Abstract:	This article goes beyond the stereotype of Buthelezi as either a combatant or collaborator of the white state. It considers what social forces In-katha represents, for only by so doing is it possible to provide a measured assessment of its significance and its potential role within the rapidly changing context of apartheid. Sections: the origins and development of Inkatha - Inkatha's populist strategy - Inkatha's move to the right. Notes.
