A mouthful was said, we hope other municipal entities nationwide may adopt this initiative to educate our people in the rural outskirts about the infrastructures they reside in & the established chain of authorities that aid in their development & maintenance.

"Illegal" buildings remain a threat in our ever changing ecosystem, putting not only the lives of those who inhabit them at risk...but also the neighboring adjacent units whether existing or pending. Their structural integrity forever remains questionable, not guaranteed to possess the required resistance to withstand our rapidly changing dangerous weather conditions & our ergonomic occupation of them.

We seek to save lives & protect them from apparent possing threats, the regulated chain of authorities in our municipalities is a reinforcement mechanism that ensures that unforseen circumstances like floods, fire outbursts & earthquakes to mention a few...are carefully catered for in our designs in prioritising the safety & health of our people.

We'd like to thank Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality & Chris Hani District Municipality for their resilience to take time to run this successful workshop, which will forever remain an investment that gaurantees prosperous growth for our developing communities.

Yours sincerely

On Wednesday, 26th of March 2026 the regional district municipalities & , took it upon themselves to host a workshop that prepares owners of private student accomodations to understand what's required of them to open & successfully run a student accommodation that's compliant with municipal requirements as per our government gazette.

As it stands, only 1 out of 159 acknowledged properties in both district municipalities has successfully met all the requirements, while the rest are under threat of being shut down provided they meet their compliance dead line which is set on 1 June 2026. This failure to comply by the majority partly results from an understandably poor judgement in appointing "affordable" professional architects to carry out their proposed projects, which has turned out to be very costly as the work done by uneducated designers never gets approved...while monies have already been paid to them in due process for services not fully rendered.

We commend the efforts made by Chris Hani District Municipality & Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality, as they not only bring awareness in the student accommodation buildings business space...but also seek to educate the broader community in the built environment, residential owners(along with future enthusiasts who seek to convert their properties to businesses in a safe & compliant manner) as to how to go about doing that in a way that ensures their property's value appreciates accordingly with time & doesn't face being shut down or even be demolished for failure to meet safety & health measures amongst other complaints regulations.

Dear Valued Customers

We hope you understand the attached price listing analogy, it costs the company more to execute your design directives on the project with our name on the line, risking everything in this highly competitive profession.

We will do as you please, it just comes at a price on our end...as we not only have a creative reputation to maintain but also some sensible engineering of projects to account for in the built environment.

With that said, we'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas & a happy new year, as we continue to bring you relevant cost effective kinetic design solutions for our ever changing global warming troubled weather patterns.

Yours sincerely

Being an architect is a way one approaches life, it's beyond designing buildings & relative objects...it's a continuous transcendence of the souls interpretation of the world it deserves.

It's been decades since most countries in Africa & other formerly colonized communities have received their independence, and one might think they'd resume their former ways of living post colonisation to preserve their heritage & restore their identity...more so the traditional housing formation.

But interestingly, many who squatter nearby cities opt out to build their shelters using corrugated iron, plastics & cardboards instead of applying traditional methods to build mud houses reinforced with straws/sticks...which are materials freely available on the land they stand on.

One may argue that the traditional methods may have been lost over the years since colonial institutions took hold of them, or perhaps the soil structure around the cities isn't conducive to construct mud huts effectively.

Be as it may, the attempt to preserve & continue indigenous mud construction of vernacular architecture should be prioritised. To preserve tribal heritage whilst seeking to explore progressive movements in design to communicate intellectual liberation of the formerly oppressed communities, thus restoring their cultural dignity as a people.
