Sense of Neighbourhood in a South African Urban Locale
The nature of the unfolding social cohesion in previously racially segregated residential spaces has attracted attention since the collapse of apartheid in South Africa and the subsequent transition to democracy in 1994. This paper uses sense of neighbourhood to investigate the emerging social interactions in Cambridge, a former whites-only residential suburb in East London, South Africa. Fitting a binary logistic regression on survey data from a…

Neighbourhood context and social cohesion in Southernwood, East London, South Africa
This paper examines the relationship between neighbourhood context and social interactions in Southernwood, an inner-city residential suburb in East London, South Africa.

Contrary to expectations, interview data showed benign effects of racial diversity while social disorgan…
Spatial Integration in Residential Suburbs of East London, South Africa (1993-2008)

The results show that a greater proportion (74%) of Black residential property transfers took place in relatively cheaper residential suburbs while 65.2% of white buyers bought in more expensive suburbs. Using the chi-square test of association, the paper tests the hypothesis that race was related to the patt…

The Transformation of the Local State in South Africa (1979-1991)
This paper analyzes the development of the property “super-taxation” problem experienced by Indians and coloreds in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in the post-1979/1980 period. Within theoretical perspectives on the local state, the resistance of the Pietermaritzburg Combined Ratepayers and Residents' Association (PCRRA) to the high property taxes resulting from the implementation of the Group Areas Act at the local level, is discussed. The pape…
