Here to stay
Meanwhile, research done at a Cape Town informal settlement suggests people living in such settlements plan on staying there permanently. This is despite the fact that they go to areas close to big centres like Cape Town in the hope of finding employment.
The research findings were presented at the Population Association of Southern Africa conference in Mafikeng. One of the researchers, Ravayi Marindo, says: "There are lots of networks that bring people into the informal settlements. Many of them actually come looking for jobs. Part of it has to do with people who actually come because somebody has found a job for them.
"Others come because of the hope of getting a job... There is lots of construction going on and they get those kinds of jobs. The majority of people actually look at the informal settlement as a home and they are not planning to go back although they do keep ties with their family homes."
