Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Many different categories of people move into South Africa daily. Each category has
its defined purposes for coming here such as seeking opportunities, a better life and in
some cases a safe haven. Many South Africans have become intolerant towards
immigrants entering the country. In some cases immigrants have to endure name
calling, harassment and in more extreme circumstances violent attacks.
This study proposes to focus on intolerance in South Africa from 1990 to 2001 and
describes whether South Africans have become more intolerant towards immigrants
over this period. It therefore focuses on certain groups in the South African society
based on ethnicity, level of education and category of employment.
A quantitative method is used by means of utilising already existing statistics from the
World Value Surveys conducted in 1990, 1995 and 200l. It also takes the form of a
longitudinal study by describing xenophobic and intolerant attitudes over an elevenyear
period. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elke dag kom verskillende groepe mense na Suid-Afrika. Hulle het ook verskeie redes
waarom hulle hierheen kom. Sommige mag gelok word deur die geleenthede wat die
land hulle mag bied en ander vlug hierheen op soek na 'n veilige blyplek. Alhoewel
hulle hierheen kom vir definitiewe redes, word hulle nie deur alle Suid-Afrikaners
verwelkom nie. Hulle word dikwels die slagoffers van aanvalle en word ook gereeld
geteister.
Die doel van hierdie studie is om verdraagsaamheid in Suid-Afrika te analiseer deur
om na vreemdelingsvrees van Suid-Afrikaners teenoor immigrante te kyk. Die studie
wil die vlak van verdraagsaamheid tenoor immigrante vanaf 1990 tot 2001 beskryf.
Klem word op spesifieke groepe van Suid-Afrikaners geplaas naamlik rasse groep, die
vlak van geletterdheid so wel as werkskategorie.
Die studie gebruik dus 'n kwantitatiwe navorsingrnetode en statistieke van die World
Value Surveys wat in 1990, 1995 en 2001 gedoen is. Dit beoog om die veranderinge
in verdraagsaamheid oor 'n periode van elf jaar te beskryf.
