SIZWE BANSI IS DEAD The Oregon Shakespearean Festival Performance of Athol Fugard's "SIZWE BANSI IS DEAD" JANUARY 13 & 15 8 p.m. JANUARY 14th MATINEE 2 p.m. "THE ISLAND" JANUARY 14 & 16 8 p.m. Broadway Performance Hall Sizwe Bansi is Dead / The Island BACKGROUND j ,LWe Bansi Is Dead, and The Island present two personal perspectives on apartheid. the South African legal system based on racial discrimination and segregation. The follow­ ing notes are meant to help American audiences understand the actual social context of these plays. APARTHEID In South Africa, 25 million non-whites are being denied all human rights by 4 million ruling whites, including: The right to vote. Blacks cannot vote, and Black political parties have been banned for decades. The right to citizenship. Blacks are not allowed citizenship. Instead, the South African government is setting up reservations or "homelands" for Blacks (13% of the land. the most barren and resource-poor areas) which it claims are their true national homelands. 87% of the country belongs to white citizens. This portion includes the fertile land, natural resources and the industry. The right to labor orranization. Blacks are prohibited from forming unions and from bargaining collective y. Strikes are illegal. Black workers who do much of the work in mining and manufacturing are paid a fraction of the wages paid to whites, while they work under dangerous and unbelievably oppressive conditions . The right to housing. It;s against the law for most Blacks to live in the cities where they work. Some Blacks live in ghettoes called "townships" outside the cities . Often husbands and wives are forced to live separately in prison-like "hostels." The right to free speeCh. Almost all Black newspapers and organizations have been ban­ ned since 1976. At that time over 1,000 Black protesters were killed by the government, many of them students who were protesting rules outlawing native languages in schools. The right to travel freely. Every African over sixteen must produce a pass on demand . ~r to a passport, the pass book includes an identity number, finger prints, a sig­ nature of an employer, tax receipts, and personal information. Africans can be stopped at any time; if they do not have their pass, they are arrested. Over 3,000 such arrests are made every day. This pass book law creates the circumstances governing the devel­ opment of the human drama in Sizwe Bansi Is Dead. RESISTANCE TO APARTHEID Resistance to the passes is one of the many ways Africans have expressed their opposit­ ion towards the Apartheid system. In Sharpeville in 1960, peaceful demonstrations were held against the pass laws and thousands of passes were burned. Police opened fire on the unarmed crowd. Sixty-nine were left dead and hundreds were wounded. The government further responded with the arrest of thousands of people, declaring that the organizations that had planned the resistance campaign - the African National Congress (ANC) dnd the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) - were illegal. Nelson Mandela, a leader of the ANC, and many others remain in prison on Robben Island today . This creates the context for The Island, a story of two cellmates serving sentences for the crime of opposing the pass book system . TH.E CURRENT SITUATION Like slavery in the U.S., apartheid developed because it is extremely profitable to the minority that controls the South African economy. But such a system of oppression can­ not continue to exist without challenge by those who suffer under it. In an effort to suppress resistance, South Africa has been waging a brutal war against the people of Namibia who are seeking independence . South Africa continues to occupy Namibia in viol­ ation of U.N. mandates and worla opinion. Recently. South Africa invaded and occupied parts of Angola as well. Nearly all the countries of the world have voiced their opposition to South Africa's apartheid system, its illegal occupation of Namibia, and its invasion into Angola, and have called for economic sanctions. But the U.S. repeatedly has undermined those in­ itiatives. The U.S. during the last session of the U.N. Security Council stood alone i" its veto of a resolution which would have condemned South Africa's invasion of Angola. U.S. banks, corporations and the U.S. government continue to provide economic, military and diplomatic support to an isolated South African government . Billions of dollars in loans support the South African economy, and hundreds of multinational corporations such as Chrysler and Ford have laid off workers here at the same time they are expanding their investments in South Africa. Such investments are extremely profitable in large part due to the repression of African It/orkers . The Reagan Administration has recently extended U.S . ties with South Africa, which Alexander Haig called "a new beginning of mutual trust and understanding between the U.S . and South Africa, old friends." Many organizations and individuals in the U.S . have been seeking to curtail these ties. WHAT THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA WANT Resistance to apartheid, both inside South Africa and throughout the world, is growing . The majority of people in South Africa are fighting to end aoartheid and to build a new society free of racist poison. In 1955, Africans, Asians and White South Africans met in Kliptown. They unanimously adopted the Freedom Charter. It states: "We, the people of South Africa, declare for all our country and the world to know: that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, Black and White, and that no government can justly claim auth­ ority unless it is based on the will of all the people; that our people have been robbed of their birthright to land, liberty and peace by a form of government founded on injustice and inequality; that our country will never be prosperous or free until all the people live in brotherhood enjoying equal rights and opoortunities; that only a democratic state, based on the will of all the people, can secure to all their birthrights without distinction of colour, race, sex, or belief; .. And we pledge ourselves to str ive together sparing neither strength nor courage, until the democratic changes set out here have been won. The people shall govern!"

As light-skinned Morris tries desperately to hold on to his only family, he inadvertently creates a chasm that might never close, forcing dark-skinned Zach to ask the most dangerous question: Is love only skin deep? “With Blood Knot, we have the chance to ask ourselves: how does racism live in our relationships today on either overt or subtle levels?” says director Kevin Jones. “Do we allow ourselves to notice the stereotypes we act out or project onto others? If we do allow that level of self-awareness, what do we do with it? We need to talk about these issues. For me as a story-teller and cultural activist, coming to this play is about having a conversation.” Athol Fugard originated the role of Morris onstage. Upon its premiere in Johannesburg in 1961, the two-character play was immediately closed and censored by the South African government for having an interracial cast.

