Bathola Ekhaya: Two African Women Move to Chatsworth

Chatsworth: The Making of a South African Township, edited by Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed, 2013

Abstract
From the 1960s, the state's social engineering created suburban locations meant to delineate and fix racial space through family-based segregation. As racial zones were dismantled in the 1990s, created new linguistic, cultural and religious exchanges and adaptations in the township of Chatsworth. This chapter chronicles the experiences of two zulu-speaking women to provide insight into the possibilities and constraints that single African women encountered and their contributions to the cosmopolitan possibilities within a post-apartheid remaking of space.
