Western Cape

The material concerns resettlements and threatened resettlements in Western Cape with the emphasis on the Cape Peninsula.

Vigilantism

Vigilantism included the independent actions of groups with different agendas and opinions. Some was linked to third-force activities. Tensions were aggravated between groups to escalate black-on-black violence. This created divisions between liberation movements and members of communities and resulted in the deaths of political opponents. Vigilantism was also used by some traditional leaders who saw their authority being usurped. The establishment of official town councils was another catalyst and covert activities using vigilantes dealt with opposition. Vigilantism was often linked to right-wing, conservative groups and occurred in townships, villages and informal settlements across the country.
