Montrose Mega City Lies in Ruins | Johannesburg News
Description
Montrose Mega City, once hailed as a game-changing mixed-income housing project, is now a ghost town stripped bare by vandals and years of neglect — with just 400 units out of 14,000 ever partially built. After hitting a seven-year, R11 billion snag since June, the Gauteng government faces mounting pressure from the Democratic Alliance to explain why this flagship development remains a disaster zone while thousands of title deeds are handed out elsewhere. The human settlements department blames the contractor, saying a new developer and land must be found before any fresh timeline can emerge — even as they tout recent successes delivering over 7,000 homes.
