In 'South Africa: Political Violence, Reform and Reconstruction' (ROAPE 53), Morris and Hindson have sought to provide an explanation for the present political violence which goes beyond the simplistic notion of 'black on black'. They pose two fundamental questions. First, why is this violence occurring now when apartheid is in its demise rather than when it was at its peak? Second, why in a society where whites historically have dominated an oppressed blacks, are blacks killing each other? On this basis, they construct a thesis which broadly argues that the roots of violence should be sought in the effects of the disintegration of apartheid rather than its continued implementation
