1. Introduction
Relative deprivation describes individuals or groups perceiving that they have less than
they feel entitled to, particularly in comparison to others in their social environment. In
South Africa, profound socioeconomic disparities rooted in historical legacies manifest
in tangible deprivation and social tensions. This essay explores how income inequality,
race, spatial disparity, and health access interplay to shape relative deprivation. It also
examines the multifaceted nature of vandalism in the South African context, illustrating
its varied forms and social implications.
