Abstract
This study was undertaken to determine whether Gauteng municipalities,
constitutionally obliged to provide low-cost housing to those who qualify for it,
possessed the capacity to do so. The only Gauteng municipality not included in this
research were Metsweding District Municipality. Pertinent literature was consulted and
reviewed. In this qualitative research, the data were obtained from interviews and
answers to questionnaires. Analysis showed that all the municipalities studied lacked
the capacity to deliver on their mandate. Necessary capacity was found to be lacking
in several areas. The report concludes with suggestions for rectifying this problem and
thus, enabling municipalities to meet their housing delivery obligations.
