His administration focus ed on dismantling apartheid's legacy, and cutting racism, poverty and inequality . Politically a democratic socialist, he served as president of the African Nati onal Congress (ANC) political party from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary-General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999. A Xhosa born to the Thembu royal family, Mandela attended Fort Hare University a nd the University of Witwatersrand, studying law. Living in Johannesburg townshi ps and becoming involved in anti-colonial politics, he joined the ANC, becoming a founding member of its Youth League. When the white supremacist National Party government implemented apartheid in 1948, he rose to prominence in the ANC's 19 52 Defiance Campaign, being elected president of the Transvaal ANC branch and ov erseeing the 1955 Congress of the People. Working as a lawyer, he was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and with the ANC leadership stood on the Trea son Trial from 1956 to 1961. Although initially committed to non-violent protest , in association with the South African Communist Party he co-founded the milita nt Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) in 1961, leading a bombing campaign against government targets. In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to ov erthrow the government, being sentenced to life imprisonment. Mandela served time in Robben Island, Pollsmoor Prison, and then Victor Verster Prison while an international campaign lobbied for his release, which was grante d after 27 years in 1990. Becoming ANC president, Mandela wrote his autobiograph y, and led negotiations with President F.W. de Klerk to abolish apartheid and es tablish multi-racial elections in 1994, in which he led the ANC to a landslide v ictory. As president, he created a new constitution and initiated the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses, while introdu cing policies aimed at land reform, combating poverty and expanding healthcare. Internationally, he acted as mediator between Libya and the United Kingdom in th e Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial, and oversaw a military intervention in Lesoth o. Refusing to run for a second term and succeeded by his deputy Thabo Mbeki, Ma ndela became an elder statesman focusing on charitable work in combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Mandela has received international acclaim for his anti-colonial and anti-aparth eid stance, having received over 250 awards, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Priz e, the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Soviet Order of Lenin. He is h eld in deep respect within South Africa as the "Father of the Nation", where he is often known under his Xhosa clan name of Madiba. Controversial for much of hi s life, critics denounced him as a terrorist and communist sympathiser.

Nelson's mother was Gadla's third wife, Nosekeni Fanny, who was daughter of Nked ama of the Right Hand House and a member of the amaMpemvu clan of Xhosa.[7] "No one in my family had ever attended school [...] On the first day of school m y teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name. This was the custom a mong Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our e ducation. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why this particular name I have no idea." Mandela, 1994.[8] Later stating that his early life was dominated by "custom, ritual and taboo",[9 ] Mandela grew up with two sisters in his mother's kraal in the village of Qunu, where he tended herds as a cattle-boy, spending much time outside with other bo ys.[10] Both his parents were illiterate, but being a devout Christian, his moth er sent him to a local Methodist school when he was about seven. Baptised a Meth odist, Mandela was given the English forename of "Nelson" by his teacher.[11] Wh en Mandela was about nine, his father came to stay at Qufu, where he died of an undiagnosed ailment which Mandela believed to be lung disease.[12] Feeling "cut adrift", he later asserted that he inherited his father's "proud rebelliousness" and "stubborn sense of fairness".[13] His mother took Mandela to the "Great Place" palace at Mqhekezweni, where he was entrusted under the guardianship of Thembu regent, Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo. Raised by Jongintaba and his wife Noengland alongside their son Justice and dau ghter Nomafu, Mandela felt that they treated him as their son, but would not see his mother for many years.[14] As Mandela attended church services every Sunday with his guardians, Christianity became a significant part of his life.[15] He attended a Methodist mission school located next to the palace, studying English , Xhosa, history and geography.[16] He developed a love of African history, list ening to the tales told by elderly visitors to the palace, and becoming influenc ed by the anti-imperialist rhetoric of Chief Joyi;[17] he nevertheless considere d the European colonialists as benefactors, not oppressors.[18] Aged 16, he, Jus tice and several other boys traveled to Tyhalarha to undergo the circumcision ri tual that symbolically marked their transition from boys to men; the rite over, he was given the name "Dalibunga".[19] Clarkebury, Healdtown and Fort Hare: 19361940 Mandela, circa 1937 Intending to gain skills needed to become a privy councillor for the Thembu roya l house, Mandela began his secondary education at Clarkebury Boarding Institute in Engcobo, a Western-style institution that was the largest school for black Af ricans in Thembuland.[20] Made to socialise with other students on an equal basi s, he claimed that he lost his "stuck up" attitude, becoming best friends with a girl for the first time; he began playing sports

