There are already pioneers out there finding new ways to live. If we build a network of these villages across the country, we can empower people all over the country to take care of themselves and live more fulfilling lives than the endless pursuit of money and debt ... and traffic! Did you know there are even groups of migrant forest dwellers in South Africa that live in teepees and in total harmony with nature? You won't find them on any website though... The point is, we don't have to live in crazy complexes like sheep stuck in "the system", there are alternatives.
These people live organic lives in tune with nature. I don't know of any actual active intentional communities in SA yet, if you do, please let me know.
