Abstract:	This paper seeks to explore dimensions of variation in Matatiele district which spans the Transkei/East Griqualand border and the Qwaqwa district of the North-East Free State with respect to micro-level factors which render people more or less vulnerable to impoverishment. First it examines variation along these lines between the two districts; secondly it examines some of the causes and results of variation within given regions.
