This fourth volume in the Hidden Voices Series is about Oukasie, a
township in the Madibeng municipality. At various times in its
history, its inhabitants have struggled against problems such as
forced removals, terrible living conditions and corrupt officials.
Bonds of Justice: The Struggle for Oukasie tells the story of a
dedicated young group of people who were motivated by their belief
that accountable and responsible leadership was needed to improve
the situation of their community and its members. Before and after
apartheid, they worked together to bring much-needed change to
their community. This book tells the stories of those struggles in
the 1980s and 1990s, and goes on to describe the problems faced by
Oukasie and the wider community when the ethics of accountability
were forgotten.
The book has many lessons for South Africa today – the benefits
that accountable governance can achieve, and what the costs are
when a more selfish approach takes root.
