When Mandela danced in the square – Lessons for young citizens from the Scottish anti-apartheid movement Introduction to Mandela’s life and reading extracts 1-6 Mandela’s life (for reading to learners) Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela into the Madiba clan in the village of Mvezo, in the Eastern Cape. His mother was Nonqaphi Nosekeni and his father was Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, principal counsellor to the Acting King of theThembu people, Jongintaba Dalindyebo. From https://www.nelsonmandela.org/content/page/biography Extract 1: Childhood As a young boy he was tall for his age, and was a fast runner. He hunted buck and, when hungry, stole mealie cobs from the maize fields. He loved the countryside with its grassy rolling hills and the stream which flowed eastward to the Indian Ocean. At night, under Africa's brilliant stars, everyone used to gather around a big open fire to listen to the elders of the tribe. The boy was fascinated by the tales told by these bearded old men. Tales about the 'good old days before the coming of the white man', and tales about the brave acts performed by their ancestors, in defending their country against the European invaders. Those tales, said Mandela many years later when he was on trial for his life, stirred in him a desire to serve his people in their struggle to be free. A desire which eventually led to his becoming the most famous political prisoner of our time – a prisoner with songs written about him and streets named after him. How appropriate that Nelson Mandela's Xhosa name, Rolihlahla, means 'stirring up trouble'.When Nelson first went to school - a school for African pupils – it was a shock to find the history books described only white heroes, and referred to his people as savages and cattle thieves. From‘A desire to serve the people’by Mary Benson Extract 2: School On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school.This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture. Africans of my generation– and even today – generally have both an English and an African name.Whites were either unable or unwilling to pronounce an African name, and considered it uncivilized to have one. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson.Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess.

Section 2: Life of Nelson Mandela / What were the significant events in Nelson Mandela’s life? 31 When Mandela danced in the square – Lessons for young citizens from the Scottish anti-apartheid movement Reading extracts Extract 3: University and becoming a lawyer MANDELA ANDTAMBO said the brass plate on our office door. We practised as attorneys- at-law in Johannesburg in a shabby building across the street from the Magistrates' Court. Chancellor House in Fox Street was one of the few buildings in which African tenants could hire offices.MANDELA ANDTAMBO was written huge across the frosted window panes on the second floor, and the letters stood out like a challenge.To white South Africa it was bad enough that two men with black skins should practise as lawyers, but it was indescribably worse that the letters also spelled out our political partnership. Nelson and I were both born in theTranskei, he one year after me.We were students together at Fort Hare University College. With others we had founded the African National CongressYouth League. We went together into the Defiance Campaign of 1952, into general strikes against the Government and sat in the sameTreasonTrial dock. Extract from‘No EasyWalk to Freedom’– Nelson Mandela by O.RTambo Extract4:TheAfricanNationalCongress and becoming an activist In 1952 the African National Congress organised South Africa’s first nationwide protest against apartheid.The year before the ANC had called for the repeal of six particularly unjust laws.The meeting lasted for three days. Mandela, Sisulu and other members of theYouth League proposed that it was time to confront the government. Unless the government repealed the six unjust laws by April 6, 1952, a campaign of defiance would begin.Volunteers would be organised to defy the oppressive laws – to be called the Defiance Campaign. Mandela recruited 8,577 volunteers. Some wore armbands with the green, gold and black colours of the ANC flag. Black for the people, green for the land and gold for the resources.They set out to use the whites only entrances to railway stations, waiting rooms and post offices, they ignored curfews, entered areas that were forbidden and refused to present their passbooks. For Nelson Mandela, it was his first experience with real political action. It was also the first time he had been arrested and banned. The struggle had begun.

Section 2: Life of Nelson Mandela / What were the significant events in Nelson Mandela’s life? When Mandela danced in the square – Lessons for young citizens from the Scottish anti-apartheid movement Reading extracts Extract 5: Being arrested At 1.30 in the morning, on March 30, 1956 I was awakened by sharp, unfriendly knocks at my door, the unmistakable signature of the police.“The time has come,”I said to myself as I opened the door to find half-a-dozen armed security policemen.They turned the house upside down, taking virtually every piece of paper they could find. I was then arrested without a warrant, and given no opportunity to call my lawyer.They refused to inform my wife as to where I was to be taken. I simply nodded atWinnie; it was no time for words of comfort. Near midnight, we were told we were to be called out, but for what we did not know. I was the first to be called and I was ushered over to the front gate of the prison where I was briefly released in front of a group of police officers. But before I could move, an officer shouted. “Name!”“Mandela,”I said.“Nelson Mandela,”the officer said,“I arrest you under the powers vested in me by the Emergency Regulations.”We were not to be released at all, but rearrested under the terms of what we only then discovered was a State of Emergency.We drafted a memorandum to the commander asking to know our rights. Extract from‘A Long Walk to Freedom’Mandela’s Autobiography Extract 6: Becoming president Nelson Mandela has become South Africa's first black president after more than three centuries of white rule. Mr Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) party won 252 of the 400 seats in the first democratic elections of South Africa's history. The inauguration ceremony took place in the Union Buildings amphitheatre in Pretoria today, attended by politicians and dignitaries from more than 140 countries around the world.

