Abstract
In the post-apartheid city, protest action has become synonymous with land invasions. The
constant growth of informal settlements in South Africa places significant pressure on local
and national authorities, but more so on local social dynamics. Additionally, informal
settlements tend to occur on marginal land that is not well suited to development and prone to
flooding, as well as fire risks, thus making it challenging for the government to render
services or install bulk infrastructure.
