Last year we invested almost R100 million in various initiatives aimed at developing the nation's knowledge and skills base. A large proportion was spent on employee vocational training and development - much of it to make up for deficiencies in schooling. In addition, we continued to be involved in both formal and non- formal education projects. These are just some of them: Tertiary level • Founding donation to the Development Foundation of M L Sultan Technikon, Durban. • Funding 700 bursaries and scholarships a year and subsidising lecturer salaries as part of regular university support. • Sponsoring a chair in industrial engineering at Wits. Secondary level • Alexandra Community Education (ACE) - helping to build the town's first technical college. • Non-racial schooling - sustained support for the New Era Schools Trust (NEST) and the Leadership Education & Advancement Foundation (LEAF). Non-formal education • Support for PROTEC (Programme for Technological Careers) and the Fundikhono basic skills project.

  • Statements from the Dock Mary
    Author : Mary Benson The Sun will Rise: Statements from the Dock by Southern African Political Prisoners Contents James April Introduction Mosioua Robert Lekota Sobukwe Maitshe Nelson Mokoape Mandela Raymond Walter Sisulu Suttner Elias Mosima Motsoaledi Sexwale Andrew Naledi Tsiki Mlangeni Martin Wilton Mkwayi Ramokgadi Bram Fischer Isaac Seko Toivo ja Toivo Stanley Eliaser Nkosi Tuhadeleni Petrus Mothlanthe 1 Introduction This collection of statements made during political trials since 1960 testifies to the high courage, determination and humanity which distinguish the struggle for liberation and for a just society in South Africa and Namibia. The earliest of the statements in the collection is by Robert Sobukwe, late leader of the Pan-Africanist Congress. It expresses a theme running through all the statements: "The history of the human race has been a struggle for the removal of oppression, and we would have failed had we not made our contribution. We are glad we made it". Nelson Mandela`s powerful statement in Pretoria`s Palace of Justice on 20 April 1964, when he and other members of the African National Congress and the Congress Alliance were in the dock in the Rivonia Trial, has become an historic document. Two years later Bram Fischer QC, the advocate who had led the Rivonia defence, was himself on trial in the same court. A large part of the statements made by these two men is reproduced here, along with less well known statements by others on trial during the 1960s. This was the period immediately after the ANC and the PAC were outlawed. The liberation movement`s long-maintained policy of non-violence was finally abandoned for sabotage and armed struggle.

  • 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.

  • Re-Imagining Biko
    PINS, 2013, 45, 83-87 RE-IMAGINING BIKO Mangcu, Xolela (2012) Biko: A biography. Cape Town: Tafelberg. ISBN 978-0-624-05413-9. Pages 348. Derek Hook Department of Psychosocial Studies Birkbeck College University of London London Xolela Mangcu’s recent biography of Steve Biko takes up its place in the contested field of “Biko Studies”. It remains an open question as to why, given the explosion of scholarly interest in Biko, and his ever-increasing popularity as an icon of the liberation struggle, it has taken this long for a self-declared biography of Biko to appear. This is not to say that no previous biographical accounts of Biko have been published. Several have, although they are, for the most part, less biographies than personal testimonies. This is the case, self-admittedly, for both Aelred Stubbs (1978) and Donald Woods (1978), who published two of the earliest overviews of Biko’s life. Stubbs’s essay has been included in all subsequent reprints of Biko’s collected writings, I write what I like, and thus remains a crucial document for students and followers of Biko’s work. Woods’s Biko by contrast, has become somewhat unfashionable, due no doubt in part to the fact that the book – like Cry freedom the film based upon it – slips from telling the story of Biko’s life to focussing instead on Woods’s own story. This, incidentally, is not enough to disqualify the book; it is a repository of much valuable personal and historical information on the foremost leader of South Africa’s Black Consciousness Movement.

Statements, opinions and data contained in these publications are solely those of the individual authors and contributors and not necessarily those of ASRI, the publisher and the editor(s). Feedback: [email protected] The Life of Steve Bantu Biko by South African History Online This article was published on South African History OnlineSouth African History online (SAHO) is a non-partisan people’s history institution. It was established in June 2000 as a non-profit Section 21 organisation, to address the biased way in which South Africa’s history and heritage, as well as the history and heritage of Africa is represented in educational and cultural institutions. Abstract The article is a biography and tribute to Stephen (Steve) Bantu Biko who although was not alone in forging the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM); was nevertheless its most prominent leader, who with others guided the movement of student discontent into a political force unprecedented in the history of South Africa. Biko and his peers were responding to developments that emerged in the high phase of apartheid, when the Nationalist Party (NP), in power for almost two decades, was restructuring the country to conform to its policies of separate development. The NP went about untangling what little pockets of integration and proximity there were between White, Black, Coloured and Indian South Africans, by creating new residential areas, new parallel institutions such as schools, universities and administrative bodies, and indeed, new ‘countries’, the tribal homelands.

    12CH SEARCHLIGHT N? 2 SOUTHS AFRIG Feb. 1989 £3.50 a s o n d Body Count, Natal: 1987 tirj#J* SEARCHLIGHT SOUTH AFRICA FEBRUARY 1989, No. 2 Searchlight South Africa is an independent Socialist journal focussed on Southern Africa, but mindful of the broader world context. Searchlight South Africa will offer analyses from a critical Marxist standpoint, and will open its pages to debate on the central issues affecting the country. There will be place for articles on political economy, politics, and history, and for literary criticism and book reviews. The editors have differing views on events inside South Africa, and this needs no apology. There is need for debate, and for informed discussion on the many problems that face South Africa. But whatever our differences we are agreed that the struggle in South Africa is for socialism, and that the working class will form the vanguard in the movement to transform the country. The struggle is against capital, and in leading the forces that must replace the existing system by a socialist democracy, the working class will remove the oppressive regime, colour discrimination and class exploitation. We believe that our role in this struggle is not to dictate, nor to lay down the rules by which the struggle must be pursued. Rather, we see ourselves as engaged in a dialogue with those working for change, and to this end we will carry surveys and offer analyses that deepen an understanding of the forces at work in the country. We will discuss socialist theory, and show that events in South Africa are part of the wider struggle against capital, all ultimately aimed at building an international socialist commonwealth.
