ADRIAN GOSLETT
Regional Director and CEO of RE/
MAX of Southern Africa
“The demand for rental homes is unprec-
edented high, while there is simply not
enough properties to go around. Tenants
are looking for the best place for the best
value, but currently, it seems that many
rental agencies are unable to assist because
of the lack of inventory out there.”
PROFESSOR EDGAR PIETERSE
Director at African Centre for Cities
“This inefficiency creates pockets of
poverty on the outskirts of the city. In
South Africa’s push to provide 4.5-mil-
lion new homes since democracy, we
have compromised on location.”
GERHARD KOTZÉ
MD of the RealNet
“In a recent survey by Apartments.com
to establish which amenities tenants
consider most desirable, 61% listed a
pre-installed satellite TV connection and
53% listed high-speed internet access. By
comparison, only 36% listed air condi-
tioning and only 22% listed parking.”
