Abstract
In 1986 the Urban Foundation commissioned the authors to explore the impact on rural development of political‐economic relations between South Africa and the ‘homelands’. The exercise was inevitably speculative and ranged from a historical and statistical evaluation of these relations to policy prescriptions for rural development (Nattrass & Nattrass, 1986). This article draws on some of the ideas expressed in that study and provides updated statistics where possible.
