DR Z MP The celebration of the tenth anniversary of the attainment of democracy in South Africa has been a major milestone for our country and for the freedom-loving peoples of the world. 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.

Restitution and Repatriation of South African and Struggle-related Archival material Dr Graham Dominy National Archivist National Archives of South Africa The gesture of the Netherlands in returning the audio-visual material produced by the Dutch Anti-Apartheid movement to South Africa is much appreciated by all South Africans. 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 , 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 of the evidence Miriam Makeba gave to the United Nations Anti-Apartheid Committee in New York. This marked the first occasion that filmed footage of this historic event had been seen publicly and the National Film Video and Sound Archives is proud to have this material in it's custody. It is hoped that this will mark the first step in a growing relationship with the United Nations that may result in the copying or sharing of all the anti-apartheid material held by the world body. The struggle against apartheid was an international struggle, and while it is key to the , it is also an integral part of the history of the countries and communities who stood together to fight the racist system. Who would deny that Mahatma Gandhi is a great figure whose historical importance is shared by both India and South Africa? The present Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark began her political career as a student activist in the demonstrations against Springbok Rugby tours of New Zealand. This too indicates that the fight against racism had universal as well as particular dimensions. For these reasons it is our policy to seek to collaborate with governments, collectives and former activists in locating, identifying and cataloguing historical material relating to the anti-apartheid struggle. The issues are complex and therefore a collaborative approach is the most likely one to achieve results. There are technical issues relating to the preservation and digitizing of material, but they are not the most important issues. The intellectual property rights of the creators are important to acknowledge and these must be balanced against the right of the public to know their history and to have access to this vitally imprint material. The National Archives and Records Service of South Africa is part of the national Department of Arts and Culture. One of its components is the National Film Video and Sound Archives, which is specially tasked with the preservation of the audio-visual history of the country. The Film Archives applies both the National Archives Act and the Legal Deposit Act and the latter act empowers it to receive a copy of each audio-visual production broadcast in South Africa and to seek that material about South Africa broadcast elsewhere. The National Archives also manages and operates a website (www.national.archives.gov.za) and the electronic databases known as NAAIRS (the National Archival Automated Information Retrieval System). These include NAREM (the National Register of Manuscripts)and NAROS (the National Register of Oral Sources). Institutions outside the National Archives participate in providing information for these databases and are linked to NAAIRS. Thus, even though it may sometimes be more appropriate for a university or a regional museum or library to collect material and preserve it, through NAAIRS it can be registered nationally and its references accessed internationally on the web. We are glad that we have been able to participate in the African Skies Project and we look forward to making this exciting new material known to the South African public.