  • Apartheid, Liberalism and Romance a Critical Investigation of the Writing of Joy Packer
    UNIVERSITY OF UMEÅ DISSERTATION ISSN 0345-0155 ISBN 91-7191-140-5 From the Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, Umeå University, Sweden Apartheid, Liberalism and Romance A Critical Investigation of the Writing of Joy Packer AN ACADEMIC DISSERTATION which will, on the proper authority of the Chancellor’s Office of Umeå University for passing the doctoral examination, be publicly defended in hörsal F, Humanisthuset, on Friday, 23rd February 1996, at 3.15 p.m. John A Stotesbury Umeå University Umeå 1996 Abstract This is the first full-length study of the writing of the South African Joy Packer (1905-1977), whose 17 works of autobiography and romantic fiction were primarily popular. Packer’s writing, which appeared mainly between 1945 and 1977, blends popular narrative with contemporary social and political discourses. Her first main works, three volumes of memoirs published between 1945 and 1953, cover her experience of a wide area of the world before, during and after the Second World War: South Africa, Britain, the Mediterranean and the Balkans, and China. In the early 1950s she also toured extensive areas of colonial "Darkest Africa." When Packer retired to the Cape with her British husband, Admiral Sir Herbert Packer, after an absence of more than 25 years, she adopted fiction as an alternative literary mode. Her subsequent production, ten popular romantic novels and a further three volumes of memoirs, is notable for the density of its sociopolitical commentary on contemporary South Africa. This thesis takes as its starting-point the dilemma, formulated by the South African critic Dorothy Driver, of the white woman writing within a colonial environment which compels her to adopt contradictory, ambivalent and oblique discursive stances and strategies.

  • Nelson Mandela
    Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela was a very important person in the South African anti-apartheid movement having spent twenty-seven years in prison for fighting against the government. He was also the first black South African President from 1994–1999. Apartheid (say: a-part-hite) was the separation of black and white people in South Africa. Early Life Nelson Mandela was named Rolihlahla Mandela when he was born in Mvezo (say: m-vay-zo), South Africa on 18th July 1918. He was given the name Nelson by his teacher at school. He did well at school and went to the University of Fort Hare. However, he was expelled because he joined a student protest. When he returned home, his family told him he they would arrange a marriage for him if he did not return to Fort Hare to finish his degree. Mandela ran away to the city of Johannesburg (say: Joe-han-ez-burg) where he managed to finish his degree through the University of South Africa and eventually became a lawyer. Politics and Prison From 1942, he was becoming more and more involved with politics and by 1944, he helped create the youth section of the African National Congress (ANC), a political party in South Africa. Later, in 1952, he was chosen as the National Volunteer-in-Chief of the Defiance Campaign which was a movement to fight against apartheid. The following years were full of fighting and arrests because of trying to stop apartheid. In 1962, he was arrested again and given a life sentence in 1964.

  • South Africa
    South Africa r OR THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA, 1990 was one of the most dra- matic, exciting, and, at the same time, bewildering periods in recent history. It was a year in which radical government action hastened the dismantling of apartheid and further threatened the traditionally dominant and privileged position of whites. Jews shared the anxieties of other whites about the future and were also mindful of their own potential role as scapegoats during the painful adjustments to come. They were worried, too, about the apparent growth of black anti-Semitism and how this might afiFect them in the new South Africa.' National Affairs On February 2, 1990, Pres. F.W. de Klerk stated in his opening speech to Parliament that the government had decided to lift the ban on all prohibited organi- zations, including the African National Congress (ANC), as well as to release, unconditionally, ANC leader Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners. Fur- thermore, the three-year-old "state of emergency" would be relaxed in regard to media curbs, conditions imposed on released emergency detainees, and restrictions on some 33 organizations. He also announced the repeal of the Separate Amenities Act of 1953, which comprised the discriminatory laws generally referred to as "petty apartheid." De Klerk's speech marked the beginning of a new phase in the process of political reform that had been initiated more than a decade earlier by his predecessor, P. W. Botha, in response to growing doubts within the National party about the continued viability of apartheid and to various political and economic developments during the late 1960s and 1970s.
