De Klerk, the list of atrocities goes on and on. You all know the statistics -nearly 8,000 people dead since the "reformist" De Klerk began his bloody reign of terror, with tens of thousands more wounded. driven from their homes, gripped by hopelessness and fear. For months the white minority regime, aided and abetted by a willing Western press, passed off this concerted attack on the freedom movement as "Black on Black Violence." Now, with hard evidence of government complicity in the violence mounting, ihe misinfoi mers are trying a new tactic-blaming the victim. Increasingly, it is the ANC which is being blamed for the massacre in Ciskei. The movement, so the argument goes, knew full well that Pretoria's bantustan surrogate, Oupa Gqozo, would turn his apartheid-armed, led and financed army on the marchers, and should have called off the protest. According to this distorted logic, Black persons daring to exercise their right of peaceful assembly and protest have only themselves to blame if soldiers under the command of a South African Defence Force Brigadier mow them down without warning with machine guns. The ANC, said apartheid police minister Hernus Kriel, "had fair warnirg," of the massacre, and was therefore at fault. State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters in Washington that, "those who prompted the demonstration should carefully reconsider future actions...that expose innocent supporters to violence." Yet Mr. Boucher offered no such advice to democracy protesters in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia or Rumania. I urge you to contact both George Bush and Bill Clinton and urge therm to speak out publ-cly against the continuing slaughter in South Africa. Ask them to demand the immediate resignation of F.W. De Klerk and his white minority government, the dismantling of the bantustan system and installation of an interim government of national unity to guide South Africa to democracy. Ask them to do eveiything in their power to STOP APARTHEID'S VIOLENCE and support the people in their struggle for one-person, one-vote democracy in a unified non-racial, non-sexist South Africa.

LeMelle, Chairman Jennifer Davis, Executive Director NEW YORK TIMES INTERNATIONAL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1992 Democracy vs. Dictator in Apartheid's 'Homeland By BILL KELLER Special to The New York Times BISHO, South Africa, Sept. 9 - The make-believe country of Ciskei has a shiny "international" airport capable of landing a Boeing 747, in case one ever attempts to visit this curious figment of apartheid. It has 846,000 inhabitants who were not consulted in 1981 when they were stripped of their South African citizenship and gerrymandered into one of 10 tribal homelands to protect white control of the wealthy remainder of the. country.. Ciskei has a foreign service with a single ambassadorial posting, to the only country that recognizes its sovereignty, South Africa. It has its capital here, a miniature pastel metropolis with a three-block downtown, a hotel-casino complex where South Africans can enjoy the blackjack tables forbidden a mile away in their own country, and high-walled' compounds where government ministers and business executives dwell in luxurious isolation from Ciskei's wretched poverty. It has its own development bank, its own army and its own diminutive military dictator, Brigadier Oupa J. Gqozo, who boils with rage -when he is ridiSculed as a puppet of South Africa. "I need some help to make the world realize that I am a very serious leader," Brigadier Gqozo pleaded during an interview last Friday. Three days later his army fired a seemingly interminable machine-gun fusillade at protesters marching on his capital, killing at least 28 and convincing many that if he. is not a serious leader, he is at least part of a serious problem. ' Having manufactured these mockstates, entrenched their rulers in positions of power and small-time luxury and employed them as surrogates to divide the black political opposition, South Africa now seeks to undo the experiment by reunifying its territory. South Africa is struggling to fit homelands like Ciskei, where at least 28 people were killed Monday, into the eventual post-apartheid order.