Photographer Unknown Image copyright African Skies John Matshikiza INTRODUCTION: a political imperative with an overt cultural agenda. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times... w The transfer of the video archives of the Anti-Apartheid Movement of the Netherlands (AABN) to South Africa marks a watershed in the relationship between that organisation and the country that it was so long associated witha relationship conducted in many ways, over many ways, at arm's length, as it were. The video archive, meticulously catalogued over several years during the post- apartheid era by former members of the AABN, is a living testament to an extraordinary period of activism and commitment. "African Skies" is a unique documentation, captured on video, of the high points and low points (but mostly the "high" ones) of what seemed, at the time, to be a struggle for the triumph of hope over despondency, good over evil, life over death, right over wrong. "African Skies" tells the story of the struggle against apartheid in one tiny corner of the worida comer that, nevertheless, made all the difference to how that struggle, against all the odds, was finally crowned with success. It is a testament not only to a solidarity movement's success in mobilising many sectors of Dutch society, particularly artists and cultural activists, in the battle to overcome the horrors of apartheid; it is also a chronicle of solidarity in action. The archive is made up of video material filmed both by Dutch filmmakers and the film unit of the African National Congress. Together, they recorded over a period of more than twenty years a lasting documentation of an all-embracing, ever-changing series of strategies for transformation. As a documentary resource, the archive's 189 hours of collective memory will be an invaluable tool for reanalysing the many processes of the struggle against apartheid. Students, researchers, and ordinary people alike will be able to understand a period that could all too easily be forgottena period of engagement that came to an end only a decade ago. The archive gives insight into both the public and personal sides of the involvement of the many involvedtheir tireless efforts to convince a sceptical or uninterested body of world opinion, and their ultimate triumph with the release of and all other political prisoners, and the re-entry of the pariah state into the mainstream of world affairs. wit was the best of times; it was the worst of times..." No one said that the struggle was going to be an easy ride. But in the process of achieving a hard-won liberation that embraced all those who engaged in it, the good, the bad and the ugly, the exiles and the fighters who slugged it out at home, the Dutch activists, artists, politicians and ordinary people touched by the message contained in AFRICAN SKIES, the path towards final victory was strewn in equal part with pain and pleasurethe worst of times tempered by days and nights of celebration, and a sense of camaraderie that could not have been found elsewhere in any of ourdaily lives. The "African Skies" video archive gives testimony to some of the many processes that were entered into in the struggle for liberation in South Africa, and indeed to the associated liberation struggles in other parts of Southern Africa. It is also a testament to what those liberation struggles achieved in bringing about a new world order. In this regard, the archive is a vital receptacle of memory fora critical period in world history. In 1971, when the Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement was formed as a new development from previous solidarity activities conducted by the Committee Zuid Afrika and other Dutch solidarity movements, the prospects for liberation seemed unspeakably distant. Nelson Mandela and his colleagues arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in the infamous were all but forgotten prisoners on Robben Island. The task was to keep their memory alive, and to use their image as a rallying point for action against a regime that showed every intention of digging in its heels and defying all the tenets of world moral opinion. Human history had undergone a series of extraordinary transformations. The Second World War, in which Dutch resistance movements had played an extraordinary and decisive part, had brought a halt to the rise of fascism in Europe. A new day had dawned in how human relations were to be conducted. The aftermath of that terrible conflagration had given rise to an anti-colonial upsurge across the Third World, and was soon to see the birth of independence from colonial rule in India, followed by successive victories for self-determination in many other parts of the worldparticularly in Africa. Kenya saw the so-called Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s, leading to independence in the early 1960s. Ghana had led the way earlier, rejoicing in the elevation of Kwame Nkrumah to the role of prime minister in the late 1950s. , Mali, Guinea, Nigeria, Tanganyika (later the United Republic of Tanzania) and countless others were soon to follow suit. Africa was finally able to shake free the shackles of slavery and domination, and attempted to take its place in the pantheon of nation states across the globe. Southern Africa, in the 1970s, remained an anomaly in the face of this growing tide of change. The remnants of racial domination, white over black, European "civilisation" overAfrican culture and self-determination, the very issues of land ownership, education into the needs of a rapidly changing world, health, life and liberty, were all frozen in a time warp of greed, intolerance and segregation maintained by brute force, stealth and violence. While the Western world paid lip service to winds of change blowing through the colonised world, it continued to give tacit support to oppressive regimes in the southern hemisphereparticularly in South Africa, the last bastion of a purported Western civilisation. Holland was no exception. In spite of its hard-won liberation from the fascist threat, many of its political leaders saw no contradiction in continuing to support oppression in its former economic and emotional fiefdom of South Africa. But the spirit of humanity and liberation was deeply embedded in many other areas of Dutch society. It could be said that the relationship between Holland and South Africa went back many centuries--going back, indeed, to the distant history of Jan van Riebeeck and the that had employed him to establish a first foothold on the southern tip of the African continent. Van Riebeeck was not necessarily a hero lodged deep inside the psyche of contemporary Hollanders. But his impact, and that of the company he represented (a forerunner of modern techniques of globalisation) had far reaching consequences for the relationship between Southern Africa and the Netherlands. There was a sense of complicity and responsibility here, for those who cared to identify it. And it was this, in part, that guided the spirit of the movement. The AABN's dedication to the struggle for freedom in South Africa could not be separated from the internal politics of the Netherlands. It became a relatively simple issue of "right" versus "wrong." Leaders of Dutch political opinion had to be forced to take a stand, and thereby define where they stood in relation to that country's moral standards. Was it right to argue forfreedom of expression and self-determination in one of the world's most liberal democracies, and at the same time ignore the human rights of millions of people in other parts of the world, simply on the basis of skin colour? The connection between the moral imperative expressed between the activists of the Dutch Anti-Apartheid movement and the liberation fighters of Southern Africa became unavoidable. It was no longer enough simply to express solidarity. A multi-pronged approach to these moral and political imperatives became a necessity. On a local level, leaders of Dutch opinion had to be relentlessly pursued to take a necessary political position, putting pressure on an all-too- complicit relationship with the demon of apartheid, and public opnion had to be conscientised. On an international level, overt and covert means of supporting a manifestly just struggle had to be identified, strategised, and mobilised. "African Skies" is a collective assemblage of just some of the activities that brought all of these strategies together. The archive, mostly filmed and assembled in Holland, and now lodged as a historical resource in South Africa, is a vivid recollection of more than two decades of passionate struggle-the good times and the bad times, the moments of transcendance, the mass mobilisations, the times of personal and public confrontation played out before the all-seeing eye of the mass media, the moments of self-doubt overcome by a fierce and justified determination, the muscular musicality and sheer poetry of a universal belief in life, and a conviction that victory against the forces of evil was certain. It is, above all, a visualised testament to the enduring value of sheer hard work, commitment, and a collective belief in a shared goal of public and personal liberation. FROM 'MAYIBUYE' TO 'CASA': tiptoeing into the fray It is 1975-as far back as that. The Rivonia Trial of more than a decade ago is still a vivid memory, and the liberation movement is mobilised around the enduring symbol of its jailed leaders-still defiant and a loud rallying symbol in spite of the shroud of silence of their enforced captivity. We are among many who have been inspired, obligated, bamboozled and cajoled into a new sense of commitment to an increasingly volatile and perilous with the issues of liberation of our motherland. Many of us have been exiled, or have exiled ourselves. New strategies are called for, and some of them are destined to beara strange and unexpected kind of fruit. Church groups and other cultural and political formations, mostly to the left of the political spectrum, began to express concern and indignation at what were demonstrably unjust systems of government and control. Something had to be done. Somewhere along the line someone has mentioned the critical importance of the arts, culture and music as both a weapon of the struggle and a natural expression of the vibrant personality of South Africa. One conversation leads to another. Strategising meetings are held in Amsterdam and . As a young drama student, I am approached by Barry Feinberg and (the latter now a senior member of the South African cabinet) to meet to talk about the possibility of assembling a performance of freedom songs, poetry and historical/political narration to present as a propaganda tool of sorts at a small theatre in Amsterdam. It is an exciting idea. A small core of people - Feinberg, Kasrils, Billy Nannan, Melody Mtezuka, Zarina Karim and myself - gather at sporadic intervals in each others' London apartments and start to pull the material together. The sources are abundant, starting with a newly assembled collection of freedom poetry edited by Barry Feinberg called "Poets to the People." This will be our core text. And finding the freedom songs to accompany these is relatively easy. At every ANC and anti-apartheid meeting in London the stock repertoire of music for liberation has been learned till it becomes almost second nature. The interesting challenge is to re-learn them to give them a different significance to an untested audience. We, too, are an untested and unlikely cultural unit coming from backgrounds in teaching, mathematics, high finance, the raw frontiers of a stumbling guerrilla struggle, and a dewy eyed passion for the world of classical drama. Learning to sing in tune and move in step with the rhythms of the music is to prove to be a challenge in itself. We give our group the name "Mayibuye" - "may it (our collective motherland) come back to us." And we board a plane and fly off to an unknown future. Naturally we assumed that this would be a one-off event - a passionate but somewhat amateurish performance on the tiny stage of a tiny theatre called de Engelenbak (box of angels, appropriately) right in the heart of Amsterdam. The response is electric and electrifying. And we are also beginning to discover the charms of Amsterdam, and the direct and helpfully critical points of view of the audiences who come to see us. What was to be a one-off occasion becomes a long and intense love affair. We return repeatedly to Amsterdam. The doors of the Koopmansbeurs, the closed and stuffy stock exchange which for so many centuries represented the unacceptable side of the exploitative relationship between Holland and the southern tip of Africa are thrown open to us. We sing "Hey, Blaar Coetzee" and "Nkosi Sikelela" and "Dubula nge mbayi-mbayi" ("shoot them with a gun") in the middle of the financial district of one of the oldest colonial cities of the world, and nobody comes to arrest us. On the contrary, the city fathers embrace us. The formal cultural bonds between the Old World of the Netherlands and the harsh new frontier that it has done so much to create in South Africa are slowly but surely severed, to make way for a burgeoning relationship with the forces of liberation. The mayor of Amsterdam declares it an anti-apartheid city - a badge of honour and distinction that itwill wear for the next twenty years. A new cultural link has been established, and we are at its cutting edge. That initial one-night stand has become a life-long commitment. The Mayibuye group forges stronger and stronger relationships within itself, a clearer and increasingly committed and optimistic relationship with the political goals of the struggle for emancipation in South Africa. Amsterdam and other towns and cities in Holland become increasingly frequent stops on an ever expanding touring calendar that now embraces a variety of venues in the , Germany, France, and Scandinavia.

