Such a camp, with its modest buildings and facilities, would capture the spirit of commitment and sacrifice required of freedom fighters who had to train and survive with minimal resources far from home. They shared the concept with the MK Veterans Associations at the provincial and national levels, and received their endorsements. The project secured the support of the Amathole District Municipality, which in turn appointed the Human Science Research Council as project implementers. The military veterans identified this project as one which would benefit both themselves and the wider public. The facility will serve a triple function of informing the general public about this aspect of South Africa’s liberation struggle, providing facilities which upgrade the quality of life of a local low-income community and creating jobs for MK veterans and community members. It requires a site which includes natural forest areas, is close enough to a needy community to engage meaningfully with it and is readily accessible for tourists. The activities envisaged as part of the living museum complex are designed to make it fully sustainable in the medium term future. It was envisaged that all aspects of the living history museum would be developed from the collection of memories from former MK soldiers and the collection of memorabilia and artifacts from actual camps. As the project unfolded, however, veterans of the military wings of the other main liberation movements, the Azanian Peoples Liberation Struggle (APLA) and the Azanian National Liberation Army (AZANLA), were drawn in. The envisaged Armed Struggle Living Museum would thus include replicated camps of these organisations as well. However, in order to develop the concept of the museum it became necessary to draw on the memories of those who had lived in the military camps of the liberation movements to get an idea of the buildings and facilities in these camps, as well as daily routines and experiences of life in them. Part of the research carried out to meet this objective is contained in this report. The focus of the research report After the banning of the African National Congress (ANC) and Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) of South Africa on the 8th April 1960, the two nationalist movements were forced to operate 1 underground. The bannings occurred in the aftermath of the PAC’s anti-pass campaign and the Sharpeville Massacre on the 21st March, the country-wide strike that followed, and the declaration of a state of emergency. Thousands of activists were arrested and detained in the ensuing months. Just prior to the banning, the PAC sent Peter Molotsi and Nana Mahomo abroad to establish relationships with, and obtain support from African countries. The ANC’s Deputy President, Oliver Tambo followed a few days later. Tambo’s task was to solicit international support for the struggle against apartheid. The bannings and wave of mass arrests that followed forced the two nationalist movements to consider turning to armed struggle. The decision to turn to armed struggle was taken by the ANC in mid-1961, and during the following months recruitment and training preceded the launch of the ANC’s military wing, UMkhonto we Sizwe, on the 16th December 1961.1 For the next two years, until the arrests of the MK leadership at Lilliesleaf Farm in early 1963, MK members embarked on a wave of sabotage actions. The Sharpeville massacre and banning of political organizations were also turning points for the PAC. In the aftermath of the banning, according to Thami ka Plaatjie, the PAC took a decision in 1961 to revive the Africanist Task Force, a para-military structure formed just prior to the 1960 anti-pass campaign which was to be the forerunner of the PAC’s military wing, Poqo.2 Poqo members were to engage in numerous violent actions, which included attacks on white civilians. Both movements began a process of training young recruits inside the country, as well as sending a select few abroad for military training. However, the explosion in militant action during this period sparked a violent and repressive reaction on the part of the apartheid regime. Scores of young people were forced to leave the country to join those political leaders of the two revolutionary movements who had gone into exile. In response to the new conditions of exile, the two movements established military bases and camps to train and accommodate the increasing number of new recruits joining their military wings. This report focuses on one aspect of the exile history of the liberation movements that has been poorly researched: i.e., life in their military bases and camps both inside the country and in exile. The study focuses on four broad themes. In the first, the focus is on the bases or camps used by the ANC and PAC to train their cadres inside the country immediately after the turn to armed struggle in the early 1960s. The second theme deals with the ‘freedom route’ taken by cadres of the liberation movement in the course of their journey into exile. Distinction is drawn between the routes taken by cadres of the different liberation movements during a particular historical period. The objective here is to outline some of the main camps of the liberation movements abroad, whether they were transit camps, military bases or camps used for the training of cadres. 1 For a discussion of the processes leading to the ANC’s decision to turn to armed struggle refer to B.

  • 135 Newcontree the Birth of Umkhonto We Sizwe: Old And
    NEWCONTREE 135 THE BIRTH OF UMKHONTO WE SIZWE: OLD AND NEW SOURCES Vladimir Shubin (Institute for African Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences) The history of the South African liberation movement is still to be written. Academic books and articles published so far left too many of its pages blank or contain information which can't withstand a scrutiny. Among the bibliographies on the anti-apartheid struggle Peter Limb's "The ANC and the Black Workers in South Africa, 1912-1992" should be singled out as well as books by Thomas Karis and Gail Gerhart. However, no special bibliography on "Umkhonto we Sizwe" (MK) has been compiled so far except for an introductory bibliography prepared by Sandi Ie Schalk and the author for the Conference on the Beginnings of the Armed Struggle in South Africa convened in December 1995 by the Mayibuye Centre for History and Culture at the University of the Western Cape. Who took a decision and when? The early history of MK is a subject to controversy. The question of when and how the decision was taken is a subject of debate among academics. Naturally nobody knew this better that the participants themselves but even the evidence of those who participated in the events directly is somewhat contradictory. The possibility of using an armed form of struggle was discussed in Congress Alliance and communist circles immediately after the Sharpeville massacre in March 1960 if not before. The mood was growing that under repressive conditions a position of non- violence was becoming more and more irrelevant. Some people even called it treacherous.

