Organizing on the Streets: A Study of Reclaimers in the Streets of Cape Town
A summary based on the report by Koni Benson & Nandi Vanqa-Mgijima, International Labour Research & Information Group (ILRIG)
In late 2009, a group of researchers contracted by WIEGO conducted a study to learn more about the people who work as reclaimers in Cape Town. The
researchers wanted to find out the following things:
- where reclaimers worked
- who worked as reclaimers
- why and how they worked
- how they saw their work
- challenges they faced
- how the recycling industry treated them.
