Abstract

This study aims to investigate, unearth and curb the problem of racial divisions amongst the different ethnic groups in South Africa. These racial differences continue to harm and destroy the social aspect and integrity of our rainbow nation, South Africa. According to Lentsoane (1992:5), societal norms and values can divide nations as one nation may not want cross­ cultural, inter-racial or international marriages to take place in it. Individuals in society would, therefore, be compelled to live within the parameters of societal norms and values. Defiance of these norms and values can result in being cast out or banished from one's own nation.

Because of the broad nature of this research topic, the present researcher has decided to narrow it down and only focus on domestic issues of marriage. An example of such issues is a situation wherein a young man or woman is prohibited from taking someone from a different clan as a wife or husband by elders in the household or clan.