  • SOLOMON MAHLANGU FREEDOM COLLEGE: a Unique South African Educational Experience in Tanzania
    ARTICLE SOLOMON MAHLANGU FREEDOM COLLEGE: A Unique South African Educational Experience In Tanzania Pethu Serote Introduction On the 9th July 1992, the African National Congress (ANC) handed over its educational institutions in Tanzania to the Tanzanian goverment in a ceremony officiated over by OR Tambo for the ANC and President Hassan Mwinyi for the Tanzanian government. In this article, I'd like to look briefly at these ANC educa- tional projects in Morogoro, Tanzania. My focus will be broadly their nature and the problems that impacted on their development in the ten years between 1979-1989. I would like to acknowledge the limitations of a study of this nature in such a short presentation. These events were taking place in Tanzania and most of the documen- tation needed to make the study complete is in the process of being transferred to South Africa and this has in some way limited it to whatever documents are available to the author in South Africa and to her personal experiences as a secondary school teacher and later head of adult education division in SOMAFCO from 1983 and 1990. Although this article is about two educational project of the ANC in Tanzania, Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (SOMAFCO), and the ANC Development Centre, I have chosen SOMAFCO for the title because that was the original project and the name has also become famous in South Africa and abroad. The Establishment of SOMAFCO and the ANC Development Centre SOMAFCO was the ANC school in Morogoro, Tanzania. It was built on a 250ha piece of land in Mazimbu, an old sisal farm which the Tanzanian government gave to the ANC for this purpose.

Mupotsa Introduction In this essay, I reflect on the 2015 and early 2016 student activism at the Uni- versity of the Witwatersrand, in the context of a national movement in South Africa. I am particularly interested in questions of form, narrative and aesthet- ics. Many of the acts of protest have been circulated through digital technolo- gies offering a wide audience access to the events through spectacular images. These events have also been assembled and articulated through specific kinds of form, such as the autobiographical – where students invoke the category ‘I’ to articulate aspects of private life that animate their moves against structural injustices. I read these various animations of ‘the political’ in the same register that I read the novel, A Question of Power by Bessie Head (1974). While I do not offer a close textual reading of the novel, I propose that we read the various scenes of refusal animated by these students through an autobiographical lens that, like Head’s novel, offers us a splintered category of ‘I’ that both demands a politics of recognition while simultaneously refusing and disrupting the pos- sibilities of that very wish. Bessie Head’s (1974) partly autobiographical account stays with me be- cause of the ways a range of spectacular structural injustices are narrativized through a powerful dialogue between the public and the private.

    YUSUF MOHAMED DADOO SOUTH AFRICA'S FREEDOM STRUGGLE Statements, Speeches and Articles including Correspondence with Mahatma Gandhi Compiled and edited by E. S. Reddy With a foreword by Shri R. Venkataraman President of India Namedia Foundation STERLING PUBLISHERS PRIVATE LIMITED New Delhi, 1990 [NOTE: A revised and expanded edition of this book was published in South Africa in 1991 jointly by Madiba Publishers, Durban, and UWC Historical and Cultural Centre, Bellville. The South African edition was edited by Prof. Fatima Meer. The present version includes items additional to that in the two printed editions.] FOREWORD TO THE INDIAN EDITION The South African struggle against apartheid occupies a cherished place in our hearts. This is not just because the Father of our Nation commenced his political career in South Africa and forged the instrument of Satyagraha in that country but because successive generations of Indians settled in South Africa have continued the resistance to racial oppression. Hailing from different parts of the Indian sub- continent and professing the different faiths of India, they have offered consistent solidarity and participation in the heroic fight of the people of South Africa for liberation. Among these brave Indians, the name of Dr. Yusuf Mohamed Dadoo is specially remembered for his remarkable achievements in bringing together the Indian community of South Africa with the African majority, in the latter's struggle against racism. Dr. Dadoo met Gandhiji in India and was in correspondence with him during a decisive phase of the struggle in South Africa. And Dr. Dadoo later became an esteemed colleague of the outstanding South African leader, Nelson Mandela.

  • Jacob Zuma: the Man of the Moment Or the Man for the Moment? Alex Michael & James Montagu
    Research & Assessment Branch African Series Jacob Zuma: The Man of the Moment or the Man for the Moment? Alex Michael & James Montagu 09/08 Jacob Zuma: The Man of the Moment or the Man for the Moment? Alex Michael & James Montagu Key Findings • Zuma is a pragmatist, forging alliances based on necessity rather than ideology. His enlarged but inclusive cabinet, rewards key allies with significant positions, giving minor roles to the leftist SACP and COSATU. • Long-term ANC allies now hold key Justice, Police and State Security ministerial positions, reducing the likelihood of legal charges against him resurfacing. • The blurring of party and state to the detriment of public institutions, which began under Mbeki, looks set to continue under Zuma. • Zuma realises that South Africa relies too heavily on foreign investment, but no real change in economic policy could well alienate much of his populist support base and be decisive in the longer term. 09/08 Jacob Zuma: The Man of the Moment or the Man for the Moment? Alex Michael & James Montagu INTRODUCTION Jacob Zuma, the new President of the Republic of South Africa and the African National Congress (ANC), is a man who divides opinion. He has been described by different groups as the next Mandela and the next Mugabe. He is a former goatherd from what is now called KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) with no formal education and a long career in the ANC, which included a 10 year spell at Robben Island and 14 years of exile in Mozambique, Swaziland and Zambia. Like most ANC leaders, his record is not a clean one and his role in identifying and eliminating government spies within the ranks of the ANC is well documented.
