The Effects of Conflict on the Youth of Mfuleni

The political violence that preceded the collapse of the apartheid regime in South Africa has declined dramatically since the advent of democracy. Ironically, far from the expectations of many South Africans, there has been an upsurge in the levels of violent conflicts in the communities especially in the townships. This study explores the factors that give rise to violent conflicts in South African communities with special reference to Mfuleni-a black township and how these conflicts affect the lives and development of youths in the area.
