How many ‘housing opportunities’ has the South African government provided since 1994?
Since 1994, the South African government has provided about 5 million "housing opportunities”. This includes both brick and mortar houses and serviced plots, which are plots of land with access to piped water and electricity. This effort has been part of the government's initiative to address the country’s housing needs since the end of apartheid. However, there is still a significant demand for housing, as evidenced by the number of households on the National Housing Needs Register.
