dc.description.abstractThe study is a historical analysis of the development of social welfare services in the Transkei from 1968- 1983. The background idea to this study is that over the 20-year period, casual observations reveal that much has been done by way of social work service delivery but very little has been done to scientifically document the developments. The need for scientific investigation and documentation was therefore indicated. The first task was the basic definition and exposition of social welfare and related concepts like social work social policy and social administration. Theories examined included those of some Western writers especially British and American. The understanding of social welfare in the Transkei has been outlined and compared with the current western and Third World approaches. Progressive stages in the development of social welfare services from private bodies to the establishment of a state department of Social Welfare and Pensions have been reviewed. The traditional humanitarian and religious influences in the development of social welfare in the Transkei have been examined and the resultant current trends briefly outlined. Various agencies including state departments, corporations, welfare organisations and other social institutions have been focused in this regard. The training of social workers both in the Transkei, the rest of the Southern African region and overseas as an influential factor in the development of social welfare in the Transkei has been examined. In the summary, a brief review of the study has been given. The need for more intensive study emerged. Major recommendations included the following: 1. Structural : with a view to having the Transkei government not only maintain the existence of the Department of Social Welfare, but to transfer all the relevant functions like counselling and rural development to the relevant department. 2. Academic which includes a review of the academic requirements for grassroots social work practice and university staffing in such a manner that the practitioners and trainers are neither above nor below the standard requirements as recommended in the study. 3. General which include consideration of a pension scheme for labourers and deferred pay for the benefit of families left in the country by migrant labourers.en_ZA
