The catalogue is specifically focused on materials by and about the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), dating from 1960 to1991. My hope is that by making it easier for people to find specific documents, the catalogue will contribute to the larger effort to preserve, make accessible, and pay respect to the work of the many individuals who dedicated their lives to the Namibian freedom struggle. I began work on this project in April 2001, under the guidance of Professor Christopher Saunders of the History Department of the University of Cape Town. After conducting preliminary research on the range of archival materials in the Western Cape that were relevant to Namibian history in general, and SWAPO in particular, it soon became clear that there was no existing record of the individual documents in the archives, thus making access to these resources both difficult and time-consuming. The catalogue begins with the Jack and Ray Simons Collection and the Amy Thornton Collection1 from the Manuscripts and Archives Department at the University of Cape Town (UCT). It also includes the Brian Bunting Collection and the International Defence & Aid Fund (IDAF) for Southern Africa Collection from the Robben Island Mayibuye Archives at the University of Western Cape (UWC). Each of these collections contains a wide variety of primary source material by and about SWAPO in Namibia, ranging from political journals and publications, to transcripts of SWAPO addresses, to statements and press releases, to correspondence and fax communications, to conference papers and reports, to individual newspaper clippings. Most of the materials in these archives are unpublished documents or limited editions. The catalogue is divided into four separate sections, each section representing a different collection. Each collection is labelled with original call numbers in order that the archival material be organised in the same way in which it is organised at each of the individual repositories. Each citation includes a brief abstract, which provides a detailed description of the document. The index also enables the reader to find a specific subject, person, organisation, author, or journal title. This organisational structure should allow readers to choose which archive will provide the most detailed and useful information about their specific areas of interest. It should be noted that this catalogue is not intended to be comprehensive. There are many other libraries, special collections, and archival repositories in Southern Africa and abroad that house materials relating to SWAPO. They are beyond the scope of this project. However, if one wishes to investigate these resources, a 1 It is important to note that researchers wishing to consult the Amy Thornton Collection must secure the prior written permission of either Amy Thornton or Professor Colin Bundy. These contact details are available at the Manuscripts and Archives Department at the University of Cape Town. A researcher who is permitted to consult the Collection may quote, publish, or photocopy sections of it as part of his research project, provided that he or she acknowledges the source of the information. vii good place to start would be the complete archival collections at the Robben Island Mayibuye Centre at the University of Western Cape. Additional collections that house individual documents pertaining to SWAPO include the Mayibuye Periodicals Collection, the South African Press Clippings Collection, the Wolfie Kodesh Collection, the Karel Roskam Collection, the M.D.

  • United States of America–Namibia Relations William a Lindeke*
    From confrontation to pragmatic cooperation: United States of America–Namibia relations William A Lindeke* Introduction The United States of America (USA) and the territory and people of present-day Namibia have been in contact for centuries, but not always in a balanced or cooperative fashion. Early contact involved American1 businesses exploiting the natural resources off the Namibian coast, while the 20th Century was dominated by the global interplay of colonial and mandatory business activities and Cold War politics on the one hand, and resistance diplomacy on the other. America was seen by Namibian leaders as the reviled imperialist superpower somehow pulling strings from behind the scenes. Only after Namibia’s independence from South Africa in 1990 did the relationship change to a more balanced one emphasising development, democracy, and sovereign equality. This chapter focuses primarily on the US’s contributions to the relationship. Early history of relations The US has interacted with the territory and population of Namibia for centuries – indeed, since the time of the American Revolution.2 Even before the beginning of the German colonial occupation of German South West Africa, American whaling ships were sailing the waters off Walvis Bay and trading with people at the coast. Later, major US companies were active investors in the fishing (Del Monte and Starkist in pilchards at Walvis Bay) and mining industries (e.g. AMAX and Newmont Mining at Tsumeb Copper, the largest copper mine in Africa at the time). The US was a minor trading and investment partner during German colonial times,3 accounting for perhaps 7% of exports.

    The Political Economy of Broadcasting and Telecommunications Reform in Namibia: 1990 - 2005 William Edward Heuva Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Graduate Programme in Culture, Communication and Media Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. / declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. It is being submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities, Development and Social Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. William Edward Heuva April 2007 i Acknowledgements The research project presented here has been conducted over a long period. It evolved and changed significantly over time. This is due to the nature and dynamics of the object of study. The communications sector which is the focus of this project has experienced rapid changes and transformations in the past 15 years and therefore, it was difficult to set a deadline for the project. Consequently I was compelled to extend the cut off date several times, shifting from the 1990-2000 to the 1990-2002 and finally to the 1990- 2005, in order to facilitate more research and analysis to determine the impact of the latest changes on policy and practice. My preoccupation with these transformations sometimes led to a cul-de-sac and frustrations. Nevertheless, the task is completed but not without encouragement and support from several individuals and institutions that I wish to acknowledge here. Firstly, I am thankful to my supervisor, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, who more than myself believed in the project.

I am also grateful to the Overseas Development Administration, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the Catholic Institute for International Relations and the Namibian Support Committee for their assistance in providing information. Thanks are especially due for the time and advice given by all those who read and commented on the drafts. In particular, I am grateful to Richard Moorsom who helped with both research and editing, and to Justin Ellis, Julio Faundez, Peter Katjavivi, Prudence Smith, Paul Spray and Brian Wood. This book reflects the collective experience of Oxfam's work in Namibia over the past twenty-two years and I have therefore relied on the active collaboration of Oxfam staff and trustees.
