Abstract
The aim of the study to an analyse stakeholder participation in community housing in Payneville Extension
1, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. In South Africa housing delivery is a human right that is
considered as a one of the basic services essential for human dignity. During the apartheid era the black
majority was excluded from housing delivery and other developments, hence the democratic government
embarked on various initiatives as part of redress.
This study revealed that community participation is not only essential in housing service delivery, but it is
also a determining principle in ensuring quality houses upon which social cohesion and solidarity could
be enhanced. It is therefore, crucial that it creates awareness among stakeholders on decisions made in the
provision of their housing. study highlighted that when communities participate in a project, they make
the stakeholders to be accountable of the housing project and the quality and standards of the houses to be
delivered. also highlighted that there is a need to involve the community to a greater extent in decision
making and development project in order to increase the degree of trust and avoid confrontations that often
times led to the delays and costly incurrences of a project. Although their hindrances to community
participation, the study revealed different strategies that could be used to overcome them through the
promotion and enhancement community participation. In this instance participants wanted community
participation to be the watchdog of the delivery of housing in the study area.
