Diepsloot

Diepsloot is a densely populated Township in the north of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located in the newly formed Region A (formerly regions 1 and 2). It is made up of fully government-subsidised housing (Extensions 4,5,6,9,10), brick houses built by landowners (Extensions 2 and 7), partially government subsidised houses (Extension 3/Tanganani) as well as shacks (the biggest sections being Extensions 1, 12 and 13). These shacks are built on any piece of land with nothing already on it. Some landowners charge rent to others to stay in a shack on their land
