IMPACT

South African real estate developers have a responsibility to address the destructive spatial development policies of Apartheid.

African Equity supports social mobility. We want to work towards equal opportunity for all, this is to allow people, no matter the circumstances in which they were born, to have the same chance as anybody else, of living their best life.
