In recent times the Western Cape has witnessed a renewed focus on and revived political enthusiasm for affordable accommodation development, sparking a wave of positive movement in the affordable rental housing market, particularly in inner-city, in-city and burgeoning urban nodes.

TUHF Group’s founding CEO, Paul Jackson, has reached retirement age and will be stepping down from his position as TUHF’s CEO at the end of December 2025.

At 32 Becker Street in Yeoville, there is a double story residential apartment building that is hard to miss, given its current green façade.

Eastern Cape’s major metros are seeing an influx of people from surrounding rural areas, driven by access to tertiary education at the province’s major universities and the search for meaningful employment opportunities. Though the urbanisation trend is not unique to the Eastern Cape, the province’s metros are particularly understocked to meet the high demand for affordable housing, according to Letlatsa Lekhelebana, Senior Portfolio Manager and Funeka Ndalasi, Portfolio Manager at TUHF in the Eastern Cape.

The rapidly increasing urban sprawl experienced in developing countries like South Africa can have a massive negative impact on not only the environment, but also the people living there.

Situated in the heart of Cape Town City Centre just off Long Street, Uxolo on 4 Vredenberg Lane provides a unique combination of long-term rental and short-term lease in modern, design-led micro apartments.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the property market across South Africa, there are still significant investment opportunities to be had, especially in the residential sector.

Despite less than 300km separating the Eastern Cape cities of East London from Gqeberha (formally Port Elizabeth), the contrast in the residential rental property market could not be more significant.

What was once three apartment blocks managed through a family-owned trust in downtown Bloemfontein, is planned to become innovative shared accommodation catering for up to 300 residents to help meet the increasing demand for cost-effective, secure, and multi-purpose living in one of South Africa’s rapidly growing student towns.

Over the past three years, the KwaZulu Natal (KZN) property market has enjoyed unparalleled growth, outperforming other provinces as an investment destination. And yet, it is still considered one of the best kept secrets in the country!
