Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Gauteng Human Settlements Department says it will service all the land that it will give away.

There have been a number of land grabs in Gauteng.

In Johannesburg a number of areas, groups of people tried to invade vacant pieces of land said to belong to private owners and erected structures.

The most recent attempt to illegally invade land was in Protea Glen.

The department has identified some pieces of land that it is planning to give away.

Speaking on Sunrise Spokesperson Keith Khoza says,” They will have water, electricity and sanitation linked to that piece of land. The only thing that people then do is to build the top structure. Where they can’t, they would have to wait for us to come back to build for them.”
