Umehani Khan Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for The A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE LIFE OF SIBUSISIWE MAKANYA AND HER WORK As EDUCATOR AND SOCIAL WORKER IN THE UMBUMBULU DISTRICT OF NATAL 1894-1971 Umehani Khan Submittedin partial fulfilmentof the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Women's Studies), Universityof Natal, Durban. 1995 ABSTRACT Thisis a study of thelife of Sibusisiwe Makanya and her work as an educator and social worker in Umbumbulu, a peri urban area on thesouth coast of Natal. In this construction of her lifeI have referred to the Makanya Papers, housed in the Killie Campbell Africana Library; the RheinhalltJones papers and theBantu Youth League papers, housed in theSouth African Institute of Race Relationspapers at the University of the Witwatersrand's Historical Papers Collection;the Forman Collection at the University of Cape Town; and thepapers of theSecond Annual Conference of theZulu Society housed in theNatal Archives, Pietermaritzburg. There are no direct kith or kin alive today who could be interviewedto provide detailed perspectives about the life of Sibusisiwe. However, threepeople, who had known her, have been interviewed for information thatsheds more light on the life and timesin which she lived. Sibusisiwe Makanya's life demonstratesan interestingdeparture from what was generally perceived to be the status and role of women inAfrican rural society in the early years of thiscentury. To a considerable extent, she was among a vanguard--challenging an array of traditionaland sexist array of forces blocking her path. Throughthis she created a space for other women to renegotiateor avoid theroles thattheir society had determined for them. This thesis is divided into six chapters: Chapter One positionsSibusisiwe Makanya in her historical period and attempts to answer some issues relatingto representationand the nature of biographical writingas it has arisen in. South African Women's Studies and theconcern relating to silences and lacunaein evidence regarding Sibusisiwe. Chapter Two deals with the life and work of Sibusisiwe before she left to study in the USA. Chapter Three discusses her sojourn in America and theeducational and personal challenges she had to deal with. Chapter Four explores the nature of work she initiatedas a social worker in a rural/ peri urban area of SouthAfrica. Chapter Five discusses her work as she became more firmly established and as she became a role model fo otherwomen, bothfor her dedicated community work and for her selfactualisation. Chapter Six draws togetherthe various themes discussed in thethesis and explains the relevance of Sibusisiwe's work for the new SouthAfrica.

The main objectives of the project are to map out her life; explore the way her life throws light on the changing nature of gender relations in an Africanrurafarea of Natal and the extent to which she challenged established social norms and expectations; see how her perspectives on issues were modified by the socio-political concerns of her times; assess the impact of her work on her community and outside her community;and assess to what extent she provided a role model for young people, particularly young women. Finally, this dissertation challenges the perception held by some researchers that individui;ilssuch as Sibusisiwe Makanya remained static and iconographic examples of "types" of New Africans. Sibusisiwe Makanya was an extraordinary woman whose life traversed key decades in modern South African history. The focus of her life work was directed towards communityinvolvement. Sibusisiwe Makanya was the first Zulu woman to undertake academic study in the U.S.A. In her lifetime she became known as 'Leader of her People. '1 She spent much of her adulthood teachingat Imbizana and Inanda Seminary from 1916 to 1927, was secretary of the Purity League in 1930 and established the Umbumbulu Community Centre and Sibusisiwe High School, which stands today (see appendix for map). She travelled through KwaZulu Natal and parts of Transvaal lecturing on hygiene, domestic crafts and the benefits of home vegetable gardens. She spent 20 years giving night lessons to herd boys, adult education classes, women's classes in sewing, knitting, cooking and gardening and summerclasses for community workers. She presented papers at various inter-racial conferencesand formed links with 'civic leaders, social workers, politicians and educators in Southern Africa and abroad. Her contacts included people such as Marguerite Malherbe, Mabel Palmer, Dr Carney--Professor of Rural 7 Psychology and Sociology at Columbia University, New York-- A.W.G. Champion and Dr John L. Dube. Analysis of her work reveals that she was a far sighted and talented woman who transcended established gender boundaries as well as challenged racial oppression in a unique, usually non confrontational yet poignantly effective manner. It is a century since the birthof Sibusisiwe Makanya. She was born on 4 October 1894 in Umbumbulu and she died almost a quarter of a century ago in Umbumbulu on the 23September 1971. Yet the prominence and distinction of her life's work has not been duly recognised nor accorded a place amongst the multifarious attempts, analogous to spotlights, which continually enlighten, inform and broaden our knowledge of Natal's history. The only published record of the life of Sibusisiwe Makanya is contained in Shula Marks1s edited volume Not Either an Experimental Doll.2 This book explores the relationship of threewomen in Natal through letters written between 1949 and 1951. One of the correspondents was Sibusisiwe but the focus of the book is no� on Sibusisiwe Makanya or her life. A biography of Sibusisiwe Makanya by Myrtle Trowbridge exists in manuscript form within the Makanya Papers in the Killie Campbell Library. Trowbridge1s unpublished biography, which is the only written source available on Sibusisiwe's early life, however, stops in 1956. Despite the evidence available within the Makanya Papers there still exists enormous gaps and silences in knowledge regarding Sibusisiwe's life, her thoughts and her plans of action with regard to her work and interests in her field of social work. REPRESENTATIONS This project then, is a life history

  • 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”.

