Financial Inclusion In South Africa: An Integrated Framework For Financial Inclusion Of Vulnerable Communities In South Africa's Regulatory System Reform, Lydie Louis, Frederic Chartier 2017 Hult International Business School

Financial Inclusion In South Africa: An Integrated Framework For Financial Inclusion Of Vulnerable Communities In South Africa's Regulatory System Reform, Lydie Louis, Frederic Chartier

Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy

Vulnerable communities in developing countries like the poor in South Africa are not included in their country’s formal economy because the poor have little or no access to financial services. As such, the poor struggle to survive, and to capture the interests of the banking industry to provide them with access to affordable financial services. Public-private financial inclusion initiatives have been insignificant or proven unsustainable to include the poor into the financial fabric of their domestic country. This is because financial inclusion initiatives have primarily been defined, and designed as a “social responsibility” by the government and the banking industry …


Armed Response: An Unfortunate Legacy Of Apartheid, Leila Lawlor 2017 Georgia State University

Armed Response: An Unfortunate Legacy Of Apartheid, Leila Lawlor

Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy

After apartheid was repealed in South Africa, the country’s system of forced segregation officially ended. Vestiges of racial discrimination remain, however, including spatial segregation in housing, income inequality, and huge disparities in the government’s provisioning of basic services. The poorest of South Africa’s citizens live in peripheral communities, far from city centers and employment hubs. The poorest communities often lack safe streets and safe toilets. Whereas wealthier South Africans are able to pay private policing companies to provide armed security, those in the poorest of communities must live with regular fear of violent crime. The problem is compounded by a …


Citizen's Co-Production Of Public Safety As A Symptom Of State Failure: The Case Of South African Vigilantism, Dawid Szescilo 2017 University of Warsaw

Citizen's Co-Production Of Public Safety As A Symptom Of State Failure: The Case Of South African Vigilantism, Dawid Szescilo

Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy

The growing interest in co-production of public services reflects the need to liberate from the dichotomy between state and market provision. Whereas the concept of co-production is not new, it gained broader recognition among public administration scholars in recent years. What is characteristic for the academic discourse on this idea, is a strong focus on the benefits of co-production such as effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness and quality of public services. This article provides more critical insight into co-production of public security by exploring the phenomenon of vigilantism in South Africa. The major aim of this article is to examine the major …

New Forms Of Inequality In Cape Town: A Comparative Economic And Legal Study To Defend The Right To Housing, Wellington Migliari 2017 University of Barcelona

New Forms Of Inequality In Cape Town: A Comparative Economic And Legal Study To Defend The Right To Housing, Wellington Migliari

Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy

Inequality has been a topic in the core of many studies about urban development. Different theories contributed enormously to innovative reflections on the 2008 global financial crisis. However, the perverse economic practices on city construction and the housing issues remain. The aim of the present article is to show how far the right to housing in Cape Town has been affected by risky real estate investments. Unemployment rates, public money being involved in the property market and mortgage system for speculative purposes are some of the dependent variables that can shed light on these new urban forms of inequality in …

Equitable Access To Public Transport: Corridor Plans For Transit-Oriented Development In Soweto, South Africa And Boston, Massachusetts Compared, Janice Griffith 2017 Suffolk University Law School

Equitable Access To Public Transport: Corridor Plans For Transit-Oriented Development In Soweto, South Africa And Boston, Massachusetts Compared, Janice Griffith

Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy

The article argues that municipalities should play a major role in ensuring equitable access to public transportation and in planning for transit-oriented development. It presents two case studies that illustrate the importance of these undertakings. In South Africa, apartheid spatial and racial segregation resulted in the exclusion of non-white residents from the urban core where the economy was centered. These residents, who were forced to live in a city’s outlying areas, experienced considerable difficulty in commuting to the workplace. To address the lack of transportation equity, the City of Johannesburg, with support from the national and provincial governments, embarked on …
