IntroductionThe following article will focus on the change in South Africa before and after 1994 and the disorganization it brought to South Africans. South Africa has gone through serious transitions in technology, ecology, careers, economic progress, norms and value systems, and social and political framework, Prinsloo (1998) . Change is mostly seen as a threat; as something negative and difficult to adapt to, thus leading to the disorganization of a situation. In one study, it was found that social change involves a profound societal transformation that affects the course of a group's history, thereby leading to disorganization, Auger, Crush, De la Sablonnière, McDonald, and Taylor (2012). Problem Statement Auger et al. (2012) argues that the transition from apartheid to democracy brought about serious, dramatic social changes that some whites viewed as negative and therefore resisted. Black people thought they would benefit more from the transition, but it appears that lower working class black people still do not benefit from the transition. Prinsloo (1998) states that in one study there is evidence that all cultural groups suffer severe trauma when it comes to social change, especially after 1994. Members of these groups experience community life as dangerous, unsafe, violent and corrupt. They have a negative perception of the future, a feeling of insecurity and a state of distrust. These experiences contribute to tensions between racial and ethnic groups and ultimately a loss of morality, Prinsloo (1998). Robert E Park “We live in times. . . of social disorganization. Everything is in turmoil, everything seems to be changing. . . Any form of change that brings measurable well-being, as optimists are said to use different strategies than pessimists to deal with critical life situations. Coetzee and Schreuder (2009) also mention that an optimist will perceive changes as positive and will work harder to adapt to them. Conclusion In many situations, change is perceived as negative and threatening. Thus, people faced with change are not always willing to accept that change is a threat. inevitable and there is nothing we can do about it. People tend to be very resistant to change, but Blatt (nd) mentions that people also tend to perceive change as a learning experience from which they can benefit. To cope with change, individuals must be informed about why change is occurring and what the consequences are. When they are informed, they are more willing to accept the suggested change and will not let the change disrupt their lives..
