The City of Cape Town has successfully completed a comprehensive maintenance and upgrade programme in the Macassar community residential units (CRUs). The initiative, which focused on addressing emergency and general repairs, including plumbing and electrical work, is part of the City’s broader commitment to improving the living conditions of residents in affordable housing. With an investment of over R1,2 billion, the City aims to enhance the safety, functionality and overall well-being of residents in its public-housing units across Cape Town. Councillor Carl Pophaim, Mayco member for human settlements, emphasised the importance of community involvement in preserving public housing. “We encourage residents to report maintenance needs and emergencies,” he said. “Together, we can combat vandalism and ensure a positive living environment for all.” Pophaim encouraged tenants to reach out to the City for their maintenance needs and emergencies, and asked that residents stand with the City in the fight against public-housing vandalism. “Anonymous tip-offs are welcome,” he said. “If you see something, say something and report it to 021 480 7700.”
