Summary

This report is the end product of an investigation into human relations - a matter that has become increasingly topical on a national level in South Africa. The investigation was undertaken over a period of more than four years and researchers from all parts of the country participated in it on a partnership basis. The researchers represented 15 universities, the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and several other organizations. The multidisciplinary approach employed, involved some 20 academic disciplines. The HSRC Investigation into Intergroup Relations is the third investigation to be undertaken on a co-operative basis of this nature. The preceding two large-scale co-operative research programmes were the HSRC Investigation into Education executed under the direction of Prof J.P. de Lange of the Rand Afrikaans University and the HSRC Sports Investigation executed under the direction of Prof. G.J.L. Scholtz of Potchefstroom University for CHE. these two investigations were undertaken respectively at the request of the Cabinet and the Minister of National Education. The HSRC Investigation into Intergroup Relations was, however, not initiated by a request received for such research but was launched entirely on the initiative of the HSRC.