The cluttered offices of the Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement at Herengracht 88, and later at Lauriergracht 116, become our homes-from-home. New strategies for expanding the cultural wing of the struggle are mulled over and hammered out in tiny apartments overlooking Amsterdam's endless series of winding canals. Dutch artists join us on stage and take on a separate anti-apartheid life of their own in the nightclubs and coffee bars of the city. The pace of cultural activity relating to the vital issues of transformation in Southern Africa accelerates. We move on from Mayibuye to events and conferences embracing the many facets of our just cause, culminating with the astonishing gathering of exiled and home-based artists from all fields - film, music, theatre, poetry, and intellectual debate - at the festival of Culture forAnother South Africa (CASA) that sees us taking control of some of the city's premier performance venues - Paradiso, de Melkweg (Milky Way) and countless others. Finally, unbelievably, the scent of victory is in the air. VIDEO FOOTAGE OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING The African Skies archive brings you right into the heart of an extraordinary, twenty-year long process of struggle through cultural engagement, hard talk, and mass action carried out on the highways and byways of Amsterdam, and gives revealing glimpses of a long process of solidarity in action. The scenes that unfold through 189 hours of filmed material give an unparalleled insight into the texture of key moments in the struggle against apartheid, and for the liberation of the people of South Africa. Here we are introduced to the offices of the AABN piled with apparently haphazard stacks of box files, posters, leaflets, pamphlets, and documents testifying to years of single-minded dedication to the anti-apartheid cause. We get to know the main actors who filled those unlikely spaces with dedication, debate, strategising sessions, tears and laughter. The early years of the movement's work were committed to various boycott campaigns--starting with hi-lighting conditions of tobacco farm workers in Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, and what was then Rhodesia (now .) 1975 marked the period of accelerated activity for the movement, with , exiled president of the African National Congress, captured on camera addressing a packed meeting in Amsterdam. A youthful, dark haired, dark eyed, eternally attractive Connie Braam (one of the movement's most vital secret weapons) who was to lead the organisation forthe next twenty years looks on from the platform. No one could tell at that time that theirs was to become a lasting relationship of commitment to the struggle, embracing not just the public events documented in these video archives, but plunging into areas of uncertainty and great danger as the struggle intensified. Operation Vula, one of the most delicate and perilous enterprises of the last years of the armed struggle, was one of these. In 1976 the students' uprisings that started in engulfed South Africa, and soon dominated the world's television screens. The AABN organized street marches through the streets of Amsterdam and other cities, and once again Dutch artists and activists added their voices to the sound of increasing outrage across the world against the excesses of the South African system. It was a new rallying call for South Africans' political engagement internally and externally. Political cultural centres like De Populier, Melkweg, Paradiso became the host centres of Cultural Voice of Resistance conference held in December 1982. An equally youthful Fons Geerlings introduces some of the main themes of this long relationship of cultural and political activism. He says: "Alternative links between Dutch artists and Dutch cultural organisations and theANC have been established.. .and that the official cultural treaty between the Netherlands and South Africa has been broken down radically, and it has not been because the Dutch government wanted it, but because Dutch artists and cultural organisations and solidarity groups campaigned for it." We meet some of the many engaged personalities who are to define the burgeoning, creative relationship between Holland and South Africa: among them the venerable poet Bert Schierbeek; the Anti-Apartheid Riot Squad, led by and Jonas Gwangwa (reunited on theAmsterdam stage years after the demise of ground-breaking that they had formed in New York in the 1970's.) Lucky Ranku kept the rhythm plugging on unobtrusively in the background. and Johnny Dyani, ex-alumni of the Blue Notes and Chris MacGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, were part of the front line of the Riot Squad. A baby faced Barbara Masekela speaks from the platform, representing the political voice of the ANC's Department of Arts and Culture. "As exiles flung to many distant parts of the world, we do not get the opportunity to show our talent and express our love for our people in our own country. In this week [of the Cultural Voice of Resistance] we have been able to come together, and we are full of pride when we feel that, despite the ravages of apartheid, there is still boundless talent coming out of SouthAfrica." Other luminaries who are later to play a decisive part in the formulation of a New South Africa are here too: , Barry Gilder, Cosmo Pieterse emotionally reciting Hugh Lewin's poetic prison cry, "Touch", and presenting the anti-apartheid case in "High Dutch" in a later television interview - the articulacy of the engaged artist and exile. Some years later, revolutionary cleric Alan Boesak was to unveil his even greater fluency in the language in a series of public meetings in Amsterdam's meeting places and public parks. At all times, the artist/politician had to engage with a sometimes sceptical Dutch audience raised into a very peculiar and particular world view. The exiled artist/politicians and the solidarity movement jointly created a language to articulate the revolution in the making, and turn that language into a powerful and invincible weapon to achieve final victory. There is deeply embedded and sometimes painful memory here. Thami Mnyele engages in workshops with Dutch visual artists. He was to be killed in one of many infamous military raids conducted by the armed forces of the apartheid regime into Botswana a few months later. James Madhtope Phillips is captured in full flood, singing freedom songs with seven Dutch choirs who he had trained-what he described as a re-birth for both his cultural passions and his political commitment as a former South African trade unionist, and life-long anti-apartheid activist. Many of those whose faces appear in these filmed documents did not live to see that moment of triumph. But significant numbers of us did. We see an increasing flow of Anti-Apartheid mural art gradually taking over many of the streets ofAmsterdam. Inziles and exiles are captured on stage, among them the radical anti-war artist and campaigner Johannes Kerkorrel, singing to the Dutch audience in his nativeAfrikaans, a language derived from the early years of Dutch colonisation on the southern tip of the African continent. Klaas de Jonge, an anti-apartheid activist, was arrested in 1987 while smuggling arms to underground units of the ANC in South Africa. He staged a dramatic escape while supposedly guiding security forces to the various arms chaches he had established around Johannesburg, taking refuge for the next several months in the Dutch consulate. He was finally flown to freedom in Maputo in an exchange of political prisoners, and was to become a regular feature of the public activities of the Anti-Apartheid Movement in Holland and elsewhere thereafter - a living hero in the flesh.

Street protests against the iniquities of apartheid became a regular feature of Dutch political life. Televised debates constantly brought the anti-apartheid message across, forcing the Dutch constituency, physically distant but emotionally tightly linked to South Africa, to take a stand. Many of the personalities who were to become household names as the struggle gained momentum were captured on film as they breached the shores of the Netherlands to spread the word. Murphy Morobe, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dennis Goldberg, Eli Weinberg, and Mavis Smalberg are just some of the many names on the roster of voices mobilising for change in South Africa. , later to become the second president of a democratic South Africa, appears many times, as do Pallo Jordan, Victor Moche, and the dedicated cultural activists of the Ensemble, trained by veteran jazzman Jonas Gwangwa. brings his magical, flowing piano riffs to the stage. Then there was the huge, complicated organizational triumph of CASA - when the mayor of Amsterdam reaffirmed the city's status as an anti-apartheid city. The psychological impact of both this political statement from the city elders, and the colourful extravagance of anti-apartheid activists taking over the centre of one of the world's great cultural and economic centres cannot be overstated. CASA brought together not just Dutch and South African artists and activists - it brought together South African artists and activists who might have had common goals, but had never been able to express them collectively in the land of their birth. CASA was a landmark in cultural reconstruction, and attempted to raise answers to the many questions relating to the future role of culture in a liberated South Africa. The list of artists singing out for a new dispensation grows and grows: Ntemi Piliso and theAfrican Jazz Pioneers; ; Willie Kgositsile; Mongane Serote; Nadine Gordimer; Alfred Nzo; Don Mooljee; Julian Bahula's Jabula; Zulu poet/activist/trade unionistAlfred Qabula roars out his trade mark roar of defiance; Johannesburg's Video New Service, later to spawn offspring such as the Free Filmmakers' Collective, deliver the word on how the daily trauma of life under apartheid is captured and interpreted on camera. There is theatre, poetry, and an everunfolding series of performances that seems to engulf the world, its sheer weight almost enough to bring apartheid crashing down. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times..." Like a living organism feeding on itself, the cultural imperatives of the struggle bred new thoughts, new creativity, new moments of reflection and introspection. I too came out of a long period of stagnation to put the experience intowords:

