Abstract
M.Ed. (Educational Management)
The present era is witnessing a situation where authority is
rejected and or questioned (Rossouw, 1985: 15). Van der Walt
(1980: 13) typifies' this era as a time when the new leftwing
thinking is determined to rej ect God and His word. Brezinka
(Van der Walt, 1980: 14) regards this line of thinking as an
internationally, politically mot Lvat.ed outlook which is
characterized by a deep-seated feeling of discontent with the
existing social order.
unfortunately, this type of situation has gained entry into
Black schools in the R.S.A. Presently, there is turmoil in
Black education which manifests itself in riots, intimidation,
marches, gang warfare, demonstrations, sit-ins, in-fighting,
guerilla-warfare-type of attacks and numerous other signs of
discontent (Mkhize, 1986: 1). Therefore, over more than a
decade, education for Blacks in the R.S.A. has not only been
put under the spotlight, but also greatly politicized...
