dc.subject	This thesis examines how water and sanitation inequalities shape daily life in Langa, Cape Town, using feminist political ecology, intersectionality, and infrastructural citizenship. Based on 23 interviews, observations, and documents, it finds formal housing has in-house services, while informal areas rely on unsafe communal systems. Residents cope via informal connections, storage, and sharing—often feminized labor—while grassroots action remains localized, hindered by tensions and insecurity.
