George Municipality is proud to announce that 10 more beneficiaries received their houses at the Metrogrounds Housing Project on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, reaffirming the Municipality’s commitment to addressing housing needs and restoring dignity to residents. With several handovers completed over the past weeks, the number of houses handed over at Metrogrounds now stands at 99.

Executive Mayor Alderman Jackie von Brandis congratulated the new homeowners, saying: “Each handover is not just about a house – it’s about a safe space where families can build a future together. We are grateful to see more long-awaited dreams finally realised.”

Joining the Mayor Von Brandis during the handover were the MMC for Human Settlements, Cllr Jean Safers, Ward Councillor for Ward 20 Rita Gregory, members of the Executive Mayoral Committee, councillors and officials in the Municipal Human Settlements Department.

The Metrogrounds Housing Project continues to bring hope to families, prioritising the elderly, persons with disabilities, farm workers, and long-term applicants from informal settlements and backyard dwellings, with more families set to benefit as construction phases advance.
