Who we are

THE SECRET OF BUSINESS IS TO KNOW SOMETHING THAT NOBODY ELSE KNOWS

About Us

We registered as a BBBEE company that does not distribute profits and
is dedicated to social housing. We specialize in social housing-based
rental accommodation for the low to middle income category. We are
committed to working with government and other stakeholders to
provide decent social housing for our people. We have amended our MOI
to more correctly reflect the company as a not-for-profit entity in
compliance with the Social Housing Act and regulations.

Buhlebezwe has emerged from an environment that South Africa is
experiencing a severe housing shortage. We realized that government
was unable to address this challenge alone. The government programs of
providing free RDP housing was and is still not sustainable. This problem
has compounded in the urban areas with the massive inward migration
of people coming to work and needing stable medium or even long term
housing but unfortunately cannot afford to own a property or to pay the
high rentals that apply in the normal rental market. We want to, together
with government and the private sector, provide sustainable social
housing near places of work and in a socially conducive environment.

Since 2015