  • Malibongwe Let Us Praise the Women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn
    Malibongwe Let us praise the women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn In 1990, inspired by major political changes in our country, I decided to embark on a long-term photographic project – black and white portraits of some of the South African women who had contributed to this process. In a country previously dominated by men in power, it seemed to me that the tireless dedication and hard work of our mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters needed to be highlighted. I did not only want to include more visible women, but also those who silently worked so hard to make it possible for change to happen. Due to lack of funding and time constraints, including raising my twin boys and more recently being diagnosed with cancer, the portraits have been taken intermittently. Many of the women photographed in exile have now returned to South Africa and a few have passed on. While the project is not yet complete, this selection of mainly high profile women represents a history and inspiration to us all. These were not only tireless activists, but daughters, mothers, wives and friends. Gisele Wulfsohn 2006 ADELAIDE TAMBO 1929 – 2007 Adelaide Frances Tsukudu was born in 1929. She was 10 years old when she had her first brush with apartheid and politics. A police officer in Top Location in Vereenigng had been killed. Adelaide’s 82-year-old grandfather was amongst those arrested. As the men were led to the town square, the old man collapsed. Adelaide sat with him until he came round and witnessed the young policeman calling her beloved grandfather “boy”.

  • The African National Congress Centenary: a Long and Difficult Journey
    The African National Congress centenary: a long and difficult journey RAYMOND SUTTNER* The current political pre-eminence of the African National Congress in South Africa was not inevitable. The ANC was often overshadowed by other organiza- tions and there were moments in its history when it nearly collapsed. Sometimes it was ‘more of an onlooker than an active participant in events’.$ It came into being, as the South African Native National Congress (SANNC)," in $&$", at a time of realignment within both the white and the conquered black communities. In the aftermath of their victory over the Boers in the South African War ($(&&-$&#"), the British were anxious to set about reconciling their former enemies to British rule. This included allowing former Boer territories to continue denying franchise and other rights to Africans, thus disappointing the hopes raised by British under- takings to the black population during the war years. For Africans, this ‘betrayal’ signified that extension of the Cape franchise, which at that time did not discrimi- nate on racial grounds, to the rest of South Africa was unlikely. Indeed, when the Act of Union of $&$# transferred sovereignty to the white population even the Cape franchise was open to elimination through constitutional change—and in course of time it was indeed abolished. The rise of the ANC in context From the onset of white settlement of Africa in $*/", but with particular intensity in the nineteenth century, land was seized and African chiefdoms crushed one by one as they sought to retain their autonomy. The conquests helped address the demand for African labour both by white farmers and, after the discovery of diamonds and gold in $(*% and $((* respectively, by the mining industry.' * I am indebted to Christopher Saunders and Peter Limb for valuable comments, and to Albert Grundlingh and Sandra Swart for insightful discussions.

  • Life and Times of Nelson Mandela the Attorney
    February 2014 Special Feature Life and times of Nelson Mandela the attorney The late Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela will not only be remembered for his outstanding contribution in liberating South Africa but also for his involvement in shaping our legal jurisprudence. His interest in the legal field was influenced by cases that came before the Chief's Courts and the fact that his father was the principal councillor to the Acting Paramount Chief of Thembuland. During 1951, after Mandela completed his articles of clerkship as a candidate attorney at Witkin, Sidelsky and Eidelman and though he was not yet a fully-fledged attorney he was able to draw court pleadings, and consult with clients. He was determined to become a lawyer. He passed his attorney's admission examination and was subsequently conferred the relevant certificate during February 1952, which was constituted under the then provisions of sub-section (1) of s23 of Act 12 of 1916. On March 27 1952, within the jurisdiction of the then Transvaal Provincial Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa (now high court) and before Justice Steyn, Mr Mandela was admit- ted as an attorney and his name was accordingly enrolled as such. He proceeded to work for the law firm Terblanche & Briggish. Mandela often visited his close friend Oliver Tambo during his lunch hour at a law firm called Kovalsky and Tuch, and made a point of sitting in a “white's only chair" in the “whites' only waiting room." Apart from their political involvement in the ranks of student politics at Fort Hare University, Mandela was inspired by the art of legal philosophy as well as the jurisprudential knowledge that Tambo possessed.

  • The Legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli's Christian-Centred Political
    Faith and politics in the context of struggle: the legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli’s Christian-centred political leadership Simangaliso Kumalo Ministry, Education & Governance Programme, School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Abstract Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, a Zulu Inkosi and former President-General of the African National Congress (ANC) and a lay-preacher in the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) is a significant figure as he represents the last generation of ANC presidents who were opposed to violence in their execution of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. He attributed his opposition to violence to his Christian faith and theology. As a result he is remembered as a peace-maker, a reputation that earned him the honour of being the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Also central to Luthuli’s leadership of the ANC and his people at Groutville was democratic values of leadership where the voices of people mattered including those of the youth and women and his teaching on non-violence, much of which is shaped by his Christian faith and theology. This article seeks to examine Luthuli’s legacy as a leader who used peaceful means not only to resist apartheid but also to execute his duties both in the party and the community. The study is a contribution to the struggle of maintaining peace in the political sphere in South Africa which is marked by inter and intra party violence. The aim is to examine Luthuli’s legacy for lessons that can be used in a democratic South Africa.

RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.
