MUNICIPAL MANAGER 

Bitou Local Municipality

More than a hundred Bitou residents received their long-awaited title deeds at the Simunye Community Hall this week. 

This Title Deed Outreach is part of Bitou’s accelerated plan to ensure that residents get their title deeds timeously.

By 2026 the Bitou hopes to hand over 5000 title deeds to property owners.

Bitou Municipality Law Enforcement officials embarked on a campaign to demolish informal structures that have invaded municipal land in Qolweni this week. 

The structures were not only unsafe for inhabitation, but they were also fast becoming crime hotspots in the area.
