Welcome to the homepage of the research project "Traditional Leadership in the New South Africa". This project is carried out by Barbara Oomen, with the assistance of Patson Phala. This site is designed to keep anybody interested informed about the progress in the field research, which takes place from November 1998 to October 1999. The results of the research are expected to be published in the middle of 2001. The field research in South Africa consists of interviews with policy-makers and other stakeholders, and of three case studies. The links below lead to reports on the first two of these case-studies: Hoepakranz and Mamone. The report on Ga-Masha will follow at the end of October, after this research is completed. |
