South Africa’s state-owned electricity supply commission, Eskom, is the fifth largest utility in the western world in terms of installed capacity. It operates more than two dozen power stations in South Africa—although the vast majority of South Africans have no electricity in their homes. Last year Eskom announced its commitment to ‘electricity for all’. This means bringing electricity to about 20m people, half in urban and half in rural areas, who do not have it. The process has already begun. Eskom hopes that by the end of the century the number of people file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre...T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201989-90.HTM (1 of 1461)25/11/2004 16:06:29 PM file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre-Transition/The%2...partheid%20State/T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201989-90.HTM without electricity will have been halved. Published by the South African Institute of Race Relations Auden House, 68 De Korte Street Braamfontein, Johannesburg, 2001 South Africa Copyrights South African Institute of Race Relations 1990 ISSN 0258-7246 PD 16/90 ISBN 0-86982-378-7 PREFACE Perhaps a word of explanation is required about the use of roman numerals for the pages at the beginning of this Survey. The reason is that the first pages are written last. As each specialised chapter is written it must be paginated as soon as possible so that compilation of the index can begin and also so that it can be sent off to the printers. Only after this has happened is the ‘Overview’ compiled. This first section includes not only a bird’s-eye-view of the period surveyed, but also as much of the most recent information as possible. If the Survey were to be priced at what it costs to produce, a great many people who have come to rely on it would not be able to afford it. We therefore rely heavily on subsidies and this year, once again, a number of companies, trusts and other organisations, and individuals have made generous grants. All these are gratefully recorded on the acknowledgements page, which appears after this one. The acknowledgements page traditionally thanks, on behalf of the writers, all the many people without whom this Survey would never appear. The writers, of course, can hardly thank themselves so I should like to say a special word of thanks to them. Each year I am amazed at both the breadth and the depth of the information they gather together and each year they seem to get better at doing it. This is the seventh Survey that has been produced since I have been running the Institute and therefore acted as editor-in-chief. The number of people who have pointed out errors averages fewer than one a year. Considering the sheer bulk of this volume, the vast array of information that has to be gathered in, organised and written up—not to mention the speed with which this has to he done—makes this u remarkable track record. I should like to salute Carole Cooper, who acts as editor, Colleen McCaul, who manages the research team, and all our research officers listed with them on the title page, for yet another outstanding achievement. file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre...T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201989-90.HTM (2 of 1461)25/11/2004 16:06:29 PM file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/03%20Pre-Transition/The%2...partheid%20State/T_SAIRR%201948-1990/SAIRR%20Survey%201989-90.HTM JOHN KANE-BERMAN Executive Director South African Institute of Race Relations ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writers of this Survey wish to thank all those who assisted in producing this volume. The contributions by Dr Muriel Horrell (Religious Organisations) and Pierre Brouard (Security) are greatly appreciated. The writers are also indebted to all those who provided information, among them various organisations, members of Parliament, government officials, companies, trade unions and academics. The Institute’s chief librarian, Mrs Ellen Potter and the junior librarian, Ms Meryl Bertram, assisted by Ms Mildred Francis, Mrs Eunice Halo, Mrs Clara Masoga, Mrs Sarah Mohale, Ms Prisca Nkungu and Mr Alfred Nkungu, obtained much of the material and provided the press clipping service essential for the compilation of the Survey. The writers also wish to thank the Institute’s production manager, Mrs Lindsey Morton, for her work in style editing, overseeing design and production, and proof-reading. Thanks go to Mrs Connie Matthews, Ms Sarah Zwane and Mrs Dawn Weyers for typing parts of the manuscript and for typesetting the Survey. Our appreciation also goes to Mrs Naomi Musiker for her invaluable index. We further wish to thank the Deputy Director of the Institute, Mr Theo Coggin, for his contribution in dealing with the printers. The Institute warmly thanks all those who contributed to the production costs of the Survey.

  • The Role and Application of the Union Defence Force in the Suppression of Internal Unrest, 1912 - 1945
    THE ROLE AND APPLICATION OF THE UNION DEFENCE FORCE IN THE SUPPRESSION OF INTERNAL UNREST, 1912 - 1945 Andries Marius Fokkens Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Military Science (Military History) at the Military Academy, Saldanha, Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Lieutenant Colonel (Prof.) G.E. Visser Co-supervisor: Dr. W.P. Visser Date of Submission: September 2006 ii Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously submitted it, in its entirety or in part, to any university for a degree. Signature:…………………….. Date:………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The use of military force to suppress internal unrest has been an integral part of South African history. The European colonisation of South Africa from 1652 was facilitated by the use of force. Boer commandos and British military regiments and volunteer units enforced the peace in outlying areas and fought against the indigenous population as did other colonial powers such as France in North Africa and Germany in German South West Africa, to name but a few. The period 1912 to 1945 is no exception, but with the difference that military force was used to suppress uprisings of white citizens as well. White industrial workers experienced this military suppression in 1907, 1913, 1914 and 1922 when they went on strike. Job insecurity and wages were the main causes of the strikes and militant actions from the strikers forced the government to use military force when the police failed to maintain law and order.
