Our country emerged from decades of bitter conflict, arising from centuries of colonial occupation and exploitation, and through a major and sustained effort, achieved and maintained a stable, progressive, people-centred democratic order. We could not have reached these goals alone and without the help and support of those members of international community, who supported our exiles, sustained cultural and economic pressures on the apartheid regime and who campaigned ceaselessly to keep the plight of the oppressed peoples of South Africa in the world spotlight. The Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement was in the forefront of the struggle. For this reason I am delighted to express my support for the African Skies Project which brings to South Africa the audio-visual collections of the Anti-Apartheid Movement of the Netherlands. This gesture encapsulates the spirit of solidarity we have always known and appreciated from our comrades and colleagues in the Netherlands and helps to further cement the longstanding ties that bind us. It is also a most significant gesture as South Africa and many other countries lobby in international forums for the issue of the restitution of cultural property to be regarded with the seriousness that it deserves. This material set out in this catalogue will be kept for posterity in the National Film Video and Sound Archives of South Africa and made available to all who wish to research our rich and inspiring history.

It is yet another mark of the solidarity between our two countries and is also a mark of respect for the intellectual integrity of South Africa, and of the artists and cultural activists and workers who were involved in the original project. The Department of Arts and Culture is committed to ensuring the restitution of cultural property, respect for the intellectual property (and indigenous knowledge) rights inherent in the cultural property concerned and also to ensuring the long term preservation and open access to the materials returned. During the month of September 2004, the Heritage Month in the tenth year of our democracy, a number of activities will take place that demonstrate our commitment to this issue. The African Skies Project will see the return of material from the Netherlands. South Africa will also return archival and library material to Namibia in a demonstration of its own commitment to righting the injustices perpetrated by the previous regime when it was the illegal colonial ruler of Namibia. These activities will encourage artists and activists to seriously consider presenting their material to the National Archives and other institutions to ensure their long term preservation and accessibility. We are very honoured that Miriam Makeba, one of the musical icons of Africa, has signed a declaration of intent with the Minister of Arts and Culture in which she undertakes to deposit her collections with the National Film Video and Sound Archives. On 16 July 2004, The National Archives and the South African Broadcasting Corporation teamed up to mark the forty-first anniversary

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

  • UNSUNG: South African Jazz Musicians Under Apartheidunsung

  • I a CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
    i A CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THULAMELA HERITAGE SITE by TSHIMANGADZO ISRAEL NEMAHENI Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA HERITAGE AND MUSEUM STUDIES (COURSE WORK) In the Faculty of Arts University of Pretoria Pretoria August 2003 Supervisor: Ms M. Van Heerden Co-leader: Dr. R.C. de Jong © University of Pretoria ii SUMMARY A CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THULAMELA HERITAGE SITE. STUDENT: Tshimangadzo Israel Nemaheni STUDY LEADER: Ms M. van Heerden CO-LEADER: Dr. R. C. de Jong DEPARTMENT: Historical and Heritage Studies DEGREE: MA Heritage and Museum Studies-Coursework This mini-thesis serves as an introduction to the drawing up of a Cultural Resource Management (CRM) plan for Thulamela Heritage Site in the Kruger National Park. It is envisaged that this will be a strategy by which Thulamela heritage resources (including natural and cultural elements) will be identified, their significance assessed, and interpretations constructed to guide their conservation and presentation in a manner that is consistent with their availability for public appreciation or enjoyment. Thulamela Project involves the process of locating, assessing, and dealing appropriately with the Thulamela heritage resources which are represented by the physical manifestation of humanity’s interaction with the natural world around the site and surrounding landscape of Thulamela. This thesis will serve as a guideline towards designing a CRM plan for Thulamela Heritage Site that will be practical. Most of the issues here are management plan issues that the KNP should start implementing iii in order to preserve and conserve the site for future generations.

