  • Anti·Apartheid
    FREE anti·apartheid iACTION! October 1985 BAY AREA FREE SOUTH AFRICA MOVEMENT No.4 BAFSAM Opposes Trade With Apartheid On October 8, the Bay Area Free South Africa Movement (BAFSAM) met with the Oakland Port Commission to demand that the Port of Oakland forbid the handling of both incoming and outgoing trade with South Africa. The struggle to get the Port Commis­ sioners to agree to this demand is part and parcel of an international call to break all diplomatic, economic and cul­ tural ties with the apartheid (racially­ segregated) regime. The call for breaking these ties with South Africa has been made by the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) and other black trade unions. It has been endorsed by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the World Fed­ eration of.Trade Unions (WFTU) and the International Labor Organization of the United Nations (!LO). Given that the United States is South Africa's number one trading partner, the BAFSAM has always stressed the importance of cutting off trade relations with the South African regime. the BAFSAM joins with the workers and community activists of New Orleans, Vancouver, B.C., Los Angeles, Tacoma, and Vancouver in Washington state, and picket line at the Oakland offices of the SAM, along with representatives from San Francisco who have refused to Pacific Maritime Association, and mon­ 20 other community organizations and unload or have delayed unloading itored and picketed other incoming trade unions, attended the West Coast South African car_go. ofteh risking vio­ ships laden with South African goods.

  • The Matola Raid 2
    THE MATOLA RAID 2. The people The human toll The Matola Raid caused the deaths of some 20 people. Thirteen ANC cadres were killed or mortally wounded. Five other cadres were abducted, and at least one was subjected to prolonged torture, then executed. For the cadres’ families, uncertainty and grief were compounded by Apartheid state prohibitions on attending the funeral in Maputo. A Portuguese citizen – an electrical engineer helping Mozambique’s power supply agency – drove accidentally into one of the raiders’ roadblocks, and was shot dead. ________________ The fate of the abductees The raiders abducted four ANC cadres: Selby Vuyani Mavuso, Thibe Ntsekang, Albert Mahutso and David Thobela. During post-Apartheid South Africa’s Truth & Reconciliation hearings, Mavuso’s fate was revealed. After continually refusing to succumb to interrogation, he had been handed over to the notorious “Vlakplaas” unit, tortured, and killed. Ntsekang is also believed to have been sent to “Vlakplaas” where he became an “askari” – an informant for the apartheid regime. Mahutso survived and is believed to have died in August 2013. Nothing is known of his life after his abduction in 1981. Thobela resurfaced in Mozambique some years after the raid. The circumstances of his release were mysterious, and his former comrades dissociated themselves from him. While many believed that ANC cadre Collin Khumalo was also abducted during the Matola Raid, recent evidence shows that he was in fact captured by the Security Police at Bhunye police station in Swaziland in 1984, and not at Matola in 1981. _________ Profiling the deceased cadres Some of the ANC cadres who died in the Matola Raid were charismatic leaders, whose deeds and personalities are on historical record.

Emma Elinor Lundin ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the struggle to increase women’s participation in public and political life by focusing on the activism of women within the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) from 1960 until 1994. It argues that internationalism was key to these women’s success, providing them with a source of support and funding as well as a stage to develop policies away from overwhelmingly patriarchal national settings. Creating and steering political trends and discussions in international fora, and bolstered by the approval of others in the international community, the women who feature here gained a foot in the door of power and created environments conducive to their presence, abilities and voices.

  • Inaugural Griffiths and Victoria Mxenge Memorial
    INAUGURAL GRIFFITHS AND VICTORIA MXENGE MEMORIAL LECTURE DELIVERED AT THE FACULTY OF LAW - NELSON MANDELA METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY ON 30 OCTOBER 2009 BY JUSTICE DIKGANG MOSENEKE “ESTABLISHING SOCIAL CONSENSUS ON THE SHIFTING BOUNDARIES BETWEEN JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE STATE - LESSONS FROM THE RECENT PAST” Introduction- Professor Derrick Swartz, the Vice Chancellor of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University as well as the Professor Vivienne Lawack- Davids, the Executive Dean of the Faculty of law, I must at the outset make plain my happiness and gratitude. I am overjoyed by the initiative of the Faculty of Law to inaugurate this memorial lecture in order to remember and pay tribute to two remarkable compatriots, freedom fighters and indeed courageous civil rights lawyers. The memorial lecture series will not only keep alive the lessons of the courage and selflessness their lives so well epitomised but also will create space to engage in rigorous, if not robust, conversations about the elusive intersection between law and justice and society. My gratitude stems from your kind invitation in asking me to deliver the first of the memorial lectures in the names of Griffiths and Victoria 1 Mxenge. I have accepted this assignment in recognition that it is an honour to be asked to pay tribute to so revered a pair of patriotic lawyers. I am not unaware of the quiet work of the Law School in putting together this special occasion. I am equally thankful that so many from the university community, its council members, staff members of the Law Faculty and post- and undergraduate students have made time to attend this lecture.
