Housing Normalisation in the Context of Illegal Occupation of RDP Houses Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs In their preliminary report, titled, Redesigning South African democracy; the future of Human Settlement in Limpopo Province, the Housing Advisory Panel identified a number of challenges that affect the process of housing Provision in the province. One of the challenges has got to do with what they call a restrictive informal settlements intervention plan. Flowing straight from the plan is the problem of incorrect occupants. This is the problem that dogged the housing delivery program since 1994. Literature review in this study reveals that a sizable number of houses are occupied by people who are not the actual beneficiaries of the houses. It has been found out that post occupation monitoring to ensure that the right beneficiaries remain in the housing units for the required minimum period poses a challenge. There is serious lack of information on the part of beneficiaries which may lead to rightful occupants renting or selling their allocated units.The study seeks to investigate incidences of the illegal occupation of the RDP houses in the province.
