BOX 97 JOHANNESBURG JANUARY 1976 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Very grateful thanks are expressed to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which made a handsome grant to the Race Relations Research and Library Trust. The Trustees of this Trust decided to allocate the major portion of the grant towards the costs of producing this issue of the Survey of Race Relations. Dr. Ellen Hellmann again gave generously of her time and knowledge by reading the manuscript and making constructive suggestions. Mrs. Ann Honeywill once more checked the proofs with meticulous care. Mrs. Renata Walker and Mrs. Connie Matthews again kept Press cuttings, checked material, and did the typing. The main load of this work was cheerfully undertaken by Mrs. Walker, because of the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Matthews during the latter part of the year. Yet again, members of the Institute's library, publications, and administrative staff gave much help. The writers express their very sincere gratitude to all of these colleagues. Grateful thanks are given, too, to Mrs. Edna Grek, who collected material on health and welfare matters; and to Members of Parliament of various parties, government and municipal officials, and others who contributed information. The writers are appreciative of the co-operation again given by the staff of the printing firm, The Natal Witness (Pty) Ltd. NOTE This Survey is stated to be for the year 1975. As it was wished t have it published early in the new year, however, it was impossible to include mention of events that took place during the last few Weeks of the year. This will be done in the next issue. All dates mentioned refer to the year 1975 unless otherwise stated. Printed by THE NATAL WITNESS (PTY) LTD 244 Longmarket Street, Pietermaritzburg, Natal.

  • Multilingualism in the Fet Band Schools of Polokwane Area, a Myth Or a Reality
    MULTILINGUALISM IN THE FET BAND SCHOOLS OF POLOKWANE AREA, A MYTH OR A REALITY BY MOGODI NTSOANE (2002O8445) SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE; MASTER OF EDUCATION IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SUPERVISOR: MONA M.J (MR.) UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO PRIVATE BAG X 1106 SOVENGA 0727 LIMPOPO PROVINCE SOUTH AFRICA CHAPTER ONE 1.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LANGUAGE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA Extract Language prejudice is of two types: positive and negative. Negative prejudice is image effacing. It is characterized by negative evaluation of one’s own language or speech patterns and a preference for someone else’s. An example of this kind of self- -denigration is the case of David Christiaan, the Nama Chief in Namibia, who, in response to the Dutch missionaries’ attempt to open schools that would conduct their teaching using Nama as a medium of instruction, is reported to have shouted, “Only Dutch, Dutch only! I despise myself and I want to hide in the bush when I am talking my Hottentot language” (Vedder, 1981: 275 as quoted in Ohly, 1992:65. In Ambrose, et al (eds.) undated: 15). 1.1.1 Introduction The South African Constitution (1996) and the Language-in-Education Policy (1997) have declared the eleven languages spoken in the country as official. Despite this directive, it remains questionable when it comes to the issue of the language of instruction and indigenous languages in schools. In most cases, the language of instruction becomes an issue with new governments that come into offices in countries that are multilingual.

  • True Confessions, End Papers and the Dakar Conference
    Hermann Giliomee True Confessions, End Papers and Hermann Giliomee was Professor of the Dakar conference: A review of Political Studies at the University of Cape Town and is presently Professor the political arguments Extraordinary at the History Department, University of Stellenbosch. E-mail: [email protected] True Confessions, End Papers and the Dakar conference: A review of the political arguments As a social critic Breyten Breytenbach published two books of political commentary and political analysis during the mid-1980s without the opportunity of engaging with commentators at home. While True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist is part autobiography and part searing comment on prison life, End Papers is a more detached dissection of the major political and cultural issues confronting South Africa. Breytenbach was now one of the respected international voices on the political crisis in South Africa. The violent break-up of apartheid had changed Breytenbach’s social criticism. In the place of the earlier rejection and denunciation had come a willingness to engage and reason with his audience. The Dakar conference of 1987, which Breytenbach co-organised, offered an ideal opportunity for this. The conference was given wide publicity and was seen by some as the catalyst that broke the ice for the negotiations between the government and the ANC two and a half years later. Key words: Afrikaans literature, Dakar conference, National Party, African National Congress, South Africa, violence, negotiations. Introduction Shortly after being released from jail in 1982 Breyten Breytenbach published two non-fiction books, The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist (1984) and End Papers (1986).

