Tshwane starts construction on ‘missing middle’ housing project
Updated | By Makhosazane Twala
The City of Tshwane has set aside R131 million for a housing project targeting residents in the so-called “missing middle”.

Work on the city’s Chantelle Social Housing Project began on Monday morning.
Mayor Randall Williams says the project is aimed at residents who do not qualify for government-sponsored housing, but also don’t earn enough to qualify for home loans.
“The City of Tshwane is facing increasing demand for housing that is close and within the 30-kilometer radius of economic nodes and opportunities,” Williams explains.
“In addressing this, the most viable approach adopted by the department is offering a combination of services to existing settlements while also investing in new development and social housing projects to accommodate a large percentage of the growing housing demand.”
