Although houses have been build in certain areas of Khayelitsha , there is a slow delivery and there is a lack of public involvement in housing programme to decide about the future of the community. In order for any development to be sustainable it must be driven by affected people with a sense of ownership being engendered to them. This holistic approach for housing development is in line up with the current government policy on the matter.enHousing - South AfricaKhayelitshaLow-income housing - South AfricaHousing policy - South AfricaThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
