However, this coexistence has often been marked by numerous conflicts. These conflicts take different forms and dimensions; while priority has been given to violent conflicts, these conflicts escalate and rescale when not dealt with. However, it appears priority has been given to violent conflicts, making it critical to understand and deal with all forms of conflicts before they escalate. Therefore, this study examined the nature of the conflict in the Greater Giyani municipality of South Africa. Purposive sampling was used to select 33 participants. Interviews were conducted with knowledgeable individuals to gain insight into the tensions between traditional and elected leaders. Codes and themes were electronically generated from the narratives of community members and key informants using ATLAS ti.22. The study concluded that existing conflict resolution mechanisms focus more on violent conflicts than embedded ones. Again, the current study demonstrated that non-violent conflict, if not dealt with, can escalate into violent conflict. Thus, these research findings pointed to the need for state and non-state actors to pay attention to all forms of conflict. By identifying different types of conflicts between community leaders, this study contributes to understanding how conflicts between TLs and WCs manifest and highlights the extent of common conflicts.

Yet, the framing of these movements as being male dominated, though accurate, obscures the roles that women play within these spaces. This study furthers the academic understanding of the phenomenon by presenting a comprehensive examination of the role of gender within far right extremism as a political ideology and within far right extremist groups. Gendered differences are found in the actual support for these movements and in the motivating psychological factors behind such support. Gendered differences are also present in the roles that men and women perform within these groups, with women functioning as violent actors, thinkers, facilitators, promoters, activists, and exemplars, but being unable to access leadership positions within far right extremist groups.","PeriodicalId":134562,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Intelligence, Conflict, and Warfare","volume":"266 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
