We worked to understand and find examples of inequality in South Africa.

Our project has a Western and privileged perspective, as the whole group is White. We

tried to not let this influence our research.

Apartheid (Differentness) is legislation that enforced segregation of races

within South Africa.

Legal framework

Recent years more attention from the government but there is no single regulatory framework that governs social enterprise in South Africa. There are several laws that affect the registrations and obligations of

Collaboration and support are key to

break the vicious cycle

Lack of access to quality facilities
