  • CHAPTER SIX CONTEXT of the Ksipp Introduction
    CHAPTER SIX CONTEXT OF THE KSiPP Introduction In their study of integration and its limitations in Johannesburg in the 1990s Beall, Crankshaw and Parnell assert that in order to understand and address divided cities, “…there is a need to understand the challenges involved within historical and geographical contexts” (Beall, Crankshaw and Parnell, 2002:196). Robinson (2006) similarly argues that cities are distinctive and need to be seen within their complex social, political, historical and economic realities. This chapter frames the rich context within which the Kathorus Special Integrated Presidential Project (KSiPP) operated. The details of the project itself will be set out in Chapter Seven. The context for the design and execution of the Kathorus Project was complex. The project’s inception was influenced by multiple forces in various spheres of governance. At a national policy level the development discourse of the pre-election era and the development imperatives of an emerging and young democracy fuelled the need for large-scale visible initiatives. The project drew its inspiration and guidance from emerging national policy as well as from the development discourse of the day. At regional level lobbying for space in a contested area of development would influence responsibilities for project execution. At a local level the parochial and competing visions of municipal institutions affected decisions. There was also the stark, raging urban warfare and economic decline. An ex post-facto evaluation conducted of the Kathorus Project notes the extraordinary institutional and political context within which this project was born: The KSPP occupies a fascinating historical space. It emerged out of an urban war in the weeks before the first democratic elections.