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.

  • The Growth of Feminist Themes from Anti-Apartheid to the Present
    Ghent University Department African Languages and Cultures Academic Year 2015-2016 The Growth of Feminist Themes from Anti-Apartheid to the Present Using the Autobiographical Work of Three Female Writers: Ellen Kuzwayo, Sindiwe Magona and Pregs Govender Supervisor: Dr. Annelies Verdoolaege (African Languages and Cultures, Ghent University) Co-supervisor: Prof. Yves T’Sjoen (Department of Literary Studies, Ghent University) Master thesis, submitted to achieve the degree of Master in African Languages and Cultures by CAITLIN SABBE 2 Preface First of all, I wish to thank professor Desiree Lewis, whose insights regarding gender studies in South Africa were invaluable. Furthermore, she has taught literary studies as well at different universities and already did some research regarding autobiographical work of South African women. Without her knowledge of literary and popular culture, global feminist knowledges and politics and postcolonial writing and culture, I would not have been able to define the different theories I needed to analyse the autobiographies of Ellen Kuzwayo, Sindiwe Magona and Pregs Govender. She handed me a starting point for each autobiography by pointing out the theories of motherhood, sisterhood and gender and power and by referring to several authors I would need to explore these theories. Our endless one-to-one conversations were very inspirational and, more importantly, motivational. Special thanks go to all the other professors and masters students I have met during my fieldwork at the Department of Gender and Women Studies at the University of the Western Cape in Bellville, South Africa. Their assistance and advice helped me a great deal. Especially the stimulating conversations I shared with Renee Titus, Zulfa Abrahams, Dawn Bosman and Monique Van Vuuren helped in the realization of my fieldwork.

  • Race, Gender and Imperialism: a Century of Black Girls' Education in South Africa
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE Race, Gender and Imperialism: A Century of Black Girls' Education in South Africa Deborah Gaitskell Introduction It is striking how relatively absent women are from John Mackenzie's recent discussion of popular imperialism, that late nineteenth century cluster of 'monarchism, militarism and Social Darwinism' infusing and propagated by every organ of British life. The relative dearth of research on women and empire partly reflects, of course, what masculine activities war and conquest have been, but it is still surprising that, after pointing to female emigration schemes, he has only two other - admirable - pieces of work to refer to: Brian Harrison's on the imperial enthusiasm of the Girls' Friendly Society and Anna Davin's portrayal of the concern for a healthy race of imperial sons which informed much schooling for motherhood and social projects for women at the turn of the century. (1) British socio-educational research, however, has been underlining how for both boys and girls very gender-specific emphases have been stressed in education, with some relevance for empire. Male public school 'athleticism' aimed to foster 'manliness' of character, embracing 'antithetical values - success, aggression and ruthlessness, yet victory within the rules, courtesy in triumph, compassion for the defeated.' As athleticism fused in the late Victorian period with imperial Darwinism, it prepared boys for military and administrative service to empire. (2) By contrast, girls' education of the same period was still, after a generation of pioneering expansion, a preparation for 'women's mission' - femininity and domesticity.

  • The Collected Writings of Anton M. Lembede to Be Published by Skotaville Press in 1995
    1 ANTON MUZIWAKHE LEMBEDE This essay is an introduction to Freedom in Our Lifetime: The Collected Writings of Anton M. Lembede to be published by Skotaville Press in 1995. The editors are Luyanda ka Msumza, a community organizer at the Quaker Peace Centre in Cdpe Town and Robert Edgar, Professor of African Studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C. On Easter Sunday 1944 a group of young political activists gathered at the Bantu Men's Social Centre in Orlando township to launch the African National Congress Youth League. Motivated by their desire to shake up the "Old Guard" in the African National Congress (ANC) and set the ANC on a militant course, this "Class of '44“ became the nucleus of a remarkable generation of African leaders - Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Jordan Ngubane, Ellen Kuzwayo, Albertina Sisulu, A.P. Mda, Dan Tloome, and David Bopape - many of whom remained at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and equality in South Africa for the next half century. However, in 1944, the figure the Youth Leaguers turned to for their first president is not even listed in this group. He was a Natal-born lawyer, Anton Muziwakhe Lembede. Known to his friends as "Lembs," Lembede was a political neophyte when he moved from the Orange Free State to Johannesburg in 1943 to practice law. However his sharp intellect, fiery personality, and unwavering commitment to the struggle made an immediate impression on his peers, and he was quickly catapulted into prominence in both the Youth League and the parent ANC.
