  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

  • Economy, Society and Municipal Services in Khayelitsha
    Economy, society and municipal services in Khayelitsha Jeremy Seekings Centre for Social Science Research, University of Cape Town Report for the Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Police Inefficiency in Khayelitsha and a Breakdown in Relations between the Community and the Police in Khayelitsha December 2013 Summary Established in 1983, Khayelitsha has grown into a set of neighbourhoods with a population of about 400,000 people, approximately one half of whom live in formal houses and one half in shacks, mostly in informal settlements rather than backyards. Most adult residents of Khayelitsha were born in the Eastern Cape, and retain close links to rural areas. Most resident children were born in Cape Town. Immigration rates seem to have slowed. The housing stock – formal and informal – has grown faster than the population, resulting in declining household size, as in South Africa as a whole. A large minority of households are headed by women. The state has an extensive reach across much of Khayelitsha. Access to public services – including water, electricity and sanitation – has expanded steadily, but a significant minority of residents continue to rely on communal, generally unsatisfactory facilities. Children attend schools, and large numbers of residents receive social grants (especially child support grants). Poverty is widespread in Khayelitsha: Half of the population of Khayelitsha falls into the poorest income quintile for Cape Town as a whole, with most of the rest falling into the second poorest income quintile for the city. The median annual household income in 2011, according to Census data, was only about R20,000 (or R6,000 per capita).

  • Speech by the Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia De Lille, at the Full Council Meeting on 26 September 2013
    Speech by the Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia de Lille, at the full Council meeting on 26 September 2013 Good morning, goeie dag, molweni, as salaam alaikum, Mr Speaker, I would like to spare a moment to think of the family of Saskia Michaels, the little girl from Mitchells Plain who remains missing and the little girl who went missing last year. I went out to Tafelsig almost two weeks ago to help the community search for Saskia and experienced first-hand the pain and trauma that they are going through. While we have yet to find her, I would like her family to know that this Council has them in their thoughts, as we do for all victims of tragedy. I would like to remind Councillors and the public that we have offered a R50 000 reward for any information that helps us find these girls. And let me also take this moment to thank the brave men and women of our emergency services. Their professional spirit and commitment to duty have helped all those people who have lost so much in the recent floods in Cape Town. The City of Cape Town has spent more than R15,9 million to help alleviate the suffering of its most vulnerable citizens caused by the storms of August and September. Since August, 204 206 residents have been affected by flooding caused by the severe weather. Our Disaster Risk Management Centre, with the assistance of the South African Social Security Agency through disaster relief agencies, has to date helped distribute thousands of blankets, meals, food parcels, flood kits and baby packs to flood victims and street people since August.