  • Abdullah Ibrahim and the Politics of Jazz in South Africa Nusra Khan Jazz Has Had an Especial Role in the Social and Cultural Politics of South Africa
    Abdullah Ibrahim and the Politics of Jazz in South Africa Nusra Khan Jazz has had an especial role in the social and cultural politics of South Africa. This paper will trace its function in the political struggle waged by Black and Colored musicians against the apartheid regime, from the early 1950s until the 1990s, focusing on the work of one artist particularly. While Abdullah Ibrahim is by no means the only South African musician to use jazz for political goals, the development of his career provides an incredible example of the convergence of race, protest, and memory in the performance as well as study of jazz. Ibrahim’s musical career is entrenched in South Africa’s struggle against apartheid, and it is through this lens that I will examine his life and the role of jazz music in general. As early as the 1940s, jazz had emerged as the favored genre of the elite in South Africa. Professional musicians preferred American ‘international’ performance styles, and only a few African jazz musicians brought anything identifiably South African to their performances of American swing. The negative association between traditional African music and the ‘tribal’ past or rural present was begun by missionaries and had become entrenched in African society, most obviously under the Afrikaner’s government’s policy of “forcing Africans to develop along their own lines1”. Like the leaders of the American Harlem Renaissance, the African elite hoped that achievements in the artistic and intellectual fields would help break down the color bar2. Indeed the similar experience of Black Americans and Africans, of “two peoples under white domination,”3 may have increased the appeal of Black American style in amongst South African performers.

  • The Making of an African Working Class
    THE MAKING OF AN AFRICAN WORKING CLASS THE MAKING OF AN AFRICAN WORKING CLASS PORT ELIZABETH 1925 - 1963 JANET MARY CHERRY THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN JANUARY 1992 Abstract The thesis examines the 'making' of an african working class in Port Elizabeth. It offers an alternative interpretation to conventional histories which emphasize continuity both in the idea of a strong industrial working class, and in a tradition of militant and effective worker organisation. At the same time it posits the idea that there was a working-class movement which developed among Port Elizabeth's african community in the late 1940's and 1950's. Chapter 1 examines population growth in Port Elizabeth, the growth of secondary industry, and employment opportunities for africans. It is argued that limited opportunities for african employment in secondary industry affected the forms of working-class organisation that emerged. Chapter 2 examines the situation of the urban african population in the 1920's and 1930's, looking at factors which influenced its organisation and consciousness. The low wages paid to african workers were not challenged effectively in this period by the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union which had declined by the mid-1 920's, or the Trades and Labour Council which did not organise african workers. However, the permanently urbanised status of the majority of the african population laid the basis for a militant community consciousness. Chapter 3 analyses attempts to organise african workers during the Second World War. It focusses on Wage Board determinations, the first african trade unions formed by the Ballingers and Max Gordon, the organisation of the Council of Non-European Trade Unions and the Trades and Labour Council, and the organisation of railway workers.

  • Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: the Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa
    VOL. 42, NO. 1 ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WINTER 1998 Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: The Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa INGRID BIANCA BYERLY DUKE UNIVERSITY his article explores a movement of creative initiative, from 1960 to T 1990, that greatly influenced the course of history in South Africa.1 It is a movement which holds a deep affiliation for me, not merely through an extended submersion and profound interest in it, but also because of the co-incidence of its timing with my life in South Africa. On the fateful day of the bloody Sharpeville march on 21 March 1960, I was celebrating my first birthday in a peaceful coastal town in the Cape Province. Three decades later, on the weekend of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in February 1990, I was preparing to leave for the United States to further my studies in the social theories that lay at the base of the remarkable musical movement that had long engaged me. This musical phenomenon therefore spans exactly the three decades of my early life in South Africa. I feel privi- leged to have experienced its development—not only through growing up in the center of this musical moment, but particularly through a deepen- ing interest, and consequently, an active participation in its peak during the mid-1980s. I call this movement the Music Indaba, for it involved all sec- tors of the complex South African society, and provided a leading site within which the dilemmas of the late-apartheid era could be explored and re- solved, particularly issues concerning identity, communication and social change.
