dc.description.abstractThis paper focuses on the experiences of Kagiso, a medium-sized township on the West Rand. Kagiso was one of several major townships - Soweto and Mamelodi were others - which remained relatively 'quiescent' during 1984-85, to erupt into mass protest and violent conflict in 1985-86. An explanation of the development of township politics in Kagiso must take into account the role of regional and national organisations (in particular the UDF) and events, i.e. precisely those factors which underlie conspiratorial interpretations of ‘unrest’ in South Africa's townships. This paper seeks to explain how regional factors impacted on local township politics, contributing to the latter's transformation.en_US
