Moral Tribes and Corrupting Cities
In the early 1930s the Department of Public Health (DPH) blamed the ‘increased prevalence [of VD] especially amongst the urbanised and detribalised class of natives’ on ‘the slackening or absence of moral restrictions amongst them’. Administrators and liberal and missionary philanthropists linked the extent of VD in the general African population to widespread cohabitation, illegitimacy, prostitution and beer brewing, which they attributed to the…

A section of the migrant workforce and a group of women depen…

Reform, repression and resistance in South Africa
This article is a case study of reform policy and popular opposition in Alexandra, a black township in the heart of Johannesburg and Sandton's wealthiest white suburbs. First, it examines the popular response to reformist policy in the early 1980s and the transformation to ‘people's power’. ‘People's power’ was informed by an insurrectionary strategy which gave rise to hasty organisation and was based on a limited conception of state power. The d…
Rent boycotts, the state, and the transformation of the urban political economy in South Africa
The contradictions of South Africa's political economy, in the interaction of politically entrenched racism and capitalist production relations, produces chronic discontent in the townships of the Transvaal and Orange Free State while limiting the political capacity of the State to manage such anger. The consequence has been the urban turmoil of the last three years, a process here analysed through the rent boycotts — and their attendant politica…
