THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY OF SOUTH AFRICA: PROGRESS BEYOND APARTHEID CHRISTIAN M. ROGERSON Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Private Bag 3, PO WITS 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2000; revised June 2000 THE CONTEXT FOR WRITING NEW GEOGRAPHIES The early years of post-apartheid South Africa have been full of much expectation, an array of new policy developments and considerable economic and social change. Since the dramatic shift in 1994 to democracy, with the successful holding of the country's first multiracial elections, a succession of policy documents has been released by the national Government in the form of Green Papers and White Papers, which seek to chart directions for informing and re-moulding the course of the `new' South Africa. Among many new policy frameworks, the most influential has been that of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), which was designed as a basis for integrated and coherent socio-economic progress towards erasing the legacy of apartheid and the building of a democratic, non-racial and non-sexist future (Bond & Khosa 1999). Another critical policy foundation is furnished by South Africa's controversial new macro-economic strategy, the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) plan which is to provide the economic underpinning for the RDP. For geographers the task of interpreting economic and social change in post-apartheid South Africa has been immensely challenging. The intellectual terrain has markedly altered as new policy White Papers and subsequent legislation have been informed by best practice international experience concerning inter alia housing, urban policy, rural development, water, disasters, the environment, transport and many others. In many respects the core policy issues surrounding reconstruction and development in post-apartheid South Africa parallel those of many other countries, particularly in the developing world. Accordingly, as has been observed elsewhere: `It is evident that South African society and economy can no longer be pigeonholed as a special case of interest to a group of scholars with specialist interests in racism or the construction and destruction of apartheid' (Rogerson & Robinson 1999). The period since 1994 has witnessed a burst of new writings on aspects of the new (and old) geographies of post-apartheid South Africa. In reviewing these writings on the changing economic and social landscape of South Africa it is evident that while an increasing amount of South African geographical scholarship is finding its way into international serials or edited book collections, the largest volume of material undoubtedly continues to be found in a series of journals that are both published and/or edited within South Africa. Two critical sources of particular importance for tracking spatial change in contemporary South Africa are the South African Geographical Journal, the flagship of the Society for South African Geographers (Van der Merwe 1996), and Urban Forum, a multi-disciplinary journal published by the Witwatersrand University Press. Other important local publication outlets for geographical material relating to economic and social change are Africa Insight, published by the Africa Institute, Pretoria, and Development Southern Africa, the journal that is edited from the Development Bank of Southern Africa. In addition to these journal sources, Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie ± 2000, Vol. 91, No. 4, pp. 335±346. # 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG Published by Blackwell Publishers, 108 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1JF, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden MA 02148, USA 336 also of note is the appearance since 1994 of several important books that address dimensions of the unfolding economic and social geography of post-apartheid South Africa (Lemon 1995; Robinson 1995; Simon 1998; Bond & Khosa 1999; Fox & Rowntree 2000; McDonald 2000a). Collectively the new body of writings post1994 reflects a welcome and increasingly nuanced engagement of local scholarship with contemporary international theoretical debates taking place in economic and social geography concerning post-modernism, spatiality, identity, sexual politics and so on (Robinson 1995, 1996; Archer & Dodson 1997; Lupton & Mather 1997; Dirsuweit 1999a; McEwan 2000). In addition, other interrelated strands of research are focused more squarely on sets of issues surrounding the detailed shifts occurring in constructing the economic and social landscape of contemporary South Africa. In analysing the economic and social geography in post-apartheid South Africa, it is useful to present the existing key themes of research which seek to address features of national change, rural change and urban change within the new democracy. Each of these themes is examined in turn to document and illustrate the progress taking place in geographical scholarship beyond apartheid. NATIONAL CHANGE In addressing research issues that relate to the national level of geographical change in postapartheid South Africa at least four key clusters of research may be identified. First, is a series of research studies that attempt to understand: 1. Uneven geographical patterns of development and the changing space economy. 