Acknowledgements The research on which the case study is based was carried out as a collaborative project with Colin Murray and Rachel Slater, of the University of Manchester, under the title Multiple Livelihoods and Social Change , funded by the UK Department for International Development. The project involved comparative research on poverty, livelihoods and social differentiation in North West Province and the Free State, South Africa.
This is an important first step in disaggregating “the poor”, though it is also essential to recognise that there are many different ways of becoming, and remaining chronically poor and that an analysis which makes sense in one context, or for one group of people, will not work for another (du Toit, 2005b).
