Economic activities are lacking in many townships around South Africa. The newly
developed Reconstruction and Development Programme townships are also facing the
problem of encouraging economic activities. These townships are always criticized for
being overcrowded by the people who are unable to support economic activities because
of lack of capacity to be employed. This study adopted assets pentagon method to find
the assets which the people have in the township which they can use to support and
encourage economic activities in the area. Assets Pentagon method includes social and
political capital, human capital, physical capital, financial capital and natural capital. The
availability of these assets in the township will be vital to encourage and support
economic activities