CASA (Culture in Another South Africa) Amsterdam, December 1987 1 Breast milk. Worms in the blood beneath the skin of the earth. Wild dogs running stags to bursting point inside the wild, beyond the boundaries of war long after the guns have been laid down. 2 We've seen tomorrow here, And truth be told, it looks a lot like yesterday, namely tough, elaborate, and funky namely sharp as a pair of black eyes and foxy like a perfumed pony tail. Breasts and berets, boots and strides and tracksuits, it's coming down the road but, by God, it could burn you as it boils, grief watch the bubbles forming factions... If the pen were not mightier than the sword, the invitation to this dance would never have been written, the scores would not be here and bopping down that same old road. 3 Zweledinga put his finger on the siren and made it sing his tune, although the sirens that the past let rage spoke of the tension between the sperm and the womb, the strife during creation, the screaming descent through life. But for now let the siren be our flag: tomorrow, perhaps, we'll re-inhabit the Greek; that is, if we're alive, and our minds hold, and the remains be worth the eating... 4 Dance accompanies the birth, the menstrual moment, the marriage, the death; but some of us have been married so often that we don't know what the dance means anymore, so many funerals, so many times the same bride wearing white, the same words stretching drunkenly aside the new grave. Who doesn't dance? Who will not join the dance? But later who will not weep in the sobering wind, walking home to homelessness so many years along? ( John Matshikiza 1988)

Botha's head off in a symbolic penalty shoot out on a Dutch soccer pitch, and Jeroen Krabbd lent his now considerable voice to the calls for the freedom of South Africa and its many thousands of political prisoners - articulated through the campaign to free Nelson Mandela, that great symbol of"South Africa, the Imprisoned Society." Mandela was a shadowy presence in the background of all these cultural activities. His image adorned posters and banners all overAmsterdam, and he became a central feature of the street graffiti that was something of an underground statement of its own in free Amsterdam. Dutch crowds in their hundreds of thousands joined their voices to the swelling throngs of throats crying out across the world: "Mandela vry! Mandela vry!" And back home, in news television footage that it was impossible to escape in the unfolding drama of South Africa, police shootings, whippings and killings in the streets continued, while the secret police and military networks escalated their campaigns of abductions, murder, and cross-border destabilizations. It is hard to believe that this is how the world looked less than twenty years ago. Then came 1989, and the release of a first wave of imprisoned leaders, who we had hitherto only known in name, and from the yellowing pages of old newspaper clippings: including Govan Mbeki and . By this time Tambo was all but incapacitated by a stroke, probably brought on by the years of strain that had taken their toll as he conducted the almost impossible task of holding a widely disparate exiled movement together, and maintaining contact with that movement's suppressed internal wings, both political and military. But time is moving on with its relentless certainty that the struggle will one day be won. We are back in the offices of the Anti-Apartheid Movement. There is an escalating sense of excitement as a chain-smoking executive of the AABN watch F.W. de Klerk's announcement to parliament of the unbanning of the ANC and other political organizations which had not been allowed to function publicly for thirty years and more, in some cases. And finally the excitement of the moment of the release of Nelson Mandela himself on the 11 th of February 1990. The images we have all viewed and reviewed achieve a particular poignancy as the camera follows every excited twitch of Conny Braam's face as she takes in the news. She takes the lead as the ANC flag is hung out of the window of the movement's offices overlooking a greenish-grey Amsterdam canal, and the office staff, joined by exiles like jazz drummer Churchill Jolobe, break into song. And finally the tears cannot be held back as Conny and her staff watch Nelson Mandela himself, the symbol of their long years of commitment to the freedom struggle, walk free from Victor Verster prison, and into a new dawn forthe beloved country. It has been a long and personal journey. Many lives have been touched, and many difficult personal choices and sacrifices have been made. But the great day has finally arrived. And at this long-awaited moment of triumph, thousands of miles away in -Amsterdam, with the Mayor of Amsterdam sitting beside her in the offices of the movement, Connny Braam is there to savour this unbelievable moment of success. Some weeks later, Mandela himself is in Amsterdam in person to give his thanks, and to call on the solidarity movements across the world to continue the struggle for the final elimination of the scourge of apartheid. The crowd grows wild in an outburst of ecstasy, a food of white faces cheering the subject of their long, passionate involvement in the struggle for the liberation of the Black Pimpernel, free at last after more than 27 years in captivity. And Mandela reminds them that the struggle embraces not just the three decades of his own incarceration; not just the twenty hard and perilous years of the existence of the Anti-Apartheid Movement of the Netherlands; but "more than three centuries of struggle for liberation." This is what we are all collectively sharing in.

It is time to party. It is time to celebrate, to the sounds of the and Zap Mama. And it is time to redouble the efforts of the last decades of strugglea luta continua. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times...." The video archive reminds us that the struggle did not end with the release of Nelson Mandela from Victor Verster prison in 1990. Years of tension were to follow, encompassing a series of attempted uprisings by right-wing groups that caused the deaths of many hopeful South Africans - including the incomparable political and military leader . But the road to South Africa's first democratic elections in April 1994 had been essentially secured, and the elevation of Mandela to the country's presidency a few weeks later was not to be prevented, in spite of many dangers and setbacks that were still to be negotiated. And after liberation - the task of reconstructing a devastated country, and, for the activists of the AABN and other solidarity groups, discovering a new role for the uncertain future. But whatever the future holds, that profound commitment to the idea that "victory is certain" had been vindicated. And it is certain that there will no longer be the darkness of the most challenging moments of the struggle, when doubt and self- doubt were sometimes able to take hold. But finally, hand in hand, we walked through the garlanded doors of a freedom that we had for so long only been able to dream about. If it were possible to sum it up in one word, that word would be: VIVA!

- Fons Geerlings - In 1982 theAnti-Apartheid Movement of the Netherlands, AABN, got involved in filmmaking through independent filmmaker, Maarten Rens, with the filming of the first main cultural conference - the Cultural Voice of Resistance. It was the start of many productions that mirrored the core activities of theAABN. We followed the most important campaigns and conferences of theAABN in the Netherlands. Hundreds of South Africans in exile participated and later on they were joined by many from inside South Africa. We travelled through the war zones in the front line states, and visited war- damaged ANC offices and homes of ANC members in exile, as well as the ANC settlements in Dakawa and Mazimbu in Tanzania. We also worked with theANC's exiled film and video teams in Lusaka and elsewhere. This growing relationship led in 1985 to the establishment of the AABN Video Group and intensive cooperation with the ANC DIP department in exile in the Zambian capital Lusaka. The Video Group was instrumental in assisting theANC to establish its own video unit in cooperation with Victor Moche. After the discontinuance of the AABN the film material was left in the care of the African Skies foundation for audio-visual archives and productions on Southern Africa in 1995. It initiated a project to repatriate the material portraying the joint visual history of theAABN and the ANC, to South Africa. It took ten years to organize the visual history in fifteen documentaries and hundreds of hours of taped footage. The tracing of the recordings, the ordering, restoring, copying, notation and cataloguing proved to be an enormous task. The bulk of the material is from the period 1982 - 1994. It has been supplemented with material from an earlier date from the Angolan and Mozambican television. Moreover old Dutch TV footage has been collected and was used in the production "Het is mooi geweest / They were Good Times". This production runs over three hours and roughly summarizes the material. It was made on the occasion of the winding down of theAABN in 1994. In the end the collection amounted to almost 190 hours. I A guided tour through the material The start In the early 70's the Dutch Anti-Apartheid movement initiated a campaign to abrogate the Cultural Treaty of 1951 between The Netherlands and South Africa. It characterized the Treaty as an artificial dialogue between the wrong partners. It was abused by academics from both countries to defend the "gescheiden ontwikkeling/separate development". The AABN engaged in a battle of minds to change entrenched perceptions about South Africa. The cultural arena was critically important. Through the centuries in the Netherlands there used to exist a warm sympathy for the . This was especially true among Christian Protestants. At school, pupils were taught about Jan van Riebeeck, the , and the Boer Wars.

