The article focuses on the pro-poor registration projects and the right of housing for poor people in South Africa. It looks into the conveyance process of low-cost properties to the poor population in the country. The author also discusses eight legal issues which normally arise during conveyance such as compliance to the Alienation of Land Act, compliance to the country's customary law and issues concerning the law of delict and contract. She also tackles the potential role of the Land Titles Adjustment Act serving as small-claims court for second-generation land transfers in the country.
