Nonetheless, there is a significant degree to which it tends to be organized and articulated through the local. This contribution argues that while the political limitations of purely local modes of organization are clear, it should not be assumed that local struggles are some sort of misguided distraction from building a broader progressive movement. It is suggested that, on the contrary, the best prospects for the emergence of a broader popular struggle lie in building, sustaining and linking local struggles.

An independent study dissertation, submitted to the university of derby in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of bachelor of science. Single honours in third world development. Course code: L9L3. March 2010 Relocation, relocation, marginalisation: development, and grassroots struggles to transform politics in urban south africa. Abstract 2 Society in post-apartheid South Africa is highly polarised. Although racial apartheid ended in 1994, this paper shows that an economic and spatial apartheid is still in place. The country has been neoliberalised, and this paper concludes that a virtual democracy is in place, where the poor are excluded from decision-making. Urban shack-dwellers are constantly under threat of being evicted (often illegally) and relocated to peri-urban areas, where they become further marginalised. The further away from city centres they live, the less employment and education opportunities are available to them. The African National Congress (ANC) government claims to be moving the shack-dwellers to decent housing with better facilities, although there have been claims that these houses are of poor quality, and that they are in marginal areas where transport is far too expensive for residents to commute to the city for employment. The ANC is promoting ‘World Class Cities’, trying to facilitate economic growth by encouraging investment. They are spending much on the 2010 World Cup, and have been using the language of ‘slum elimination’.

    Trabajo social comunitario y asentamientos chabolistas: Estudio comparativo de experiencias de intervención social Community social work and shanty town settlements: Comparative study of social intervention experiences JOSÉ DAVID GUTIÉRREZ SÁNCHEZ Universidad Pablo de Olavide. [email protected] JENIFER ORTEGA TORRES Instituto de Migraciones, Universidad de Granada. [email protected] Enviado: 19/09/2018 Aceptado: 23/11/2018 Resumen: El carácter ecléctico y dinámico que presenta el Trabajo Social Comunitario le convierte en una unidad de intervención que se ajusta a las exigencias y retos que la sociedad actual alberga ante situaciones y contextos de vulnerabilidad social como son los asentamientos chabolistas. La finalidad de la investigación es evaluar las intervenciones llevadas a cabo en asentamientos chabolistas en el ámbito del Trabajo Social Comunitario por medio del análisis comparativo de varios escenarios, para posteriormente estudiar el impacto de las intervenciones desarrolladas dentro de entornos catalogados como de riesgo o vulnerabilidad para las personas. El estudio se ha llevado a cabo por medio de la metodología cualitativa a partir del estudio biblio- gráfico por medio de diversas fuentes y, además, por medio de la visita a los contextos que se presta atención: Asperones (Málaga), El Vacie (Sevilla) y El Gallinero (Madrid). Se analizan los territorios te- niendo en cuenta diversas categorías de intervención comunitaria como son el enfoque comunitario intercultural, la acción comunitaria y el enfoque comunitario ya que, de este modo, se sitúa la óptica analítica en el propio desarrollo social de las comunidades, la interacción de los agentes sociales y educativos, el empoderamiento y las relaciones de poder de carácter asimétrico y las demandas específicas teniendo en cuenta que éstas albergan en muchas situaciones un interés general.

When the South African government promises to 'eradicate the slums' and begins to evict shack dwellers far outside the city, three friends who live in Durban's vast shantytowns refuse to be moved. Dear Mandela follows their journey from their shacks to the highest court in the land as they invoke Nelson Mandela's example and become leaders in a growing social movement. By turns inspiring, devastating and funny, the film offers a new perspective on the role that young people can play in political change and is a fascinating portrait of South Africa coming of age. 93 minutes – South Africa / USA WINNER, GRAND JURY PRIZE, BROOKLYN FILM FESTIVAL WINNER, BEST DOCUMENTARY, BROOKLYN FILM FESTIVAL WINNER, BEST SOUTH AFRICAN DOCUMENTARY, DURBAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AFRICAN ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY WINNER, GOLDEN BUTTERFLY AWARD, MOVIES THAT MATTER FILM FESTIVAL 2 LONG SYNOPSIS When the South African government promises to ‘eradicate the slums’ and begins evicting shack dwellers from their homes, three friends who live in Durban’s vast shantytowns refuse to be moved.

  • Politics in the Slum: a View from South Africa the Modern State, And
    Politics in the Slum: A View from South Africa 1 The modern state, and its civil society, have always been comfortable with workers in their allotted place – be it formed around the immediate needs of industrial production, like the migrant workers hostels in apartheid South Africa or contemporary Dubai, or an attempt at creating a haven, like the suburban home which has its roots in the gendered and raced class compromise reached in North America after the Second World War. When there has been a part of the population rendered or considered superfluous to the immediate needs of production there has been a degree of comfort with the inevitably bounded spaces into which these people have been abandoned or contained – prisons, ghettos, Bantustans etc. But both the modern state and civil society have always been acutely uncomfortable with that part of the ‘dangerous class’ - vagabonds or squatters - that are, by virtue of their occupation of space outside of state regulation, by definition out of place and threatening to domination constructed, along with other lines of force, on the ordering of space. In 1961 Frantz Fanon, the great philosopher of African anti-colonialism, described the shack settlements that “circle the towns tirelessly, hoping that one day or another they will be let in” as “the gangrene eating into the heart of colonial domination”. He argued that “this cohort of starving men, divorced from tribe and clan, constitutes one of the most spontaneously and radically revolutionary forces of a colonised people”.2 Colonial power tended to agree and often obliterated shanty towns, usually in the name of public health and safety.
