  • Economic Ascendance Is/As Moral Rightness: the New Religious Political Right in Post-Apartheid South Africa Part
    Economic Ascendance is/as Moral Rightness: The New Religious Political Right in Post-apartheid South Africa Part One: The Political Introduction If one were to go by the paucity of academic scholarship on the broad New Right in the post-apartheid South African context, one would not be remiss for thinking that the country is immune from this global phenomenon. I say broad because there is some academic scholarship that deals only with the existence of right wing organisations at the end of the apartheid era (du Toit 1991, Grobbelaar et al. 1989, Schönteich 2004, Schönteich and Boshoff 2003, van Rooyen 1994, Visser 2007, Welsh 1988, 1989,1995, Zille 1988). In this older context, this work focuses on a number of white Right organisations, including their ideas of nationalism, the role of Christianity in their ideologies, as well as their opposition to reform in South Africa, especially the significance of the idea of partition in these organisations. Helen Zille’s list, for example, includes the Herstigte Nasionale Party, Conservative Party, Afrikaner People’s Guard, South African Bureau of Racial Affairs (SABRA), Society of Orange Workers, Forum for the Future, Stallard Foundation, Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), and the White Liberation Movement (BBB). There is also literature that deals with New Right ideology and its impact on South African education in the transition era by drawing on the broader literature on how the New Right was using education as a primary battleground globally (Fataar 1997, Kallaway 1989). Moreover, another narrow and newer literature exists that continues the focus on primarily extreme right organisations in South Africa that have found resonance in the global context of the rise of the so-called Alternative Right that rejects mainstream conservatism.

  • 31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL
    31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR WOMEN - 2-4 JUNE 1995 The Council's representative at the abovementioned hearing will be Mrs Eva Mahlangu, a teacher at the Filadelfia Secondary School for children with disabilities, Eva has a disability herself. We thank you for the opportunity to comment. It is Council's opinion that many women are disabled because of neglect, abuse and violence and should be protected. Further more Women with Disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups and need to be empowered to take their rightful place in society. According to the United Nations World Programme of Action Concerning Disable Persons: "The consequences of deficiencies and disablement are particularly serious for women. There are a great many countries where women are subjected to social, cultural and economic disadvantages which impede their access to, for example, health care, education, vocational training and employment. If, in addition, they are physically or mentally disabled their chances of overcoming their disablement are diminished, which makes it all the more difficult for them to take part in community life. In families, the responsibility for caring for a disabled parent often lies with women, which considerably limits their freedom and their possibilities of taking part in other activities". The Nairobi Plan of Action for the 1990's also states: Disabled women all over the world are subject to dual discrimination: first, their gender assigns them second-class citizenship; then they are further devalued because of the negative and limited ways the world perceives people with disabilities. Legislation shall guarantee the rights of disabled women to be educated and make decisions about pregnancy, motherhood, adoption, and any medical procedure which affects their ability to reproduce.

    REPORTABLE IN THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL OF SOUTH AFRICA Case Number : 317 / 97 In the matter between : DARRYL GARTH STOPFORTH Appellant and THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE First Respondent THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (AMNESTY COMMITTEE) Second Respondent THE GOVERNMENT OF NAMIBIA Third Respondent THE MINISTER OF SAFETY AND SECURITY Fourth Respondent Case Number : 316 / 97 And in the matter between : LENNERD MICHAEL VEENENDAAL Appellant and THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE First Respondent THE COMMISSION FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION (AMNESTY COMMITTEE) Second Respondent THE GOVERNMENT OF NAMIBIA Third Respondent THE MINISTER OF SAFETY AND SECURITY Fourth Respondent COMPOSITION OF THE COURT : Mahomed CJ; Olivier JA; Melunsky, Farlam and Madlanga AJJA DATE OF HEARING : 7 September 1999 DATE OF JUDGMENT : 27 September 1999 Jurisdiction of Amnesty Committee to grant amnesty for offences committed by South African citizens outside the Republic; extradition. JUDGMENT 2 OLIVIER JA OLIVIER JA [1] In these appeals, similar questions of law have been raised. It is convenient to deal with the appeals at one and the same time. [2] It is common cause that Messrs Stopforth and Veenendaal (citizens of the Republic of South Africa) were, during the incidents described herein, members of what is generally referred to as right-wing Afrikaner organisations, inter alia the AWB (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging) and the Orde Boerevolk. During or about 1989 they, as well as one Klentz, were approached in the RSA by one Brown to participate in underground terrorist activities in the territory then known as South West Africa (“SWA”). The three of them, as well as others, gathered in SWA, where they were issued with weapons of war: rifle grenades, anti-personnel and anti-tank missiles, phosphorous grenades, explosive devices and rifles.

