Description: Hierdie Studie het die volgende oogmerke ten doel: (l) Die identifisering van die verdeling van outoriteit tussen verskillende- gesondheidsinstellings en die uitvoerende magte vir hierdie instellings - Munisipalitiete en Administrasierade in die besonder. (2) Identifisering van die finansiele opset en ooreenkoms tussen bogenoemde instellings en plaaslike owerhede vir die lewering van gesondheidsdienste. (3) Gepaardgaande met bogenoemde, die identifisering van spesifiek waarvoor instellings en plaaslike owerhede verantwoordelikheid dra ten opsigte van die lewering van gesondheidsdienste. (4) Identifisering van kwessies wat mag ontstaan as gevolg van die gedeeltelike oordrag van dienste van die een plaaslike owerheid na ’n ander. So ’n situasie van gedeeltelike oordrag van dienste nood- saak skakeling en kooperasie om doeltreffende lewering van dienste te verseker. Hiermee saam is inligting ook ingewin oor moontlike wrywingspunte soos geartikuleer deur amptenare van beide Munisipaliteite asook Administrasierade. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Description: In this time of crucial change for all of Southern Africa - as the former colonies of Portugal struggle to become viable states, as Rhodesia totters on the brink of political change, and as South Africa girds itself for an uncertain future - the question is: “What of the potential African leaders in South Africa?” We hear of the Bantustans and their thrust forward, but what of those Africans of ability living in the urban areas whose counterparts have provided much of the leadership in other African countries? Who are they? What are their circumstances? What are they thinking? And what are they doing? The goal of this study is to suggest tentative answers through the careful and detailed study of a specific community and its potential leaders, the upper stratum. Such answers can only be approximate, of course. Community circumstances differ. Moreover, the explosive events in Soweto and elsewhere in South Africa during 1976 have altered reality, and our study was carried out during 1966-7 and 1975. The locus of research has been Grahamstown and, most particularly, the African community attached to it (see Maps 1 and 2). Situated in the eastern region of the Cape Province, Grahamstown is a city of regional importance, best known as the centre of the first large English settlement1. Arguments about its suitability for research of this nature are detailed in Appendix A, but from the researcher’s perspective its African population of 35 000+ gives it more than local significance while still being small enough to allow a thorough study. In addition, the community’s depth of contact with Europeans going back to the 1830’s, and the general importance of Grahamstown as an educational centre, imply a more sophisticated population than its size might otherwise indicate. Further, the community's nearness to the African Bantustan of the Ciskei, one of nine such “homelands” for Africans, and to the African university at Fort Hare, add to its significance. The primary group under study has been the upper stratum of the African community, as defined by the Africans themselves. From the research has evolved a series of propositions. They relate, first, to the composition of the African upper stratum and the role of its members in their own community, and, second, to the way in which their marginal position within South Africa contributes to particular attitudes and social behaviour often detrimental to the achievement of a better community.
