Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane has introduced the Prevention of Illegal Eviction (PIE) from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Amendment Bill, a legislative move specifically aimed at safeguarding South Africans who depend on rental income. Speaking in Pretoria following the bill's release for public comment on April 16, Simelane highlighted that the amendment is designed to validate and support small-scale landlords, particularly those operating in townships and informal settlements where leasing backyard rooms or informal dwellings is often a vital means of survival. Mondli Makhanya spoke to Paul Masemola Department of Human Settlement Chief Director: Legal Services.
