  • Democracy As a Fortuitous By-Product of Independence UN Intervention and Democratization in Namibia
    Taiwan Journal of Democracy, Volume 5, No.1: 27-50 Democracy as a Fortuitous By-product of Independence UN Intervention and Democratization in Namibia Christof Hartmann Abstract Democratization of Namibia was a more or less fortuitous by-product of independence. Universal suffrage was the rallying cry in the racially dominated system of South African Apartheid rule in Namibia because it equalled independence. It was thus the participatory aspect of democracy which allowed the acceptance of a liberal constitution and a set of democratic institutions. Independence meant that the armed liberation movement simply took over the state. External UN intervention was still crucial in creating a level playing ground for the first free and fair elections. UNTAG success was helped by a clear Chapter VI mandate, decisive leadership, a thinly populated country, and a South African administration which was no longer controlled by hardliners. International negotiations over Resolution 435 started fifteen years before their implementation, and international actors were integral to keeping the parties to its promises. External actors thus played a major and supporting role in the background. Key words: Namibia, independence, democratization, South Africa, UNTAG. There was a time when the promotion of democracy after civil wars seemed to be a manageable task. It was a time in the early 1990s when the United Nations was believed to finally assume its role as a powerful promoter of peace and security and to be able to shape the political destiny of populations toward a peaceful co-existence; this included the right to democratic governance. The UN experience in Namibia was partly responsible for this euphoria.

  • NEW CONTREE STUDENT STRUGGLES in TERTIARY EDUCATION in SOUTH AFRICA DURING Kiran Odhav (Department of Education, University of N
    110 NEW CONTREE STUDENT STRUGGLES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA DURING THE 19805 Kiran Odhav (Department of Education, University of North West) Introduction This paper looks at the 1980s in terms of student resistance in South Africa. It is not a comprehensive survey of all student activities, merely a summary.' An outline of student campaigns introduces the topic, and we then concentrate on the two types of universities, 'historically White' (HWU's) and 'historically Black' (HBU's). This may appear to be an artificial classification of the university sector. Nevertheless, for convenience, we shall use the classification (HWU/HBU's) to organise our data of resistance during the 1980s. This resistance was obviously much more concentrated at the HBU's. Historically too, there was a wealth of political and other kinds of resistance at the HBU's to aspects of the tertiary system, the social structure, and specifically to apartheid's Bantustan system. Finally, the distinction between 'historically White .u~iversities' and 'historically Black univers!ties' is made in the li~ht of an educational system that was the product of a colomallegacy and apartheid. I wish to categorize resistance data in terms of four specific aspects: .Political resistance. This includes resistance within the university but primarily against the state or Bantustan concerned. .Resistance specifically regarding financial issues including corruption and the abuse of power. This is done for logistical convenience, due to the intensity and pervasiveness of politics in all areas of resistance. .Academic resistance and access related issues. These include all aspects of resistance by students in the academic sphere, whether against graduation ceremonies or such concerns as access to universities or residences.

  • Common Purpose’: the Crowd and the Public
    ‘Common Purpose’: The Crowd and the Public Ulrike Kistner* *U. Kistner Department of Philosophy, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Hatfield, Pretoria 2008, South Africa e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The legal doctrine of ‘common purpose’ in South African criminal law considers all parties liable who have been in implicit or explicit agreement to commit an unlawful act, and associated with each other for that purpose, even if the consequential act has been carried out by one of them. It relieves the prosecution of proving the causal link between the conduct of an individual member of a group acting in common purpose, and the ultimate consequence caused by the action of the group as a whole. The National Prosecuting Authority’s controversial and vociferously challenged decision (initially upheld, then withdrawn at the beginning of September 2012) to charge 270 demon- strators at Lonmin Platinum Mine in Marikana with the murders of 34 colleagues under the ‘common purpose’ doctrine, implying liability by association or agreement, raises the question as to the constitution and characteristics of the crowd and of the public, respectively. This article outlines the history of the application of the common purpose rule in South Africa, to then examine ‘common purpose’ within the philosophical parameters of group psychology and collective intentionality. It argues for methodological individualism within a psychoanalytic theorisation of group dynamics, and a non-summative approach to collective intentionality, in addressing some problems in the conceptualisation of group formation. Keywords Collective action Á Common purpose Á Complicity Á Group psychology Á Implied mandate Á Imputation of liability Á Individual psychology Á Intention 1 The decision by South Africa’s National Prosecution Authority (NPA)1 to charge 270 arrested miners who had been demonstrating at Lonmin Platinum Mine in Marikana with the murders of 34 colleagues who had been shot by the police on 16 August 2012, was met with a public outcry at the time.
