Gauteng govt to inject additional R138m to complete construction of Sebokeng DLTC
To date, more than R80 million has been spent on the project, yet the facility has remained non-operational a decade since construction began.
Despite having a contracted security company in place, the centre has been vandalised.
The first thing that catches the eye when glancing at the Sebokeng DLTC is the overgrown grass surrounding the vandalised double-storey building.
Inside, piles of rubble have remained untouched for years, and the air is thick with the smell of dust.
Although the initial projected cost was R63 million, more than R80 million has already been spent on the construction of the facility.
Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela said more money would still be needed to complete the construction.
"For the financial year 2025/2026, the budget allocation is R54.5 million and R84 million for the financial year 2026/2027."
The Development Bank of Southern Africa has now been appointed as the implementing agent.

Rural South Africans file one-third of financial complaints, says Ombud
The National Financial Ombud has revealed that a significant number of financial complaints come from rural and small-town areas across South Africa. Image: Supplied The National Financial Ombud has revealed that a significant number of financial complaints come from rural and small-town areas across South Africa. IOL previously reported that the financial watchdog, established a year ago, has recovered approximately R328.5 million for consumers who lodged complaints against financial institutions across the country. Furthermore, the NFO revealed that between March 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, it handled 35,855 complaints. The NFO is an independent body that helps consumers resolve disputes with banks, insurers, and credit providers. It acts as a watchdog for fair treatment and helps people get their money back when things go wrong. Reana Steyn, the Head Ombud and CEO, emphasised that many complaints originate from rural and small-town areas. She also highlighted the importance of making financial assistance easily accessible, especially for vulnerable populations. 'It is significant that small towns and rural/farm areas accounted for 32,10% of all complaints,' said Steyn. Haroon Laher, Chairperson of the NFO, urged financial service providers to recognise the growing gap between different types of consumers. 'The lessons learnt from the root causes of complaints can avoid repetitive grievances. The NPO will work towards ensuring inclusivity for financial services and products and, thereby, help to bridge the gap between the urban and rural, the sophisticated and vulnerable and the disadvantaged,' Laher said.. Steyn noted that complaints vary by province. Gauteng had the most at 42.18%, followed by the Western Cape (19.14%), KwaZulu-Natal (14.07%) and the Eastern Cape (7.6%). Smaller provinces like Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, and the Free State had fewer complaints. The Northern Cape made up just 2.09%. 'This geographic diversity highlights the work that we still need to do to ensure that every consumer, regardless of location, has equal access to justice,' Steyn said. The data also indicated that women filed more complaints than men, with females making up 55.55% of complaints and males 44.34%. Non-binary individuals represented 0.03%, and 0.09% preferred not to disclose their gender. By race, 53.53% of complaints came from Black consumers, followed by Whites at 26.77%, Coloureds at 10.41%, and Asians at 9.29%. "Highlighting the financial services woes of those who are vulnerable, it was reported that those who earned between R0 – R80 000 per annum were responsible for 49,63% of complaints. Complaints totalling 201 came from those between 65 and 75 years and 66 complaints were lodged by those between 75 and 85 years."

