Members and supporters gathered near the homes to support the party on 28 April 2026. The party posted a series of tweets on its @MkhontoweSizwex X account. The first family to receive the house was the Jeek family. The house is situated on the corner of a busy township road.

Party president Jacob Zuma was also present at the handing over of the houses and cut the ribbons, marking a new beginning for the Jele family. The group moved to the second house, which was also handed over to a family in the townships.

The handing over of homes occurred days after the party celebrated its second annual Commemoration of struggle icon Solomon Mahlangu. Zuma accused the African National Congress of monopolising the legacy of anti-apartheid activists.
