My name is Matthew Angus - I am in my first
postgraduate year at Rhodes University in Grahamstown,
South Africa. I begun an Honours thesis in which I
intend to monitor the relocation and resettlement of a
small community at Coega, near Port Elizabeth on the
south-east coast of South Africa, who are to be moved
in June to make way for an Industrial Development Zone
which includes an asbestos plant and a deep-water
harbour.
My intention is to focus my attention on the gap
between the often good intentions enshrined in
relocation policy and the impoverishment that
nevertheless results, using the Coega example as a
case study. I would like to hear from anyone involved
in studies of development-induced displacement, as
well as anyone else who may have some interesting
ideas or experiences.
