Ndinda, C. (2011) Women and subsidised housing in KwaZulu-Natal: the extent of empowerment. London: Lambert Academic Publishing.
|
This book is based on the premise that post-apartheid housing policies, compared to the apartheid era, have provided women with greater access to housing. Apartheid policies largely excluded women from ownership and access to capital for building formal housing. The recognition of gender equality and housing as rights protected within the constitution was reinforced by policies, such as the Hou...

In the same period, South Africa has witnessed violent protests, the slow pace of housing delivery being among the grievances. Using data from the South African Attitudes Survey (SASAS), this article examines the housing trends fro...

|
This paper discusses sexual behaviour findings collected through eleven homogenous focus group discussions conducted among
women and men in a predominantly Zulu population in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The objective of this paper is to shed

Ndinda, C. (2011) Indigenous knowledge to preserve and protect. HSRC Review. 9(2):14-15.
|
The African saying, 'When an old person dies, a library burns down' epitomises the nature of indigenous knowledge, handed down orally from generation to generation and preserved in 'human databases'. CATHERINE NDINDA and colleagues examine approaches that have been used elsewhere to protect, preserve and promote indigenous knowledge and look at the implications for policy in South Africa.
