In South Africa, work has begun on building 86 houses for families forcibly removed from their homes during Apartheid. This marks progress in a landmark case where claimants filed a land restitution application in 1995, shortly after the end of the regime. Although the request was approved in 2006, it took nearly two decades to secure the land.
