“…'According to the World Bank, postapartheid South Africa is now the single most unequal country in the world' (Clarno, 2017: 33). Another example: While the ANC instituted a land reform programme in 1994, settlers retain the overwhelming majority of land (Clarno, 2017;Karriem and Hoskins, 2016). While there is not space here to review land reform policies, including emerging changes (see Karriem and Hoskins, 2016;Kepe et al, 2011;Koot et al, 2019), it is worth noting that in the constitution, land restitution is limited to persons or communities who were dispossessed of their land after 19 June 1913.…”

As discussed above, this date corresponds to the Natives' Land Act, which officially codified land dispossession by confining Africans to only 7% of the land making up South Africa with baseless claims that these meagre, poor quality lands corresponded to traditional homelands.…”

In the quarter-century since it began its work, the South African TRC has been endlessly debated. At the same time, a field of study emerged centred on settler colonialism, and settler colonial analyses have become established in transitional justice. South Africa’s TRC, however, has escaped examination through the lens of settler colonialism. Typically, settler colonialism in South Africa is treated as an historical phase; however, recent scholarship emphasises South Africa’s colonial present. Following these insights, this article: (1) establishes the relevance of a settler colonial lens for interpreting the South African TRC by demonstrating the settler colonialism of apartheid; (2) provides an empirical examination of the TRC’s Report. The Report acknowledges settler colonialism while advancing a series of denials, producing ‘ambivalent denial’; (3) explores the implications of ambivalent denial. Specifically, ambivalent denial contributes to democratisation without decolonisation by enabling settler denial and failing to address settler colonial structures.

“…The main focus of the NDP Outcome 8, is promoting access to affordable and quality living environments by addressing dysfunctional settlements patterns and addressing limited housing stock. It encourages the prioritisation of development in cities, around development corridors, transport hub and economic nodes, preventing housing development in poorly located areas and also ensuring access to basic services, and economic opportunities (Karriem & Hoskins, 2016). In terms of the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014-2019, its key targets which are strategically aligned with the targets of the NDP 2030 are to capacitate municipalities so that they are able to effectively deliver basic services to the people of South Africa.…”

Since the dawn of democracy in 1994, the Republic of South Africa (RSA) has been trying to address the aftermath and consequences of the apartheid regime. This comprises of the socio-economic, spatial, and political challenges that have persisted over the decades. These have had far reaching repercussions in the society to the extent that 25 years later after apartheid, the country finds itself with alarming rates of poverty, social exclusion, unemployment, and inequality. Literature has revealed that there is a direct relationship between poverty and inequality as well as access to socio-economic services / opportunities. Poor access to these services perpetuates exclusivity and thus inequality and marginalisation in all form and character. The purpose of this study is to investigate how housing developments have been used in South Africa to address poverty and inequality. The aim is to understand how to plan for better and more socially and economically thriving communities through housing development, focusing specifically on aspects of development that contributes to addressing poverty and inequality. Using a Delphi three round method of Inquiry of 20 experts, perceptions from a diverse panel of experts about mixed-income housing development were uncovered. In comparison to previous housing models, the study uncovered a significant paradigm shift in housing development and what a housing intervention should achieve. Since 2004 after the introduction of the Breaking New Ground Policy (BNG), the housing development approaches, and interventions have shifted away from just providing roof over once head to providing social asset to the poor and a whole range economic opportunities. The conclusion is that housing development by virtue of location, diverse housing typologies and tenure options is now part and parcel of integrated planning and the pro poor development agenda.