  • The Uniqueness of Athol Fugard's Characterization in His Drama
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 2 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy March 2015 The Uniqueness of Athol Fugard’s Characterization in his Drama Margaret Njoki Mwihia Mount Kenya University, School of Social Sciences Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n2s1p184 Abstract In the process of reading Athol Fugard’s four selected plays it has been noticed that he has a unique way of presenting his characters to show his vision. The playwright presents us with characters in conditions that portray dehumanization of one race by another. He uses minimal characters that represent the larger population of South Africa. Keywords: Literature, Language, Arts, Writers, play 1. Background Critics and reviewers who have studied Fugard’s plays have been examined to identify the gaps that the study can fill. According to Nyamdi( 2006) Africa’s literature has organic link with the African society so that it reflects and settles a pathfinder’s role on this literature. He adds that Africa goes where its literature takes it. This observation presupposes that the African writer has a great role in the education and re-education of his/her people. Indeed retrospection in African literature is not just reproduction of African history; it is writers’ artistic techniques of moving away from the real to the ideal. Out of the raw materials of history the African writer constructs for us fictions; in so doing they create patterns of meaning out the jumble of fragmentations and chaos that the African reality presents. Through his/her creative imagination a writer aims at persuading his/her reader to view not only a kind of reality, but more important from a certain angle and perspective, a certain vision, though perhaps unconsciously.

  • A Critical Analysis of Athol Fugard's Social Vision in Four Selected Plays
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 4 No.1 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2014 A Critical Analysis of Athol Fugard’s Social Vision in Four Selected Plays Mwihia Margaret Njoki Mount Kenya University Email: [email protected] Dr. Collins Ogogo Mount Kenya University Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n1p63 Abstract Literature is a product of the writer’s artistic imagination. The writer accurately observes the happenings in his/her society, both contemporary, and historical and communicates to the readers through use of vivid imagination and creative use of language. His/her her aim is to communicate and have an aesthetic impact upon the reader. Writers, thus fuse history in their creative works. Indeed, literature gets shape and direction from society. The shape is derived from society’s experiences in terms of the raw experiences of the society. These raw experiences also dictate the kind of literature; in terms of the techniques and styles that the writer uses to communicate his/her vision. Though a writer may present the realities of his/her society, such realities cannot be fully objective. Literature is fiction; it presents a writer’s perspective and perception of a society’s realities. Thus writers aim at persuading the readers to take a certain attitude towards the realities. What they present is a slice of life; a selected paradigm of the realities. South African literature was mainly shaped by the experiences of black South African; the experiences arising out of the system of Apartheid. However different writers present different perception on the psychological and physical effects of this racist system that dehumanized the black people.

  • Doing It for Athol: Representation and Appropriation in My Life ^
    Doing It for Athol: Representation and appropriation in My Life ^ Mary West School of Languages University of Port Elizabeth PORT ELIZABETH E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Doing It for Athol: Representation and appropriation in My Life Athol Fugard has spoken o f his need to start again, as an artist. This new beginning is manifest in the two plays published jointly in 1996, My Life & Valley Song. The focus o f this article is My Life, an innovative workshopped piece, involving five young women between the ages offifteen and twenty-one, who offer a selection o f "Images and stories from [their] personal biographies" - sub-title o f the play. The stories that emerge in the text, I have argued, are not the ones that could have or would have emerged had the actors not been prompted and directed by Fugard. To justify this position a number o f questions have been raised: Why did Fugard choose an all-female cast? Why are the actors all so young? What effect did the facilitator have on the actors ’ willingness to share their stories? How are the concerns o f race and gender treated? How are (self-)censorship and (auto-)biography to be understood in terms o f the stories told? Fugard has claim­ ed that he did not write this play, that the words and stories come from the actors themselves. The validity o f this claim is examined in the light o f these questions, and the politics o f representation and o f authorship are central to the argument.

  • Manichean and Dichotomous Opposites in Athol Fugard's Blood Knot
    ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 6, No. 6, pp. 1225-1231, November 2015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/jltr.0606.09 Manichean and Dichotomous Opposites in Athol Fugard's Blood Knot Shunayfaa Mohammed Al-Qarni Department of English, College of Languages and Translation, King Khalid University, Abha, K.S.A. Abstract—This study undertakes an investigation of Fugard’s scathing condemnation of apartheid in his Blood Knot. Despite, his white skin, Fugard adopts a humanistic approach towards the oppressed South African natives who undergo dichotomous opposites in their pursuit for real selfhood and identity within a segregating millieu. His two protagonists Zach and Morrie fall within a dialectic endless cycle of reveral of roles between the ‘Self‘ and the ‘Other.’ Fugard attempts to find a possibility of survival and a new resistant image of the ‘Self’ that can step courageously on the way of change and independence in a world that is devoid rationalization. This personal resistance will turn by time to be a collective one that exmplifies Fugard's universal message. Index Terms—apartheid, Fugard, self, other, dichotomous, identity I. INTRODUCTION Harold Athol Fugard is one of themost renowned anti-apartheid South African playwrights. He was born in Middelburg, South Africa, on June 11, 1932 to an Afrikaner mother and a disabled former jazz pianist father. Among his most significant works in which he attacks the apartheid aggressive system and advocate strongly for man's rights are The Blood Knot (1961), later revised and entitled Blood Knot(1987), Boesman and Lena (1969), A Lesson from Aloes (1981), The Island (1972), and 'Master Harold' andthe Boys (1982).
