Abstract
The paper examines recent shifts towards recommodifying state housing in South Africa. The reasons for these changes are discussed. The consequences for those who are presently state housing tenants are explored, and various approaches to the political significance of home ownership re-examined. The paper concludes by sketching the new terrain of struggle over the housing question in South African cities.Keywords
