September 2010 Copyright © Stellenbosch University All rights reserved. Rees iii Abstract This thesis explores masculinity and sexuality, hegemonic and “deviant” in the nation state of the old apartheid South Africa, by addressing aspects of fatherhood, boyhood and motherhood in white, predominantly Afrikaans family narratives. In doing this, I explore the ways in which the young boys in texts such as The Smell of Apples (1995), by Mark Behr, and moffie (2006), by André Carl van der Merwe, are systematically groomed to become the ideal stereotype of masculinity at the time: rugged, intelligent, successful and heterosexual. The main focus of this thesis is to explore the ideologies inherent in constructing the white, Afrikaner man, his woman and their family. This will be done with specific reference to the time frame between the early 1970s to the fall of the apartheid regime in the early 1990s, focussing on the young white boys who are sent to do military training and oftentimes, a stint on the border between Angola and the then South-West Africa, in order to keep the so-called threat of communism at bay.

  • Union of South Africa) Republic of South Africa

    (Union of South Africa) Republic of South Africa Background: Dutch traders landed at the southern tip of mod- ern day South Africa in 1652 and established a stopover point on the spice route between the Netherlands and the Far East, founding the city of Cape Town. After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The dis- covery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhab- itants. The Boers resisted British encroachments but were de- feated in the Boer War (1899-1902); however, the British and the Afrikaners, as the Boers became known, ruled together be- ginning in 1910 under the Union of South Africa, which became a republic in 1961. In 1948, the National Party had been voted into power and instituted a policy of apartheid - the separate de- velopment of the races - which favored the white minority. The African National Congress (ANC) led the opposition to apartheid. Internal protests and insurgency, as well as boycotts by some Western nations and institutions, led to the regime's eventual willingness to negotiate a peaceful transition to major- ity rule. The first multi-racial elections in 1994 brought an end to apartheid and ushered in majority rule under an ANC-led government. South Africa since then has struggled to address apartheid-era imbalances in decent housing, education, and health care. In January 2011, South Africa assumed a nonper- manent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2011-12 term.
  • Equipment of the Border War

    Equipment of the Border War

    JOERNAAL/JOURNAL HEITMAN EQUIPMENT OF THE BORDER WAR Helmoed Römer Heitman∗ 1. INTRODUCTION The counter-insurgency war fought along the border between Namibia and Angola in the 1970s and 1980s brought forth a range of new equipment, some of which is still in service today, but some of which is long forgotten. The South African Defence Force (SADF), as it then was, started off ill-equipped and had to scramble somewhat to meet the demands of a new war, but it ended the war with one of the best-equipped small armies in the world, as well as an air force with some very use- ful weapons optimised for this type of warfare. The Navy was not as lucky, being something of a stepchild during a war that involved mainly ground and air forces. The weapons and equipment that grew out of this war were not only those typical of a counter-insurgency campaign, but also included systems, weapons and equip- ment that was developed for high-mobility semi-conventional operations. Many of those did not enter service in time to see action, but a fair number did make it into service with the new South African National Defence Force (SANDF). Among them are the Rooikat, the Rooivalk and the Umkhonto surface-to-air missile. No article can discuss everything that entered service during this period, let alone the items that did not make it past the 'gleam in the eye' stage. This article only gives an outline of the main combat equipment, but should give some flavour of the time.
