Selling State Homes to Save Taxpayers | Johannesburg News
Description
Minister Dean Macpherson is launching a sweeping review of over 6,000 state-owned homes occupied by government officials, aiming to slash public spending by selling off properties no longer essential for official duties. The Director-General will assess who lives where, why they were granted housing, and whether these assets still serve a critical function — all while ensuring compliance with laws and fair rent practices. With many officials already receiving housing allowances, the move questions the need for government-owned housing and seeks to redirect freed-up funds toward vital public services and infrastructure, pushing for a leaner, more efficient state.
