TRANSFORMATION 15 (1991) ARTICLE \ EDUCATION, POLITICS AND ORGANISATION THE EDUCATIONAL TRADITIONS AND LEGACIES OF THE NON-EUROPEAN UNITY MOVEMENT, 1943-1986* Linda Chisholm The political culture of the.Western Cape, so any writer or visitor to the city of Cape Town and beyond will attest, is distinctive from that characterising the rest of the country. Wherever one stands on the organised political spectrum, it is distinc- tive for its combativeness, its intellectual assertiveness, and its critical disposition. Of course not all Western Cape activists or trade unionists are combative, or display critically enquiring minds. Nor are these qualities always an indisputable 'good'. Nonetheless, whatever the reservations and qualifications, it can be said that the political style of the Western Cape is distinctive. And it is remarkable. Sufficiently remarkable that it ought to be written about. The reasons for this distinctive character are of course complex and varied. Amongst these the political style and traditions established by the Non-European Unity Movement which grew out of the Anti-Coloured Affairs Department (Anti- CAD) campaign of the early 1940s must be included. It must be stressed that this is not the only, or even most significant political movement in the Western Cape; nor does it account for traditions that may have developed in the African townships.

  • F12 Richard Dudley
    Footprints RICHARD DUDLEY Born 15 April 1924 – Died June 2009. It was Dr Gonda Perez, now Deputy Dean Health Sciences Faculty, at University of Cape Town, who two years ago while chatting told me that she loved one Dudley who taught her in her Matriculation year at Livingstone High School in 1973 (See Footprints Beyond Grey Street ) Today 15 June 2009, Goolam Aboobaker, erstwhile employee of the Presidency, now working in New York, USA, while visiting confirmed that he knew Dudley and that he was a great teacher and belonged to the Unity Movement. They came a cropper over the popular cry of “liberation before education” – Dudley believed that the ANC was playing government’s game. In spite of this difference, Goolam himself a Mathematics teacher in Durban says that Dudley was an excellent teacher. In the undermentioned motivation to the Honorary Degrees Committee, more of this great educationist comes to the fore to better understand this icon of the struggle. 59 Footprints “MOTIVATION FOR AN HONORARY DOCTORATE (Taken from “Teacher and Comrade – Richard Dudley and the Fight for Democracy” by Alan Weider) “Richard Dudley was born in 1924 to Samuel and Alleta Dudley in Newlands, Cape Town. Samuel Dudley was the principal of St Andrew’s Mission School in Newlands, the primary school that Richard Dudley attended. He then went to Livingstone High School and later the University of Cape Town, where he obtained his education qualifications. “Dudley entered standard five at Livingstone High School at the age of 9. He excelled academically and wanted to study English and History at university but the School committee decided that they should “study science so that you could come back to Livingstone to teach science and mathematics” “Dudley was just 15 when he enrolled at the University of Cape Town (UCT), while World War II was raging.

  • Spatial Variation in School Performance, a Local Analysis of Socio-Economic Factors in Cape Town
    South African Journal of Geomatics, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 2014 Spatial Variation in School Performance, a Local Analysis of Socio-economic Factors in Cape Town. Arulsivanathan Ganas Varadappa Naidoo1, Amanda van Eeden2, Zahn Munch3 1Executive Manager, Stakeholders Relations and Marketing, Statistics South Africa, South Africa. 2Centre for Regional and Urban Innovation and Statistical Exploration, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa, [email protected] 3Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa. Abstract Poor pass rates of matric learners at secondary schools in South Africa has been a concern for quite some time. Despite large government spending on education, research has shown that the South African schooling system is struggling to convert resources to student performances and failing to promote social equity. The poor performance by South African students prompts further investigation into the factors contributing to educational outputs. The focus of this case study in Cape Town is twofold, firstly to determine if there are any spatial patterns among the matric pass rates of secondary schools and secondly to determine if there are any relationships between the matric pass rate of the school and the socio-economic attributes of the school feeder areas. Key findings of this research suggest that Cape Town schools are clustered in terms of school performance with high performing schools grouped together and many low performing schools also clustered together. There were a few exceptions where within a cluster of low performing schools there was one high performing school and vice versa. Outcomes of the research into spatially varying relationships point to selected socio-economic factors of the community, particularly parent and household characteristics, influencing the learner’s school performance.

  • Introduction
    1 introduction Before Dudley: Oppression, Racism, and the Roots of Resistance Much has been written about the fight against apartheid in South Africa, and now, with a continuing flow of publications on the Truth and Recon- ciliation Commission hearings, we are presented with a unique expanse of stories from the ground. Richard Dudley is one of the fighters. He is an urban educator and political activist who combined foundational ideological poli- tics with great caring, communication, and even compromise as a teacher and nominal principal at Livingstone High School, a highly rated public secondary school that was created for coloured students in 1926. In addition to teaching, Dudley worked endlessly, through various political organiza- tions, against apartheid oppression and for a democratic South Africa. Rich- ard Dudley’s life offers us multiple lenses for understanding apartheid South Africa. Dudley is truly a public intellectual, and that in itself is an important story. He is also totally and thoughtfully entwined with the life of Livingstone—first as a student, then as a teacher/principal, and presently as an elder. Finally, Richard Dudley has given his life to teaching and politics and affected and influenced thousands of people who continue to work for democracy in South Africa and abroad. Dudley’s life is totally entwined with education and politics, Livingstone High School, Cape Town, and democracy in South Africa. Dudley’s biogra- phy gives us the chance to explore the connection of education and politics in Cape Town as he and his comrades challenged first oppression and then apartheid. Dudley was born in 1924 and his story takes us through the many twentieth-century changes in South African oppression and resistance.
