Abstract

Social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments with the purpose to promote change in people as well as in society. The 1994 democratic elections in South Africa provided the opportunity to challenge the political processes of the past that had influenced and shaped all South African policies, including social welfare and social work. This challenge included the moulding of the social work profession and social work education, within a democratic, developing South Africa that upholds the principles of human rights and social justice. The extent of this challenge, however, can only be fully understood within the context of the historical development of social work education in South Africa
