More than a decade after a housing project was first announced for residents of the Princess Informal Settlement in Roodepoort, many families are still living in difficult and unsafe conditions while waiting for the promised development to be completed.

The project was launched in 2015 by the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements together with the City of Johannesburg. It aimed to provide formal housing for residents living in the Princess Informal Settlement and relocate families into newly built homes closer to their existing community. The development was structured in six phases, with the intention of gradually moving residents out of informal living conditions. Instagram · Twitter