2. New population dynamics, in particular new migration movements to South Africa. 3. The workings of new government policies for augmenting the asset base of South Africa's poorer communities. 4. New regional configurations in the postapartheid period. Issues surrounding patterns of economic development, spatial economic change and # 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG CHRISTIAN M. ROGERSON the evolving space economy have been the focus of a number of important research investigations. Bond (1998a) urges that the economic and geographical history of South Africa is strewn with extraordinary instances that link financial ascendance with uneven geographical development. In an important and challenging article McCarthy (1999) argues that the appearance of new driving forces for economic and spatial change, in the form of service-led (including tourism) growth and knowledge-based economic activities is set to potentially reconfigure the directions of the space economy. In particular, it is suggested that the historical dominance of the Gauteng agglomeration, centred on Johannesburg and Pretoria, may potentially be threatened by a new shift in economic gravity towards the coastal cities. The veracity of this viewpoint has come under fire, however, from other works that suggest that major spatial change is likely to be, at best, glacial, especially in view of the continuing strength and dominance of the Gauteng agglomeration in respect of many key economic sectors, including manufacturing, decision-making, high technology and the information-technology sector (Rogerson 1996a, 1998a, 2000a, 2000b). Other aspects of spatial economic change have centred on the prospects for individual economic sectors, such as jewellery (Da Silva 1999a, 1999b), the transformation of the tourism industry from its dominance by white ownership (Goudie et al., 1999) and of the national importance of what in South Africa is called the small, medium and micro-enterprise economy (Nobanda 1998; Rogerson 1998b, 1999a, 2000c; Kesper, 1999). The abandonment of apartheid inspired programmes for regional policy linked to industrial decentralisation, and the development of the former Homelands has brought forth new forces of, and policy contexts for, spatial change (May & Rogerson 2000; Phalatse 2000). The implementation of Spatial Development Initiatives is becoming a critical feature in the planning for reconstruction in post-apartheid South (and Southern) Africa. The SDI programme marks a fundamental break with the trajectories and initiatives for economic and spatial planning of the apartheid past and seeks to contribute towards the THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY OF SOUTH AFRICA restructuring of the apartheid space economy (Rogerson 1998c, 1998d, 1999b, 2001). Another vital impetus for patterns of spatial change is the role of new local economic development initiatives, which have attracted a large number of investigations both in urban and rural areas of contemporary South Africa (Nel 1994, 1995, 1997; Nel & Hill 1996; Centre for Development and Enterprise 1996a, 1996b, 1998a; Nel et al. 1997; Rogerson 1997a, 1999c; Maharaj & Ramballi 1998; Nel & Humphrys 1999). The new population dynamics of postapartheid South Africa have been a critical focus for analysis. The results of South Africa's 1996 census suggest that of the total population of 40.6 million, the urban areas have a population share of 55% as compared to the 45% share living in rural areas. The internal demographics of population change, including debates around the stabilisation of migrant labour regimes, continue to be themes of research significance (Horn 1997; McCarthy & Hindson 1997; Crush & Soutter 1999; Crush et al. 1999). Nevertheless, the greatest volume of new writings has been focused on questions concerning international migration. Under the sponsorship of the Southern African Migration Project, there has occurred a burst of writings that critically examines migration policy in the new South Africa, the patterns of new migration flows, gender issues, and the conditions shaping their migratory patterns (Crush 1997, 1999a, 1999b; Crush & Williams 1999; McDonald, 1999, 2000a; Crush & McDonald 2000; Dodson 2000). Other writings on immigration have confirmed the importance of undocumented migrants, both in South Africa's cities and in the countryside (Maharaj & Rajkumar 1997; Holness et al. 1999; Crush et al. 2000). Assessments of the progress made in the delivery of aspects of the Reconstruction and Development programme have been a focus