The research examines the social and spatial transformation of Roodepoort through the proliferation of sectional title townhouse complexes. It argues that these developments are not merely neoliberal enclaves but are essential tools for 'middle-classing,' allowing young Black and white South Africans to secure privacy, respectability, and a predictable regulatory environment. The author posits that the Body Corporates governing these complexes provide a form of 'ordinary life' legality that the broader South African state has failed to deliver, creating a common social world where racial identities persist but no longer necessarily dictate antagonistic social positions.
