  • 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).

  • Finding Ways to Increase Access to Nutritious Food in an Urban Township Through the Informal Economy
    Finding ways to increase access to nutritious food in an urban township through the informal economy by Aabida Davis Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Sustainable Development in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Ms Candice Kelly Co Supervisor: Etai- Even Zahav March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The current food system has been described as inadequate in meeting the food security needs of the global population given high levels of environmental degradation, malnourishment and non-communicable diseases (WHO 2016; FAO 2016). The drivers of this increased nutrition burden, also known as the nutrition transition (a shift to energy dense, nutrient-poor foods), have been linked to globalisation and urbanisation (Popkin 2012). One implication of the rapid urbanisation of the African continent means an increased reliance on purchasing as opposed to producing food. As South Africa is 65 percent urban (World Bank 2016), food is accessed mostly through retail thus making the urban poor highly dependent on food prices and proximity to food retailers.
