  • Introduction Th E Years Before
    Introduction Th e Years Before I was supposed to be a man by the time I turned 21, by anyone’s reckoning. By the apartheid regime’s reckoning, I was also old enough to be tortured. Looking back, I can recognize the boy I was. Th e eldest of my grandchildren is now approaching this age, and I would never want to see her or the others – or indeed anyone else – having to face any such ordeal. At the time my home was in Johannesburg, only some thirty miles from Pretoria, where I was thrown into a world that few would believe existed, populated by creatures from the darkest places, creatures of the night, some in uniform. I was there for fi fty-fi ve days, and never went home again. Th is Introduction has been written with the support and participation of my brothers and sister. We had an eventful and curious childhood, which was capped by my detention. We were all aff ected by the events described below, and our bonds continue to see us through. I start with my father’s father Harry, our grandfather whom we knew as Oupa. His stories went back to his youth in Lithuania, nearly as far back in his life as the story of imprisonment reaches in mine. We loved his stories. Th ey were recounted in a Yiddish accent in a deep, slow voice, and were given in great deliberation with big hand gestures for emphasis. On the margins of memory, and confi rmed by family photographs that remain a delight, was the experience of my brother Colin and me being scooped up by him, and each of us put on one of his big knees.

  • Unified by the Murder of Three Young Israeli Boys
    June 12 2015 / 25 Sivan 5775 Volume 19 – Number 21 In death, 3 south african Israeli boys unify Jews worldwide. Page 2. Jewish Report www.sajr.co.za Photo: Ilan Ossendryver Photo: Unified by the murder of three young Israeli boys A year ago, on June 3, 2014, Jews in Israel and all over the world frantically searched or prayed for three young Israeli boys abducted near Gush Etzion by Palestinian terrorists. Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Sher and Naftali Frenkel, alas, were murdered on the same day they disappeared. The Jewish world reeled with shock and seethed with anger. This senseless deed, so cynical in its horror, took on a surreal aspect. Then the mothers of the three made a request: Every year, on the yahrzeit of their boys’ death, let Jews all over the world come together in a gesture of unity. This remembrance has become known as “Unity Day”. Last week Wednesday evening, thousands gathered in Johannesburg as well as in Umhlanga on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, part of events held in 19 countries and over 30 cities worldwide, to “stand in unity”. Jewish day schools in South Africa actively took part in this remembrance and in Johannesburg gathered at Yeshiva College. Among the speakers was Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein who said the Jewish reaction to the murders should be to implement the core Torah values of kindness, respect and charity in their daily behaviour. Pictured at the Yeshiva College gathering are five head boys at Johannesburg Jewish day schools: Daniel Riesenburg, Yeshiva College; Justin Glass, Hirsch Lyons; Meir Rosendorff, Torah Academy; Yossi Bank, King David High Victory Park; and Jake Gore, King David High Linksfield.

  • Augustus 2012 Dagsê Al Die Belangstellendes in Die Geskiedenis Van Ou Pretoria
    Augustus 2012 Dagsê al die belangstellendes in die geskiedenis van ou Pretoria, Regstelling Jammer vir die fout in verlede maand se brief. ‘n Hele paar oplettende mense het dit raakgesien en my laat weet. Baie dankie. Die volgende van Prof. Andreas van Wyk: Moskou was en is nog altyd Moskou (Moskwa). Sint Petersburg, in die 17de eeu gestig deur Tsaar Pieter die Grote en ‘n duisend kilometer wes van Moskou, het wel in die 1920’s Leningrad geword en toe in die 1990’s weer Sint Petersburg (of soos sommige Suid-Afrikaners nou spot: Sint Polokwane). Nog ‘n beskrywing van Pretoria [sien ook Mei/Junie 2012 se brief] You might be interested in the following description of Pretoria written by my great great uncle, Frank Oates, in the book "Matabeleland and the Victoria Falls", edited by C.G. Oates (1881). This book is today a very valuable piece of Africana! This description was written in June 1873. "There are orange-trees with fruit on them in the gardens, and high hedges of monthly roses in flower; there are also a few large trees (blue gums), something like poplars in mode of growth, but with dark foliage. These are planted here, for the country does not seem to bear much timber naturally. Here in Pretoria are a great many English. The English keep stores; the Dutch Boers stick to farming. The latter come in with their wagons of grain, wood, and other produce, which is sold by auction at 8 a.m. in the market place. "Mielies" (unground Indian corn) fetch fifteen shillings a muid, which is about 200 pounds.

  • GLM Study Trip 2017
    JOHANNESBURG GLM Study Trip 2017 EDITORIAL NOTE It is the tale not of two cities, but one, with fragmented realities under the bright sun. City of Gold, City of Apartheid or City of Africa, Johannesburg has many names. The city’s constant evolution renewed by time and struggle has opened our eyes to the weight of imagining and crafting the city. Imagine. The top floor of the tallest building in Africa. A view that reveals the tentacular expansion of the city in its sur- roundings, simultaneously reminding us of previous temporalities, almost as a visualisation of history. To the South-West, we could see remnants of the gold mines, the economy on which the city was built in the 19th century. To the North, we could admire the perspective of the Gauteng’s expansion, as it moved closer towards Pretoria. And in-between, the sprawl. But not any sprawl. An eclectic juxtaposition of layers of urbanisation that are striking to the eye. New high-rises towered next to small, run-down buildings tinted with a thin layer of dust and a feeling of abandon. However, from the top the 223 meters high Tower of Africa, many facets of the city remain hidden. One could not see the social divides that run deep in the fabric of the city, as Soweto, Diepsloot, and other townships cannot be seen from so far away. Entrenched in colonial and industrial foundations, developed and divided by racial laws, Johannesburg adorns many scars of its past. At the metropolitan scale, the city of Johannesburg wants to overcome its racial urban history and mend the spatial divides.Yet, inequalities at the micro scale remain strong.

  • By Melissa Romy Levin, 2017
    Unimagined Communities: Post-Apartheid Nation-Building, Memory and Institutional Change in South Africa (1990-2010) by Melissa Romy Levin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Melissa Romy Levin, 2017 Unimagined Communities: Post-Apartheid Nation-Building, Memory and Institutional Change in South Africa (1990 – 2010) Melissa Romy Levin Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2017 ii Abstract Studies of nationalism and nation-states insist that the construction of usable pasts is central to the creation of national solidarities and the very identity of a nation. The memory/nation nexus is taken for granted in scholarship on nation-building. However, this scholarship is limited by the scant attention that is paid to how those pasts are constructed, or what the mechanisms are through which decision-making occurs. The results of this neglect are often abstracted assumptions that presume a voluntarism and coherence that most often does not exist. Repeatedly, studies focus on the products of memorialization which generates a tendency to impose consistency and statist intentionality, after the fact, on what is a contingent, messy and complicated process. In addition, studies often assume a singularity of power, located in an unfragmented state, with authoritarian capacity to produce meaning. This dissertation remedies these flaws by paying attention to the processes and procedures through which memorialization and nation-building are constructed. It focuses specifically on post-Apartheid South Africa where these processes are currently unfolding. It examines the context of South Africa’s transition, which has produced multiple continuities with and changes from Apartheid institutions.
