There is a lot of good eating, friendly visits and starry-eyed planning for the year ahead. Just as sleep is necessary for our body, similarly holidays are important for relaxation and change for they provide relief from the monotony of our daily routine and they are important for our mental and emotional well-being. Holidays! Holidays! Holidays who does not wait for holidays? Holidays give us a break from our routine and help us to refresh ourselves and go back to work with renewed energy however, they are not only meant for enjoying but also for pursuing our hobbies and interests. For us, holidays are also meant to recharge our batteries. The time to spread the message of love, harmony and peace is upon us and of course this is the time to be showered with gifts and wishes however above all, this is the time when the love of God The Almighty and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts, deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God. travel back in time when you read, you can live another Looking back at what transpired throughout the year, we persons’ life you can become a police detective and observe that there are many issues weighing not only on solve murders.

    1 FRONTIERS OF PROSPERITY AND POWER: EXPLAINING PROVINCIAL BOUNDARY DISPUTES IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA EDDY MAZEMBO MAVUNGU A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Studies). Johannesburg, 2011 2 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation/ thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Studies) in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any other degree or examination in any other university. Eddy Mazembo Mavungu September, 2011 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This work has benefited from the invaluable contribution of many individuals and organisations to which I would like to reiterate my profound gratitude. I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Rupert Taylor, for inspiring and guiding me throughout this research project. I am profoundly grateful for the continuous support received from Professor Sheila Meintjes. This work would not have been possible without the funding and intellectual stimulation received from these organisations: University of Peace and IDRC PhD fellowship program, the Swiss-South Africa Joint Research Program (SSAJRP), the French Institute of South Africa, and the Wits Postgraduate Merit Scholarship. Nevertheless, I am solely responsible for the analysis and conclusions drawn in the pages that follow. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to my very supportive wife Nanou Butsana and my son Bravis Mavungu. They longed to see this project come to fruition. 4 ABSTRACT Post-Apartheid South Africa has been plagued by recurrent and protracted provincial boundary disputes since the demarcation of new provinces in 1993.
