The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements, with South Zambezi as the project management and design team, is the developer of the Syferfontein Project which lies to the west of Lenasia and southwest of Soweto. The project forms part of a conglomerate of residential areas in this region which includes Lenasia, Lawley, Protea Glen Extensions, Soweto, Lufhereng, Leratong and Kagiso.
The project is a mixed typology mega housing development that will yield approximately 60 000 units making it the flagship project for the Gauteng Provincial Government. The development will drastically reduce the ever-growing and critical housing backlog in Gauteng, create thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, and transform and revitalise sustainable human settlement in the West Rand District Municipality and City of Johannesburg.
