  • 1 Women As Rhetorical Agents of Peace
    Women as Rhetorical Agents of Peace in South Africa. “Open Arms and Tongues of Steel” Prepared by: Ruvimbo N. Goredema Research Assistant 1 INTRODUCTION This Working Paper seeks to investigate how women are both perceived and how they represent themselves as agents of reconciliation. Much of the basis of analysis will come from how women in South Africa experience public life. It is at this point that I would like to highlight that it is nearly impossible to separate the ideas of how women experience the public sphere from the ideas of gender analysis and feminism within an African framework. The Feminist Movement will be briefly addressed as it is a key agent in many instances that has enabled many women to participate in South African public discourse. However, the African feminist movement works in many ways differently to that of the West (the deemed source of this movement). This is because of colonialism and the role that African culture plays in these women’s lives. This is not to say that there are no lines of similarity but it is to emphasise that in a newly democratic South Africa, there are extenuating factors that shape how this rhetorical experience is perceived and executed. By highlighting the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report, the role of the Rain Queen and the Reed’s Dance in Zulu culture and process of female circumcision in Basotho culture, we aim to illustrate how women help or in fact hinder reconciliation, and how they challenge the notion that they embody a “kinder” way of doing public life.

The setting of their dynasty on the one hand in a South African democratic space with an appraisal of women’s rights and on the other in a rural traditionalist setting where women have a designated place under patriarchy. How the Queens navigate their rule in such instances where the modern and traditional seek to occupy the same space calls for such a reading. Thus questions about their ability to autonomously dispense their duties as Queens and exercise freedom over their livelihoods in a culture that emanates from patriarchal rule form the core objectives in this research.

    Mail & Guardian https://mg.co.za/article/2018-04-17-madikizela-mandelas-last-fight-for-womens-land-rights OPINION Madikizela-Mandela’s last fight: For women’s land rights Bathabile Dlamini 17 Apr 2018 16:39 Mama Winnie became a voice of defiance against legislation that further marginalised and subjugated the position of black women COMMENT The passing on of the “Mother of the Nation”, U’Mama Winnie Nomzamo Madikizela- Mandela, came at a time when there is a renewed focus on one of our country’s most important and complex issues — the land question. As if by her own design, Mama Winnie’s last act of defiance was, and will continue to be, against the brutal laws of a system under which she had known all the pain possible that a human can endure. She sought to reverse the historical perversion by colonial authorities of customary law to women’s land rights. Up to her last breath Mama Winnie firmly believed that women’s equal rights to land, housing and property are human rights that should be upheld by the courts of this land. It is no wonder that some of the townships and informal settlements around the country are named after this remarkable African woman. At the height of the colonial and apartheid regimes the deliberate distortion and codification of African customary laws and systems, as clearly demonstrated in the 1913 Native Land Act, became the anchor strategy for the colonial imperialists to plunder the African land and its vast resources. In his book The Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon makes an inalienable connection between the colonised people and the question of the land.

    The social life of a small ethnology museum in Limpopo, South Africa Lisa Victoria Hendricks Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Ilana van Wyk December 2020 i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This mini-ethnography is concerned with a small-town ethnology museum, the Aranya Museum, and the various actors that entered and engaged with the museum and its artefacts during a period of transition, which started with the death of its long-time curator. The museum, like many others in South Africa, was founded by a lone man and was animated by a colonial collecting ethic that had become deeply unfashionable post-apartheid. Indeed, the literature shows a radical shift in museum collecting practices that has seen “source communities” becoming involved in and laying claim to their ethnic heritage in such ethnology collections. Contrary to this trend, the Aranya Museum held little interest for the museum’s “source communities” who expressed no intention to appropriate or reclaim ‘their’ indigenous artefacts.
