What is required is to understand the profound structural crises associated with low-income communities in Durban that help contextualise the recent surge of xenophobic sentiments,D and that also provide clues for long-term, bottom-up antidotes. These crises are being addressed only up to a point by Durban civil society. They have their roots in market and state failures that appear to be beyond the capacity of local organisations which are mainly equipped to do local advocacy, service delivery and in rare cases political solidarity. These failures include: Ð extremely high unemployment which exacerbates traditional and new migrancy patterns; Ð a tight housing market with residential stratification, exacerbating service delivery problems (water/sanitation, electricity and other municipal services); Ð extreme retail business competition; Ð world-leading crime rates; 1 Ð Case study Ð corruption in the Home Affairs Department and other state agencies in a manner detrimental to perceptions regarding immigrants; Ð cultural conflicts; and Ð severe regional geopolitical stresses, particularly in relation to Zimbabwe and the Great Lakes region of Central Africa. Because they did not tackle these root problems head on, Durban civil society organisations band- aided the local manifestations of xenophobia only in the short-run and only up to a point. As the case studies of community/church responses in Durban during 2008-09 show, the structural terrain for renewed conflict – probably in the wake of the 2010 World Cup - remains relatively undisturbed. Durable socio-economic and ‘local geopolitical’ problems remain as challenges for more visionary civil society strategists. Some of these can be found in sites like Chatsworth in South Durban, where the Bottlebrush shack settlement was one of Durban’s most brutal sites of displacement in part because of civil society organising failures over prior years. In other neighbourhoods which serve as case studies – Cato Manor and Cato Crest, the Central Business District and Umbilo – there are equally sobering lessons about the limits of social organising during a ‘moral panic’ such as xenophobia, at this stage of Durban civil society’s maturation. Ironically, there are hints of visionary breakthrough in several relationships established by regional (Southern African) organisations, including the celebrated solidarity expressed during the April 2008 dockworker refusal to unload three million bullets and weaponry destined for Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. There is hope for post-xenophobic Durban civil society, but only if we work through the processes that have taken us from here to here. Although there are many issues that are important to address, the central problems we believe that can be tackled through public policy and civil society activities alike, are unemployment and the exclusion of the lower classes of society from access to adequate and secure living space. Whereas economic managers long ago introduced a dichotomy between living and working spaces, with ‘The Durban System’ amongst the most sophisticated of migrant labour schemes, this was an artificial division, one which xenophobic attacks traversed by allowing resentments born and kept alive in the workplace to be expressed in places of residence. Blame for xenophobic attacks thus generated should be placed squarely at the door of the economic and political leadership who, from the early 1990s, determined that post-apartheid arrangements would perpetuate and even exacerbate the social divisions associated with migrant labour. Moreover, by placing limits on what Durban civil society can legitimately ‘demand’ (and in the process by excluding mass employment, housing for all, and an end to migrancy), the elites limited the ability of working-class people to respond to the problems the declining economy visits upon them. Amongst the limits are the character of working- class leadership, the politics and organizational forms they can generate, their ideology and struggle strategies/tactics, and their alliances. In this context, we believe the structural problems that have adversely affected jammed Durban’s low- income people – thus contributing to long-term xenophobic attitudinal norms – can be summarised as follows, with suggested recommendations for mitigation: XENOPHOBIA AND CIVIL SOCIETY 2 Durban’s structureD social Divisions Problems & recommendations Extremely high unemployment A tight housing market with residential stratification, and service delivery shortfalls • A unifying local/national/regional approach to • A dramatic shift of state investment resources into lowering (durably high) unemployment, based housing/services, for both capital/infrastructure upon a ‘right to work’ and sufficient public and ongoing operating/maintenance subsidies works resources, especially ‘green jobs’, directed to projects needed by poor people and their communities Extreme retail business competition World-leading crime rates • A rising level of disposable income for low-income • A commitment to dramatic increases in publicly- people – e.g. through a Basic Income Grant - to subsidised employment and to channelling accommodate the intensified desperation in the investment resources into low-income areas, so as informal sector to mitigate the economic desperation that so often generates crime Home Affairs Department corruption Cultural conflicts • Changes to SA state regulations that liberalise • A much greater SA state commitment to border restrictions (e.g. the Zimbabwean promotion of cultural diversity and the ‘melting temporary work visa), and a very strong stance pot’ of regional citizenries within SA against such corruption, plus a dramatic increase in staff to accommodate the Department’s rising clientele base Severe regional geopolitical stresses • A shift of SA foreign policy – driven by regional solidaristic initiatives in civil society - away from strategies which exacerbated political-economic

That’s why we’re still in the struggle, to make sure things are done right. We’re still on the road, we’re still grieving for something to be achieved, we’re still struggling for more.” -- Sbusiso Vincent Mzimela “The ANC said ‘a better life for all,’ but I don’t know, it’s not a better life for all, especially if you live in the shacks. We waited for the promises from 1994, up to 2004, that’s 10 years of waiting for the promises from the government.

  • History Workshop
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG HISTORY WORKSHOP STRUCTURE AND EXPERIENCE IN THE MAKING OFAPARTHEID 6-10 February 1990 AUTHOR: Iain Edwards and Tim Nuttall TITLE: Seizing the moment : the January 1949 riots, proletarian populism and the structures of African urban life in Durban during the late 1940's 1 INTRODUCTION In January 1949 Durban experienced a weekend of public violence in which 142 people died and at least 1 087 were injured. Mobs of Africans rampaged through areas within the city attacking Indians and looting and destroying Indian-owned property. During the conflict 87 Africans, SO Indians, one white and four 'unidentified' people died. One factory, 58 stores and 247 dwellings were destroyed; two factories, 652 stores and 1 285 dwellings were damaged.1 What caused the violence? Why did it take an apparently racial form? What was the role of the state? There were those who made political mileage from the riots. Others grappled with the tragedy. The government commission of enquiry appointed to examine the causes of the violence concluded that there had been 'race riots'. A contradictory argument was made. The riots arose from primordial antagonism between Africans and Indians. Yet the state could not bear responsibility as the outbreak of the riots was 'unforeseen.' It was believed that a neutral state had intervened to restore control and keep the combatants apart.2 The apartheid state drew ideological ammunition from the riots. The 1950 Group Areas Act, in particular, was justified as necessary to prevent future endemic conflict between 'races'. For municipal officials the riots justified the future destruction of African shantytowns and the rezoning of Indian residential and trading property for use by whites.

    Best Practices Database: Cato Manor Development Project, Durban Page 1 of 6 Subscriber: Vervoorn, IHS Subscription Expires: 01-AUG-04 Cato Manor Development Project, Durban South Africa Categories: Urban and Regional Planning: - community-based planning -urban renewal Poverty Eradication: - income generation -vocational training Social Services: - public safety Level of Activity: Neighbourhood Ecosystem: Tropical/Sub-Tropical Summary The purpose of the Cato Manor Development Project (CMDP) has been to reverse a legacy of apartheid-era planning 'worst practice', and subsequent unplanned settlement, poverty, internecine community conflict, and poor urban environmental quality. Cato Manor is strategically located near to the centre of South Africa's second largest metropolitan area, and it will soon house over 100 000 poorer people under neighbourhood conditions which external adjudicators now regard as exemplary in international context. Yet, prior to the intervention of the Cato Manor Development Association (CMDA), the area was nationally infamous for a history of forced racial removals (150 000 displaced) and, more recently, for land and home invasions, internecine political conflict and violence amongst poor communities, and an absence of urban services.
