Abstract
M.A. (Development Studies)
Resolving conflict in South Africa is one of the greatest
challenges facing the country, in addition to being a basic
prerequisite to creating a political and economic climate
conducive to development. The continued violence between
the ANC and the IFP, has been one of the main components of
conflict in this country. It can be argued that the
resolution of this particular conflict would be synonymous
to having brought relative peace to South Africa I while
simultaneously serving as a model for dealing with future
conflict. It is the objective of this study to investigate
the origins, characteristics and magnitude of the ANC/IFP
conflict, thereby serving to create a basis for
understanding and managing the conflict.
Once clarity is achieved in this regard, the study will
focus on the impact which conflict can have on development,
with special reference to the KwaZulu/Natal region...
