Inaccessibility
|
The majority of people living in Soweto is even today still largely
dependant on public transport and unless a project is located on a major
route, it is very difficult for the majority of people to get to it.
|
|
Single-purpose
|
Due to unemployment, the community seeks value for money and it is
not offered to them in any single-purpose facility, implying that they
have to travel to various facilities in order to satisfy the needs of the
family unit.

Marketing
|
Marketing remains a huge factor in the failure of other projects
|
|
Community Support
|
Many projects have been perceived by the community as being enforced
on them, this causes resentment and results in the community not supporting
it. This is probably the biggest single reason for failure of projects.

|
Located in no-man’s land
|
A project should be located within the ommunity it is supposed to serve
and once it is perceived to be located in no-mans land, with no proper
infrastructure surrounding it, such as transport routes, it is doomed to
failure
