Nevertheless, what- ever the reasons for this oversight in respect of sec- ond homes, the fact remains that no systematic aca- demic reflection on this phenomenon has been forth- coming in the South African context.

The emergence of such investigation is partly explained in the context of the recent Zimbabwean land-grab fiasco, and South Africa’s languishing land- reform system; but it can mainly be attributed to Second homes and small-town (re)development: the case of Clarens 105 ISSN 0378-5254 Tydskrif vir Gesinsekologie en Verbruikerswetenskappe, Vol 32, 2004 mounting discontent among aspirant home-owners, in might be understood to mean, is provided and atten- reaction to the fact that housing in many parts of the tion is focused on some of the underlying reasons for Western Cape, for example, is becoming unaffordable the development of second homes.
