This paper examines government intervention at Fort Hare after 1960.
The first part of the paper will examine how the Department of Bantu
Education and the new administrators of the college tried to transform
Fort Hare into an institution where students were prepared, in
terms both of skill and attitude, for a political future in the
homelands; the second part of the paper accesses the success of this
project, by examining courses of study chosen by students, their
pass rates and where graduates were employed.
