows. I grabbed my two children and ran out,\u201d said Williams, adding that all she wants is to return to her house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 51 councillor Lwazi Pakade said the City would fix the entire hostels. He said they will fix the roofs, rebuild some cracked walls, and plaster them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter they are completed, they will put in a new ceiling, windows, doors and paint the walls. It will take about two weeks to complete everything,\u201d explained Pakade. He urged the fire victims to be patient and work with the contract workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <span>City Vision<\/span> visited these affected areas (Special Quaters in Langa, SST informal settlements in Town Two and Taiwan in Site C) some of the victims complained about the lack of service delivery in their communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said they have stayed in the shacks for over two decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>City Vision<\/span> asked the City about its plans regarding the areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City\u2019s mayco member for human settlements Carl Pophaim said the City looks at the personal circumstances of residents to ascertain if they qualify for aid in terms of housing support or other programmes such as informal settlement upgrades where feasible and matched with available opportunities. He said not all residents in areas affected would have the same housing qualification circumstances and many settlements have profound barriers to upgrading, such as densely populated, private land or situated on bulk services infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City is providing housing opportunities (BNG opportunities, Social housing and public housing opportunities) to qualified beneficiaries across the city. Beneficiaries of all City housing projects are allocated in accordance with our Allocation Policy and the date of registration on our Housing Needs Register. This is to ensure that housing opportunities are provided to qualifying applicants in a fair, transparent and equal manner, and to prevent queue jumping,\u201d he stated, adding that the City\u2019s human settlements budget is about R7,6 billion for the next years and it focuses on public housing upgrades, affordable housing in well-located areas, subsidy housing, and a drive to transfer City rental units to tenants and the upgrading of informal settlements (on City owned land) across the metro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pophaim said the demand for human settlement opportunities are acute and the City acts within what is feasible and within land and financial resources available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said approximately 340 000 applicants are reflected as \u2018awaiting a housing opportunity\u2019 on the City\u2019s Housing Needs Register. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt must also be noted the register is not static, as opportunities are awarded to beneficiaries, they are removed from the database, and new beneficiaries are added. Due to demand, and to be fair, those registered for the longest are assisted first. This is not a unique aspect to Cape Town,\u201d he emphasised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pophaim stated that the waiting period depends on when the person applied, where, and what opportunities are available like land, financial resources and other factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City is dependent on national government grants, and housing budgets have been reducing. However, the City cannot be the sole provider of opportunities. We need greater subsidies from national and greater public private partnerships in light of the continued high rate of urbanisation,\u201d he said.
