They are to be ·subpoenaed to an_in camera hearing by the Truth Commiussion on 17,18 and 19th August. Their subpoena under Section 29 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act means they have not asked for amnesty, and presumably believed that they would not be detected. I congratulated the TRC for discovering those they believed to be responsible. Whilst I did always want to know who was respon.ible it is another burden to come to terms with the reality of three actual human beings who are supposed to have tried to kill me. Following is a the transcript of an article which accurately represents much of my response to these r~velations just a fev hours after I was told. With my praye~s and best wishest Fr.

  • The Anti-Apartheid Movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand
    The anti-apartheid movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand By Peter Limb Introduction The history of the anti-apartheid movement(s) (AAM) in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia is one of multi-faceted solidarity action with strong international, but also regional and historical dimensions that gave it specific features, most notably the role of sports sanctions and the relationship of indigenous peoples’ struggles to the AAM. Most writings on the movement in Australia are in the form of memoirs, though Christine Jennett in 1989 produced an analysis of it as a social movement. New Zealand too has insightful memoirs and fine studies of the divisive 1981 rugby tour. The movement’s internal history is less known. This chapter is the first history of the movement in both countries. It explains the movement’s nature, details its history, and discusses its significance and lessons.1 The movement was a complex mosaic of bodies of diverse forms: there was never a singular, centralised organisation. Components included specific anti-apartheid groups, some of them loose coalitions, others tightly focused, and broader supportive organisations such as unions, churches and NGOs. If activists came largely from left- wing, union, student, church and South African communities, supporters came from a broader social range. The liberation movement was connected organically not only through politics, but also via the presence of South Africans, prominent in Australia, if rather less so in New Zealand. The political configuration of each country influenced choice of alliance and depth of interrelationships. Forms of struggle varied over time and place. There were internal contradictions and divisive issues, and questions around tactics, armed struggle and sanctions, and how to relate to internal racism.

  • Restorative Justice and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Process1
    Restorative Justice and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Process1 Christian B.N. Gade Department of Culture and Society Aarhus University Jens Chr. Skous Vej 7 8000 Aarhus C Denmark [email protected] Abstract It has frequently been argued that the post-apartheid Truth and Rec- onciliation Commission (TRC) was committed to restorative justice (RJ), and that RJ has deep historical roots in African indigenous cul- tures by virtue of its congruence both with ubuntu and with African indigenous justice systems (AIJS). In this article, I look into the ques- tion of what RJ is. I also present the finding that the term ‘restorative justice’ appears only in transcripts of three public TRC hearings, and the hypothesis that the TRC first really began to take notice of the term ‘restorative justice’ after April 1997, when the South African Law Commission published an Issue Paper dealing with RJ. Further- more, I show that neither the connection between RJ and ubuntu nor the connection between RJ and AIJS is as straightforward and unproblematic as often assumed. Introduction In my research on ubuntu and the South African transition from apartheid to multi-ra- cial democracy (see Gade 2011 & Gade 2012), I have frequently come across refer- ences to restorative justice (RJ). This is what has inspired me to look deeper into the issue of RJ and the South African truth and reconciliation process in this article. I will begin by exemplifying the idea that whereas the post-apartheid Truth and Rec- onciliation Commission (TRC) did not offer retributive justice, it did promote another kind of justice, namely RJ.

  • ("ARM"), 1960- 1964 Sabotage and the Question of the Ideological Subject Andries Du Toit Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the M.A
    The National Committee for The National Committee for Liberation ("ARM"), 1960- 1964 Sabotage and the Question of the Ideological Subject Andries du Toit Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in History at the University of Cape Town For my Parents "All of us are living and thinking subjects. What I react against is the fact that there is a breach between social history and the history of ideas. Social historians are supposed to describe how people act without thinking, and historians of ideas are supposed to describe how people think without acting. Everybody both thinks and acts." Michel Foucault "To articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it 'the way it really was' (Ranke). It means to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger." Walter Benjamin Abstract Title The National Committee for Liberation ("ARM") 1960 - 1964: sabotage and the question of the ideological subject. Subject Matter The dissertation gives an account of the history of the National Committee for Liberation (NCL), an anti- apartheid sabotage organisation that existed between 1960 and 1964.
