. Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has failed to deliver on a commitment to allocate R600-million towards rent relief for tenants and landlords facing “financial distress” due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When asked about the funds this week, Sisulu’s spokesperson denied that she had made the promise but rather that she was merely “detailing plans” when she mentioned the relief during her budget vote speech in July 2020. Now eight months later, with little to no support for tenants who lost incomes and landlords who solely relied on rent, civil society organisations have started a petition, calling on Minister Sisulu to explain who will qualify and how the R600-million will be allocated, among other things.
