He says his team hit the ground running and has made significant progress in tackling the housing crisis.

“Today I am pleased to announce for the first time in the City of Johannesburg, the housing list has been completed. I am in the possession of the housing list which has the details of 79,000 people we’ve registered for housing since 1996.”

Mashaba says he’ll publish the housing list on the city’s website.
