I want to bid on the house
I did some research what I can tell of alienation law is that Nelson Mandela metropolitan municipality and department of housing local government and traditional affairs of the provincial administration of the eastern cape have first privilege to buy the property if it's being sold???

Answer to the Question
You are 100% correct in your understanding.
That clause means that the Nelson Mandela metropolitan municipality and department of housing local government and traditional affairs of the provincial administration of the eastern cape has the first right to buy the property if you want to sell it in the future.
So you can buy it on auction, and if you want to sell it in the future, you must offer it to them. If they don't want it, you can sell it to a third party.
If there is a part of the answer which you need more advice on, or clarity please continue in this same thread instead of opening a new question.
