In this @AJEnglish analysis by Shola Lawal, Raesetje Sefala discusses what she has found through our spatial apartheid research.
"Raesetje Sefala, a researcher at...DAIR, said her organisation has observed that townships are still expanding. “They continue to resemble their appearance during the apartheid era, indicating that similar small land sizes are still being allocated,” she told Al Jazeera."
"Sefala said the South African government now groups townships together with well-serviced suburbs as “formal residential neighbourhoods”, which makes it difficult for researchers to track the actual improvements in quality of life since the end of apartheid.
"However, as someone who comes from a township, “I can attest to the extent of the poor service delivery,” she added."
