This is a Human Settlements document combining a 2026 internal training schedule for the transition to SMARTGOV with an information brochure about the Rental Housing Tribunal. It explains that tenants, landlords and certain groups may lodge rental disputes using a prescribed form, followed by investigation, mediation and arbitration if needed. The training sessions were scheduled for February and March 2026, while the Tribunal complaint service has no stated closing date.
The document is a public notice by the Minister of Human Settlements inviting nominations to appoint members to the Ministerial Advisory Panel in terms of the Housing Act, 107 of 1997 (as amended). It specifies the required qualifications and competencies (e.g., built environment, public administration, developmental studies, human settlements policy, financing, infrastructure finance, and legal/governance frameworks), and states that appointed members will be remunerated according to approved Departmental rates and appointed for three years after signing a contract. Nominations must be submitted to the Department of Human Settlements by 31 July 2026 at 16:00, either by post (Private Bag X644, Pretoria 0001, attention Ms M Thusi) or by email (mapnominations@dhs.gov.za).

The call is issued under multiple housing and related statutes and lists a wide range of required fields of expertise. Nominations must be submitted by email to DHS.ComplianceBoard@dhs.gov.za by 31 July 2026 at 16:00, and self-nomination is not allowed; nominees will be subject to security vetting and selection processes.
