Abstract
The largely peaceful, negotiated transition to a political democracy in South Africa was heralded
internationally as a modern day miracle. However, the new democratic government also
committed itself to equal citizenship, nation building and the social inclusion of all groups
oppressed under apartheid. The dismantling of the apartheid state and the accompanying
advancements in democracy have however not been matched by the redress of structural
inequalities, elimination of separate development, land ownership, housing, migrant labour
legacies and achieving inclusive socio-spatial changes. In this context, this mini-thesis examines
transport and location as vital elements for building inclusive social citizenship among residents
of Khayelitsha, Cape Town’s most populated far flung informal settlement.