of considerable controversy and debate. An important geographical body of research has contributed towards debates concerning the pace and directions of the delivery of certain key commitments that were made to the poor as regards housing, water, sanitation and other services (Goldblatt 1996, 1997, 1999; Bond 1998b, 1998c, 1999; Bond & Khosa 1999; Bakker & Hemson 2000; Bond et al. 2000; 337 May et al. 2000). Many of the writings have been highly critical of the slow pace of the delivery of shelter (Marais & Krige 1997, 1998), even going so far in one case as to proclaim `the failure of housing policy' (Bond & Tait 1997) and of other services delivery programmes to South Africa's poor (Bond 1998b, 1999; Bond & Khosa 1999; Khosa 2000). Another dimension of assistance to the poor that has come under critical scrutiny is the introduction of public works programmes (Khosa 1998). Against the critical backcloth of some of the disappointments associated with the RDP delivery, some writers have pointed to lessons that might be drawn from the comparative experience of housing or service delivery in other countries (Rogerson 1996b; Gilbert 2000). Finally, at national level, the making of the new South Africa has been associated with the shaping of new political boundaries and of new international relations both in Southern Africa and the wider international community. The process of delimitation surrounding South Africa's new provincial delimitation has been tracked in a number of useful studies that stress the contestation of the new regionalism (Muthien & Khosa 1995; Khosa & Muthien 1997). The fundamental transformations surrounding the integration of South Africa into the wider Southern African region (Khosa 1997; Gibb 1998) and broader international networks (Rogerson 1998e; Simon 1998), as well as new directions for foreign policy have been further issues of concern (Lemon 1996a; 2000). RURAL CHANGE The central research themes in geographical writings around the South African countryside surround key issues of land reform, displaced urbanisation, poverty alleviation and agricultural development. Indeed, the critical importance of poverty and the search for sustainable livelihoods is a common thread that runs through much of the literature in South African rural geographical studies in the post-apartheid period (Mather 1996a; Ndlovu & Fairhurst 1996; Fairhurst & Mashaba 1997; Fox & Nel 1999; Makhanya & Ngidi 1999; May et al. 2000) # 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG 338 As Lemon (1998) argues, the programme of land reform is one of most crucial aspects of changing the face of the South African countryside. The progress of land reform and of associated programmes for land restitution has been an important focus of recent research (Lemon 1998; Kekana 1999; Fox & Rowntree 2000). As with the RDP delivery process, much criticism has centred on the slow pace of the land reform process and of the return to the land of communities formerly dispossessed in the apartheid period (Lemon 1998; Philander 1998). Once again, geographers have pointed to important lessons that South African policy-makers may learn from the process of land reform that has been undertaken in other countries (Christopher 1996). With the recent progress in land claims and restitution, an important new research agenda has been the return to the land of several communities and of the post-land reform process, including initiatives for community-led local economic development (Philander 1998). Another of the legacies of apartheid is the group of communities that was established often in remote rural areas as a result of the programmes of apartheid-forced population removals. The enormous complexities of dealing with the fact that 10% of South Africa's population (four million people) live in settlements that are `displaced urban areas' have been disclosed in recent geographical investigations (Centre for Development and Enterprise 1998b; Meth 2000). Several of the questions of rural poverty alleviation are dealt with in the national literatures that focus on service delivery (Bond & Khosa 1999; May et al. 2000). Outside of vibrant debates concerning the development of sustainable agriculture (Mather 1996b), the critical theme of rural local economic development is once more in evidence in geographical writings. Geographers have documented several important examples of relatively successful community-led and NGO-led initiatives (Nel 1995, 1997; Nel & Hill 1996; Nel et al. 1997). The need for such initiatives is particularly urgent in those parts of rural South Africa where de-industrialisation processes have been observed as a result of the phasing-out of industrial incentives in former Bantustan locales (Phalatse 2000) and of changing legis# 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG CHRISTIAN M. ROGERSON lation concerning casino licensing which have removed the former privileged position of the former Bantustans (Rogerson 