(CONTINUED) In "E Rile" seven Dutch choirs rehearsed for a year under the baton of the well- known singer James M. Phillips. The songs depict the history of the struggle of the South African people. Their spectacular performance at the final manifestation climaxed the week's events. The conference was overshadowed by the attack in Maseru and Roma, Lesotho. A number of comrades, including Thami Mnyele were killed by South African commandos. War, armed resistance and Dutch youngsters South Africa had unleashed a war in the region: invasions, cross-border raids and the killing of exiles in the frontline states. A destabilisation on a large scale took place hardly noticed in the West. A hidden war combined with a state of emergency in South Africa and the numerous township wars. The youth fought back against a police force and an army in which a substantial number of whites who had or were entitled to Dutch nationality were combatants. Demonstrations in Holland were organized against police violence in South Africa; overt support for the liberation struggle, including the armed struggle, was shown. This was a sensitive matter since other voices questioned the right of MK to fight back and talked about the ANC as a terrorist organisation. The AABN embarked on a series of activities and films dealing with these questions. It was decided to organize an International Hearing on Aggression by the Apartheid state against the frontline states. To prepare for this, local witnesses were tracked down and filmed. Conny Braam travelled ahead to . She stayed with an old comrade who lived next to the border with a view onto the Caledon River and the South African troops on the other side. Maarten and I stayed with ANC exile Willy in the grounds of a school. He showed us places where Boer commandos had camped and had killed refugees. Bunie Sexwale took us through her ruined house. Even after a year she found it difficult to talk about the attack of December 1982. (Years later we came across her in the Netherlands where she had settled.) We visited Roma where three refugees were killed in one house soon after their arrival. We filmed a young man from the in jail. He was a spy sent by South Africa to identify the houses ofANC members in preparation for an attack. Willy showed us more: the Lesotho Liberation Army, paid by Pretoria, had recently attacked the airport and a post office. There was great uncertainty in the country. Boer commandos were openly walking around in the city centre. South African helicopters were expected to attack anew. The Lesotho army was very small. When a South African commando group had lost their way, the Lesotho government was phoned from Pretoria. Lesotho was told to guide the South Africans back safely; otherwise the airport would be destroyed. In Mozambique Maarten and I travelled with General Fondo in the Inhamba Province in a convoy. Renamo was continuously launching attacks in the area. We visited a hospital with seriously injured victims. We interviewed children who were forced to fight for Renamo. Aquino de Braganza of the Eduardo Mondlane University described the events of the 17th August 1982, when unsuspectingly opened a letter bomb while convening a meeting in her office and was instantly killed. Pallo Jordan was working in the same institute at the time and was seriously injured in the blast. The TV provided recordings forthe hearing: scenes of the attack on theANC office and threeANC houses.

The last stage was Luanda. Angola was being systematically attacked by South Africa. The damage was enormous, according to Mr. Abrantes, director of Angop. New attacks by South Africa were reported; Unita, supported by Pretoria, committed many atrocities. We visited an ANC settlement where we met a young family member of Bunie Sexwale, who had lived in the house in Maseru that had been attacked. In the Swapo camp survivors of Kassinga relive the day of attack... The Angolan TV provided three hours of material: recordings of the Kassinga mass murder in May 1978 by the South African army stationed in Namibia, and the attack on the hydro-electric plant in Lomaum, an attack on a train in Moxico. Also included were rare shots from the battlefield: a South African air attack and the armed response by the Angolese army. There was even a short take of a slain white South African soldier, Smit, with service ID card. The International Hearing on Aggression, in December 1983, was chaired by the former Minister of Culture, Ms. Marga Klompe. International members were Professor Paulette Pierson-Mathy and Professor KaderAsmal. On behalf of theAnti-Apartheid Movement, Conny Braam, Pim Juffermans, and Sami Faltas made statements on the role of the Netherlands, and the refusal of the West to employ powerful sanctions. Abdul Minty talked about the nuclear and military cooperation between the West and South Africa. Pallo Jordan of the ANC, Tjiriange of Swapo, and Aquino de Braganca spoke about South Africa's total strategy and the destructive influence thereof on the region. Bill Anderson (exiled in London) of the Committee of South African War Resisters, briefed about the militarization of South Africa, the mercenaries and the role of the 44th battalion, and the refusal of young whites to do military service. The hearing, the witness statements from Southern Africa, and the performance of the ANC Cultural Ensemble "Amandla," led by Jonas Gwangwa with lead singer Ndonda Khuze, are captured in the documentary "Witness Apartheid Aggression". Recognition of the ANC and the role of MK came to the fore in the filmed discussion evening "The ANC and Armed Resistance" in June 1987 in Amsterdam. The first speaker, local councillor/Judge Boris Dittrich, noted that during the Second World War decisions were often made in favour of the right to defend oneself. Dennis Goldberg, Aziz Pahad, Nkosazana Dlamini, and writer Wally Serote were questioned about the reasons for the armed struggle and the role of the MK. The audience asked what would happen after freedom, and the fear whites have of black revenge. It became a lucid discussion with ample attention to the experiences of the panel members in jail and in exile. Dennis Goldberg was member of Umkhonto we Siswe (MK), the armed wing of theANC. He spent 17 years in jail for an attempt to overthrow the apartheid state through force of arms. It was the second visit of Nkosazana Dlamini to Amsterdam. In November 1976 she addressed a public event in the Moses and Aaron church, a couple of months after her escape from South Africa, and on her way to continue her medical studies in England. The AABN convened a Hearing on Abductions by South Africa in the frontline states on 16 December 1988 in the city hall of Amsterdam. All five witnesses - three South Africans and two Swiss - had been abducted in Swaziland in the eighties, and taken to South Africa. Grace Cele and Khumbizile Maphumulo (her husband died in the kidnappers' car) were abducted on 12 December 1986. Three days later Ebrahim Ismael Ebrahim was abducted in and was still in detention. In 1981 Joe Pillay was the victim of a kidnapping. The prosecutors were Dutch judge, Boris Dittrich and the American jurist Gay McDougall. They started with the Ebrahim case. Also present as expert witnesses were the South African jurists Chris Watters and Ismael, and Z.N. Jobodwabe of the ANC legal department in Lusaka. The international panel consisted of Reg Austin, KaderAsmal and among other Dutch lawyer Willem van Manen. At that occasion AABN chairlady Conny Braam, with the author Rudi Boon, presented the publication "Beyond Fear: Ebrahim Ismael Ebrahim versus the Apartheid State" to the ANC representative to the Netherlands, Bobby Sanjee. The hearing was filmed. The role of the young lions in the struggle became the theme of the documentary Afrika kom terug / Africa come back. Dutch studentAnneke Vreeburg returns in 1985 just after the state of emergency to South Africa. As a child she had lived several years in Roodepoort.. The family's emigration failed. The parents abhorred apartheid after a few years and returned. Anneke was still puzzled by the episode. Why did her family, knowing full well about apartheid, emigrate at all? She wanted to return to South Africa to meet young black people and to learn more about the youth revolt. Anneke and filmmaker Maarten Rens would stay with sound engineer Tony Bensusan, who used his garage as a film studio. "People's Poet" Mzwakhe Mbuli brought young black rebels there under cover of darkness from Alexandra and Soweto. Next stop was Lusaka where Fons Geerlings joined. Board members of the AABN were not allowed into South Africa. Avery relaxed President O.R. Tambo explained in lucid language toAnneke what the revolution was about and why the appeal to "Make the country ungovernable" was made. The encounter took place in a dilapidated villa with an empty swimming pool, the studio of where Golden presented the programmes. In Tanzania, at the ANC settlement at Dakawa, Anneke met very young fugitives, new arrivals from the Vaal Triangle. They explained the chaos and violence in the area and how they attacked the police and installations. During the stops we had been able to discuss in Lusaka with Victor Moche of the Department of Information the future cooperation with ANC filmmakers. In Tanzania, in the ANC settlement Mazimbu - not far from Dakawa, we became acquainted with photographer David Brown of the Eli Weinberg Lab. One year later he would attend a video course in Amsterdam, which he finished off with a film on Amandla. The production of Afrika kom terug /Africa come back became unexpectedly controversial. The Netherlands branch of the International Youth Year refused to finance the film because it was too pro-ANC. The Christian NGO ICCO came to the rescue by providing the necessary funds. The film did very well amongst Dutch youth. The video "Kleur bekennen - Show one's colour" had a mirror angle. The question was what can Dutch youngsters do to support the struggle of the ANC. It became a clip-like video, directed by well-known documentary maker, Hedda van Gennep. The video was shot in 1987 in a multi-cultural school in Amsterdam during a festival. The film includes soccer player Ruud Gullit making the Radio Freedom TV spot "Penalty" with comedian Freek de Jonge. Gullit shoots off the head of goalie Botha, which is replaced by the Jonge's head, saying "de kop is er af" - the go-ahead has been given. Lusaka -Amsterdam; the video units & Johannesburg - London After their training as cameramen at the film school in Potsdam/Berlin (East Germany at the time) Barto La Guma and Zeph Makgetla met each other in Lusaka. Here they worked with Wilson Nkosi who had completed a course at a film school in London. The informal ANC film group suffered a serious shortage of materials. They decided to work in video. The first step was with VHS equipment, which they used to capture an ANC conference in Tanzania.

