Opening the working conference entitled ‘Towards Comprehesive Development in Zululand’, which was held in Durban, from 9–11 February 1972, Chief Gatsha Buthelezi, Chief Executive Officer of the Zulu Territorial Authority, told the 100 delegates that the subject of their discussions was more correctly called KwaZulu. And the map specially prepared by Alan Best (Boston) reminded them that this comprised at present no fewer than 29 areas scattered through the length and breadth of Natal, see p. 302. ‘These ghetto areas’, said the Chief, ‘are overdue for some attention whether one wants to see them as part of the rest of South Africa or as independent states.’
