Abstract
Abstract South Africa is characterized by a variety of family forms but nuclear families, multigenerational households, and absent biological fathers are commonly found. This variety of family forms is associated with a complex racial history that still affects South African families in the early twenty‐first century. Even though there is legal scope in South Africa for a variety of family forms, intolerance of alternative family forms is commonly found in practice. Poverty, HIV/AIDS, and domestic violence are widespread problems that many South African families have to face on a daily basis. Despite such widespread problems, a strong activist element runs though the fabric of South African society, as can be observed in feminist thinking and marches designed to change society to accommodate alternative family forms.
