The following map from the Department of Human Settlement's 'Spatial Viewer on Protest Actions (SPAVOPA)' indicates provincial housing projects and municipal infrastructure grants. The map indicates that since 1994, there has been significant housing delivery, working towards the Gauteng province's goal of eradicating informal settlements by 2014. But this should be seen in conjunction with the data on migration – the GCR remains the fastest growing part of South Africa, and keeping up with population influx (internal and external migration) continues to push these targets out in time.
