Can Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) be a pathway to affordable homeownership?
Kenya’s affordable housing agenda is a government initiative aimed at addressing the housing deficit in the country by providing affordable and decent housing for its citizens through homeownership. This initiative aligns with the Government’s broader development goals outlined in its Vision 2030 blueprint. The key challenges that have been identified as the barriers to delivering this agenda include (i) limited capacity for rapid construction of affordable homes even though the Government has initiated large-scale construction projects across the country; (ii) lack of guaranteed off-take, which undermines property developers’ confidence in exiting developments upon completion; and (iii) limited access to financing options that could enable developers bring more affordable homes to the market.

Summary of the POPIA case of Munetsi v Madhuyu and Another
The Western Cape High Court recently handed down a judgment that applied certain provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Mr Munetsi (the applicant), applied to the court seeking relief (a public apology) in light of Mr Madhuyu and another’s (respondents) publication on social media platforms of the applicant’s personal information which he alleged to be defamatory. The respondents published the applicant’s mobile number on Facebook, together with a video. The video prompted the respondents’ followers to contact the applicant, and thus resulted in a large volume of phone calls made to his number. The applicant claimed that such publication breached POPIA’s provisions (without any reference to a particular clause), as well as his right to privacy.

In these circumstances, the role of the conveyancer may shift from facilitating the transfer of ownership to either assisting to resolve a dispute between the parties or by holding funds in trust pending the resolution of the dispute by the parties themselves or by an order of court.