  • 4 Chapter Four: the African Ubuntu Philosophy
    4 CHAPTER FOUR: THE AFRICAN UBUNTU PHILOSOPHY A person is a person through other persons. None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. (Tutu, 2004:25). 4.1 INTRODUCTION Management practices and policies are not an entirely internal organisational matter, as various factors beyond the formal boundary of an organisation may be at least equally influential in an organisation’s survival. In this study, society, which includes the local community and its socio-cultural elements, is recognised as one of the main external stakeholders of an organisation (see the conceptual framework in Figure 1, on p. 7). Aside from society, organisations are linked to ecological systems that provide natural resources as another form of capital. As Section 3.5.13 shows, one of the most important limitations of the Balanced Scorecard model is that it does not integrate socio-cultural dimensions into its conceptual framework (Voelpel et al., 2006:51). The model’s perspectives do not explicitly address issues such as the society or the community within which an organisation operates. In an African framework, taking into account the local socio-cultural dimensions is critical for organisational performance and the ultimate success of an organisation. Hence, it is necessary to review this component of corporate performance critically before effecting any measures, such as redesigning the generic Balanced Scorecard model. This chapter examines the first set of humanist performance systems, as shown in Figure 11, overleaf.

  • 2001 Lecture
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society.

Its source materials are numerous archival collections, newspapers and over 40 personal interviews. This study addresses two questions relating to F.W. de Klerk's use of the referendum mechanism in 1992. The first is why he used the mechanism, highlighting its role in the context of the early stages of his quest for a managed transition.

  • One Nation, One Beer: the Mythology of the New South Africa in Advertising
    1 ONE NATION, ONE BEER: THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE NEW SOUTH AFRICA IN ADVERTISING A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Sarah Britten 2 I declare that this is my own unaided work. It is in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any other degree or examination or to any other university. ________________ Sarah Britten 27 October 2005 The University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 3 Acknowledgements Since I started on this thesis, I have worked at four jobs (one in PR, three in advertising), dated two boyfriends (one of them a professional psychic), published two novels for young adult readers, endured two car accidents (neither of them my fault), rescued two feral cats and married one husband. I ha ve lost count of the nervous breakdowns I was convinced were immanent or the Sunday evenings I spent wracked with guilt over my failure to put in enough work on the thesis over the weekend. When I started on this project in June 1998, I was a full time student wafting about without any apparent purpose in life. Now that I am finally putting this magnum opus to bed, I find that I have turned into a corporate animal saddled with car payments and timesheets and stress over PowerPoint presentations. “Get your PhD out of the way before you get married and have kids,” my elders told me.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings
    Black Peril, White Fear – Representations of Violence and Race in South Africa’s English Press, 1976-2002, and Their Influence on Public Opinion Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Christine Ullmann Institut für Völkerkunde Universität zu Köln Köln, Mai 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented here is the result of years of research, writing, re-writing and editing. It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.

  • Sweepslag Oktober 2014
    JAARGANG 1 UITGAWE 6 OKTOBER 2014 REBELLIE HERDENKING 20 SEPTEMBER 2014 Op 20 September 2014 het die AWB die Rebellie van 1914 gevier. Op hierdie koue Saterdagoggend is daar by die Kommandosaal te Coligny bymekaargekom om die brawe burgers, soos Genl. Koos De la Rey, se opstand teen die Britse oproep om saam met hulle die wapen op te neem teen Duitsland, te herdenk. Die gasheer van die dag was Brigadier Piet Breytenbach van die Diamantstreek wat saam met sy mense arriveer het met ’n perdekommando. Na ’n kort verwelkoming van Brig. Piet is die eerste gasspreker, Mnr. Paul Kruger van die Volksraad, aan die woord gestel. Na sy treffende boodskap is almal vermaak deur ’n uitmuntende tablo wat deur Brig. Piet en sy mense van die Diamantstreek aangebied is. Die tablo is geneem uit die verhoogstuk "Ons vir jou Suid-Afrika" en is briljant aangebied - almal was selfs aangetrek in histories-korrekte uitrustings! Na die boodskap van Mnr. Frans Jooste van die Kommandokorps is die oggend by Coligny afgesluit met die sing van "Die lied van jong Suid-Afrika" en almal het na Lichtenburg vertrek vir die verrigtinge daar. Daar is bymekaargekom by die standbeeld van Genl. De la Rey waar almal, te midde van groot belangstelling van die plaaslike bevolking, met trots die aankoms van die ossewa by die standbeeld toegekyk het. Na ’n kranslegging deur die Leier, Mnr. Steyn von Rönge, die sprekers en lede van die publiek, is Professor A.W.G. Raath aan die woord gestel om almal bietjie meer van die geskiedenis van die Rebellie te vertel.
