Abstract
At the close of the nineteenth century the British explorer James Bryce pinpointed South Africa's primary problem: Relations of the white race to the blacks constitute the gravest of difficulties which confront South Africa (Bryce, 1899: 469). This is no less true nearly a century later, and the government harbors deep fear of a threat from within, from internal insurgency or terrorism. It is true that both the standard of living and the literacy rate of South African blacks are two to five times higher than those in any black-ruled country. Still, the most meaningful comparisons are not with Africans living in other countries and with whom the South African blacks never come in contact, but with the whites in adjacent cities whose relative prosperity is a visible, constant reminder of South African inequities.
