Abstract
Affirmative action is neither a rejection of non-racialism, nor a sudden affirmation of Africanism within the ANC. Rather, it epitomises an ideological tension between nativity - meaning ways of thinking that are innate rather than acquired - and non-racialism that has plagued the discourse from its very inception in the nineteenth century. The author analyses the history around these opposing forces and the effect it has on the redress policy.-
