    Hostels in South Africa: spaces of perplexity
    (University of KwaZulu Natal Press, 2017) Xulu-Gama, Nomkhosi; Lockhart, Alison
    While the apartheid regime collapsed more than two decades ago, many of the institutions, social processes and problems that characterised that era are, in various forms, still with us today. The African National Congress (ANC) government took power in 1994 and has brought in new people, policies, plans and programmes. However, the social, economic and political problems they inherited were exceedingly complex and the international context often daunting. Likewise, the implementation of new ideas has not always been as efficient or as effective as hoped and many well-intended efforts have not turned out as expected.
