Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

Yet, a pre-season tournament in 2008 featuring the two glamour soccer clubs of South Africa, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, and the global brand of Manchester United, revealed a racially fractured soccer fandom that contradicted these notions of national unity through soccer.

A lot has been said and written since the passing away of Philemon “Chippa” Masinga, a day after the launch of Election Manifesto of the governing party, but allow me to pay our last respects to one of the gentlemen of the game of billions. He began his professional career at the famed football university of yesteryear known as Jomo Cosmos Football Club under the watchful eye of Roy Matthews and Jomo Sono – and he went to mesmerise many a defender with the late insanely gifted teenage Thomas “Chincha” Madigage and the maverick Augustine Makalakalane, just mention but a few of the stars that made up the Cosmos of the early 1990s. Theirs was a formidable, feared and respected outfit that contributed immensely to the early Bafana Bafana set up following readmission into the international stage as well as contributing the bulk of its squad to the all-conquering Orlando Pirates team of the mid 1990s that went on to be crowned African Champions in 1995.

  • Issue 2 High Culture
    MindMap- LEARN-THINK-INNOVATE I see no marks of Wordsworths’ style of writing or style of thinking in my own work, yet Wordsworth is a constant presence when I write about human beings and their relations to the natural world. SA i FORK, KNIFE AND GLASS- DINER’S CLUB Introduction The Fork, Knife and Glass Club is a dining club, first and foremost. It’s centered around three main elements which are; palate + company = ambience. The club is born out of the lack of alternative nightlife in Durban. It is a member conscious and orientated club that slaves for consumer satisfaction. It is particularly aimed at young professionals and creatives as the founder is an arts fanatic. The club offers young professionals an alternative to what is prescribed by popular culture. We’re showing people how to dine, where to dine and heightening their palate sense. The Fork, Knife and Glass Club is also creating a meeting field for individuals with fresh green ideas and similar traits. It’s the dinner table where a musician meets a fine artist, where a writer meets a product designer. We’re matching independent and small boutique brands with its market at the dinner table. The club is a magnet which pulls together a handful of cultured individuals once a month. We want the club will be an on- going experiment with the different restaurants and alternative venues in and around the city. Being part of the club also offers you invites to other alternative events hosted by the team. By now you should realize that the club obviously lends itself to more than just being a dining club.

Your reauest for participation was discussed at our National Executive meeting in March 1991. It was decided that the End Conscription Campaign would not Pe able to participate because we feel that tnis investigation falls outside our brief. We regard ourselves as a human rights group rather than a political party and we are only concerned with the issues of conscription and militarisation in South Africa. We appreciate the invitation and would be happy to participate in any other President’s Council investigation provided that it was directly linked to our issues. Yours sincerely, — , Nan Cross, ECC National Secretary. C o r n p a i j r t m 3 12 April 1991 The General Secretary Dear Comrades We hope that by now you have received the joint discussion paper on ’Building the Youth Front'. The paper is the work of the joint committee set up by the last Seminar on 1 March 1991 on the Youth Front. Part of the mandate of the committee was to convene a follow-up Seminar to discuss the process and programme of the Youth Front. Section B of the discussion paper deals with these issues and we suggest that the paper be used as a basis for the discussions.

  • Portrait Event Template
    New York, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Durban, Rio and St. Petersburg… The preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup™ goes back more than 80 years. The actual draw however has gone from an item on the agenda of a meeting of the FIFA organising committee to a huge professionally organised event. These days the draw may be a glitzy, lavishly produced event held in such impressive surroundings, followed by people all around on the world on TV and the internet, but this is a relatively recent development. By contrast, the draw for the preliminary competition of the 1970 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico, less than half a century ago, constituted nothing more than an item on the agenda of a regular meeting of the FIFA organising committee in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in 1968. It must therefore have seemed revolutionary when the German organisers of the 1974 tournament decided to broadcast the draw for the subsequent qualifying competition live from TV studios in Dusseldorf in July 1971. The pioneering step towards creating a truly global event was made, perhaps unsurprisingly, by the Americans, who held the Preliminary Draw for the 1994 FIFA World Cup™ at New York’s magnificent Madison Square Garden in 1991. This marked the start of a new era for something that until then had been considered nothing more than a mundane administrative matter. Since then New York, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Durban and Rio de Janeiro have hosted the draw – and this year St. Petersburg’s Konstantin Palace will join this illustrious group.
