The Deeds Offices around the country should start work again on Wednesday, 13 May 2020.

In their circular sent out late on Friday, 8 May, the Acting Director-General sets out the steps that have been taken to implement a gradual return to work. Unfortunately however, only one third of employees will be returning to the office and, as for the deeds office in Cape Town, the picture looks worse. If we are interpreting the circular correctly, only 18 staff members will be in the Deeds Office, with one staff member working remotely and 166 on standby. This is in stark contrast to the Deeds Office in Pretoria, where 90 staff members will return to the office with 126 on standby.

The circular can be viewed here.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated.
