2. Informal Settlements According the “2001 Census Concepts and Definitions”, informal settlements or ‘squatter camps’ occur on land which has not been surveyed or proclaimed as residential, and the structures are usually informal. They are usually found on the outskirts of towns or in pockets of ‘infill’ inside towns, or along railways and roads. Some informal areas are also found in tribal areas (e.g. in Mpumalanga) and in townships.
