Die laserskyf met beide hierdie insette is beskikbaar by die Sekretaris, gegewens links onder in hierdie blad aangedui. Mnr Jaap Marais w as ‘n besonder begaafde man met ‘n verstand wat wyduiteenlopend kon onderskei op elke gebied waarin hy ‘n opinie moes aanbied. So was daar tevore reeds na vyf verskillende aspekte van sy bekwaamheidsvelde gekyk in die vyf vorige gedenklesings. “Dr Gregan het na hom gekyk as Afrikanernasionalis. Prof Adriaan Pont het na hom as Jaap Marais die m ens , gekyk. Mnr Willie Marais het hom as parlementariër beskryf. Prof HG vd Westhuizen het na mnr Jaap Marais as geloofsman gekyk. En mnr Meinhard Peters het mnr Marais as idealis in die Afrikanerpolitiek beskryf,” het mnr Varkevisser gesê. “Elkeen van hierdie gedenklesings is die gevolg van Jaap Marais se besondere begaafdheid, asook boeiende en opheffende leesstof waaruit die leser inspirasie put van ‘n man wat by uitstek uitgetroon het as ‘n waardige nasionalistiese leier. Daarom vind ek dit nodig om na Jaap Marais te kyk as Volksleier, ‘n volksleier waarvan die diepte tot vandag nog nie gemeet is nie!” Mnr Varkevisser het mnr Marais se waardevolle bydrae tot die perspektief in die handhawing van beginsels, ook op Godsdienstige vlak, op ‘n uitstekende wyse blootgelê, en die suiwer sieninge wat mnr Marais as Volksleier uitgeleef het weer laat herleef.

BOODSKAP VAN DIE LEIER Mnr Danie Varkevisser Aan die einde van ‘n jaar is daar altyd twee sake wat sekerlik vir elke mens van besondere betekenis is. Eerstens dit wat nou as geskiedenis agter jou lê, en dan wat die nuwe jaar vir jou inhou. Met ‘n terugblik oor die jaar wat sy einde nader kom die wysheid van president Paul Kruger by ‘n mens op om in voorbereiding vir die nuwe jaar wat voorlê, dít te neem uit die verlede wat goed was, en jou toekoms d áárop te bou. Ná deeglike politieke terugskouing was wat die mening toegedaan is dat Afrikanerleiers se “slim” akademiese en die eerste gedagte wat by my opgekom onderhandeling en toegewings, bv. in staatkundige oplossings deur middel van het Job van die Bybel se versugting: terme van “grondhervorming”, kompromie en onderhandeling, vorm ‘n “Sal ek die goeie uit die hand van die welwillendheid by die Swartes sal bewerk, effektiewe versperring na Afrikaner- HERE ontvang en nie ook die slegte leef in ‘n droomwêreld wat ver verwyder is eendragtigheid.

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.
  • A Comparative Study of Zimbabwe and South Africa

    A Comparative Study of Zimbabwe and South Africa

    FACEBOOK, YOUTH AND POLITICAL ACTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES, RHODES UNIVERSITY by Admire Mare September 2015 ABSTRACT This comparative multi-sited study examines how, why and when politically engaged youths in distinctive national and social movement contexts use Facebook to facilitate political activism. As part of the research objectives, this study is concerned with investigating how and why youth activists in Zimbabwe and South Africa use the popular corporate social network site for political purposes. The study explores the discursive interactions and micro- politics of participation which plays out on selected Facebook groups and pages. It also examines the extent to which the selected Facebook pages and groups can be considered as alternative spaces for political activism. It also documents and analyses the various kinds of political discourses (described here as digital hidden transcripts) which are circulated by Zimbabwean and South African youth activists on Facebook fan pages and groups. Methodologically, this study adopts a predominantly qualitative research design although it also draws on quantitative data in terms of levels of interaction on Facebook groups and pages. Consequently, this study engages in data triangulation which allows me to make sense of how and why politically engaged youths from a range of six social movements in Zimbabwe and South Africa use Facebook for political action. In terms of data collection techniques, the study deploys social media ethnography (online participant observation), qualitative content analysis and in-depth interviews.

    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society.

Signature:…………………….. Date:………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The use of military force to suppress internal unrest has been an integral part of South African history. The European colonisation of South Africa from 1652 was facilitated by the use of force. Boer commandos and British military regiments and volunteer units enforced the peace in outlying areas and fought against the indigenous population as did other colonial powers such as France in North Africa and Germany in German South West Africa, to name but a few. The period 1912 to 1945 is no exception, but with the difference that military force was used to suppress uprisings of white citizens as well. White industrial workers experienced this military suppression in 1907, 1913, 1914 and 1922 when they went on strike. Job insecurity and wages were the main causes of the strikes and militant actions from the strikers forced the government to use military force when the police failed to maintain law and order.

Conclusion . 119 Notes ..............................................131 Index ..............................................135 1 Introduction On 8 January 2012 the African National Congress (ANC) celebrated its centenary in Bloemfontein, the city in which it had been founded. By early morning the streets of the city thronged with ANC supporters. When the gates of Free State Stadium were opened, almost 50,000 citizens quickly filled the stands, ready to enjoy a day of food, speech-making and political theatre. For most of those present, the event was a celebration of a remarkable political movement that had survived a century of repression and exile, and emerged as the natural party of post-apartheid government. ANC leaders in Bloemfontein indulged in more than a moment of self-satisfaction about the capacity of their movement to scale seemingly insuperable obstacles. Three hundred years of white supremacy and segregation culminated, in the second half of the last century, in institutionalised apartheid and the 1 forced relocation of Africans to Bantustans. In the eyes of its champions, the ANC has now begun the long process of remaking this troubled society. It has used its electoral mandate to take unpopular but necessary decisions; it has provided housing, water, sanitation and electricity to millions of citizens; it has created a new system of government out of the disorder of late apartheid; and it has ameliorated the racial and ethnic tensions that are an inevitable consequence of such a tumultuous political history.
  • Prague Papers on International Relations

    Prague Papers on International Relations

    Divided union: South African nationalist opposition from 1939 to 1943 Mikuláš Touška1 ABSTRACT South Africa’s participation in World War II was accompanied by a specific and, to some extent, par- adoxical development. The declaration of war on Germany alongside Great Britain and other domin- ions was preceded by a government crisis that resulted in the collapse of Hertzog’s cabinet. The new coalition government led by Hertzog’s long-time political rival Jan Smuts had to face strong nation- alist opposition. This opposition supported by Nazi Germany was extensive but fragmented, causing it to be defeated in the 1943 elections. However, this defeat led to a paradoxical result. The ultra-con- servative and fiercely anti-British politician D.F. Malan became the undisputed leader of the oppo- sition and capitalized on his position to clinch an electoral victory in 1948. The goal of this paper is to identify the reasons for this paradoxical development based on the analysis of both the activities of various opposition groups and personal animosities among their leaders. The analysis is based on the existing literature as well as on archival materials, in particular the reports of South African counterintelligence. KEYWORDS Union of South Africa, Second World War, United Party, National Party, Afrikaner Party, James Barry Munnik Hertzog, Jan Christiaan Smuts, Daniel François Malan. “WHITE UNITY” The period after 1910 until the mid-30s in the Union’s political development is char- acterized by Afrikaners’ rising influence. Although English-speaking white South Africans represented about 40 percent of the Union’s white population, their impact on politics gradually declined as they focused mainly on the economy.2 It should be noted that there was no “British” political party on the South African political scene that might have constituted an adequate rival to the Afrikaner nationalists.
