dc.description.abstractThe paper focuses on resistance to the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) plans for South Durban. Although the Basin’s residents include many people (mostly black) with employment and commercial links to shipping, freight and petrochemical industries, the extra pollution in this toxic-saturated ‘armpit of Africa’ has over the past decade catalyzed extraordinary resistance. Activists argue that increasing investments of the state in the shipping industry do not make economic sense. Though this status quo strategy is destructive to economy, society, polity and ecology, the vast damage done by coal and petroleum to local and global ecologies was not acknowledged in Planning Commission, Transnet or municipal documents.en
