The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is considering expropriating land without compensation to facilitate title deed transfers for residents living in RDP houses on privately owned property, after failing to locate the landowner.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality wants to expropriate land without compensation to enable the transfer of title deeds to residents whose RDP houses were built on privately owned property.
The move comes after the municipality failed to trace the owner of the land in Bethelsdorp. They believe he has emigrated.
The 300 homes were built in 2007.
Political head for Human Settlements, Thembinkosi Mafana, said the expropriation was the last resort.
