Abstract
The aims of the study are to examine residential patterns in Empangeni and Esikhawini in order to see: ( i) Whether residential patterns are influenced by (or other result of) the socio-economic status and racial composition of the inhabitants of the towns. (ii) Whether they resulted from apartheid planning. Empangeni provides residences for whites while Esikhawini caters for Blacks. During 1988 a White man moved into the latter settlement in which he is prohibited , many Black workers reside temporarily at Empangeni. The two towns then reflects the racial nature of apartheid.
