by Transvaal/Gauteng provincial region observatory (GCRO).
Its ceo Professor David Everatt said some 25,000 people were questioned about the 'satisfaction levels with governance' in the province.
2014-08-14 - The GCRO, a partnership between the University of Johannesburg, the University of the Witwatersrand, the Gauteng government, and the SA Local Government Association,
conducted a study with over 25,000 people to gauge satisfaction levels with governance in Gauteng province.
At least 60 respondents per ward were sampled in each metropolitan municipality and 30 per ward in local municipalities.
The number of black-Africans saying they would 'never trust whites' increased from 68% in 2009 to 73% in 2013.
Over the same period, the perception by whites had increased from 40% in 2009 to 44% in 2013.
Coloureds and Indians also agreed - fifty five percent of Indians and 61% of coloureds.
Everatt said the notion (that blacks and whites would never trust each other) was held deeply in the "older" townships.
The study found that in those townships, 77% to 100% of the respondents believed that blacks and whites would never trust each other. Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Mabopane in Tshwane, Alexandra, Soweto in Johannesburg, Khutsong in the West Rand, Thokoza, Tsakane and Tembisa on the East Rand, along with Sebokeng in the Vaal.
The study also looked at the roles played by the different "race groups" in building and benefiting from the resources of the country.
Among the issues looked at was the role played by coloured people in building a new South Africa.
Forty five percent of black-Africans did not believe coloureds were helping while 33% agreed and 22% were neutral.
The number was increased from the 2011 survey which was at 35% disagreeing and 29% being neutral while 36% agreed with the notion.
Coloured respondents agreed. The number increased from the 2011 survey with 68% saying yes. At least 22% said they were not and 10% were neutral.
Whites were at 52% while 22% of them were neutral. Forty eight percent of Indians agreed with 31% being against the notion and 21% being neutral.
"Racial attitudes are a mess in the country," said Everatt.
