REFRESHMENTS

Harold Wolpe was deeply involved in the making of the new South Africa. He had been an activist against apartheid before his escape to Britain, was a theoretician of the movement during twenty seven years of exile and went back in 1991 to play a part in forming higher education policy.

A member of the Communist Party and of the ANC and a practising lawyer, he took up many political cases and drafted the disciplinary procedures for the UmKhonto we Sizwe, the miltary arm of the ANC. He would undoubtedly have been among the Rivonia trialists in 1963, had he and three comrades not managed a dramatic escape from prison and from South Africa.

Once in England, and re united with his wife and children, he turned to teaching sociology, at Bradford University, the Polytechnic of North London and from 1973 at Essex University. He was one of a small group who founded the Marxist journal Economy and Society in the early 70s. His major contribution was an exemplary analysis in which he argued that apartheid was a distinctive system for providing cheap labour in South African capitalism - as well as being unjust and racist. He was involved in setting up the Solomon Mahlangu College in Tanzania. In the late 1980s he ran a project Research on Education in South Africa, funded through the Ruth First Memorial Trust. This was the work hie was to continue once it became possible for the exiles to return. He set up the Education Policy Unit atthe University of the Western Cape and it was there that he was based until he died, hours after completing a major report for the National Commission on Higher Education.

His wife AnnMarie lives in Cape Town, his son Nicholas in and his daughters Peta and Tessa and grandchildren Jonathan and Alicia in London.

We, family and colleagues of Harold Wolpe, have set up a Trust Fund in his name to honour through a range of appropriate academic activities Harold’s intellectual and critical legacy. More specifically we are considering having an annual lecture and/or colloquium, and, initially a publication arising from this, sponsoring individuals to conduct short research and/or write on policy and other issues relating to the educational and related needs of South Africa and set up a reading room in a university which could house Harold’s papers.

President has agreed to be a Patron. The following people have agreed to act as Trustees: Minister Kadar Asmal, Prof. Nasima Badsha, Professor Jakes Gerwel, Minister Pallo Jordan, Mr. Eric Molobi, Prof. Njabulo Ndebele and Professor Mala Singh, as well as AnnMarie, Peta, Tessa and Nicholas Wolpe.

If you or your organisation would like to contribute to this Trust and would like to be included on our mailing list for more information please complete the tear off slip and return to the address below. Please could you distribute this notice to other people who might be interested or include their names and addresses with yours. We are confident that many individuals and organisations will be contributing to this Trust.

I am interested in contributing to the Harold Wolpe Memorial Trust.
