The KOUGA Municipality donated 16 houses, built before the year 1994, to qualifying Sea Vista residents on Thursday, October 28 \u2013 forming part of 27 municipal-owned houses in the St Francis Bay area.<\/p>\n

All recipients are first time homeowners and have not benefited from any government housing scheme before.<\/p>\n

This follows after an in-depth audit of all municipal-owned properties across the region. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe municipality donated 16 municipal houses to deserving beneficiaries in the area \u2013 some of whom have been living in these houses for 20 to 30 years,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese houses are delivered at no cost to the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an extremely proud day for the municipality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hendricks said the event meant more than just the handover of houses. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs beneficiaries, you now not only have something to pass on to the next generation, but it is also aimed at restoring dignity and ensuring that people own property \u2013 creating property owners and not lessees of the government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a municipality, we are extremely proud that we could be part of this special day in your lives, and we want you to enjoy your homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Hendricks, the municipality will, furthermore, assist residents with maintenance work to their homes in the near future.<\/p>\n

One of the beneficiaries, Amelia Juries, who has lived in her Sea Vista home since 1987, said she was elated about the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am full of joy after I heard the good news from the municipality,\u201d said Juries. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say thank you for the opportunity to be given ownership of a house. I am very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
