I assume that this citizens of Durban I welcome you and wish you an was an easy decision to make since Durban is widely enjoyable stay and a successful conference. recognized as the Conference Capital of Africa. LIASA also has to be congratulated on its 10th anni­ versary which it celebrates in 2007. The Ethekwini municipality mayor, councillor Obed Mlaba - library and information association Hosting such a prestigious event is momentous not of South Africa only for Durban and South Africa but also for the African continent and I am pleased to see so many African delegates present. It is indeed a great pleasure and honour to welcome librarians from all over the world to Durban - South Africa's beach city. I know that the Conference programme includes a tour of Durban and its environs. We, who live here, are proud of our city and find great pleasure in sha­ ring its qualities with our visitors. Durban is rich in the diversity of its inhabitants and their cultures both of which you will get to know and experience. The theme for the Conference is "Libraries for the Future, Progress, Development and Partnerships". Libraries by allowing citizens easy access to knowled­ ge and information, contribute to democracy in a very special way. The South African Government recognizes the value of libraries and their role in providing easy access to information and has put aside a sum of R1 billion over three years to develop and upgrade public/community libraries. 2 INVITATION FROM LIASA AND THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ____________________________________________________________________ The Library and Information Association of South Many of your members would have taken a stand Africa (LIASA) and the National Committee are ple­ against Apartheid; they will be able to celebrate the ased to welcome you to the World Library and pearls of their solidarity." I n f o r mation Congress: 73rd IFLA General Conference and Council, Durban 2007. We are looking forward to welcoming the IFLA community in South Africa in August 2007. The community of library and information professio­ nals in South Africa is both delighted and honoured that IFLA is hosting this prestigious international Ellen Remona Tise event in our country. There is wide interest and Chair, National Committee extensive support from colleagues globally to partici­ pate in the conference and share with us their inter­ national library experience(s). We are certain that, not only those of us in the African region, but ever­ yone who has the opportunity to attend the confe­ rence and visit our unique country, will engage in a once-in-a-lifetime experience and be enriched by what we have to offer. We are excited and very proud to announce that 2007 will be a significant year for LIASA and the library and information profession in post-apartheid South Africa - it will be LIASA's 10th Anniversary. Seeing that IFLA played such a major and instru­ mental role in the formation and development of LIASA, it will be most appropriate for LIASA to celebrate this milestone with the whole IFLA com­ munity in 2007. As stated in his letter of support by the then Minister of Education, Professor Kader Asmal in 2001, "The opportunity to host the IFLA conference would not only contribute positively towards our country's need to interact with the world, but would impact on the library profession on the rest of the African continent. It would give IFLA members and confe­ rence delegates from all over the globe the opportu­ nity to observe and experience first hand the strides made by our country since becoming a democracy a decade ago. 3 ABOUT IFLA Rare Books and Manuscripts _________________ Serials and Other Continuing Resources Reference and Information Services IFLA (The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) is the leading interna­ VI Division of Management and Technology tional body representing the interests of library and Preservation and Conservation information services and their users.

  • Ungovernability and Material Life in Urban South Africa
    “WHERE THERE IS FIRE, THERE IS POLITICS”: Ungovernability and Material Life in Urban South Africa KERRY RYAN CHANCE Harvard University Together, hand in hand, with our boxes of matches . we shall liberate this country. —Winnie Mandela, 1986 Faku and I stood surrounded by billowing smoke. In the shack settlement of Slovo Road,1 on the outskirts of the South African port city of Durban, flames flickered between piles of debris, which the day before had been wood-plank and plastic tarpaulin walls. The conflagration began early in the morning. Within hours, before the arrival of fire trucks or ambulances, the two thousand house- holds that comprised the settlement as we knew it had burnt to the ground. On a hillcrest in Slovo, Abahlali baseMjondolo (an isiZulu phrase meaning “residents of the shacks”) was gathered in a mass meeting. Slovo was a founding settlement of Abahlali, a leading poor people’s movement that emerged from a burning road blockade during protests in 2005. In part, the meeting was to mourn. Five people had been found dead that day in the remains, including Faku’s neighbor. “Where there is fire, there is politics,” Faku said to me. This fire, like others before, had been covered by the local press and radio, some journalists having been notified by Abahlali via text message and online press release. The Red Cross soon set up a makeshift soup kitchen, and the city government provided emergency shelter in the form of a large, brightly striped communal tent.

Through the TB Blitz Campaign the department aims to achieve the following: • Improving the capacity to detect TB • Achieve earlier detection of TB • Support patients to ensure continuum of care • Increase rates for successful treatment and cure This will in turn improve cure rates, decrease the number of TB deaths and most importantly assist in lowering the rate of defaulters, which would prevent multi-drug resistance TB (MDR). MDR is caused by poor adherence to TB treatment. KwaZulu- Natal has seen a steady increase in the number of MDR TB at Tugela Ferry in Umsinga. The TB Blitz Campaign will kick-off with door-to-door visits in areas around Durban and will end with a community event at Hammarsdale Stadium which will start at 11h00. The TB Blitz campaign comes after the National Minister of Health together with MEC’s of Health resolved to hold a campaign as a matter of urgency to create more awareness about the serious TB crisis KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces.

  • History Workshop
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG HISTORY WORKSHOP STRUCTURE AND EXPERIENCE IN THE MAKING OFAPARTHEID 6-10 February 1990 AUTHOR: Iain Edwards and Tim Nuttall TITLE: Seizing the moment : the January 1949 riots, proletarian populism and the structures of African urban life in Durban during the late 1940's 1 INTRODUCTION In January 1949 Durban experienced a weekend of public violence in which 142 people died and at least 1 087 were injured. Mobs of Africans rampaged through areas within the city attacking Indians and looting and destroying Indian-owned property. During the conflict 87 Africans, SO Indians, one white and four 'unidentified' people died. One factory, 58 stores and 247 dwellings were destroyed; two factories, 652 stores and 1 285 dwellings were damaged.1 What caused the violence? Why did it take an apparently racial form? What was the role of the state? There were those who made political mileage from the riots. Others grappled with the tragedy. The government commission of enquiry appointed to examine the causes of the violence concluded that there had been 'race riots'. A contradictory argument was made. The riots arose from primordial antagonism between Africans and Indians. Yet the state could not bear responsibility as the outbreak of the riots was 'unforeseen.' It was believed that a neutral state had intervened to restore control and keep the combatants apart.2 The apartheid state drew ideological ammunition from the riots. The 1950 Group Areas Act, in particular, was justified as necessary to prevent future endemic conflict between 'races'. For municipal officials the riots justified the future destruction of African shantytowns and the rezoning of Indian residential and trading property for use by whites.