1998e). The importance of providing a facilitative policy support environment for the growth of rural non-farm enterprises has been stressed in certain investigations (Rogerson 1998f, 1999d) and the potential for periodic markets to be a development vehicle in rural South Africa has also been examined (Rogerson 1997b; Fox & Nel 1999). Beyond these studies there is another rural research stream that focuses on issues of changing agricultural development and commercialised farm practices. Attention should be drawn to a significant body of literature that centres on shifts taking place in the farm labour force that is linked to commercial agriculture (Ulicki & Crush 2000; Crush et al. 2000). Of particular importance is the growing use of international migrants in areas of borderlands agriculture in rural South Africa. Other writings debate the impact of the introduction of South Africa's GEAR strategy on commercial farming (Mather & Adelzadeh 1998) and of the organisation and restructuring of South Africa's export agriculture applying the theoretical lens of agro-commodity chains (Mather 1999). Indeed, in a rich study, the filiere framework is deployed to show how a global player that until recently controlled all South African citrus exports ± Outspan International ± has responded to the local reregulation of agricultural markets. URBAN CHANGE As Lemon (1996b, 1998) stresses, urban apartheid represented an ambitious recasting of South African social geography. Mapping out and interpreting the (sometimes) dramatic changes taking place in the South African urban landscape has been a major research focus for geographers since the 1994 democratic transition. Indeed, the volume of published material and the range of issues addressed is testimony to the critical importance of the `urban' in the making of the new South Africa. Two rich and yet different overviews of research themes in South African urban scholarship are furnished by Parnell (1996) THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY OF SOUTH AFRICA and Donaldson & Van der Merwe (2000). Parnell (1996) draws attention to the renaissance of urban studies in the 1990s and seeks to understand the complexities of the local cityscape by challenging what is seen as the `theoretical ghetto' of existing scholarship. In particular, Parnell (1996) profoundly attacks the notion that the South African urban experience has been so profoundly distorted by racist policies and interventions that the apartheid city could only be understood as a `unique' urban form. Instead, it is demonstrated that a range of theoretical perspectives often reserved for consideration of cities in advanced capitalist societies can be used to provide the foundations for interpreting the South African city. This important contribution in South African urban studies provides a basis for local scholarship to be integrated into international urban debates, more than simply as a special case. Policy-related issues of transformation from apartheid to post-apartheid city form the core of the review undertaken by Donaldson & Van Der Merwe (2000). These authors focus on the question of South Africa's divided or segregated cities, and of the pertinent spatial and policy challenges that surround the restructuring, reconstructing and integrating of the urban landscape in transition. The theme of the historical shaping of the socio-spatial geography of South African cities continues to attract research attention, with the appearance of a stream of studies that build on a tradition of work in the pre-1994 period (Maharaj 1994, 1995, 1997). The restructuring of the apartheid city with its characteristics of residential segregation, buffer zones between races, peripheralisation of the black population and extended distances between place of residence and work has been the continued focus of research in several South African cities (Lemon 1996b; Tomlinson & Krige 1997; Khan & Maharaj 1998; Krige 1998; Saff 1999; Donaldson & Van der Merwe 1999, 2000; Bremner 2000). The inner-cities of South Africa's major metropolitan centres have been focal points for considerable social and spatial change (Crankshaw & White 1995; Rogerson 1995; Morris 1997, 1999). A theme that has garnered considerable attention is that of housing conditions of the poor and of 339 associated issues surrounding the making and upgrading of informal settlements that have mushroomed around South Africa's cities (Seethal 1996; Dewar 1997; Marais & Krige 1998; Stevens & Rule 1999). Important questions have been posed concerning the specific shelter conditions and conflicts surrounding South Africa's immigrant and refugee communities, particularly from other parts of Africa (McDonald 1998, 2000b; Dodson & Oelofse 2000; Peberdy & Majodina 2000). Other issues that geographers of urban change have focused on include the shaping of the local state (Lemon 1996c; Maharaj 1996; Robinson 1996), urban land restitution (Parnell & Beavon 