Article The South African nation Ivor Chipkin In 1996 the South African Labour Bulletin made a startling comparison. It suggested that the movement of trade-unions to invest members' contributions in 'investment companies' resembled models for Afrikaner economic empowerment. InparticularNail (New Africa InvestmentLimited), one of the flagships of Black Economic Empowerment, was compared to Rembrandt, one of the flagships of Afrikaner economic power (SALB 1996). What was being juxtaposed here was African and Afrikaner nationalism. Indeed, it was hinted that they were somehow, even if modestly, similar. What was important was the principle of the comparison: that they could be compared at all! Since then, even if it is not commonplace, it is at least not unusual to hear journalists and others draw similarities between them (see, for example, Heribert Adam in the Weekly Mail & Guardian, April 9,1998). Today it is even possible to hear members of government or the ANC hold Afrikaner nationalism up as a model for Black Economic Empowerment (see Deputy Minister of Finance, MB Mpahlwa 2001). In this vein African and Afrikaner nationalism are beginning to receive comparative treatment in the academic literature as well. Christoph Marx in a recent article discusses continuities between the cultural nationalist ideas of Afrikaner nationalism and those of current day Africanism.

    True Confessions, End Papers and the Dakar Conference

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

    Welcoming Remarks by Dr Naledi Pandor, Minister of International

    1 WELCOMING REMARKS BY DR NALEDI PANDOR, MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION, DURING VIRTUAL THE PROGRAMME FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPME IN AFRICA (PIDA) WEEK 2020: 19 JANUARY 2021 Programme Director; Your Excellencies; Ladies and Gentlemen: Compliments of the new season to you all! I would also like to welcome you to PIDA week 2020. We are brought together today by commitment to our shared vision for a prosperous Africa and a better world. We meet at a time of great distress both for the African continent and the entire world. As PIDA 2020 shows, the Covid-19 global pandemic has at once disrupted and transformed the way we do business and how we interact with one another. Nevertheless, it is necessary to meet to continue determining plans to help us achieve progress and to avoid further decline in our socio-economic conditions. Your Excellencies; The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) was created as a framework for stakeholders in the continent to utilise and develop the infrastructure necessary for tangible growth and to integrate the continent physically, economically and socially, with the objective of boosting trade, creating new jobs for Africa’s growing population and improving the overall socio-economic conditions of our people. 2 PIDA was also designed to mobilise resources to transform our infrastructure as well as modernise it in order to integrate the African continent and the world. Achieving these goals can only be done through our collective effort as Member States effectively using our existing frameworks of regional and continental cooperation. A great deal of progress is being recorded in PIDA implementation, and AUDA-NEPAD remains pivotal in this exercise we are not at the required level of implementation and governments and the AU need to give greater support to active implementation.

Hierdie stuC.:ie betwis so 'n opvatting en argumenteer dat 'n noodsaaklike tydperk van informele onderhandeling voor formele kontak bestaan het. Gedurende die voorafgaande tydperk, wat bekend staan as vooronderhandeling, het lede van die Nasionale Party regering en die African National Congress (ANC) gepoog om kommunikasiekanale daar te stel en sodoende die moontlikheid van 'n onderhandelde skikking te ondersoek. Deur van 'n fase-benadering tot onderhandeling gebruik te maak, analiseer hierdie studie die oorgangstydperk met die doel om die struktuur en funksies van Suid-Afrikaanse vooronderhandelinge te bepaal. Die volgende drie onderhandelingsfases word onderskei: onderhande/ing oor onderhandeling, voorlopige onderhande/ing, en substantiewe onderhandeling.

Fulfilling our National Mandate Our mandate is to make Freedom Park visible, thereby growing its number of visitors. Team work, focus and accountability are the hallmark of how we do things. There is greater visibility of Freedom Park and the Park is on demand from other museums in South Africa Corporate Calendar/ Events and foreign governments to share its experience dedicated to peace and freedom. We have implemented a number of key partnerships with like-minded institutions. Freedom Park is Good to know one of the few institutions which deal with sensitive issues of politics and history but which enjoy legitimacy across the wide spectrum of society. The whole concept of Freedom Park and its content is unique in this country and on the continent. It integrates history, culture and spirituality in a special way and the storyline is infused in the design, architecture and landscape. That is why no person who enters Freedom Park can stay unaffected by the experience. This is a place of pilgrimage for all South Africans – every South African must visit Freedom Park once in their life-time. It is open for tourists, domestic and international, and is a treasure of knowledge for school-children and all who want to learn about our history, culture and spirituality as Africans.

    25 Years in the Global Arena

    25 Years in the Global Arena Working for a Better South Africa, in a Better and Safer Africa, in a Better World South Africa’s achievement of democracy had global significance, enabling the free South Africa to immediately become a global citizen of note. As the free South Africa reaches 25 years since the first democratic elections in 1994, let us reflect on what it has achieved in the global arena. 2 25 Years in the Global Arena “We are aware that by our common actions we have sought not only the liberation of the people of South Africa but also the extension of the frontiers of democracy, non-racial, non-sexism and human solidarity throughout the world.” – Nelson Mandela, Speech to the United Nations, 24 September 1993 Icons such as Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters, South Africa’s cultural and performing artists and its sportsmen and women combined with the famous democratic transition gave South Africa notable prestige globally. 25 Years in the Global Arena 3 4 25 Years in the Global Arena 25 Years in the Global Arena 5 Madiba Magic – Returning to the global stage 6 25 Years in the Global Arena 25 Years in the Global Arena 7 8 25 Years in the Global Arena International solidarity OR Tambo brought the friends of South Africa together throughout the world in a continuous and sustained mobilisation of the international community in support of a free and democratic South Africa.
