Summary/Abstract: The investigation responds to the low ebb in racial property ownership desegregation discourse in South Africa. The paper provides a review of recent desegregation studies in South Africa and its empirical reflection in the secondary city of Bloemfontein. The investigation supports current discourses focused on desegregation of residential property ownership in urban South Africa. Drawing on the Bloemfontein experience, it is demonstrated that significant progress has been made in this type of desegregation.
