Tenants and tenure in Durban

Organization of Civil Rights, PO Box 4787, 4000 Durban, South Africa; tel: 27 31 304 6451; fax: 27 31 301 0026.

This paper focuses on the work of one NGO, the Organization of Civic Rights, which works on a range of housing and urban renewal issues in Durban. The organization is unusual in that it has been working on issues related to tenant rights since 1984 with a particular focus on the central city areas. The paper starts with a general introduction to the situation of tenants in South Africa and then describes the four different strategies used by the organization in its work with tenants: education and empowerment for tenants, advocacy, networking and tenants' action groups.