In August 1986 the ANC established its Video Unit. The core of the group was made up of Karel Maseko (photographer), Stanley Ndlovu (with film experience) and Page (Rakgolane Boikanyo). In the course of time they were joined by Kush Mudau (stage director from Mazimbu) Nomsa Williams (journalist), Wilson Nkosi (filmer) and Nigel Dennis (photographer in Mazimbu). The Video Unit Board resorted underArts and Culture and DIP of the ANC. Victor Moche was the administrative secretary. Barto La Guma became coordinator. Stanley later succeeded him. TheAustralian organization Aphida supplied the first equipment: a U-matic low band recorder, a camera and light equipment. Barto LaGuma and Karel Maseko underwent a few months of training in Sydney to improve theirvideo skills. Partnership Africa Canada organized a second recording unit for Lusaka. The Canadian NGO Cuso financed a Toyota van and a kombi and organized computer training. The Canadian Steward Cryer ran a two-part training session in total nearly a year and a half in Lusaka. At the end of 1986 / beginning of 1987 Maarten Rens worked with the unitforfive weeks. It was a combination of training, filming and setting up equipment in the studio. Through the years the film activities within the AABN grew and became formalised as the AABN video group. It was and stayed a loose grouping: collaborators from the various productions worked for a while within the group and then followed new careers. The solid core was formed by Maarten Rens and Fons Geerlings. The link with Lusaka intensified. Maarten regularly sent equipment and tapes to Lusaka. Worn-out equipment from Lusaka was flown to Amsterdam for repairs. Netherlands donors were recruited to support the ANC Video Unit. At the same time the AABN group started collecting relevant videos and films about and from South Africa. The main source of information and supply became Barry Feinberg of the International Defence and Aid Fund. Feinberg also distributed the wealth of documentaries of a small, very politicised group of young filmmakers operating underground in Johannesburg. Amsterdam cooperated with Dutch distributors to show its own films and those sent from Johannesburg. From the early eighties Lourence Dworkin, Nyana Molete and Brian Tilley formed the core group that operated from Normandi Court in the city centre of Johannesburg. In 1981 Dworkin presented his and Brian Tilley's film "Forward to a People's Republic" to Barry Feinberg. He assisted in financing the next film "The Sun Will Rise" and linked them up with the ANC. Footage from Johannesburg was distributed through London to the ANC camps. The filmmakers regularly met with Thabo Mbeki, Aziz Pahad and Reg September in London and sometimes in Lusaka. Both the ANC and IDAF facilitated the filmmakers' access to donor organisations. In August/September 1985 Ismail Coovadia, a senior member of the finance department of the ANC office in London handed over 60.000 pounds in cash to Lourence Dworkin. He and colleague filmmaker Rapitse Monthso bought on the spot a betacam camera and two editing machines, and returned to Johannesburg. A couple of months later, in December the group established itself as Video News Service. The following year it started a distribution office under the name Afravision in East London. Guy Berger managed the office the first two years, and then Sandy Balfour took over. The young filmmakers were unbelievably productive. The members - at its apex ten persons - filmed most of the time from the side of the demonstrators and not under the protection of the police. In the meantime Rapitse Monthso formed in 1986 his own company R.M. Productions. Some of the equipment purchased in London was passed on to him. He took occupation of an office next door on the first floor of Normandi Court.

This acquaintance with Lourence Dworkin was made shortly before the Culture in Another South Africa event in December 1987. During the conference a first personal contact was made with Nyana Molete, Brian Tilley, Eddy Mbalo, and Rapitse Montsho. AlsoAndrew Worsdale was around to present his feature film "Shotdown". The AABN video group - added with Peter Groeneveld as organizer, Remy Vlek, Marja Sonneveld and Adrienne van Heteren- prepared the very first South African film festival- with dozens of films and documentaries- for CASA. It was obvious that a joint team with the ANC Video should be formed. From Lusaka came Barto LaGuma, Karel Maseko, Stan Ndlovu and Rakgolane Boikanyo (Page). Page and Klaas de Jonge were responsible for the major share of the interviews. Karel Maseko and Barto LaGuma stayed in the Netherlands for three months after the conclusion of the conference to edit the CASAfilm "Before Dawn" in conjuction with Marja Sonneveld and Maarten Rens. After the premiere in theAmsterdam Film Museum, Barto settled in (East) Berlin. The ANC video unit organised the African premiere at State House in Lusaka in the presence of the Zambian president, Kenneth Kaunda, and Leaders of the ANC. "Before Dawn" was aired on Zambian TV. The film was broadcast in December 1988 on Netherlands TV by the VARAstation. CASA "Culture in Another South Africa" took place in Amsterdam, December 1987. CASA was organized by the foundation of the same name in cooperation with the Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement (AABN) and in close cooperation with theANC. The conference drew 300 participants, 120 from South Africa and 180 from elsewhere in the world. It was the first time that there had been a "cultural Dakar" on such a big scale. Insiders and outsiders could meet each other. Authors, poets, film makers and photographers, musicians, actors, journalists, cultural workers from inside and outside South Africa discussed the boycott, cultural politics, the role of culture in the freedom fight, and how to work together. The people from inside were very curious and excited to meet the top ANC people: Alfred Nzo, Thabo Mbeki, Aziz Pahad, Barbara Masekela, Jonas Gwangwa and many more. Some Anti-Apartheid groups were initially sceptical about the appearance of artists from South Africa. Did it mean that the AABN had broken the cultural boycott? CASA and earlier events showed that the stimulation and promotion of South African cultural activities in other countries was in fact very important. It would have been tragic to boycott artists clearly opposed to apartheid. A certain degree of flexibility was required. The question of who should be allowed to perform overseas was a difficult one and touched upon the possibility of censorship. The decision was that the Cosatu Cultural Desk and theANC would play a decisive role in deciding who would be allowed to perform abroad. The discussions revolved around the future. It became a joint definition of the cultural politics (per sector) of the ANC. A route had to be planned that, according to Pallo Jordan, had to be protected against sloganeering. The foundations of future cultural organizations in SouthAfrica were layed. 0

