Just under two-thirds (60%) of participant households rely on a single income, while others rely on pensions, child grants or other state assistance. One out of five members (19%) intervewed rely on donations from other family or community members to survive. Although a slight majority of respondents were born in urban areas, nearly half (48%) were born in rural areas, reflecting a significant showing of recently urbanised landless people in the movement's urban province.
