- W2137516723 abstract "ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The economic policy of the South African government referred to as the Growth Employmentand Redistribution Strategy (GEAR) has had a crippling impact on millions of poor and lowincomefamilies in South Africa since its adoption in 1996. The benefits to the minority havenot compensated for the increased inequality, uncertainty and poverty that others haveexperienced (McDonald & Pape, 2002:24).South Africa became the first African state to develop and implement a structural adjustmentprogramme by voluntarily seeking the assistance of the World Bank and the IMF (Bond,2000a:35). The government’s own statistics reveal that unemployment, which was alreadyhigh, reached catastrophic levels since 1996 and the poor became significantly poorer(Beuchler, 2002:04). Together with their community leadership, poor people increasinglymanaged to articulate the link between the increased poverty and hardships they experienceand the state’s macro-economic policies.More than a decade into democracy, Mandela Park finds itself under armed assault by theState. Several community members have sacrificed their lives while fighting revolutionarystruggles to ensure access to basic services and to remain in the places apartheid confinedthem. None of them ever thought that the hopes and dreams they harboured while fighting fordemocracy would be so brutally suppressed by the very government for which they sacrificedtheir lives.Community organizations such as the Mandela Park Anti-Eviction Campaign (MPAEC) makesignificant contributions to community empowerment by mobilizing and articulating thevoices of the poor and the vulnerable groups in the society to resist the State’s hegemony withregards to service cut-offs and household evictions.%%%%AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ekonomiese beleid van die Suid Afrikaanse regering wat bekend staan as GEAR het nkreupelende uitwerking op miljoene arme en lae-inkomste gesinne in Suid Afrika gehad veralsedert die program in 1996 deur die regering aanvaar is. Die voordele aan ‘n enkeleminderheid het nie vergoed vir die toenemde ongelykhede, onsekerhede en armoede watandere ondervind het nie (McDonald & Pape, 2002:24).Suid Afrika het die eerste Afrika staat geword om n strukturele aanpassingsprogram teontwikkel en te implementeer deur vrywilliglik die hulp van die Wereld Bank en dieInternasionale Monitere Fonds te soek (Bond, 2000a:35).Soos die regering se eie statistieke aandui, het werkloosheid wat alreeds hoog is, katastrofiesevlakke bereik terwyl die land se armes merkwaardig armer geword het (Beuchler,2002:04).Arm mense het tesame met hul gemeenskapleiers toenemend daarin geslaag om dieverband tussen hul groeinde armoede en swaarhede, en die regering se makro-ekonomiesebeleid te identifiseer.Nou, na meer as ‘n dekade in demokrasie, bevind Mandela Park inwoners hulself ondergewapende aanval deur die staat. Gemeenskapslede het revolusionere gevegte gestry en hullewens op die spel geplaas om toegang tot basiese dienste te…" @default.
