Abstract
The emergence of African involvement in industrial enterprise during the 1930s and 1940s is documented. Beacuse of competitive threats which African small-scale industry posed to state and private sector interests, there crystallized a deliberate policy of underdevelopment implemented to destroy this sphere of small-scale industrial production. Under the imperatives of a changing reform strategy of apartheid, the state reversed its former policy and began in the 1980s a programme of seeking to upgrade and promote the development of African small-scale industrial enterprise in urban areas. -from Authors
