A development framework for Gazankulu,Institute of Development studies,RAU, 1983

This review of A development framework for Gazankulu by the Institute of Development Studies, Rand Afrikaans University, 1983, has three parts. In the first I take issue with the notion of assessing Gazankulu within a ‘national development policy’ context, and argue that doing so muddles our understanding of the problems and policy possibilities. In the second part the goals of the Framework, its data base and recommendations, are considered more directly. Having noted certain problems, the third part of this review is devoted to a more technical evaluation of what should be done.
