  • Creating Provinces for a New South Africa, 1993
    NEGOTIATING DIVISIONS IN A DIVIDED LAND: CREATING PROVINCES FOR A NEW SOUTH AFRICA, 1993 SYNOPSIS As South Africa worked to draft a post-apartheid constitution in the months leading up to its first fully democratic elections in 1994, the disparate groups negotiating the transition from apartheid needed to set the country’s internal boundaries. By 1993, the negotiators had agreed that the new constitution would divide the country into provinces, but the thorniest issues remained: the number of provinces and their borders. Lacking reliable population data and facing extreme time pressure, the decision makers confronted explosive political challenges. South Africa in the early 1990s was a patchwork of provinces and “homelands,” ethnically defined areas for black South Africans. Some groups wanted provincial borders drawn according to ethnicity, which would strengthen their political bases but also reinforce divisions that had bedeviled the country’s political past. Those groups threatened violence if they did not get their way. To reconcile the conflicting interests and defuse the situation, the Multi-Party Negotiating Forum established a separate, multiparty commission. Both the commission and its technical committee comprised individuals from different party backgrounds who had relevant skills and expertise. They agreed on a set of criteria for the creation of new provinces and solicited broad input from the public. In the short term, the Commission on the Demarcation/Delimitation of States/Provinces/Regions balanced political concerns and technical concerns, satisfied most of the negotiating parties, and enabled the elections to move forward by securing political buy-in from a wide range of factions. In the long term, however, the success of the provincial boundaries as subnational administrations has been mixed.

    IOFC/MRA NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE ZIMBABWE 1 – 5 February 2017 Moving from a group to a team IofC/MRA first national youth conference, held in Gweru 1 - 5 February, aimed to ‘move from a group to a team’. Young people came together to learn more deeply about MRA, to build their skills and strengthen friendships to work together for a just, peaceful and sustainable Zimbabwe. IofC/MRA National Youth Conference Zimbabwe IofC/MRA National Youth Conference Zimbabwe MOVING FROM A GROUP T O A T E A M INTRODUCTION Initiatives of Change Initiatives of Change is a world-wide movement of people of diverse cultures and backgrounds, who are committed to the transformation of society through changes in human motives and behaviour, starting with their own. Our vision is a just, peaceful and sustainable world to which everyone, responding to the call of conscience, makes their unique contribution Initiatives of Change/ Moral Re-Armament Zimbabwe Moral Re-Armament (MRA) has been active in Zimbabwe for several decades. Through key members such as Alec Smith, Ian Smith’s son who was politically opposed to his father, MRA flourished in Rhodesia. Between 1975-197 they launched a variety of initiatives aimed at ‘building bridges of reconciliation’ and finding a solution to the war that was devastating the country. MRA played a pivotal role in the peaceful changeover from Ian Smith to Robert Mugabe in 1980. Since then, MRA has been through many struggles. Yet the committed team have pulled through and to this day groups meet in Harare and Gweru to bring transformation to individuals and their communities.

  • South African Activists' Use of Nanomedia and Digital Media In
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 2153–2170 1932–8036/20180005 South African Activists’ Use of Nanomedia and Digital Media in Democratization Conflicts TANJA BOSCH HERMAN WASSERMAN WALLACE CHUMA University of Cape Town, South Africa South African social activism reemerged in the 1990s after a brief lull following the end of apartheid and the transition to democracy. The revival of social activism appeared against the backdrop of a plethora of challenges facing the young democracy, including corruption, inequality, unemployment, and lack of service delivery. Protests have become a daily occurrence in South Africa as many of the poor people feel left out of the dividends democracy has brought. Although these protests are mediated in various ways—that is, activists use print and social media to broadcast their activities—many protests fail to attract mainstream media attention. This article explores how activists use nanomedia and digital media as communicative platforms in the context of an asymmetrical and tenuous relationship with mainstream media. The article draws on interviews with activists conducted during 2016 to explore their deployment of alternative communicative strategies in an environment where commercial mainstream media largely serves elite audiences and frames the discussion from the perspective of the civil society–democracy relationship. Keywords: nanomedia, democratization conflicts, social activism, civil society, digital media In the two decades since the end of apartheid, South Africa has become one of the most vibrant liberal democracies in Africa. However, despite the transition to formal democracy being heralded as peaceful, the postapartheid political environment has been characterized by ongoing community protests. The gains made in political and civil rights have not adequately extended to the arena of economic freedom for most of the country’s citizens, making South Africa one of the most unequal societies in the world.

  • The Struggle for Self-Determination: a Comparative Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism Among the Quebecois and the Afrikaners
    The Struggle for Self-Determination: A Comparative Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism Among the Quebecois and the Afrikaners By: Allison Down This thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Stellenbosch. Supervisor: Professor Simon B. Bekker Date Submitted: December, 1999 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration I, the undersigned hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously in its entirety or in part been submitted at any university for a degree. Signature Date Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis examines the structural factors that precipitate the emergence of ethnicity and nationalism, with a special emphasis on ethno-Iinguistic identity. Nationalist momentum leading to self-determination is also addressed. A historical comparative study of the Quebecois of Canada and the Afrikaners of South Africa is presented. The ancestors of both the Quebecois and the Afrikaners left Europe (France and the Netherlands, respectively) to establish a new colony. Having disassociated themselves from their European homeland, they each developed a new, more relevant identity for themselves, one which was also vis-a-vis the indigenous population. Both cultures were marked by a rural agrarian existence, a high degree of religiosity, and a high level of Church involvement in the state. Then both were conquered by the British and expected to conform to the English-speaking order. This double-layer of colonialism proved to be a significant contributing factor to the ethnic identity and consciousness of the Quebecois and the Afrikaners, as they perceived a threat to their language and their cultural institutions.

  • 'Black' South African Contemporary Dance in the 21 Century
    The Impact of Colonisation on the Ability to Make a Meaning of ‘Black’ South African Contemporary Dance in the 21st Century by Maxwell Xolani Rani [email protected] Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies University of Cape Town Abstract This paper will explore two examples of African contemporary dance, including the 2014 Uhambo 1 production in Athlone Cape Town and Four Seasons, choreographed by Gregory Maqoma and performed by the Vuyani Dance Theatre at Artscape Theatre Cape Town in 2014. Hence, it also argues that one critical way of supporting audiences to resist past and present forms of oppression is for the creation of meaning (value) through interdisciplinary choreography and post-performance discussions with audience members which will allow Black South Africans to begin to reclaim their ability to reflect on the meaning of contemporary African dance forms, and in turn, to reflect and act upon confidently, through their own identity. Keywords: Black, African Contemporary Dance, Apartheid, Colonisation and Politics Introduction Most audience members find difficulty drawing meaning from the African contemporary interpretations of African Black dance. The beauty in dance can be found in the fluidity and ambiguity of the art form. It can be a form of self expression, a vessel to send a message, a way of retelling and reliving history, a ritual for worship, a form of celebration, and anything else that it wants to be or be interpreted as. Black dance[1] can take the shape of many meanings and intentions, but the social, cultural, economic, and political environment of its context cannot be ignored.