ISBN 99916/30/10/4 49 AN ASSESSMENf OF FOOD SECURITY IN SOUTH AFRICA G K Coetzee and J van Zyl INTRODUCTION The economic disparity between white and black South Africa is most clearly observable in the agricultural sector (FI!nyes et al., 1988). The commercial farming sector is dominated by whites as regards ownership, while the subsistence sector consists mainly of black families on traditional communal holdings. Some authors refer to this phenomenon as a dual economic system, consisting of both first and third world economies (Groenewald, 1987). However, the South African economy (including agriculture) functions as an integrated system within a relatively small common market (Van Zyl & Groenewald, 1988). The existing distribution of access to resources, inputs and markets in agriculture between races is highly inequitable due to a number of barriers of a physical and institutional nature (Fen yes et al., 1988).

  • South Africa
    <*x>&&<>Q&$>ee$>Q4><><>&&i<>4><><i^^ South Africa UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA HE political tension of the previous three years in the Union of South TAfrica (see articles on South Africa in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, Vols. 51, 52 and 53) broke, during the period under review, into a major constitutional crisis. A struggle began between the legislature and the judi- ciary over the "entrenched clauses" of the South Africa Act, which estab- lished the Union, and over the validity of a law passed last year by Daniel Francois Malan's Nationalist Government to restrict the franchise of "Col- ored" voters in Cape Province in contravention of these provisions. Simul- taneously, non-European (nonwhite) representative bodies started a passive resistance campaign against racially discriminatory legislation enacted by the present and previous South African governments. Resulting unsettled condi- tions in the country combined with world-wide economic trends to produce signs of economic contraction in the Union. The developing political and racial crisis brought foreign correspondents to report at first hand upon conditions in South Africa. Not all their reports were objective: some were characterized by exaggeration and distortion, and some by incorrect data. This applied particularly to charges of Nationalist anti-Semitism made in some reports. E. J. Horwitz, chairman of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (central representative body of South Afri- can Jewry) in an interview published in Die Transvaler of May 16, 1952, specifically refuted as "devoid of all truth" allegations of such anti-Semitism, made on May 5, 1952, in the American news magazine Time.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

A renewed sense of optimism has provided a much-needed boost to confidence and investment. The economic outlook has improved. And government has expressed a new resolve to strengthen policy coordination. Yet this positive turn of events should not blind us to the enormous economic and fiscal challenges facing our country. Economic growth is far too low to reduce alarmingly high unemployment and inequality. Revenue collection, on which government depends to fund social and economic spending programmes, will fall short of projections by R48.2 billion in 2017/18. The finances of several state- owned companies are in a precarious state. The 2017 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) pointed out that extraordinary measures would be needed to stabilise the public finances. Without such measures, we would only delay the debt reckoning, and a growing share of spending would be absorbed by interest payments. The 2018 Budget proposals address these concerns with resolve.

  • Global and International Studies Satisfy Requirements for Both the Major and Minor in Global and International Studies
    The following list is a comprehensive survey of undergraduate courses offered at IUPUI that Global and International Studies satisfy requirements for both the major and minor in Global and International Studies. Courses Course Offerings List are grouped by general requirements, modern language requirements, regional/area concen- Summer 2016 trations, and thematic concentrations. • Students may take up to 6 credit hours of I415 Independent Study, but no more than 3 credits in any specific concentration. • Courses that are cross-listed under more than one regional and/or thematic concentration may only be counted towards one. • Classes marked with an * are variable subtitle offerings, courses listed under the same number that cover distinct subjects (such as Anthropology A460). Your transcript will indicate a different title each time the course is completed. Students may therefore take multiple courses listed under the same number, but can only count that course toward the regional or thematic concentration under which it’s listed here. • If students have questions about a course offered that is not on this list, please contact Dr. Michael Snodgrass ([email protected]) or Penny Saltsman ([email protected]). The list will be updated periodically as new courses are added, dropped, or cancelled due to circumstances beyond the control of Global & International Studies. • NOTE: Highlighted courses are being offered during the indicated semester (for the most up-to-date information, search for courses in SIS).
