(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.
