The seven phases run concurrently from 2020 to 2024.
The delay is due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown.
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development confirmed yet another delay in the handover of 108 housing units for the District Six claimants.
According to the department, the delay is due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown.
The department said in a statement on Wednesday: This department is a developer of phase 3 of District Six Redevelopment. In this phase, the department is building 108 housing units, which will be handed over to claimants once they are completed. There were 24 housing units built in phase 1 and 115 for phase 2. As the world is currently experiencing the effect of Covid-19, the global pandemic affected the construction of District Six. As a result, some delays were just inevitable.

So, we find ourselves in a moment where we need to reinterpret and reimagine the meaning of reconciliation for our time and the many challenges it brings. That is why this year’s Reconciliation Day Interfaith Walk in District Six is themed “Beyond Reconciliation”.
These walks, which have taken place since 2000, first in town, and the past few years in District Six, have always been grounded in an interfaith, intercultural commitment. This is the essence of the District Six experience. It opens the door to inviting outsiders to experience the District Six diaspora. Together, we amplify their voices as they express their aspirations for a return and restoration.
