From all the information presented, it appears that Soweto East is a typical (involuntary)
relocation project for various reasons. First, the choice of Lang’ata for the temporary relocation
of residents was based more on the availability of public land (a donation from the Housing
Ministry through the Ministry of Home Affairs) as opposed to the desire(s) of the affected
population. Furthermore, there was a delay in implementing both the temporary and permanent
housing projects in the affected areas. For example, several houses in Soweto East Zone A have
in recent months been (re-)occupied by new people after being left unoccupied (but not
destroyed as they belong to the structure owners). Contrary to initial expectations, nothing has
been done to rehabilitate Soweto East Zone A, two years after the implementation of the
project.
