City of Cape Town mayoral committee member for economic opportunities and asset management James Vos has urged the ministers' personal intervention to allocate more resources to ensure the Cape Town deeds office continued with its operations.

Cape Town – The City of Cape Town's mayoral committee member for economic opportunities and asset management James Vos said on Tuesday called on the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and Rural Development and Land Reform ministers to reopen the Cape Town deed office as a matter of urgency.

The deeds office is responsible for the registration, management and maintenance of the property registry in South Africa. He acknowledged Covid-19 mitigation measures did have an impact on services, but urged ministers and their teams to find alternative methods of working that allowed services to continue while prioritising the safety of staff.

He said the property sector and the Cape Town economy could not afford the cost and delayed revenue streams.