  • BOIPATONG by Dave Steward, Chairman of the FW De Klerk Foundation
    BOIPATONG By Dave Steward, Chairman of the FW de Klerk Foundation On 17 June the EFF issued a statement to mark the 28th anniversary of the Boipatong massacre. It stated that the massacre had been orchestrated by “an Apartheid government led by FW de Klerk” who had “funded and supported the massacre in order to undermine negotiations…” I remember Boipatong. I was at the time head of the South African Communication Service (SACS). On 18 June I woke to the news of the awful event in which 45 residents of the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Boipatong had been brutally murdered. Boipatong was egregious ‐ even by the violent standards of the times. Women and babies were among the victims who were mercilessly hacked and stabbed to death. President De Klerk decided that he would visit the community to express his condolences to bereaved families the following Saturday ‐ 20 June. I was disturbed to hear an announcement of the visit on the SABC on Friday evening ‐ because it was not our practice to provide advance notice of visits to potentially sensitive areas. Our party assembled under the eggshell blue skies of a highveld winter at a police depot about 5 kms from Boipatong. SACS had made arrangements to transport members of the local and international media who wished to cover the event. We all climbed into an ancient bus and followed the presidential motorcade on its route to Boipatong. As we approached the township from the north‐ west, it became clear that my concerns about the early announcement of the visit were ominously warranted.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 9, No 2, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) THE NEXUS OF FOOD AND HOUSING INSECURITY IN SOUTH AFRICA: THE CASE OF BOPHELONG AND SHARPEVILLE TOWNSHIPS Steven Henry Dunga North West University, South Africa [email protected] WCJ Grobler, North West University, South Africa [email protected] Abstract Considered a human right, housing and food security can be viewed as basic to what defines an individual’s well-being and is enshrined in the South African Constitution. In any country, affordable housing and food security are central to development to ensure an adequate healthy lifestyle. What makes the link between housing and food security important is that in a household with inadequate resources, housing and food security can be in a competing relationship and may even involve a trade-off between each other. Furthermore, food insecurity and housing insecurity are important components in poverty reduction policies. In this study, a random sample of 600 households was taken based on a quantitative research method. Two low income neighbourhoods were selected in the Emfuleni Municipal area in Southern Gauteng, South Africa. The relationship between food insecurity and housing insecurity was analysed using different statistical techniques. To measure food insecurity the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) developed by the African Food Security Urban Network (AFSUN) was used, while a housing security measurement scale was developed. The research found that a trade-off exists between housing and food security and, in many cases, food insecurity and housing insecurity exist at the same time.

  • Death in Boipatong
    DEATH IN BOIPATONG The Dead ofBoipatong More than forty people were massacred at Boipatong on Wednesday 17 June. Men, women and children, and even those in their mother's womb were hack­ ed to death. Life, which hitherto offered only suffering, was snuffed out by men so low, that they could only attack at the dead of night when the shadows concealed their identity. Even though the evidence is hidden and might never be established there is little doubt about who is guilty. This killing must be laid at the door of the Intelligence Department and their allies in the Inkatha Freedom Party. It is clearly the work of men who are out to destabilize the townships, destroy all movements of opposition and reimpose the state of emergency. Addressing this issue, John Carlin said in The Independent (24 June 1992): In Boipatong, as in the majority of other massacres, the people who actually do the killing are blacks linked to the Inkatha Freedom Party...Those who direct them are whites operating within the intelligence structures of the police and army. The only issue in doubt is how high up does the authority come from? Does it stop at the 'securocrats', the generals and colonels who effectively ran the country during the Eighties? Or does it go right up to F W de Klerk, as Nelson Mandela claims? These questions have not been conclusively answered. The argument that this event was the result of previous shootings in the area is beside the point. The townships and squatter camps are witness to violence and murders week after week.

