The John Dube Precinct development presents a unique opportunity to develop a new city in Ekurhuleni which is unencumbered by the legacy of apartheid.
This development could become a template for other regions in Gauteng and beyond.
The proposed John Dube Integrated Housing Development is an exc iting development poised to become a shining example of the benefits of Government-Private Sector cooperation in the development of sustainable human settlements in South Africa. The vacant land abutting Duduza on the northeast has for many years been earmarked for future extensions to the township. The bulk of this land (Remainder of Portion 41 and Portion 77 of Grootfontein Farm) was acquired in the late 1990's by the City of Ekurhuleni specifically for this purpose.
The extent of the land well as its central location in southeast Ekurhuleni makes it ideal for the development of an integrated, multi-functional "New City" which will supply not only new housing opportunities but also variety of urban commercial, industrial, and institutional amenities and job opportunities to the greater Kwatsaduza area.
