  • Colin Eglin, the Progressive Federal Party and the Leadership of the Official Parliamentary Opposition, 1977‑1979 and 1986‑1987
    Journal for Contemporary History 40(1) / Joernaal vir Eietydse Geskiedenis 40(1): 1‑22 © UV/UFS • ISSN 0285‑2422 “ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF OUR DEMOCRACY”: COLIN EGLIN, THE PROGRESSIVE FEDERAL PARTY AND THE LEADERSHIP OF THE OFFICIAL PARLIAMENTARY OPPOSITION, 1977‑1979 AND 1986‑1987 FA Mouton1 Abstract The political career of Colin Eglin, leader of the Progressive Federal Party (PFP) and the official parliamentary opposition between 1977‑1979 and 1986‑1987, is proof that personality matters in politics and can make a difference. Without his driving will and dogged commitment to the principles of liberalism, especially his willingness to fight on when all seemed lost for liberalism in the apartheid state, the Progressive Party would have floundered. He led the Progressives out of the political wilderness in 1974, turned the PFP into the official opposition in 1977, and picked up the pieces after Frederik van Zyl Slabbert’s dramatic resignation as party leader in February 1986. As leader of the parliamentary opposition, despite the hounding of the National Party, he kept liberal democratic values alive, especially the ideal of incremental political change. Nelson Mandela described him as, “one of the architects of our democracy”. Keywords: Colin Eglin; Progressive Party; Progressive Federal Party; liberalism; apartheid; National Party; Frederik van Zyl Slabbert; leader of the official parliamentary opposition. Sleutelwoorde: Colin Eglin; Progressiewe Party; Progressiewe Federale Party; liberalisme; apartheid; Nasionale Party; Frederik van Zyl Slabbert; leier van die amptelike parlementêre opposisie. 1. INTRODUCTION The National Party (NP) dominated parliamentary politics in the apartheid state as it convinced the majority of the white electorate that apartheid, despite the destruction of the rule of law, was a just and moral policy – a final solution for the racial situation in the country.

March 2017 Signature Date Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO TREATMENT Abstract Despite interventions that aim to address the barriers to healthcare treatment for pregnant Coloured women abusing TIK in Cape Town, the rate of accessing substance abuse treatment and maternal care amongst this population remains dismally low. Recent literature has given attention to highlighting the structural barriers to treatment as experienced from the perspective of pregnant Coloured women; however, little, if any, research has been conducted on these barriers from the healthcare providers’ perspective. The present study thus aimed to identify the structural treatment barriers experienced by healthcare providers who treat pregnant Coloured women who abuse TIK. An exploratory qualitative design was utilised whereby 20 healthcare providers were identified through purposive sampling and subsequently interviewed.

  • Sounding the Last Mile: Music and Capital Punishment in the United States Since 1976
    SOUNDING THE LAST MILE: MUSIC AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1976 BY MICHAEL SILETTI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey Magee, Chair and Director of Research Professor Gayle Magee Professor Donna A. Buchanan Associate Professor Christina Bashford ABSTRACT Since the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed the legality of the death penalty in 1976, capital punishment has drastically waxed and waned in both implementation and popularity throughout much of the country. While studying opinion polls, quantitative data, and legislation can help make sense of this phenomenon, careful attention to the death penalty’s embeddedness in cultural, creative, and expressive discourses is needed to more fully understand its unique position in American history and social life. The first known scholarly study to do so, this dissertation examines how music and sound have responded to and helped shape shifting public attitudes toward capital punishment during this time. From a public square in Chicago to a prison in Georgia, many people have used their ears to understand, administer, and debate both actual and fictitious scenarios pertaining to the use of capital punishment in the United States. Across historical case studies, detailed analyses of depictions of the death penalty in popular music and in film, and acoustemological research centered on recordings of actual executions, this dissertation has two principal objectives. First, it aims to uncover what music and sound can teach us about the past, present, and future of the death penalty.

  • Tacoma Community College 2006-07 Una Voce Student Essay Collection
    Welcome to the seventh edition of Una Voce! Inside are essays which represent some of the best writing by Tacoma Community College students during the 2006/2007 academic year. Over forty well-written essays were submitted to the editors of this publication. We, the editorial staff of Una Voce, had the difficult task of narrowing the selection to the final essays published here. The talented students of Tacoma Community College should be extremely proud of their writing ability, as this publication is only a narrow sample of their talent. We would like to thank the students who submitted their work for publication, and also the gifted instructors who mentored and encouraged them. This year’s publication is the most political issue of Una Voce ever compiled. TCC’s students are very aware of the controversies swirling around them, and they have smart things to say about it all. From local debates, such as “The Necessity of Wal-Mart” and “Relocating the RAP and Lincoln Work Release Houses,” to global issues, such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks (Belting), homelessness (Entus), the USA Patriot Act (Miller), oil drilling in the Arctic (Govan), and high-stakes testing in education (Tetrault), this year’s writers are particularly good at analyzing and writing about hot issues. We believe this high level of critical thinking says a great deal about TCC students’ intellect and their concern for serious issues. However, humorous essays are included, as well; a good laugh is always welcome, and you will find a few inside. Una Voce has always been a showcase for across-the-academic-curriculum essays, and this year’s edition continues that tradition.

    25 August 2016 Att: Ms Helen Zille Premier Mr Dan Plato MEC of Community Safety Cc: Ms Debbie Schäfer MEC for Education Prof. Nomafrench Mbombo MEC of Health Mr Albert Fritz MEC for Social Development Ms Anroux Marais MEC of Cultural Affairs and Sport YOUTH DEMAND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM FROM THE SOCIAL JUSTICE COALITION AND EQUAL EDUCATION 1. The rights to life, dignity, equality and freedom, including freedom from all forms of violence, underpinned the original complaints by our organisations and others that led to the convening of the Khayelitsha Commission of Inquiry (the Commission). 2. As we mark its second anniversary we admit to our anger and frustration at the inaction from all levels of government to take forward the Commission’s recommendations. 3. The Commission’s report released on 25 August 2014 was aimed at improving safety and policing in Khayelitsha, the Western Cape and South Africa. The burden of crime faced by some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and the inefficiencies of the South African Police Service (SAPS) were at the core of the Commission’s work. In addition, the absence of safety because of criminal violence and inadequate social service provision has meant that people cannot access safe schooling, sanitation, transport, clinics and other constitutionally protected services. 4. We acknowledge that the majority of the Commission’s recommendations have been directed at the SAPS - a national function. Some recommendations however require proactive steps to be taken by the Western Cape Government (WCG). Recommendation 12 – A Multi-Sectoral Task Team on Youth Gangs 5.
