Mekhukhu: Urban African Cities of the Future

South Africa's cities contain many more families than they do houses. So as many as seven million people, most of them black, have built their own shelters there. What are these shack settlements like? Who runs them? Do people live in them by choice? Where do they get water from? How much business do they contain? This study tries to answer all these questions, drawing extensively on.
