  • The Role and Application of the Union Defence Force in the Suppression of Internal Unrest, 1912 - 1945
    THE ROLE AND APPLICATION OF THE UNION DEFENCE FORCE IN THE SUPPRESSION OF INTERNAL UNREST, 1912 - 1945 Andries Marius Fokkens Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Military Science (Military History) at the Military Academy, Saldanha, Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Lieutenant Colonel (Prof.) G.E. Visser Co-supervisor: Dr. W.P. Visser Date of Submission: September 2006 ii Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously submitted it, in its entirety or in part, to any university for a degree. Signature:…………………….. Date:………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The use of military force to suppress internal unrest has been an integral part of South African history. The European colonisation of South Africa from 1652 was facilitated by the use of force. Boer commandos and British military regiments and volunteer units enforced the peace in outlying areas and fought against the indigenous population as did other colonial powers such as France in North Africa and Germany in German South West Africa, to name but a few. The period 1912 to 1945 is no exception, but with the difference that military force was used to suppress uprisings of white citizens as well. White industrial workers experienced this military suppression in 1907, 1913, 1914 and 1922 when they went on strike. Job insecurity and wages were the main causes of the strikes and militant actions from the strikers forced the government to use military force when the police failed to maintain law and order.

  • John Keene Interviewed by Mike Cadman 19/09/07 Former Regimental Sergeant Major – Rand Light Infantry
    1 John Keene interviewed by Mike Cadman 19/09/07 Former Regimental Sergeant Major – Rand Light Infantry TAPE ONE SIDE A Interviewer Can you give me a bit of a background about how you came to be in the military, when you started, just a little sort of thumbnail sketch of your career in the military. John Keene I was born in 1946, which is nine months after the end of the Second World War. And I went to Maritz Brothers College, Inanda. My father had been in the Rand Light Infantry during the Second World War and had been badly wounded at ? My grandfather on my father’s side was a merchant navy captain and he had been responsible for landing Anzac troops in the Dardanelles during the First World War. My mother’s father came out to South Africa in Imperial Military Railways during the Anglo Boer War. So throughout my life I considered that warfare was a natural part of human existence. Through my father I knew all of his comrades in the Rand Light Infantry (RLI), and I’d formed a picture of what the army should be like. At school we were mostly English speaking boys and most of our fathers had also served in the Second World War in one or other of the arms, either the air force, the army or the navy. And the mindset that we had developed at that stage was that our fathers had fought a war for liberation of the human race and that the world offered a lot.

  • Music and Militarisation During the Period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus
    Music and Militarisation during the period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus Martha Susanna de Jongh Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Stephanus Muller Co-supervisor: Professor Ian van der Waag December 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 29 July 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In the absence of literature of the kind, this study addresses the role of music in militarising South African society during the time of the South African Border War (1966-1989). The War on the border between Namibia and Angola took place against the backdrop of the Cold War, during which the apartheid South African government believed that it had to protect the last remnants of Western civilization on the African continent against the communist onslaught. Civilians were made aware of this perceived threat through various civilian and military channels, which included the media, education and the private business sector. The involvement of these civilian sectors in the military resulted in the increasing militarisation of South African society through the blurring of boundaries between the civilian and the military.

  • Celebrating Forty Years of Films Worth Talking About
    2 NOV 18 6 DEC 18 1 | 2 NOV 18 - 6 DEC 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSEcinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT Move over, Braveheart! Last month saw the culmination of our 40th anniversary celebrations here at Filmhouse, and it has been hugely interesting time (for me at any rate!) comparing the us of now with the us of then. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time talking to Filmhouse’s first Artistic Director, Jim Hickey, and finding out in more detail than I knew what myriad ways the business of running Filmhouse has stayed the same and the as many ways it has not (one of these days I’ll write it all down and you can find out how interesting it is for yourselves!). UK film distribution itself has changed immeasurably – the dawn of the multiplex in the latter half of the 1980s saw to that. Back in 1978, Filmhouse itself was part of a sort of movement that saw the birth of a number of similar venues around the UK whose aim was to show a kind of cinema (predominantly foreign language) that simply was not catered for within mainstream film exhibition. Despite 40 years having passed and much having changed, the notion of an audience-driven, ‘curated’ cinema like Filmhouse remains something of a film exhibition anomaly; and something Jim Hickey wrote 30+ years ago rings just as true today as it did then: “But best of all, the new cinemas are being run by those who care about audiences as well as the films that they have paid to watch.” Now, we’ve got a bit of a first for you in November, for we have metaphorically got into bed with Netflix to give one of their films a hugely deserved, exclusive, short run in a cinema – namely David Mackenzie’s splendidly entertaining Robert the Bruce epic, Outlaw King.

Pourtant, lorsqu’il tombe sur son vieil ami Billy, un petit voyou à la recherche d’un complice, il accepte de l’aider en échange d’un toit. Incapable de rompre avec son passé, Mitchel fait la connaissance de Charlotte, une star de cinéma terrée dans un luxueux hôtel particulier pour échapper aux hordes de paparazzi, dont il devient rapidement le garde personnel. Charlotte et Mitchel se rapprochent, envisageant même ensemble une nouvelle vie à Los Angeles. Mais il a déjà attiré l’attention de Gant, un puissant parrain de la pègre, qui voit en lui un atout précieux pour ses affaires.