  • The Vaal River Inquiry Provisional Report
    Final Report of the Gauteng Provincial Inquiry Into the Sewage Problem of the Vaal River 17 February 2021 The Vaal Report Executive Summary The South African Human Rights Commission (‘the Commission’) had been alerted to online and print media reports, published during July and August 2018, reporting that raw sewage, from the Emfuleni Local Municipality (‘the Municipality’)’s Rietspruit Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vanderbijlpark, the Leewkuil Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vereeniging and other areas within the Municipality, had for weeks and months been leaking into and polluting the Vaal River and the Rietspruit. In addition to the raw sewage polluting major and essential bodies of water, the media reports stated, amongst other things, that: the main sewers in Vanderbijlpark were blocked and that raw sewerage was flowing into people’s yards and properties. In September 2018, in order to test the veracity of the media reports, the Commission’s Gauteng Provincial Office conducted an inspection-in-loco at certain sites within the Emfuleni Municipality, and observed: raw sewage flowing in a small stream that cut across the Emfuleni Golf Estate; two burst sewerage pipes on the banks of the Rietspruit that runs through the Emfuleni Municipal area; defective bio-filters at the Rietspruit Waste Water Treatment Works; a clogged sewerage manhole at the Sharpeville Cemetery and children swimming in, and consuming, polluted waters in the area of a school. Having established a prima facie violation of human rights in the Emfuleni Municipality, regarding the flowing of raw, untreated sewage flowing in the streets, homes, graveyards and also flowing into the Vaal River, the Dam, the Barrage and the Rietspruit (referred to collectively as ‘the Vaal’), and acting within its legislative mandate, the Commission established an Inquiry.

    Vote 7: Local Government and Housing VOTE 7 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND HOUSING Infrastructure to be appropriated R4 058 777 000 Responsible MEC MEC for Local Government and Housing Administering department Department of Local Government and Housing Accounting officer Head of Department 1. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME Strategic Overview There has been a shift in focus from the provision of housing to the establishment of sustainable human settlements due to the fact that previous policies to address housing did not adequately address the housing needs within the context of the brooder socio-economic needs of communities. In an effort to address this inconsistency gap, Cabinet approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Human Settlements in 2004 which provides the framework to address housing needs within the context of broader socio-economic needs resulting in sustainable human settlements. The Comprehensive Plan is supplemented by the following business plans, which in turn informs the department’s infrastructure programme: • Stimulating the Residential Property Market; • Spatial Restructuring and Sustainable Human Settlements; • Social (Medium-Density) Housing Programme; • Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme; • Institutional Reform and Capacity Building; • Housing Subsidy Funding System Reforms; and • Housing and Job Creation. The following functional areas have been identified as the basis for the roll out of the infrastructure programme: • Service Delivery and Development Targets – the department will accelerate its current programmes of Mixed Housing Developments, Eradication of Informal Settlements, Alternative Tenure, Rural Housing, Urban Renewal Programme and the 20 Prioritised Township Programme to address historical backlogs in basic services, housing and infrastructure. • Capacity Building and Hands on Support – the department will strengthen its support to municipalities to ensure that the municipal capacity to deliver basic service is achieved and service delivery is realised.

  • Water Consumption Levels in Selected South African Cities
    WATER CONSUMPTION LEVELS IN SELECTED SOUTH AFRICAN CITIES Report to the Water Research Commission by HJ van Zyl, JE van Zyl, L Geustyn, A Ilemobade and JS Buckle University of Johannesburg, University of the Witwatersrand and Rand Water WRC Report No 1536/1/06 ISBN 978-1-77005-480-6 NOVEMBER 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Introduction The expansion of urban areas, the continuing development taking place in South Africa and the constant need for potable water services have created a requirement for more accurate water demand estimates. Inaccurate estimates lead to a deficiency in basic design information that could lead to inadequate service provision or inequitable water distribution. In response, this study was initiated to determine actual water demands, investigate various parameters affecting these demands and, where possible, quantify these factors. 2. Literature review An extensive literature review was undertaken of publications and guidelines of water demand in South Africa. The following findings emanated from this exercise: i. The most significant parameters that affect domestic water demand are stand area, household income, water price, available pressure, type of development (suburban vs. township) and climate. ii. Some work has been done on the influence of climate. The study by Van Vuuren and Van Beek (1997) presented interesting findings regarding the combined effect of climate and income but was limited to the Pretoria supply area (one climatic region) and did not consider typical low income developments.
