Abstract
The study examines the profile of Mtunzini as a recreation
town from four points of view: local whites, visiting whites,
local blacks and visiting blacks. The study searches for the
common denominators and the glaring differences of opinions
amongst those utilising the town's recreation facilities. In
so doing, the study attempts to describe the details about the
profile which, in some cases, are seen by one group but hidden
from the other groups.
This study is based on the perceptions of these four groups of
recreators towards existing recreation facilities in the town
of Mtunzini. These groups are:
- local blacks
- visiting blacks
- local whites and
- visiting whites.
The purpose of the study is to identify and explain these
perceptions in order to facilitate planning of future
recreation facilities in Mtunzini. This aim will be partially
accomplished by:
a) Taking a brief look at Africanist and Western
recreation philosophies,
b) examining the perceptions of 85 respondents and
c) examining the management policies of those managing
Mtunzini's recreation facilities at present.
