Trekking Outward
TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa. -

Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Die opvatting bestaan dat die Suid-Afrikaanse oorgangsonderhandelinge geinisieer is deur gebeurtenisse tydens 1990. Hierdie stuC.:ie betwis so 'n opvatting en argumenteer dat 'n noodsaaklike tydperk van informele onderhandeling voor formele kontak bestaan het. Gedurende die voorafgaande tydperk, wat bekend staan as vooronderhandeling, het lede van die Nasionale Party regering en die African National Congress (ANC) gepoog om kommunikasiekanale daar te stel en sodoende die moontlikheid van 'n onderhandelde skikking te ondersoek. Deur van 'n fase-benadering tot onderhandeling gebruik te maak, analiseer hierdie studie die oorgangstydperk met die doel om die struktuur en funksies van Suid-Afrikaanse vooronderhandelinge te bepaal. Die volgende drie onderhandelingsfases word onderskei: onderhande/ing oor onderhandeling, voorlopige onderhande/ing, en substantiewe onderhandeling. Beide fases een en twee word beskou as deel van vooronderhandeling. -

South Africa: Afrikaans Film and the Imagined Boundaries of Afrikanerdom
A new laager for a “new” South Africa: Afrikaans film and the imagined boundaries of Afrikanerdom Adriaan Stefanus Steyn Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Anthropology in the faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Bernard Dubbeld Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za 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 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry. -
Redakteursbrief
Kortpad na advertensies 25 Desember 2016 Algemene nuusbrokkies Gemeenskapsadvertensies Kleinadvertensies (Persoonlik) Kleinadvertensies (Besigheid) Geestelike Pitkos Werksgeleenthede Afrikaanse kerkdienste Landswye dagboek Riglyne vir adverteerders Kanselleer intekening / Unsubscribe Redakteursbrief Om praktiese redes aan die einde van ‘n baie besige jaar vir my, gebruik ek heelwat van dieselfde inligting wat in hierdie week se Kiwi-Brokkies verskyn ook hier weens die generiese aard daarvan. Dit was ‘n geskiedkundige jaar in die sin dat Aus-Brokkies ewe beskeie uit Nieu-Seeland se BROKKIES (wat toe reeds vir 15 jaar lank bestaan het) gebore is. So het die twee susterspublikasies ontstaan: Aus-Brokkies en Kiwi-Brokkies. Dit was die verwesenliking van ‘n droom vir my. Ons het nou ook vir die soveelste keer die voorreg om Kersfees te vier, en spesifiek die herdenking van die geboorte van ons Verlosser Jesus Christus, die Goeie Nuus wat soveel eeue lank deur profete voorspel is. Baie mense in hierdie deurmekaar wêreld erken Homs slegs as mens. Hulle is ten minste eerlik oor die emmers vol historiese getuienis (ook buite-Bybels) dat Hy wel bestaan het. Hulle het egter vir hulself ‘n versperring opgerig by die kwessie of Hy wel die dood oorwin het en of Hy God in mensgestalte was. As Jesus nie na sy Kruisdood opgestaan het nie, was hy slegs ‘n goeie mens. Indien Hy egter wel uit die dood opgestaan het, verdien dit dieper besinning – vir ons eie siel se onthalwe. Uit sy Woord leer ons dat Hy elke persoon geskep het met ‘n diepliggende kennis van Hom. Hy sê elke mens weet dat God bestaan, hoewel dit dikwels ten sterkste deur mense betwis word. -
