Challenge to Segregationist Town Planning: Godwin Rapando Murunga, Department of History, Northwestern University School migration is nothing new, although
up until now it is not recognised or studied systematically. However,
it is increasingly recognised that migratory movements can no longer
be defined narrowly as labour migration following the decontrolling
of migration and the subsequent dismantling of the apartheid influx
control policies (Crush and McDonald, 2000). Nor can it be defined
exclusively in relation to Africans, as has also been the case in the
past. During apartheid there was a system of highly restrictive influx
control legislation targeted at Blacks in particular that limited their
entry and residence in cities and small towns including some so-called
white areas in the so-called homelands. These restrictive boundaries
also applied in the education sector, enforced through the education
departments that were racially segmented. |
