Abstract: The domestic strife in South Africa between ruling whites and subordinated blacks threatens to become a major conflict of violent dimensions in the African continent. This strife is primarily a consequence of racial policies promulgated by the white, apartheid regime. Donald Woods (1978) describes apartheid in South Africa as “government of the blacks, by the whites, for the whites.” Since the early 1970's, a new black movement has emerged to challenge the white regime “taking as its leitmotif the raising of black consciousness'' .
