Abstract This article explores the role of white male public officials who occupied senior positions in the Qwaqwa bantustan's public service during the rule of the Dikwankwetla Party under the leadership of Chief T. K. Mopeli, from 1975 to 1994. The core argument advanced is that the role of white men in the Qwaqwa public service had adverse consequences for local bantustan politics. As a result, the ruling Dikwankwetla Party increasingly experienced a backlash from anti-bantustan formations. The article situates the role played by these white public servants in the broader historiography of the bantustans in South Africa, and thus references other bantustans as well.

Qwaqwa 公共服务，1975-1994

摘要 本文探讨了 1975 年至 1994 年在 TK Mopeli 酋长领导下的 Dikwankwetla 党统治期间在 Qwaqwa bantustan 公共服务中担任高级职位的白人男性公职人员的作用。提出的核心论点是Qwaqwa 公共服务部门的白人男性对当地班图斯坦政治产生了不利影响。结果，执政的 Dikwankwetla 党越来越受到反班图斯坦阵营的强烈反对。这篇文章将这些白人公务员在南非班图斯坦更广泛的历史编纂中所扮演的角色定位，因此也引用了其他班图斯坦。
