, Mr and Mrs Morake are living in one of the suburbs
of Polokwane. The suburb is in an old part of the
city, and many immigrants are moving into the
neighbourhood. Because of the immigrants who are
moving into the area, the community experiences
discord, conflict, poor co-operation between
community members and want the government to
address their problems. The Morake couple have
been married for 35 years and have two sons, Gift,
who lives in Cape Town and Thabo, who is 30 years
old and lives with them. Thabo has a cognitive and
learning disability. Mrs Morake gave up her work as
a nurse when Thabo was 16 years of age to support
him. Mr Morake retired three years ago as a teacher.
Thabo volunteers at a local charity a few days a
week, helping with teas and coffees. Thabo receives
a disability grant for the government. He would like
to live independently. Mr and Mrs Morake are
worried this won’t work. Thabo is well known in the
local community because he likes to hang out in the
local café playing games and chat to friends. He is
also known to the police due to a few incidents
