In response to rising squatting rates, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has announced the province’s creation of the Land Invasion Monitoring and Inspection Tool (LIMIT), an artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to combat illegal land invasion occupations. Lesufi made this announcement on Wednesday at the Gautrain Management Agency in Midrand during a reflection on the 100th anniversary of the ANC-led Government of Provincial Unity (GPU).
People from several counties and provinces are flooding into townships and informal settlements in Gauteng province, illegally claiming and occupying the land while frequently selling or renting plots to others. On the land they illegally occupied, some of the residents construct homes and shacks, while others launch modest enterprises. Land invasion has become a major problem, occurring in portions of Johannesburg, Randburg, Tshwane, and other places.
Lesufi acknowledged to the media that the province has been struggling with the growing issue of unauthorised land invasions. According to him, this influx has made the housing backlog worse and put a burden on public resources, necessitating immediate action.
According to Lesufi, the province government’s AI-powered LIMIT tool attempts to address the issue of land invasion. “LIMIT prevents invaders from establishing themselves by enabling early detection of illegal activities,” Lesufi stated. LIMIN, he explained, is a real-time, proactive approach that employs technology to identify and react to land invasions. With pride, he declared, “It is the first of its kind in South Africa.”
Lesufi stated his firm conviction that technology plays a major role in combating the crime of unauthorised land occupations. “By sending early and targeted warnings, this tool reduces the time and resources needed to identify and respond to land invasions.” He added that the application offers eviction orders, prosecutions, and easily accessible evidence that may be used as strong evidence in court. “All of our municipalities will have access to this tool to assist them in managing the challenges posed by land invasion,” Lesufi stated.
