- Description: The purpose of the study was to collect some preliminary information in advance of the inauguration of a new educational project at Fort Hare University which, under the guidance of a new Vice-Chancellor, Dr. S.M.E. Bengu, is forging for itself a new course of development as a people's University. The new project arises out of a report prepared by the International Extension College for the University of Fort Hare. The hope is that a number of innovations can be introduced into adult education in the Eastern Cape which will prove of value in meeting the needs of people living in different kinds of localities. The planning will begin in the early winter, as soon as staff have assembled, and as soon as Dr. David Warr, the international consultant to the project, is in post. It seemed sensible to conduct, in advance, one of the surveys which will be needed to underpin plans. To do this at short notice and complete it in a short time (the work did not commence until February, 1992) the best course was to rely on an experienced team from a neighbouring University, Rhodes, which had already conducted surveys in different districts within the Eastern Cape, and to bring in further support from the University of Natal , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: In recent years the number of people living in informal or 'squatter' settlements in South Africa has mushroomed and virtually every small town or city has one or more squatter settlements associated with it, often next door to the formal residential areas. Using field data collected from 1993 in two informal settlements in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa this study examines, firstly, the ways in which men and women in these communities organise their lives in their households and in the wider society. Secondly, it assesses the physical environment of informal settlements where there is a lack of service infrastructure, especially water, sewerage facilities, refuse removal and roads. Also, it was assumed that the presence of large numbers of people in an informal settlement has a deleterious effect on natural resources like the soil, wood, vegetation and water and that this may have a significant contribution to environmental pollution and degradation. This aspect was also examined. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

The collapse of the 'tribal authority' system and the rise of civic organisations
- Manona, Cecil Wele, Paper presented at an ISER Seminar, March 1995

- Description: The paper examines the performance of a local ('tribal') authority which existed in the Keiskammahoek district up to 1993 and accounts for the rise of civic organisations which challenged tribal authorities virtually everywhere in the former Ciskei. It suggests that the problems of this local authority which included inefficiency, corruption and lack of democracy were manifestations of the limitations of the Black Authorities Act of 1951 which attempted to revive traditional authority in the rural areas in south Africa even though this was incompatible with political developments in many other African states, particularly in a period during which the process of decolonisation was at its peak. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
