So several million people, nearly all of them black, have built their own shanties or other shelters in and around the cities. They have used whatever material they have been able to lay their hands on: wood and mud, old packing cases and crates, corrugated iron, sheets of plastic, and occasionally bricks or concrete blocks. Sometimes referred to as squatters (a term not always technically accurate), these ‘informal settlers’ have been described as ‘South Africa’s new city builders’. One of them is Mr Aaron ‘Bobo’ Khumalo, who built his house at Dlamini Camp No 2, near Chiawelo in Soweto. There he lives with his wife, Yvonne, and his children, Mandla (10) and Edward (1). The family moved to Dlamini Camp at the beginning of 1988 when the Soweto authorities demolished their shack at Mochaeneng opposite the Regina Mundi church. Before then they had lived in backyard shacks as sub–tenants. Published by the South African Institute of Race Relations Auden House, 68 De Korte Street Braamfontein, Johannesburg, 2001 South Africa Copyrights South African Institute of Race Relations 1989 ISSN 0258-7246 PD5/89 ISBN 0-86982-355-8 PREFACE This Survey is published during the Institute’s diamond jubilee year, the organisation having been founded on 9 May 1929. The Survey, which has been an annual publication since 1936, pioneered research into the impact of discriminatory legislation on every aspect of South African life. For many years the Survey had little to do but report the enactment of one discriminatory piece of legislation after another: the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act of 1949, the Population Registration and Group Areas Acts of 1950, the Bantu Building Workers Act of 1951, the Reservation of Separate Amenities and Bantu Education Acts of 1953. “In more recent years the Institute has been able to report the repeal of quite a number of these laws, including the pass laws, including the pass laws which were repealed in the middle of 1986”. It file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre...T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201988-89.HTM (2 of 1123)25/11/2004 15:59:33 PM file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre-Transition/The%2...partheid%20State/T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201988-89.HTM has also been able to report the extension of statutory trade union rights and home-ownership to Africans, along with the erosion of the industrial colour bar, and the disappearance of apartheid from at least tertiary educational institutions and private schools. As we go to the printers the repeal of another form of apartheid seems to be reaching the national political agenda: Section 52 of the Republic of South Africa Constitution Act of 1983 limits the parliamentary franchise to white, coloured, and Indian people, while Section 93 vests the control and administration of African affairs in the state president. At this stage we cannot foretell how long it will be before these crucial aspects of discrimination have been removed. The Survey remains a unique publication. It is the. only one monitoring the impact of discrimination right across the society in a systematic way. It is also the only one methodically keeping track of the dismantling of discrimination where this is occurring. Nor is the Survey concerned only with legislation per se: it also pays attention to wider ramifications, including material inequality between black and white. Down the years we have reported on the change in the ratio of white to black spending on schoolchildren by the state from about 7 to I in the mid-1950s when Dr Verwoerd nationalised black education and pegged its funding, to 18 to I in the early 1970s, to about 4,5 to 1 today. Does the Institute have anything to celebrate in its 60th year? We have held a number of functions for our members to mark our birthday, but we have been conscious on all these occasions that much injustice and inequality still persists. However, our President, the Reverend Dr Stanley Mogoba, argued in his presidential address on 17 August that it was not true that the Institute had nothing to celebrate. In spite of abhorrent racial laws still on the statute book, he said, ‘there is one thing that we as an Institute can indeed celebrate in this our diamond jubilee year: it is that the trend away from apartheid is irreversibly established’.

These buildings are an important indication of our level of civilisation and a convincing proof for a judgmental critical world - that for more than 300 years a structured and proper Western civilisation has flourished and exist here at the southern point of Africa. The visible tracks of our cultural heritage are our historic buildings…they are undoubtedly the deeds to the land we love and which God in his mercy gave to us. 1 2 Fig.1.

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.

  • SINGING PSALMS with OWLS: a VENDA 20Th CENTURY MUSICAL HISTORY Part Two: TSHIKONA, BEER SONGS and Personal SONGS
    36 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF AFRICAN MUSIC SINGING PSALMS WITH OWLS: A VENDA 20th CENTURY MUSICAL HISTORY pART TwO: TSHIKONA, BEER SONGS AND pERSONAL SONGS by JACO KRUGER The three categories of Venda music discussed here are tshikona (the bamboo pipe dance), beer songs (malende, jive) and personal songs. As I indicate in part One of this essay,1 tshikona is useful for the construction of a musical history because its performance is intimately associated with traditional politics. By contrast, beer songs do not feature di­ rectly in politics. However, they not only comprise the largest category of adult music, they also have more elaborate texts than Venda music forms such as tshikona or tshigombela. While song texts have an important function, they arguably play a secondary role in large scale performances of communal dance music such as tshigombela and tshikona, which primarily are geared towards emotional arousal through sound and movement. As the continuum of musical performance extends towards smaller groups, and finally the individual musician, performances become more reflective, and their cognitive content increases to a point where a simple accompaniment on a musical bow or guitar becomes the subservient carrier of song texts of epic proportion (see Kruger 1993:348-403). While the study of large-scale dance performance reveals general social developments, the texts of beer songs and personal songs not only uncover the detail of these develop­ ments but also the emotional motivations which underpin them. Tshikona Tshikona is one of a number of South African pipe dances (see Kirby 1968:135­ 170). These dances mostly take place under the auspices of traditional leaders, and they are associated with important social rituals.

  • Clergy's Resistance to VENDA Homeland's INDEPENDENCE in the 1970S and 1980S
    CLERGY’S Resistance to VENDA HOMELAND’S INDEPENDENCE IN THE 1970S and 1980S S.T. Kgatla Research Institute for Theology and Religion University of South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT The article discusses the clergy’s role in the struggle against Venda’s “independence” in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as resistance to the apartheid policy of “separate development” for Venda. It also explores the policy of indirect white rule through the replacement of real community leaders with incompetent, easily manipulated traditional chiefs. The imposition of the system triggered resistance among the youth and the churches, which led to bloody reprisals by the authorities. Countless were detained under apartheid laws permitting detention without trial for 90 days. Many died in detention, but those responsible were acquitted by the courts of law in the Homeland. The article highlights the contributions of the Black Consciousness Movement, the Black People Conversion Movement, and the Student Christian Movement. The Venda student uprising was second in magnitude only to the Soweto uprising of 16 June 1976. The torture of ministers in detention and the response by church leaders locally and internationally, are discussed. The authorities attempted to divide the Lutheran Church and nationalise the Lutherans in Venda, but this move was thwarted. venda was officially re-incorporated into South Africa on 27 April 1994.
