Abstract

Under apartheid, townships were earmarked as neighbourhoods for people of colour as part of the regime's racial segregation programme. Despite general improvements in basic service delivery since the demise of apartheid (Todes & Turok, 2018), townships remain characterised by precarious living conditions and socio-economic challenges.
