ABSTRACT
The impact of the outset apartheid policy was too deep rooted to be eradicated within a short time by the new South African government. It is evident that Khayelitsha was politically planned in order to keep the black population of the Western Cape apart from white residential areas. Social anomie in South Africa emerged from a situation where community-related norms, goals and structures were imposed from outside. The township of Khayelitsha has an estimated population of approximately 500,000 inhabitants and began to be settled in 1983. In industrial and in developing countries, education is seen as one of the key factors for prosperous individual and social development. In the South African context, the following factors could be jointly responsible for the high amount of aggression being experienced in schools: during the apartheid era schools had been experienced by the majority of black pupils as a symbol of an oppressive regime.
