Kimberley
MEC Bentley Vass (pictured), addressed the national Rental Housing Tribunal (RHT) quarterly meeting that started today over a period of two days, hosted by the Northern Cape Province, in Kimberley.
The Rental Housing Tribunal (RHT) is an independent, free provincial body in South Africa established under the Rental Housing Act to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants and to promote fair rental housing practices.
‘’The Northern Cape is set to be South Africa’s New Growth Front. The rental housing landscape in the Northern Cape is currently being reshaped by a unique Mining and Energy Renaissance. We are proud as the Northern Cape to host this exchange of intellectual capital. Let us work together to ensure that every South African who calls a rented space ‘’home’’ can do so with the full protection of the law’’ said MEC Vass.
While the province remains the most affordable in South Africa, the pressure on specific urban and industrial nodes is creating a significant challenge for the Rental Housing Tribunal.
All the RHTs from across South Africa and other human settlements stakeholders have converged on Kimberley for this important quarterly meeting, that will end on Friday, 13th March 2026.
