Abstract
Language variety is a phenomenon which has enjoyed a great deal of at tention in the Republic of South Afri ca during the past few decades. The alm of this paper is to concentrate more on possible similari tles/universalla as strategy for Improved Black-White communication within the heterogeneous Eastern Cape society of our country. The con clusion is reached that before the above objective can be realized, a greater show of respect for each other's uniqueness must be acquired and more attention must be given to the organizing of discourse.
