The main principles of housing policy in South Africa were established in the period leading up to the first democratic elections in 1994. This paper sets those in the context of development theory and the legacy of apartheid planning. The main aspects of the 1997 Housing Act are discussed as are current housing finance and subsidy systems. The final section of the paper considers some examples of the way in which the housing production and improvement is being delivered and evaluates the state of housing at the end of the ANC's first term of office
