Shackdweller is a South African English term for a person who lives in an informal settlement shack — typically a home constructed from corrugated iron, timber, or other salvaged materials in a township or peri-urban area. The word is used both descriptively and politically: in activist and housing rights contexts it has been reclaimed as a term of dignity, most notably by the Abahlali baseMjondolo (shackdwellers' movement), which has become a powerful advocacy force in South Africa's ongoing housing crisis.
