Скачать или смотреть Township History: Khayelitsha Apartheid Blueprint

The source provides an extensive historical and analytical overview of Khayelitsha, one of South Africa's largest townships, tracing its origins to the apartheid state's policies of spatial control and racial segregation. Established in 1983, its primary purpose was the containment and isolation of the African population in the Cape Metropolitan Area, specifically lacking an intrinsic economic base and designed as a distant dormitory township. The text details the coercive and often violent mechanisms used for forced relocation, including state collusion with vigilantes to clear informal settlements, which created a deep legacy of distrust in policing that fuels high rates of vigilantism today. The report concludes that despite post-1994 democratic progress and massive demographic growth, Khayelitsha continues to struggle with enduring structural challenges like economic marginalization, infrastructure deficits, and high crime rates that are a direct inheritance of its ideologically restrictive founding.
