There are two chief's wards in Reserve Four - the Sokhulu ward and the Mbonambi ward. People in each of these wards have expressed hostility to being moved. The Sokhulu chief points out that Reserve Four is agriculturally more productive than other areas. 'This land supplies even different wards with food. Even during the drought, we had food and other brought their cattle here to graze. We are very concerned when we are told that we are to be removed. We prefer to die here' said the chief." Bew.

Die geweld van die 1960's en deur die ANC en SAKP gepleeg en ge-uni~eer, word goedgepraat. Die kwes­ sie van verskuiwings word ook hier gesien as iets wat die "level of political consciousness" ondermyn. Hier word dan verder gepropageer dat die Regering onwettig is, dat h alternatiewe Regering van die mas­ sas gebaseer op die Freedom Charter die minimum is waarvoor geveg moet word (p 5) Hier word dan ook verklaar dat die eenheid van die mas­ sas noodsaaklik is, maar dat die "interest of the re­ volutionary vanguard" "predominate" moet wees.

  • The United Democratic Front and Political Struggles in the Pietermaritzburg Region, 1983-1991
    Mobilization, Conflict and Repression: The United Democratic Front and Political Struggles in the Pietermaritzburg region, 1983-1991. BY NGQABUTHO NHLANGANISO BHEBHE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Historical Studies, University of Natal. Pietermaritzburg July 1996. DEDICATION To My Family I dedicate this thesis to my father R. Hlanganiso and to my mother K. Rawuwe. To my sisters, Nominenhle and Lindivve,and my brothers, Duduzani, Dumile and Vumani, thanks for your patience and unwavering support. ABSTRACT In the eight years of its existence, from 1983 to 1991, the United Democratic Front had a major impact on the pace and direction ofpolitical struggles in South Africa. The UDF was a loose alliance of organizations, whose strength was determined by the nature of the organizations affiliated to it. This thesis explores the nature of the problems faced by the UDF in the Pietermaritzburg region, and how it sought to respond to them. Chapter one -covers the period from 1976 to 1984. This chapter surveys the political context in which the UDF wasformed, beginning withthe Soweto uprising of 1976, and continuing with the growth of extra-parliamentary organizations in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leading up to the formation of the UDF in 1983. This chapter ends with emergence of organized extra-parliamentary activitiesin Pietermaritzburgin 1984. Chapter two assesses the period between1984 and mid-1986. This was the time when the UDF activists began to mobilize in the region, and it was during this period that UDF structures were set up.

  • The Natal Indian Congress in the 1970S Goolam Vahed Department
    1 A case of “pragmatic ethnicity”?: The Natal Indian Congress in the 1970s Goolam Vahed Department of Historical Studies University of KwaZulu Natal [FIRST DRAFT - WORK-IN-PROGRESS: NOT TO BE QUOTED] The political terrain changed considerably through the 1960s as apartheid consolidated its iron grip. The heady days of the 1940s and 1950s when the trade union movement was powerful, had been eroded as Indian workers in particular were brought into formal bargaining structures. The Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), such a vital school for the production of trade union organisers, was banned, and the South African Congress of Trades Unions (SACTU), while not banned, was hunted out of overt influence. The break-up of old Indian neigbourhoods by the Group Areas Act had also meant the loss of local level leaderships and networks. The Congress movement was further decimated by the repression that followed the banning of the African National Congress (ANC) and Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) in 1960. Over the next few years, through a series of bannings, house arrests, and listings of individuals, as well as widespread imprisonment and torture, the state began to brutally and systematically crush internal resistance. The ANC and PAC were forced underground and the proscription on open protest led to the adoption of the armed struggle by both organisations. The NIC was not banned, but key individuals were rendered ineffective in various ways. Some who joined the ANC’s armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, like Billy Nair and Ebrahim Ebrahim, were soon arrested and would languish on Robben Island for the next decade and more; M.P.

  • Political Economy and Industrialisation in South Africa: a Critique of Structuralist Marxist Analyses of Apartheid and Class Struggle

Our policy information is available from the repository home page. For more information, please contact the WRAP Team at: [email protected] warwick.ac.uk/lib-publications Abstract The core of my thesis is to present a Marxist interpretation of the process of industrialisation in South Africa. I do so with the view that previous discussions on the process of industrialisation and its effects on the South African political economy have tended to obscure class relations in favour of race relations. The reason that this has occurred is that the dominant tradition in Marxist studies on South Africa has been located within a structuralist framework derived essentially from the French school of Marxism. The methodology of the structuralist Marxists has been such that it has led them to develop analytical tools tllat have focused on race ratller than class as the predominant contradiction witllin SOUtll African society. An inadequate application and interpretation of Marx's labour tl1eory of value has led Wolpe to develop his cheap labour tllesis which has proven to be both problematic and inadequate as an aid to understanding the particular form of industrialisation in South Africa. Despite criticisms of tltis theory it has continued to be reproduced uncritically witltin South African acadentia leading to tl1e development of further analytical tools such as racial capitalism and racial fordism that have proven to be inadequate in interpreting industrialisation.

Furthermore, it represents my own opinions and not necessarily those of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Signed Date ii ABSTRACT This study seeks to contribute to the field of documentary photography by looking at a resistance photographer who documented events during the liberation struggle against Apartheid in the 1980s in Cape Town, South Africa. The research explores the richness, depth and complexity of the reflective knowledge of the phenomenon and develops a sense of understanding of the meanings of the circumstances and social context of the researcher. It considers the thoughts, observations as well as reflections regarding the meanings and interpretations of experience as a photographer in the 1980s. The perspective of the research is to understand through the photographer’s memory the phenomenon of interest in the exhibition Martyrs, Saints & Sell-Outs and in so doing argue for a consideration of the lives of those who not only lived during Apartheid but continue to do so after its demise.

  • Social Segregation
    SOCIAL SEGREGATION SOCIAL SEGREGATION Policy In February 1989 a spokesman for the minister of law and order announced that police had been ordered not to arrest people who contravened the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act of 1953. He said that police headquarters had issued a directive to all divisional commissioners, stipulating that police were not to arrest those contravening the act but to investigate any alleged offence and refer it to the local senior state prosecutor. He added, 'Because the arrest of someone is not regarded lightly by the South African Police, tangible proof must exist that the suspect has in fact committed the offence." In May 1989 the minister of constitutional development and planning, Mr Chris R ' is, said t.hat . e goe'mment was commi.ed ito '%x1A aad equal amenities for all communities on a non-discriminatory basis. Where amenities cannot be duplicated, they must be shared in an orderly fashion. This implies that all communities should be able to make use of such amenities in a civilised and well- ordered way'. Mr Heunis said that he had received a number of requests from industrialists and businessmen for the repeal of the act, as a result of 'difficulties' in towns where Conservative Party-controlled local authorities had reintroduced segregation (see 1988/89 Survey p28). He believed, however, that the repeal of the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act was unacceptable. He reiterated that the government would not 'at this stage' proceed with legislation to prevent the CP from reintroducing petty apartheid.2 In an address to the federal congress of the National Party (NP) in Pretoria in June 1989 the minister of home affairs and of communications, Mr Stoffel Botha, reiterated the government's policy regarding public amenities, which remained identical to the policy outlined in February 1988 (see 1988/89 Survey p26), ie some public amenities would be shared by all races, but 'certain population groups had a need for their own amenities'.
