SOUTH AFRICA'S HOUSING CRISIS
Despite the South African government’s efforts to deliver 300,000 houses over the past five years, the country still faces a significant housing backlog, with over 2.4 million households registered on the National Housing Needs Register in 2023. - Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa 2023 Yearbook
South Africa’s severe housing crisis can be partly attributed to rapid urbanization. In 2022, more than 65% of the country’s population resided in urban areas. The population of Johannesburg, South Africa’s most densely populated city, has surged by nearly 30% since 2011. Amid a shortfall of 3.7 million housing units, low-income households – which constitute the majority of the populace – struggle to find decent, safe shelter in the country’s urban centers.- Koketso Moeti, Project Syndicate, Oct 2023
