DISCONTENT. PROTEST. AND THE TfiftNSITION TO CONFRONTATION IN DUDUZA. 1973-1985 Jeremy Seekings Nuffield College, Oxford, 0X1 INF. United Kingdom and Research Unit for Development Sociology, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch 7600. (revised, January 1990) Introduction During 1984-85 the East Rand township of Duduza, like many other black townships in South Africa, became the scene of chronic confrontation between township residents and the security forces. The violence of, and scale of popular participation in, these confrontations stood in sharp contrast to the apparent 'quiescence' which had previously characterised the township. This paper examines the development of township politics in Duduza, as a case-study of the process of transition to confrontation during the early 1980s. The geographical extent of township conflict during the mid 1980s might suggest a common set of causes and experiences. In many different townships, residents did organise and protest, in similar ways, within much the same broad structural context. But - as is becoming clear in the emerging literature of township studies - locally specific factors and experiences were of considerable importance in shaping the timing, direction and pace at which township politics changed.

Using the Katlehong township in Ekurhuleni as a case study, the paper argues that the hitherto marginalised townships can benefit from a localised implementation of smart-city concepts as articulated in the Integrated Urban Development Framework. Instead of viewing townships as spaces of perpetual despair and hopelessness, the paper appreciates these areas as having the potential to benefit from new smart innovative planning approaches that form part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. So, the discussion identifies smart transportation modes such as bicycle-sharing, as well as Bus Rapid Transit Networks as critical in promoting mobility in and beyond townships, while contributing to spatial integration and transformation.
