AB  - The South African apartheid government has used higher education as a tool for promoting a policy of separate development. Disturbances in black South African universities over the last decade, however, appear to be the result of both "Bantu education"policies that have spawned a "culture" that contradicts the government's ultimate aims,and circumstances external to in-class instruction that have exerted as great an influence as the official curriculum. Mokubung O. Nkomo argues that the interplay of these forces constitutes a catalyst that may contribute to the demise of the apartheid system.
