EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South Africa’s history demonstrates how the process of urbanization and industrialisation are politically fueled. The result of which may not actually improve the livelihoods of rural people migrating to the cities. People arriving in the city organize themselves to push for improved living and working situations.
