520    South Africa is an example of a relatively successful 
       political transition. Nevertheless, the first democratic 
       elections in 1994 did not change the systemic and 
       structural inequalities, the socioeconomic legacies of 
       discrimination or the alienation of the different 
       population groups. At the centre of this study is the 
       transformation potential of two formerly white 
       neighbourhoods in Johannesburg - Norwood and Orange Grove.
       Both neighbourhoods have experienced considerable 
       demographic changes and the various population groups 
       differ in terms of their expectations and their 
       willingness to adjust to the changes provoked by the 
       transition. At the local level, patterns of discrimination
       and oppression continue. Spaces, opportunities and 
       leverage of social networks engaged in the community are 
       influenced by the resources people are able to access. 
       Moreover, cooperation is contested in a context of 
       pervasive inequality because there is no incentive for 
       privileged groups to change arrangements that benefit 
       them. In this context of conflicting interests and unequal
       access to power and resources, decentralisation and the 
       promotion of participatory structures in local communities
       are a problem and the reliance on local networks as agents
       of development is questionable.
