Mogale City warns of fake housing applications and illegal land grabs
Mogale City Local Municipality is aware of ongoing fraudulent activities in the community, including false applications for housing opportunities and coordinated attempts to occupy land illegally.
Mayoral spokesperson Palesa Molefe said these actions are not only unlawful but also compromise the municipality's developmental agenda and its efforts to ensure orderly spatial planning and equitable access to services.
'We wish to categorically state that no individual or organisation has been authorised by the municipality to facilitate informal housing applications or allocate land.

'We must collectively guard against the resurgence of informal settlements and the unlawful occupation of municipal land.
'The municipality will continue to enforce its by-laws without fear or favour, to protect public assets, ensure environmental sustainability and uphold the integrity of spatial development,' she added.
Mayor Lucky Sele said the municipality is currently steering Mogale City towards physical and financial improvement.
