Rustenburg Backyard Shack Survey Yields First Data Haul
The first of three site visits for the Rustenburg Backyard Shack Survey took place today in Thlabane; a well established peri-urban community and former black township with an endearing rural character. 272 questionnaires were completed with the help of 16 Community Development Workers (CDWs). The survey will provide insights into the informal housing market, shack conditions and a variety of baseline demographics. The second phase of the survey travels to the recently built low cost housing development of Rustenburg Ext 22, more affectionately known as 'Sondela' - home to many foreign nationals and a sizable portion of the migrant labour force feeding the region's platinum mines.
