Description :
This paper explores the complex role of drinking in Sweet Home Farm (an informal settlement) through an examination of its contextual setting and its spatial characteristics, notably on the positioning of shebeens within an unregulated space. Through a series of case studies it is possible to reflect upon the role and impact of shebeens on people living in Sweet Home Farm, both in terms of providing space for socialisation and in supporting diverse cultures of drinking and business forms. - (AJC)
