In 1983 a random sample drawn from the larger urban communities and including 962 Blacks, 943 Indians, 789 Coloureds and 697 Whites, revealed that the majority of urban South Africans strongly favoured non-racial sport at national and club competition levels. For the first time in history, differences occurring between the attitude profile of the four main ethnic groups were non-significant. Attitudes of Whites still tended to be more conservative and have regressed since 1980/81. The attitude pattern of Blacks, Coloureds and Indians was the most homogeneous. A certain amount of ambivalence became evident between present attitudes and more positive expectations of change within the country