1996), interpreting the black urban experience (MacPhail 1997), addressing poverty in the cities (Rogerson 1998g; Beall et al. 2000) and, the importance of planning for a sustainable city and sustainable urban environments (Vogel 1996; PrestonWhyte 1997). The initial assessments on the policy record and performance of the new governments, national, provincial and local, are not promising. It is suggested that the gaps between the worlds of the townships, the inner-cities and the suburbs are widening and that the possibilities for developing a sense of shared space and shared urban destiny `grow slimmer by the day' (Donaldson & Van der Merwe 2000, p. 53). Moreover, as Bremner (2000, p. 87) concludes, the observed blurring of the apartheid city can `be attributed more to market forces, the pressures of rapid urbanisation and upward black mobility, than to design or administrative intent'. Most damning of all is the conclusion that as yet `Few efforts of the newly elected governments in the country can be said to have set in place policies or practices which have challenged apartheid geography or have come to terms with the changing social patterns of post-apartheid South African cities' (Bremner 2000, p. 87). Alongside the socio-spatial restructuring of the South African city there is the linked process of economic restructuring. The postapartheid transition has witnessed the acceleration of certain trends that were already in evidence prior to 1994. The most important of these trends are the decentralisation of manufacturing and service activities from core # 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG 340 inner-city areas (Rogerson 1995; Rogerson & Rogerson 1995, 1997a, 1999) and their replacement by a new economy of informal enterprise, SMMEs and the growth of immigrant-owned enterprises (Rogerson 1996c 1997c, 2000d; Rogerson & Rogerson 1997b; Peberdy & Crush 1998; Holness et al. 1999; Kesper 1999; Maharaj & Moodley 2000; Peberdy & Rogerson 2000). Considerable changes are in evidence in the industrial and commercial property markets of major South African cities (Rogerson 1996, 1997). New strategies for urban regeneration have been an important focus of economic change research, including waterfront redevelopments (Kilian & Dodson 1995, 1996; Grant & Kohler 1996), cultural strategies for economic growth (Dirsuweit 1999b), physical renewal initiatives (Khosa & Naidoo 1998), and the impact on Cape Town of its failed 2004 Olympic bid (Padayachee 1997). Finally, new policy shifts towards the potential for urban farming to be incorporated as part of the economy of the post-apartheid city have fallen under critical scrutiny (May & Rogerson 1995; Rogerson 1998h; Webb 1998). A CONCLUSION THAT IS AN INTRODUCTION It is clear from this review that the community of geographers has sought to address the challenges of a changing post-apartheid South Africa in terms of unpacking the process of transition presently taking place. More especially, geographers have sought to discern the essential continuities and discontinuities in the new geographies being made in modern South Africa as a product of the slow unravelling of apartheid (Rogerson & Robinson 1999). On the one hand, certain of the new policy interventions and changes introduced since 1994 are impelling the formation of new geographies as rapid economic and social change processes are set in motion. On the other hand, there are other marked continuities with the apartheid period as many of the economic and social processes that shaped South Africa's economy, cities, rural landscapes and social relations under apartheid continue to mould the directions of contemporary economy and society. # 2000 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG CHRISTIAN M. ROGERSON The papers in this special issue of Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie seek to further extend our understanding of the shifting geography of post-apartheid South Africa. The papers are linked to core themes that emerged in the agenda of post-apartheid South African geographical writings. Together the group of papers presented here afford further insights into critical aspects of the directions of national change, as well as specific issues of urban and rural change. The papers highlight sets of both continuities and discontinuities in economic and social change affecting the spatial order of the `new' South Africa. Furthermore, they point to the diverse nature of transition in South Africa and of the importance of applying different theoretical lens (Oldfield & Robinson 2000). Above all, perhaps, they collectively signal that South African geography is beginning to close the door on an era of parochialism (Parnell 1996), borne out of international isolation and a focus on the `uniqueness' of apartheid geographies, and is instead entering a period of engagement with the international geographical community on common issues rather than the specificities of an apartheid past.