CASA consisted of the conference, workshops in each discipline, theatre and music presentations, and a poetry night. An extensive photo exhibition, "The Hidden Camera", was set up in the Nieuwe Kerk in the city centre. Amsterdam honoured the ANC. Buses and trams were decorated with ANC flags. Hundreds of CASA guests were informed on matters pertaining to the Netherlands to make them understand the country better. The most important cultural centres reflected CASA. There were full houses for the plays "Bopha" and "". All seats were sold out for the staging of "Amandla". There were smaller and bigger venues for The Genuines, The Jazz Pioneers, Basil Coetzee, Abdullah Ibrahim, Bertine Schouw and many more. On one occasion all bands and the ballet group performed in the Operahuis and Alfred Nzo made a speech. A colloquium on media in South Africa took place in Amsterdam City Hall where Mayor van Thijn handed over a Media Award to Zwelakhe Sisulu through Mono Badela. The conference and performances were recorded in the documentary "Before Dawn". Fifty hours of footage has been preserved from this event. The film "Before Dawn", 60 minutes, was released in 1988 and provides a broad picture of the issues at stake at CASA via short interviews with: Basil Coetzee, Farid Esack, Jonas Gwangwa, Anton Harber, Abdullah Ibrahim, William Kentridge, Ramolao Makhene, Thabo Mbeki, Ntemi Piliso, Sama, Hazzy Sibanyoni and Pat Sidley. In the discussion and with statements appear also: Mies Bouwhuys, Conny Braam, Jo-An Collinge, Barry Gilder, Jonas Gwangwa, Willy Kgositsile, Lindiwe Mabuza, Barbara Masekela, Victor Moche, Bachana Mokwena, Krish Naidoo, Cosmo Pieterse, Ed van Thijn and Brian Tilley. Performances by Sabenza, the Genuines, the African Jazz Pioneers, Ntsikane, Zakhena, Zila, Amandla, Earth Players Theatre, Youth Drama Society of Soweto, Junction Avenue Theatre Company, Cosatu Choir, Bettina Schouw, Farouk Asvat, Alfred Qabula, Abdullah Ibrahim, Don Mooljee and Mzwakhe Mbuli (archival material). The film includes a rare archival shot of Thami Mnyele. Several people were sorely missed. Wally Serote couldn't get a visa to leave England. He was one of the main players in the preparation of Arts and Culture in Lusaka and the Cosatu Cultural Desk in Johannesburg. Mzwakhe Mbuli was on the verge of being arrested again and he had to go underground. The painter Thami Mnyele who was present at the 1982 conference, "The Cultural Voice of Resistance", had been murdered in 1985 during an attack by a Boer commando in Gaborone. In Amsterdam the Stichting Thami Mnyele was established to serve as a host studio to artists from South Africa. A message to Mandela In the Netherlands support for the ANC increased. It was linked to indignation about the lackadaisical attitude of the Netherlands government and of the European Community. Where were the real sanctions? Cities and universities started boycott campaigns. And again Amsterdam made an important move. Mayor van Thijn offered the ANC an office in the city, and was prepared to partly fund the office and the ANC representative. The Foreign Office was not amused but could not stopAmsterdam. Nelson Mandela's seventieth birthday turned into an emotional and political event in the Netherlands: support for the ANC and criticism of government policy were intensified. The Anti-Apartheid Movement organized a card to be sent to the imprisoned Mandela. More than 150 000 messages, postcards, and home-made drawings arrived in the offices of the AABN. Convicts, children, policemen ... a genuine cross- section of society reacted. The 11 postal bags were handed over to Winnie Mandela in Soweto by the oldestAABN volunteer, Dineke. She was met in Johannesburg and escorted by Lourence Dworkin and Nyana Molete of VNS. The reaction foreshadowed the Nationale Demonstratie on 11 June that year in which the AABN took the initiative. Fifty thousand people partook and listened to the ANC leader Pallo Jordan, leader of the UDF Allan Boesak, and the Swapo leader, Toivo ja Toivo. The mayor of Amsterdam, Ed van Thijn, the chairman of the FNV the Federation of Trade Unions - and the author Mies Bouhuys made speeches. A report of the demonstration appears in the production "11 June 1988". We've come a long way Shortly after the unbanning of the ANC and the release of Nelson Mandela, Mohammed Tickley, former director of Somafco, requested that we film the settlements of the ANC in Tanzania. Negotiations were underway, but immediate return did not seem imminent. The international donors differed and were not willing to continue support. It meant the film would have to give an impression of Dakawa and Mazibu and would have to make it clear that further support for five years were needed. The municipality of helped to finance the production. Ajoint crew was formed. From Holland Hedda van Gennep and Fons Geerlings. For theANC cameraman David Brown from Swaziland and sound engineer Colin Belton from London. In Mazimbu interviewer Zola Maseko joined the team. Dakawa with 700 inhabitants and Mazimbu with nearly 3000 inhabitants are beautifully located on theTanzanian country side, surrounded by mountains but far away from Dares Salaam. In Mazimbu, a well developed settlement, life seems normal. Students attend classes, Somafco directorAlpheus Mangezi continues his work. But the current situation in South Africa is in everyone's mind. Youth leader Jackie Selebi briefs the community. It is not yet time to return. Also in Mazimbu life continues. The students from the Vocational Training Centre construct houses. VTC director German/Judas (Khuze) explains about the proper certifications for the students. The Dakawa Textile Printing Workshop with TNT (Ephraim Ramodike) and Vusi Khumalo is in full operation. The atmosphere in section Hawai with the sixty demobilized MK members is more restless and uncertain. Everyone was talking about the negotiations in South Africa. Can we return or is it too dangerous still. Many wondered what life would be like for them on return. Albanus (Oupa Kekana) was doubtful. "My brother spent fifteen years on Robben Island and had a university education. All I can do is to shoot. My family would be glad to see me, but after a few months they would ask what I could contribute. I don't want to be a burden on my parents." Not everyone spoke about returning. Agroup of sixty new-arrivals (October 1990) is entertained in the Ruth First Education and Orientation Centre by resident youths. Benson and Donald, both from the Western Transvaal explain why. Benson was sixteen when he was arrested and spent five years on Robben Island. On return in 1989 he was continously harassed and feared for his life. Donald was also in danger. The combattants in Hawai entertain the crew in front of the tents. The songs tell about the fighting experiences in Angola. Combattant Four o'Clock performs his poem "We've come a long way through." Whilst cooking and baking bread in tins some men sing "Go back home". But who is at home? The men do not know who is still alive. And conversely, the family sometimes does not known the whereabouts of their sons whether they really went into exile and joined MK. or even that they had joined MK at all. The ex-soldiers request that we take along letters to post in London and Amsterdam to home in South Africa. Zola Maseko travelled to Amsterdam to edit with Hedda van Gennep the short films "A Message from Somafco" and "We've Come a Long Way". One year later Zola went to study at the Beaconsfield Film Academy. In his final film he used footage from the abovementioned films and re-interviewed several young people who had moved to South Africa in the meantime. The link with Amsterdam remained. Hedda's house became his second home. In the years to follow Hedda van Gennep went to teach several times at the Newtown Filmschool. They were good times The last film, "They were good times", produced in 1994, tells the story of the AABN since 1971. The archive had been supplemented with old TV recordings and several donations. Astream of organizations, picketlines, actions and conferences pass before they eye. The struggle for academic boycot, the struggle to move Dutch politics to support the ANC. A wave of comrades move past: the first visit of Oliver Tambo to the Netherlands in 1975. The honorary doctorate of the Universiteit to Govan Mbeki in 1978. The arrival of Murphy Morobe and in 1989. The UDF meets the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, van den Broek who still tries to see the UDF as an alternative for the ANC. The visits of Nelson Mandela attended by tens of thousands of people. It is the story of financial support to the ANC, for Radio Freedom and Somafco. It is the story of conferences geared towards the future like CASA, the Women's conference Malibongwe, the media conference JabulaniFree theAirways. It is the story of a campaign against Dutch Foreign Nationals in the SADF, the delegations of the Dutch Police Unions to support Popcru in South Africa. It is the story of the arrest of Klaas de Jonge and the story of Conny Braam' s Involvement in Operation Vula. Extraordinarily convincing and inspiring were the many performances of Conny Braam in debate with opponents of the boycott, with unwilling politicians of whom too many secretly kept thinking the speed and direction of change in South Africa should be dictated by the white minority. The images show how the Anti-Apartheid Movement had in some thirty years grown to a mass movement, supported resistance in South Africa and continued to put pressure on governments to do something. The ANC became a household word in the Netherlands. The ANC inspired many people in the Netherlands and brought white and black compatriots coming closer together. In these decades many Dutch people could distance themselves from the destructive role of the Netherlands colonialism of the 17th century, from the backwardness of the Afrikaners with their racism. The history of the AABN became a shared history with the struggle, with the ANC. The liberation of South Africa became a shared heritage. TheAABN was wound down in 1994. The video archive went toAfrican Skies. The Video Unit of theANC stopped their activities in 1994, as did the Video News Service. VNS handed their archive to the Mayibuye Centre at Robben Island. The immense archive of theANC video unit is still waiting to be unlocked.

