Old Wine in New Bottles: Striving for the Impossible in Durban

In the chapter, Old Wine in New Bottles: Striving for the Impossible in Durban, Elias Cebekhulu and Evan Mantzaris report on the problems of poverty, unemployment, crime and inadequate service provisions which affect people living in inner city Durban as well as the townships and squatter camps around Durban. These are all addressed in more detail in later papers. The division of resources in post-apartheid South Africa is highly inequitable, poverty is still highly racialised (as black) and this is very striking in and around Durban.
