Communication between incommensurable culture paradigms. When the notion of "polarization" isused to signify the nature of the Relationships between diverse cultural paradigms within the multi-cultural Context of the RSA,it inevitably implies the exclusion of the possibility Of communication. The choice for this model is already aprejudiced with A certain understanding of the dilemma.This model is symptom at icofa Cultural discourse in which the now well worn metaphors of apartheid and Integration have been used as key terms.In this article it is argued That these metaphors and this type of discourse is misleading and needs To be replaced by an understanding of the South African situation which Accommodates the fact that all human beings, irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds, raceorculture, share the same basic needs and aspirations. It is at this level that communication ought to be instigated.
