LOCATION OF FACILITIES	ABSOLUTE FREQUENCIES	FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
Within Umlazi	99	44%
Outside Umlazi	64	28%
Schools found in Umlazi	51	23%
Schools found outside Umlazi	12	05%

From table 3 it is found that 67% of the limited recreation facilities that are used by the youth are located within Umlazi. These recreation facilities are basically soccer fields, community halls, swimming pools and tennis courts. Community halls are basically used for indoor recreation activities like choral and dancing practices.

The youth were requested to assess the conditions of the facilities found within the township using the semantic differential scale. From TABLE 5 below, it appears that 95.14% of the respondents indicated that the conditions of recreation facilities that are used by the youth in Umlazi are poor. Only 4,86% of the respondents rate the recreation facilities as being good or meeting the expected standards.
