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.
