  • South Africa: the Next Republic
    Briefing Note 0802 October 2008 South Africa: The Next Republic The resignation of former president Thabo Mbeki can be seen as the ending of a “First Republic” in democratic South Africa. The liberal left tradition of the governing African National Congress is fading, and the “Second Republic” will be shaped by more competition for political power both inside and outside the ANC. These notes consider Mbeki’s legacy, the challenges facing President Kgalema Motlanthe, and the prospects for a “Second Republic” under presidential aspirant Jacob Zuma. • ANC deeply divided as Mbeki loyalists contemplate breakaway party. • SA Communist Party and Trades Unions gain influence in ANC structures. • New leadership pledges to maintain market-friendly economic policies. • Cabinet re-shuffle recognises failures in health, education and crime. • Democratic institutions damaged by fall-out from controversial arms deal. • Zuma’s authority rooted in ANC security and intelligence network. The “Zuma Tsunami” On September 20th 2008, the national executive of the African political influence” in the prosecution of Zuma on charges of National Congress agreed to “recall” Mbeki from the national corruption and tax evasion, related to a R50 billion presidency. His resignation follows a turbulent shift in the (£4 billion) government defence contract sanctioned by balance of power within the party leadership – dubbed the Mbeki in the late 1990s. “Zuma Tsunami” by supporters of ANC president Jacob Zuma.

  • Struggle for Liberation in South Africa and International Solidarity A
    STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION IN SOUTH AFRICA AND INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY A Selection of Papers Published by the United Nations Centre against Apartheid Edited by E. S. Reddy Senior Fellow, United Nations Institute for Training and Research STERLING PUBLISHERS PRIVATE LIMITED NEW DELHI 1992 INTRODUCTION One of the essential contributions of the United Nations in the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa has been the preparation and dissemination of objective information on the inhumanity of apartheid, the long struggle of the oppressed people for their legitimate rights and the development of the international campaign against apartheid. For this purpose, the United Nations established a Unit on Apartheid in 1967, renamed Centre against Apartheid in 1976. I have had the privilege of directing the Unit and the Centre until my retirement from the United Nations Secretariat at the beginning of 1985. The Unit on Apartheid and the Centre against Apartheid obtained papers from leaders of the liberation movement and scholars, as well as eminent public figures associated with the international anti-apartheid movements. A selection of these papers are reproduced in this volume, especially those dealing with episodes in the struggle for liberation; the role of women, students, churches and the anti-apartheid movements in the resistance to racism; and the wider significance of the struggle in South Africa. I hope that these papers will be of value to scholars interested in the history of the liberation movement in South Africa and the evolution of United Nations as a force against racism. The papers were prepared at various times, mostly by leaders and active participants in the struggle, and should be seen in their context.

  • Field Report from South Africa Adapted
    Field Report from South Africa Adapted from the broadcast audio segment; use the audio player to listen to the story in its entirety. Burial space at Soweto's Avalon Cemetery in South Africa is filling up fast, mainly because of South Africa's staggering number of AIDS related deaths – about 850 people a day. According to UN estimates, the epidemic has pushed life expectancy down to 52 years. At 5.7 million, South Africa is home to the world's largest HIV positive population. For a nation still grappling with the aftershock of decades of apartheid this health crisis has been devastating. Barbara Hogan served as Health Minister from 2008 to 2009. “Well we thought we got liberation now we could move on. Now this deadly thing comes along. It kind of narrows us down. It's frightening… What more can I say?” While AIDS has declared war on South Africa decades ago, the government has only recently started fighting back. In 1990, South Africa's infection rate hovered at about 1%. In the early days of the emerging epidemic, a newly democratic and still divided South Africa was ill-equipped to prevent the spread of HIV says leading AIDS expert Dr. Helen Rees. “The problem is that we've got an epidemic. We had an epidemic at the same time as we came out of the apartheid. We were trying to transform our house services post-apartheid and then we had the worst epidemic that's happened in modern times. So we've been trying to juggle these things together.

    University of the Western Cape Faculty of Law Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Thursday 19 October 2017 19h00 Imprisoning the Nation: Minimum Sentences in South Africa by Edwin Cameron* Constitutional Court of South Africa * I am indebted to my United States law clerks, Jacob Foster (2007) and Martin Willner (2017), for substantial help, as well as to Clare Ballard, of Lawyers for Human Rights, for helpful suggestions and to Lukas Muntingh for providing important references. Introduction: A Court with its foundations in prison 1. It is a great pleasure to be here today. I want to thank the University, and the Dean, Professor Bernard Martin, in particular, for granting me the honour of speaking in the University’s distinguished lecture series. 2. The Constitutional Court, the building itself, is where I would want to start my journey with you tonight. 3. Those of you who have visited the Court will have seen its uniquely beautiful, accessible architecture, which people from all over the world admire. 4. Unlike the top courts of many other countries, the Constitutional Court is not a heavy structure erected at the head of a huge, imposing set of stairs, with Greco-Roman columns and a massive pediment looking down on intimidatingly on litigants and members of the public. 1 5. Instead, rather than seeking inspiration abroad, the Court’s architects examined our own past and the significance of the spot in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, that the Court would occupy. 1 6. The Court itself stands alongside the Old Fort Prison – the prison where Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi were held.

  • Obituary Is a Selective Summary of His Achievements and Work, with and for Many Remarkable People
    1 George Bizos lived for 92 eventful and productive years: this brief obituary is a selective summary of his achievements and work, with and for many remarkable people. The following is an abbreviated version of the long version of his obituary of his very full and productive life. George was born to Andoni and Anastasia Bizos on November 15th 1927 in the village of Vasilitsi, in the south of Greece. His parents farmed olives, and George was the first of their four children who survived infancy. Andoni was mayor of the village and arranged road and water connections, but he was deposed in 1936 when the right-wing Metaxas dictatorship came to power through a coup de tat. George attended primary school in Vasilitsi and Koroni, then started secondary school in Kalamata. George’s schooling in Greece ended when Italy declared war on Greece in October 1940. In May 1941, at the age of 13, George, his father, and others from the village, helped seven New Zealand soldiers to escape from Nazi-occupied Greece. They attempted to sail to Crete, but were adrift for three days before being rescued by a British warship. They were taken to Alexandria, where his father took the decision to evacuate with other refugees to South Africa. The pro-Nazi Ossewa Brandwag were angry that Jan Smuts was bringing the “vuilgoed” (rubbish) of Europe to South Africa. Unable to speak English or Afrikaans, George worked as a shop assistant in Johannesburg, until a teacher recognised him as the refugee mentioned in a newspaper, and insisted that George start at Malvern Junior High the next day.
