Abstract

The volatile situation in Vuwani warranted an empirical investigation because it presents complexity in a democratic dispensation in which legal process outcomes do not conform to community expectations. To conduct this empirical study, it was prudent to first interrogate the literature on the history, politics of demarcation and participation as well as psychosocial dynamics of conflicts and service delivery concerns.
