Section 26 of the Constitution of S.A, 1996 says ‘everyone has the right to have access to adequate housing’.
Setsmol is a South African based Housing Education Company. It was conceived out of the observation that most people in
South Africa are still in the dark with matters relating to housing due to lack of housing and property ownership knowledge.
Setsmol’s research findings are that rights, contractual obligations, accountability and responsibilities of the prospective
property owners are not adequately explained in a way that would demystify the whole scenario which then results in
flagrant defaults.
Our historical background has left behind a legacy of its own kind in the arena of housing provision. It allowed for a big gap to
be created in housing delivery.
The sustenance of home-ownership and the understanding of the investment component thereof which is so vital are not taken
seriously. Our short courses of education make it possible for realtors and consumers to be aware of the above-mentioned
factors in order to eliminate the risk of default and on the other-hand sustain home – ownership.
This education EMPOWERS people to become competent citizens in relation to Housing and should be a pre- requisite in any
initiative of housing delivery. Setsmol uses simplified day to day languages in its presentation of the courses.
