According to a bbc report, Government has built 3.2 million homes from 1994 to 2018.
The state also estimates a national shortfall of 2.1 million homes for about 12.5 million people but has set a target of 2030 to fill that gap.
However independent think-tank the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa says the backlog is massive and annual delivery by government is clearly insufficient to meet demand.
2017 Stats says About 80% of South Africans live in formal dwellings.
14% live in informal housing which is mostly squatter settlements and The remaining 6% live in traditional homes in rural villages.
