Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of the Built Environment in Housing to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017 / The research report is based on the complex nature of land registration within a
township establishment process in South Africa. Post 1994 democratic government
have placed a great emphasis on land tenure security. Therefore it becomes crucial for
government departments to identify, acquire and expropriate land for the provision of
affordable integrated human settlements. The political drive for low income housing
developments results in community pressured projects, disregarding the opening of a
township register which enables individual title transfers. Several townships established
on municipal owned land are incomplete wherein the General Plan is approved but not registered at the deeds office, hampering deed of transfers to allocated beneficiaries.
Land exchanges, employer housing allowance, family inheritance and insurance
contracts necessitate land ownership declaration. The various land tenure security
approaches are explored and argued for formal recognition since they have been
proven to be working successfully in other parts of the world. / XL2018
