# The City of Tshwane says it is continuing with its crackdown on illegal land use. A total of 713 property owners are set to face steep penalty rates for contravening zoning laws. Properties used for unpermitted purposes will be recategorised, significantly increasing monthly rates. Rates on a one-million-rand residential property could jump from one-thousand-and-16-rand to seven-thousand-628-rand. The metro, which is missing out on billions in lost revenue, has appointed a sub-committee to address illegal developments and ensure compliance.
