- Description: In the rural Xhosa-speaking parts of South Africa there is a strong tradition of youth associations or youth organisations. With a few notable exceptions, these have been neglected in the sociological and historical literature. Our understanding of rural areas, their relationship with other parts of the country, and of rural change, have suffered in consequence. The youth are at the forefront of the urban/rural interface, and at the forefront of rural change. In his analysis of the indlavini youth organisation that existed in Pondoland in the 1950s, Beinart (1991) illustrates how a study of this element of society is important for an understanding of issues such as the nature of migrant labour and worker consciousness, as well as for social change in rural areas, the politics of generation and gender, and rural protest. Our aim in this study has been to document the decline of the 'traditional' youth associations in the Shixini administrative area of Willowvale district, Transkei. By 'traditional' we mean the youth organisations as they existed in the 1960s and early 1970s, though there is evidence to suggest that there had been considerable continuity in this respect from much earlier - at least from the 1930s and 1940s (Mayer and Mayer 1972). We suggest reasons for this decline, as well as some of the consequences, and examine some of the new, alternative youth activities which have replaced the older ones. This allows us to make some comment about the changing role of youth in rural areas like Shixini, and to suggest some of the policy implications of this. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