Landlords beware: 26 per cent of rental applicants in South Africa classified as high risk in Q1 2025
Interest rates, supply and demand, popular locations, and property types drive South Africa's property market. Image: Henk Kruger/ANA/African News Agency More than a quarter of South African rental applicants were classed as high-risk in the first quarter of this year. A detailed risk analysis in the latest PayProp Rental Index highlighted that this is a significant challenge for landlords and rental agents. Based on data from the Tenant Assessment Report, PayProp's market-leading tenant screening tool, 26% of prospective tenants fell into the scoring system's highest risk bracket, up from 25% a year ago. 'Landlords are seeing improved returns from healthy rental price growth in 2025, but it's important not to get complacent,' says André van Rooyen, head of sales at PayProp. 'Tenant affordability is lower due to the cost of living in many provinces, and with one in four applicants potentially presenting a payment risk, thorough vetting is non-negotiable,' van Rooyen said. Traditional credit checks were said to offer only part of the picture when it comes to assessing tenant payment reliability, as they score the applicant based on their debt repayment history but often do not take rental payments into account. In contrast, PayProp combines credit scoring with rental payment histories captured from the platform to reveal where tenants fall on the risk spectrum. Analysis by PayProp ahead of a recent training webinar found that it was 94% better at predicting bad tenant behaviour than a traditional credit score when applied to a sample of real tenant data. In the first quarter of this year, 39.6% of lease applicants were rated minimum-risk, 20.0% were low-risk, 14.5% were medium-risk, and 26.0% were high-risk. This distribution across the risk spectrum suggests that rental applicants are becoming more concentrated at both ends of the risk scale lately, making careful tenant selection more important than ever. Income was said to be the strongest determinant of tenant risk. Among applicants earning R80 000 or more per month, 60.6% were classed as presenting minimum risk and just 12.2% as being high-risk. In the lowest income bracket (R10 000 - R20 000), only 23% qualified as minimum risk, while 37% were high-risk. 'Affordability is one of the first things any agent will check, and this helps demonstrate why,' says van Rooyen. 'It also means that careful vetting is even more essential for lower-priced properties, as applicants are more likely to fall into lower income brackets. "However, there are high-risk and low-risk tenants in every income bracket, and using smarter tools helps agents identify low-income, low-affordability tenants who nevertheless have perfect payment records.'

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Age was also said to play a clear role, as the 20 - 29 age group showed the lowest share of minimum-risk tenants (29.6%), likely due to thinner credit files and shorter rental histories. However, despite being unknown quantities in normal credit scoring terms, this group tends to have more disposable income after debt and rent, making them potentially better prospects than raw scores may suggest. In contrast, 61.3% of applicants over 60 were classified as presenting minimum risk, and tenant risk declined sharply for all age groups over 50, thereby indicating a pattern likely linked to more stable financial positions and mature credit profiles. According to Experian's latest Consumer Default Index (CDI) for the first quarter of this year, despite their active economic roles, young South Africans face barriers in accessing the credit market. Representing nearly 24% of the adult population, the youth segment (consumers around 30 years and younger) was said to account for only 9% of the total credit market, holding just 3% of outstanding debt. Vehicle Asset Finance (14%) and Retail Loans (10%) are the most common credit products for youth, reflecting their current financial needs and market accessibility. In contrast, youth only hold 1% of the Home Loans market, underscoring the long-term financial milestones that remain largely out of reach for many people. Interestingly, the report finds only slight gender-based differences in tenant risk, despite women earning roughly 80% of what men do, according to Stats SA. Some 40.1% of men were assessed as minimum-risk, compared to 39.1% of women. One possible explanation is that women spent 3.2% less of their income on debt repayments than men, improving their overall affordability profile. While trends by income, age and gender offer useful insights, van Rooyen reiterates that every tenant is unique. 'Each demographic contains both high and low-risk individuals,' says van Rooyen. 'That's why risk reporting based on proven payment behaviour is essential for agents managing tenant selection. It's not just about reducing risk for agents, it also ensures that good tenants who pay their rent reliably can go to the front of the line, no matter their income levels or what's left after servicing current debts,' van Rooyen said. 'With more rental applicants falling into the high-risk category than a year ago, the days of relying solely on gut feel or credit scores are behind us. The smartest agencies are combining data sources for a full-circle view of tenant reliability.' According to the South Africa Property Market Predictions for 2025 published by the Landlord Association of South Africa (LASA) in January, the South African property market is set to undergo significant changes in 2025, influenced by shifting economic dynamics, evolving consumer behaviour, and potential legislative amendments. The National Residential and Commercial Landlords Association said the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) was expected to maintain a cautious monetary policy stance in 2025. It said that while inflation may stabilise around the target range of 3% to 6%, marginal interest rate increases could be implemented to manage global economic pressures. This would impact home loan affordability and demand for residential properties, it said. LASA said that despite a challenging global economy, South Africa's GDP growth is forecasted to recover modestly in 2025, supported by mining exports and infrastructure investment. It said urban areas, particularly Gauteng and the Western Cape, were likely to see a resurgence in property development and demand. Independent Media Property
