Abstract

Abstract:  In  contemporary  South  Africa  the  movement  of  black  people  within  many  homes  is  not rarely understood as an atavistic trait, to which should not be given more attention. However, despite the  non-negligible  effects  of  colonialism  and  especially  the  apartheid  regimeon  mobility,  social sciences, and more particularly anthropology, have built analyses with heuristic purposes that focused on  isolated  groups.  In  our ethnographic  experience,  the  moving  of  people -living  and  dead -among the  various  homes  has  not  been  led  only  by  a  flow  imposed  by  authoritarian  governments  and  the capital. Wandering, hosting and being a guest are foundational experiences of person transformation, being intolerance and segregation its opposite.