After 1995 African Skies embarked on a program to collect all the footage, to clean the old video tapes with the one of the two remaining machines in the Netherlands. They were digitized and transferred to two new masters and six VHS time coded copies. In this period the footage was described in detail and catalogued. In the meantime the main archives in SouthAfrica, Namibia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe have been visited. Our aim has been reached after nearly ten years: the archive repatriated to the National Film, Video and Sound Archive in Pretoria; with a VHS copy to theANC archive at Fort Hare University. The visual history of activism, exile and struggle can now be made visible and re- used. There are still many stories to tell. Zola Maseko told such a story with his 2001 film "The Children of the Revolution". In the film he follows up the lives of a number of young people and re-uses material from 1990. And similarly, this is what Maarten Rens and Shane Mohabier are going to do in their film, "Solidarity", in which two Dutch youths and two South African youths research the lives of each other's parents: "What were you doing, Conny Braam and Jonas Gwangwa, for all those years?" African Skies trusts that its work will stimulate the organizing of international symposiums with independent filmmakers who worked in Southern Africa during the liberation struggle period. Much of their material is yet undisclosed. We hope that the repatriation of the Dutch archive will convince colleagues elsewhere to transfer their material to South Africa. *Recently African Skies received from the Dutch broadcast station Ikon 36 000 meters of film footage shot during the seventies on and partly in South Africa. This material together with the file of the Dutch Omroep for Radio Freedom and a number of films still have to be viewed and catalogued.

Guideline how to use the catalogue, to view and ordr the mateiaI The material - in total 189 hours, contains unique historical and cultural material. In 13 sections one finds a complete survey of available edited documentaries and footage shot during the years 1982-1994 by the video group of the AABN sometimes in conjunction with the ANC video unit. Moreover, the African Skies archive contains material from the Angolan and Mozambican television and from Dutch (and to a lesser extent elsewhere broadcasted) television. The catalogue is grouped in chronological order and in essence coincides with major events organized in the Netherlands by the Dutch Anti Apartheid Movement (AABN). The index provides first a clear view about the content. Twelve sections start with a description of the event followed by a description of the footage. The last section, the thirteenth, Miscellaneous is not chronologically grouped and commences with a described overview of the material. A series of interesting programmes and items are included in the sub-section, various which comprises 19 hours from television programmes.

It comprised of workshops and a multitude of performances: theatre, music, poetry; a film festival and the photo exhibition "The Hidden Camera" in the Nieuwe Kerk. Moreover a Colloquium on media in South Africa took place in the Amsterdam City Hall where mayor Ed van Thijn handed over a Media Award for Zwelakhe Sisululu to Mono Badela. The footage is very extensive and comprises about fifty hours. The film "Before Dawn", 60 minutes, was released in 1988 and provides a broad picture of the issues at stake at CASA via short interviews with: Basil Coetzee, Farid Esack, Jonas Gwangwa, Anton Harber, Abdullah Ibrahim, William Kentridge, Ramolao Makhene, Thabo Mbeki, Ntemi Piliso, Sama, Hazzy Sibanyoni and Pat Sidley.

Over a decade the video unit of the Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement (AABN) filmed in Holland and Southern Africa. Fifteen documentaries were produced and hundreds of tapes with footage were kept. The history of the anti-apartheid struggle was chronicled; on various occasions in co-operation with the ANC video unit in Lusaka, and individual filmmakers. A unique period and history has been preserved and painstakingly catalogued by the foundation African Skies, which manages the AABN archive. After ten years of work - collecting, cleaning, restoring, digitizing, copying and describing nearly two hundred hours of valuable and unknown visual history was repatriated to the National Film, Video and Sound Archive in Pretoria. "As a documentary resource, the archive's 189 hours of collective memory will be an Invaluable tool for re-analysing the many processes of the struggle against apartheid. Students, researchers, and ordinary people alike will be able to understand a period that could all too easily be forgotten-a period of engagement that came to an end only a decade ago. The archive gives insight Into both the public and personal sides of the involvement of the many actors Involved-their tireless efforts to convince a sceptical or uninterested body of world opinion, and their ultimate triumph with the release of Nelson Mandela and all other political prisoners, and the re-entry of the pariah state into the mainstream of world affairs." - John Matshikiza The bulk of the material is from the period 1982 , 1994. It has been supplemented with material from an earlier date, from the Angolan and Mozambican television. A considerable part of the archive deals wit, the aggression against the frontline states in Southern Africa. Moreover, old Dutch TV footage has been collected. The archive thus tells the story from 1971 up to the demise of apartheid. 4W iOF
