Listen "'Citizens in the middle class': Dr Charlotte Lemanski"
Episode Synopsis
What's driving the housing crisis for South African middle income households?
Why aren't these middling households mobilising for housing reform?
Yet we do see collective action in the case of 'fees must fall', for higher education. What explains this discrepancy?
Charlotte, why do you think 'middle class' isn't appropriate to the South African context?
