Diý;lt & Sont PREFACE This new edition of Nagsgbr for y0or Comfinrt appears at a time of crisis for African peopld of South Africa and Naniibia. When I wrote the book wenty.eiglth years ao it is true to say that nIost people ill the West had no understanding at all of the meaning of "apartheid". Today everyone o intelligence knows that what I wrote then was the simple truth, namely that South Africa is the only country in the world which bases its entire way of life on discrimination by race and colour, Moreover, South Africa is also unikue in making the issue of race deterriniative for the lives of all irs citizens. After twenty-eight years it still remains true that no black African has citizenship rights inl the 97 per cent of the country declared to belong to white South Africa. ()Iy ill the so-called Homelands or Bantustans has the African tile right to claim citizenship, but this citizenship is not recognized anywhere else on earth. It is reckoned that some' three and a half million black Africams have been uprooted from their homes in South Africa without choice and dumped in these tomelaids without hope. This is the meaning of apartheid and it is true to say that tot the blavwk .African, apartheid is more deeply eutrenichwd in law than it was when I wrote this book. In spite of the massive propaganda of the South African Government about its new constitutional arrangement for the Coloured and Indian population, thse. same constitutional changes deprive, the majority of all citien'shi rights in their own country. At the same time South Africa has, been engaed in al external policy of aggresssion against its African neighboars and of destadilizatio against their govermnnIerS. In ma1Y countries South Africa is breaking interational law and f0r the past seven Years haN defied tlhe S C o,:nmdl of thc 12 PR1: FIAiV United Nations by continuing to ocCupy Namiii; i and carrying out extensive and appalling militairy attack.s on die civilian population. Having successfully destroved the economy of Mozambique, South Africa has ed iti government to sign the Accord known as the Mkonatti Accord, which gives it the whip-hand and yet which has been made to appear as an act of magn.aimity. Unfortunately, the West has largely accepted Soiuth Africa's policies and there is, therefore, the danger that South Africa will do what it likes, both inside the country and in its external policies, for the foreseeable fu tu re. In this sense South Africa is undoubtedly a threat to world peace in a way which was not true when this book first appeared. Obviously changes have happened over these years, but apartheid itself is stronger and is in fact the oiily enewmy which remains to be defeated. I can onlv hope and pra, that those who read this new edition of mv book will re ognize this simple truth and do all they can to persuade those in power in their own countries to continue to isolate SR)uth Africa until apartheid is defeated.

  • History 1886
    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

Although not to the same extent as in medical experimentation, for example, the social sciences do entail addressing ethical considerations. This research is conducted at the University of Stellenbosch and, as such, must be managed according to the institution’s Framework Policy for the Assurance and Promotion of Ethically Accountable Research at Stellenbosch University. The policy stipulates that all accumulated data must be used for academic purposes exclusively. This study relies on social sources and ensures that the university’s policy on the values and principles of non-maleficence, scientific validity and integrity is followed. All participating oral sources were informed on the objectives of the study, the nature of the interviews (such as the use of a tape recorder) and the relevance of their involvement.

  • Objecting to Apartheid
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) OBJECTING TO APARTHEID: THE HISTORY OF THE END CONSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN By DAVID JONES Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the subject HISTORY At the UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR GARY MINKLEY JANUARY 2013 I, David Jones, student number 200603420, hereby declare that I am fully aware of the University of Fort Hare’s policy on plagiarism and I have taken every precaution to comply with the regulations. Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

  • Apartheid Is a Heresy
    by R.G.CLARKE APARTHEID IS A HERESY "Apartheid is a heresy". This was the historic declaration possible means. The claim made by the synods of the made by the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (W.A.R.C.) N.G.K. that there were "skriftuurlike gronde" to support at Ottawa in August 1982. This review article of a recent "rasse-apartheid" understood as, afsonderlike, eiesoortige book under that title seeks to explore some of the impli­ ontwikke!ing"6 had to be denounced not merely as false cations of this declaration for the South African churches but as heretical. The truth implicit in this statement which in 1984. angered Afrikaners was that those who support apartheid could not continue to regard themselves as Christians. Thus the South African Prime Minister at the time, Mr. J.G. The Churches'Judgement on Apartheid in 1948. Strijdom, said that Huddleston was attempting to "slander Firstly it needs to be seen that the statement "apartheid is the white man in South Africa" and "to incite not only a heresy" differs from all previous condemnations of racism the outside world against South Africa, but also the non- by the churches.

  • The Psychological Impact of Guerrilla Warfare on the Boer Forces During the Anglo-Boer War
    University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF GUERRILLA WARFARE ON THE BOER FORCES DURING THE ANGLO-BOER WAR by ANDREW JOHN MCLEOD Submitted as partial requirement for the degree DOCTOR PHILOSOPHIAE (HISTORY) in the Faculty of Human Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria 2004 Supervisor : Prof. F. Pretorius Co-supervisor : Prof. J.B. Schoeman University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) Abstract of: “The psychological impact of guerrilla warfare on the Boer forces during the Anglo- Boer War” The thesis is based on a multi disciplinary study involving both particulars regarding military history and certain psychological theories. In order to be able to discuss the psychological experiences of Boers during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, the first chapters of the thesis strive to provide the required background. Firstly an overview of the initial conventional phase of the war is furnished, followed by a discussion of certain psychological issues relevant to stress and methods of coping with stress. Subsequently, guerrilla warfare as a global concern is examined. A number of important events during the transitional stage, in other words, the period between conventional warfare and total guerrilla warfare, are considered followed by the regional details concerning the Boers’ plans for guerrilla warfare. These details include the ecological features, the socio-economic issues of that time and military information about the regions illustrating the dissimilarity and variety involved. In the chapters that follow the focus is concentrated on the psychological impact of the guerrilla war on the Boers. The wide range of stressors (factors inducing stress) are arranged according to certain topics: stress caused by military situations; stress caused by the loss of infrastructure in the republics; stress caused by environmental factors; stress arising from daily hardships; stress caused by anguish and finally stressors prompted by an individuals disposition.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.

  • Conflict Quarterly Ment It Is a Common Error Made in the Developed Democracies to Think That the Third World Is Relatively Homogenous
    Conflict Quarterly ment It is a common error made in the developed democracies to think that the Third World is relatively homogenous. In fact (to take two examples from the book), Chile has more in common with Spanish-speaking Europe than it does with Indonesia. The author does fully understand these problems and wrestles with them manfully. Even he is forced to a highly agnostic conclusion as to the conceptual value of the category which (one presumes) he was landed with by bis publisher. It is certainly true that military regimes, where sufficient military unity exists, can impose rule which is effective in the short run even on quite highly developed societies. It is also true that, as Pinkney points out, Right-wing military governments rarely build institutions which outlast them; they are followed either by a transition to a quite different form of govern­ ment, or by a relapse into chaos. Beyond these conclusions, there is essen­ tially variety and multiplicity. This reviewer fully shares the agnosticism, but also agrees that the book was worth attempting despite the limited conclusions which can be drawn from so broad a theme. A possible alternative treatment might have consisted of a detailed study of a few specifically counter-mobilizing military regimes such as Franco's Spain, Pinochet's Chile and (possibly) Zia's Paki­ stan. However this may be, Pinkney fully brings in the reader in his efforts to battle open-mindedly with the evidence. This, in itself, is something from which students can learn. Moreover, even though the theme itself is very broad, Pinkney does have many interesting things to say about his chosen topic.
