By tracing the long roots of conflicts in the Umzinto district it illustrates that tensions brewed for long periods of time before they deteriorated into violence, and that violence was often the last resort, chosen when people had explored and exhausted all avenues for the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Careful examination of the political and economic contexts in which tensions surfaced and degenerated into violence also reveals that there were non-African players who contributed to the outbreak of violent conflicts.Item Land, officials, chiefs and commoners in the izimpi zemibango in the Umlazi Location of the Pinetown District in the context of Natal’s changing political economy, 1920 to 1936.(1998) Sithole, Dennis Jabulani.; Nuttall, Timothy Andrew.Abstract available in PDF.
