  • Anti-Apartheid Solidarity in United States–South Africa Relations: from the Margins to the Mainstream
    Anti-apartheid solidarity in United States–South Africa relations: From the margins to the mainstream By William Minter and Sylvia Hill1 I came here because of my deep interest and affection for a land settled by the Dutch in the mid-seventeenth century, then taken over by the British, and at last independent; a land in which the native inhabitants were at first subdued, but relations with whom remain a problem to this day; a land which defined itself on a hostile frontier; a land which has tamed rich natural resources through the energetic application of modern technology; a land which once imported slaves, and now must struggle to wipe out the last traces of that former bondage. I refer, of course, to the United States of America. Robert F. Kennedy, University of Cape Town, 6 June 1966.2 The opening lines of Senator Robert Kennedy’s speech to the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS), on a trip to South Africa which aroused the ire of pro-apartheid editorial writers, well illustrate one fundamental component of the involvement of the United States in South Africa’s freedom struggle. For white as well as black Americans, the issues of white minority rule in South Africa have always been seen in parallel with the definition of their own country’s identity and struggles against racism.3 From the beginning of white settlement in the two countries, reciprocal influences have affected both rulers and ruled. And direct contacts between African Americans and black South Africans date back at least to the visits of American 1 William Minter is editor of AfricaFocus Bulletin (www.africafocus.org) and a writer and scholar on African issues.

  • With the Pac in Exile
    WITH THE PAC IN EXILE Vusi Shange It is not possible to round out the story of resistance in South Africa without including a chapter(at least) on the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). Searchlight South Africa has carried several articles in which there is reference to this movement but they are fragmentary and reflect our inability to get first hand documentary accounts. Formed in 1958, in opposition to the ANC, both on ideological grounds and as protest against the anti-democratic practices of the ANC, the PAC called an anti-pass cam­ paign in 1960. Poorly organized and without adequate preparation, the campaign was a miserable failure. However, the shooting by the police at Sharpeville (in the southern Transvaal) and Langa (near Cape Town) created a nation-wide storm. A pass burning campaign led by Albert Lithuli, president of the ANC, and a national stay-at-home led to the banning of the ANC and the PAC. After violent skirmishes involving the PACs military wing, 'Poqo', in 1962-63, the organisation all but disappeared. It experienced a termporary revival after the brutal crushing of the 1976 students' revolt, but this was quickly dissipated. While many PAC leaders went to jail in 1960 some went into exile where, in 1962, they tried to build a resistance army. The PAC leadership was tom apart by personal rival­ ries, complaints that there was no democracy in the exile movement and by accusations of theft. Some of this is told in Tom Lodge, Black Politics in South Africa Since 1945 (Longman, 1983). What has not been told openly is the story of in-fighting and assas­ sinations.

  • Harrison Higgins December 2017 1 the Bethal Treason Trials the Pan
    Harrison Higgins December 2017 The Bethal Treason Trials The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) was one of the largest organizations that fought apartheid vigorously. The policies set forth by the apartheid state protected white supremacy in both politics and socioeconomics. The PAC consistently had members exiled, detained, or even executed under the conditions of the state’s policies. In the Bethal Treason Trials of December 1977, Zephaniah Mothopeng, the President of the PAC, and seventeen other PAC members were detained under the conditions of the Terrorism Act of 1967. Mothopeng would go on to survive the Bethal Treason Trials, unlike the four Pan Africanist Congress members, Naboath Ntshuntsha, Samuel Malinga, Aaron Khoza, and Sipho Bonaventura Malaza, who were killed during detention and trial in 1977. Robert Sobukwe, the leader of the PAC leading into the Bethal Treason trials, died after falling ill in 1977 shortly after the trials commenced. The government sought to keep the trials out of Johannesburg and detained the PAC men in Bethal, a desolate, rural area of South Africa. The Bethal Trials were initiated by a series of arrests a year after the Soweto Uprisings of 1976. Apartheid officials arrested and detained Africanist freedom fighters under the policies of the Terrorism Act of 1967, in which unannounced arrests and searches by the regime were allowed if public safety was deemed to be at stake. These officials believed that the Soweto uprisings were not spontaneous nor the machinations of school youth and that pre-emptive plans had been discussed by members of the PAC, among them Zephaniah Mothopeng.

Normally the Third World and the West would have welcomed the independence of another black African state but in this case they did not, for Transkei was the first of the Republic of South Africa's black "homelands" to receive independence under that government's multinational develop- ment policy. The Republic was the only state to send diplomatic representatives to the Transkeian independence celebrations and so far has been the only state to recognize the new entity. Transkei is one of nine homelands" set aside by the South African government as the national territory for the tribal groups present in the Republic.2 Its population includes several tribes which share a common background, the Xhosas being the predominant component.
