Sandile Mbatha explores the concept of informality in relation to how such beneficiaries challenge predominant understanding of how property relations function. These practices are embedded in complex urban tenure dynamics that prevail in post-colonial societies; societies, in which the state's imposition of predominantly western forms of tenure and property rights ignore the anthropological nature of housing UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839462799 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783839462799/original ER -
