Ukzntouch2017.Pdf ABOUT THE ARTIST: The front cover of this edition of UKZNTOUCH features the artwork of celebrated artist and UKZN alumnus, Hussein Salim. Salim was born in Karima, Sudan in 1966 and graduated from the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum in 1994. In 2006 he obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Arts at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He currently resides in Pietermaritzburg. Salim’s richly textured canvases employ an extravagant layering technique to create a dense impasto feel. He uses personal symbolism that is at once ancient as it is contemporary. Salim’s paintings are a dialogue between different cultures and represent his strong feeling that art should be used as a tool to help initiate such dialogue. His Sudanese background, and the fact that his home country is a melting pot of diverse African cultures, further strengthens his work. Through his paintings, Salim awakens in us an appreciation of our differences and diverse reactions, but then brings us back to the shared foundation of mankind. His work thus identifies with any struggle that challenges dimensional predominance, be it economic, religious or cultural. Salim is represented in major national collections within Africa, Europe and the United States.

UKZNTOUCH // 1 FOREWORD I n an interview with Gregory Dardagan, Vice- Chancellor and Principal of the University of KwaZulu-Natal Dr Albert van Jaarsveld spells out what it means to move away from the notion of the University as an ‘ivory tower’. new strategy recently approved by the Council of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) A clearly identifies that it does not want to be an ivory tower institution. Instead the stated goal is to be a university plugged into a wide variety of communities, responding to the needs and requirements of the business, and public and private sectors. If it does not do this, it will have failed miserably. Van Jaarsveld emphasised that the goals still include trailblazing research. “We want to be firmly rooted in our community while at the same time reaching for the stars in terms of what we aim to achieve.” Van Jaarsveld, who has been involved in Higher Education in South Africa as an academic and an executive for the past 20 years, spelled out his hopes and dreams for UKZN, which he has headed for almost three years. “Universities need to stay relevant, they need to stay on their toes, and they need to stay responsive to what is happening in the wide world out there. Remaining sealed in a cocoon believing they can do things in isolation and then transfer the benefits to society is an old fashioned view. Universities have to become part of how society works and operates.” Van Jaarsveld said when he arrived at UKZN from the National Research Foundation in Pretoria where he served as Chief Executive Officer, he made it clear that he wanted to introduce a “people’s strategy” to allow the University to become a Higher Education Institution of choice for students and staff. That was at the heart of his vision, which also included maintaining and Dr Albert van Jaarsveld Vice-Chancellor and Principal ROOTED IN THE COMMUNITY AND AIMING FOR THE STARS growing research eminence and a high profile in national and maintaining scientific and research excellence and vigour international communities. and being a leader in fields of research including HIV and AIDS, Tuberculosis, Engineering, Physical Sciences, Quantum “I want to make sure that UKZN is a recognised African research Computing and the Humanities as well as its reputation for intensive university – it simply has to be that otherwise we will innovation driven by research. have no profile to speak of.

  • Inter-Race Soccer and the 1960 Riots in Durban, South Africa
    Historia 59, 2, November 2014, pp 326-343 Inter-race soccer and the 1960 riots in Durban, South Africa Mphumeleli Ngidi* Introduction Sport has historically been segregated in South Africa because prior to 1994 its rulers, believing in a natural supremacy of whites, prohibited non-racial sports.1 South Africa’s citizens had differential access to resources and for most of the country’s history only white South Africans could represent the national team. The “beautiful game”, as soccer is known by most aficionados, is no exception. Black South Africans experienced decades of disadvantage. One difference from sports like rugby and cricket is that (white) South Africa was banned from international soccer for a much longer period mainly because of the large number of Third World, including African, countries involved in the game.2 On 30 September 1951 an important milestone was reached in the annals of black soccer in South Africa when three racial bodies, namely, the South African African Football Association (SAAFA), the South African Coloured Football Association (SACFA) and the South African Indian Football Association (SAIFA) formed the South African Soccer Federation (SASF) to further the interests of black football in a context in which the grip of apartheid was tightening following the victory of the National Party (NP) in 1948. This minority government implemented the policy of apartheid which attempted to separate South Africans along racial lines in all walks of life.3 A.I. Kajee, an eminent Indian businessman and Natal Indian Congress (NIC) politician from Durban, “donated a £500 (around R35, 000 today) trophy to SASF for a biennial competition, organised since 1952, between African, Coloured and Indian “national teams”.4 * Mphumeleli Ngidi is a PhD student in the Department of History, University of KwaZulu- Natal.

  • Diasporic Imaginaries: Memory and Negotiation of Belonging in East African and South African Indian Narratives
    DIASPORIC IMAGINARIES: MEMORY AND NEGOTIATION OF BELONGING IN EAST AFRICAN AND SOUTH AFRICAN INDIAN NARRATIVES by James Ocita Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Meg Samuelson, Department of English Co-supervisor: Dr. Tina Steiner, Department of English March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii Declaration By submitting this dissertation, I declare that the entirety of the work contained herein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores selected Indian narratives that emerge in South Africa and East Africa between 1960 and 2010, focusing on representations of migrations from the late 19th century, with the entrenchment of mercantile capitalism, to the early 21st century entry of immigrants into the metropolises of Europe, the US and Canada as part of the post-1960s upsurge in global migrations. The (post-)colonial and imperial sites that these narratives straddle re-echo Vijay Mishra‘s reading of Indian diasporic narratives as two autonomous archives designated by the terms, "old" and "new" diasporas. The study underscores the role of memory both in quests for legitimation and in making sense of Indian marginality in diasporic sites across the continent and in the global north, drawing together South Asia, Africa and the global north as continuous fields of analysis.

  • The Growth of Feminist Themes from Anti-Apartheid to the Present
    Ghent University Department African Languages and Cultures Academic Year 2015-2016 The Growth of Feminist Themes from Anti-Apartheid to the Present Using the Autobiographical Work of Three Female Writers: Ellen Kuzwayo, Sindiwe Magona and Pregs Govender Supervisor: Dr. Annelies Verdoolaege (African Languages and Cultures, Ghent University) Co-supervisor: Prof. Yves T’Sjoen (Department of Literary Studies, Ghent University) Master thesis, submitted to achieve the degree of Master in African Languages and Cultures by CAITLIN SABBE 2 Preface First of all, I wish to thank professor Desiree Lewis, whose insights regarding gender studies in South Africa were invaluable. Furthermore, she has taught literary studies as well at different universities and already did some research regarding autobiographical work of South African women. Without her knowledge of literary and popular culture, global feminist knowledges and politics and postcolonial writing and culture, I would not have been able to define the different theories I needed to analyse the autobiographies of Ellen Kuzwayo, Sindiwe Magona and Pregs Govender. She handed me a starting point for each autobiography by pointing out the theories of motherhood, sisterhood and gender and power and by referring to several authors I would need to explore these theories. Our endless one-to-one conversations were very inspirational and, more importantly, motivational. Special thanks go to all the other professors and masters students I have met during my fieldwork at the Department of Gender and Women Studies at the University of the Western Cape in Bellville, South Africa. Their assistance and advice helped me a great deal. Especially the stimulating conversations I shared with Renee Titus, Zulfa Abrahams, Dawn Bosman and Monique Van Vuuren helped in the realization of my fieldwork.
