CITY OF CAPE TOWN Progress made on the Sir Lowry’s Pass Village affordable housing project

Agriculture

Agriculture is one of the mainstays of Matlosana, which proudly boasts a region rich with agricultural potential. The emphasis is focused on field crops, such as maize, wheat, sorghum, sunflowers, etc... (climatically suitable with a 70% probability of production success).

On Tuesday, 18 April 2023, the City of Cape Town handed over the first ten homes to qualifying beneficiaries of the R101 million Sir Lowry’s Pass Village affordable housing project.

The project will provide homes to 307 beneficiaries and their families and is expected to be completed in 2024, if all goes as planned.

Infrastructure Development

Aside from attracting investment, the N12 Treasure Route connects communities to the economic hub of Matlosana City. The improved road infrastructure changes the lives of the City’s citizens making it easier to access employment opportunities and other services.

When handing over the first homes of the project, Alderman James Vos, the City’s acting mayoral committee member for human settlements said, “The Sir Lowry’s Pass Village affordable housing project is an example of our commitment to providing affordable opportunities to beneficiaries in all areas of the metro, which are close to economic opportunities and public transport hubs.”

Shoppers can also be spoiled for choice between Matlosana Mall, City Mall, Flamwood Walk Shopping Mall, Tower Mall and other leading shopping centres in Matlosana.

Alderman Vos stated that progress on the flagship project was steady and that the City would hand over homes to other qualifying beneficiaries in the upcoming weeks, encouraging the communities, civic organisations and beneficiaries to continue collaborating with the City so that opportunities can be provided to beneficiaries as soon as possible.
