Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) 1 Biography: elson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was Neducated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961. 1 “Nelson Mandela: President of South Africa”, Encyclopædia Britannica, www.britannica.com/biography/Nelson-Mandela 200732 Bibliotheca Alexandrina-Library Sector Compiled by Abir Abdallah, Alaa Mahmoud & Dalia Abaza After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela’s campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland. During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela’s reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom. Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life’s work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organization’s National Chairperson.2 On his 80th birthday in 1998 he married Graça Machel, his third wife. True to his promise, Mandela stepped down in 1999 after one term as President. He continued to work with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund he set up in 1995 and established the Nelson Mandela Foundation and The Mandela Rhodes Foundation. In April 2007 his grandson, Mandla Mandela, was installed as head of the Mvezo Traditional Council at a ceremony at the Mvezo Great Place. Nelson Mandela never wavered in his devotion to democracy, equality and learning. Despite terrible provocation, he never answered racism with racism. His life is an inspiration to all who are oppressed and deprived; and to all who are opposed to oppression and deprivation. He died at his home in Johannesburg on 5 December 2013.3 2 “Nelson Mandela: Biographical”, Nobel Prize, www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/1993/mandela/biographical/ 3 “Biography of Nelson Mandela”, Nelson Mandela Foundation, www.nelsonmandela.org/content/page/biography 200732 Bibliotheca Alexandrina-Library Sector Compiled by Abir Abdallah, Alaa Mahmoud & Dalia Abaza Selected Materials Available at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Works by the Author Books: Mandela, Nelson.

  • Apartheid Revolutionary Poem-Songs. the Cases of Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli

    Apartheid Revolutionary Poem-Songs. the Cases of Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli

    Corso di Laurea magistrale (ordinamento ex D.M. 270/2004) in Lingue e Letterature Europee, Americane e Postcoloniali Apartheid Revolutionary Poem-Songs. The Cases of Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli Relatore Ch. Prof. Marco Fazzini Correlatore Ch. Prof. Alessandro Scarsella Laureanda Irene Pozzobon Matricola 828267 Anno Accademico 2013 / 2014 ABSTRACT When a system of segregation tries to oppress individuals and peoples, struggle becomes an important part in order to have social and civil rights back. Revolutionary poem-songs are to be considered as part of that struggle. This dissertation aims at offering an overview on how South African poet-songwriters, in particular the white Roger Lucey and the black Mzwakhe Mbuli, composed poem-songs to fight against apartheid. A secondary purpose of this study is to show how, despite the different ethnicities of these poet-songwriters, similar themes are to be found in their literary works. In order to investigate this topic deeply, an interview with Roger Lucey was recorded and transcribed in September 2014. This work will first take into consideration poem-songs as part of a broader topic called ‘oral literature’. Secondly, it will focus on what revolutionary poem-songs are and it will report examples of poem-songs from the South African apartheid regime (1950s to 1990s). Its third part will explore both the personal and musical background of the two songwriters. Part four, then, will thematically analyse Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli’s lyrics composed in that particular moment of history. Finally, an epilogue will show how the two songwriters’ perspectives have evolved in the post-apartheid era.

    Mobilization, Conflict and Repression: The United Democratic Front and Political Struggles in the Pietermaritzburg region, 1983-1991. BY NGQABUTHO NHLANGANISO BHEBHE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Historical Studies, University of Natal. Pietermaritzburg July 1996. DEDICATION To My Family I dedicate this thesis to my father R. Hlanganiso and to my mother K. Rawuwe. To my sisters, Nominenhle and Lindivve,and my brothers, Duduzani, Dumile and Vumani, thanks for your patience and unwavering support. ABSTRACT In the eight years of its existence, from 1983 to 1991, the United Democratic Front had a major impact on the pace and direction ofpolitical struggles in South Africa. The UDF was a loose alliance of organizations, whose strength was determined by the nature of the organizations affiliated to it. This thesis explores the nature of the problems faced by the UDF in the Pietermaritzburg region, and how it sought to respond to them. Chapter one -covers the period from 1976 to 1984. This chapter surveys the political context in which the UDF wasformed, beginning withthe Soweto uprising of 1976, and continuing with the growth of extra-parliamentary organizations in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leading up to the formation of the UDF in 1983. This chapter ends with emergence of organized extra-parliamentary activitiesin Pietermaritzburgin 1984. Chapter two assesses the period between1984 and mid-1986. This was the time when the UDF activists began to mobilize in the region, and it was during this period that UDF structures were set up.

  • Nelson Mandela's Final Battle: Dying with Dignity

    Nelson Mandela's Final Battle: Dying with Dignity

    Nelson Mandela’s Final Battle: Dying With Dignity By Danny Schechter Theme: Media Disinformation Global Research, July 15, 2013 Durban, South Africa: If I was an ailing Nelson Mandela, and, at all conscious of the storms surrounding me, I might not be in such a hurry to open my eyes. My diagnosis of “critical but stable” might change rapidly were I to find out how fiercely members of my own family are battling over my remains, and the funds I had provided for them in a special trust administered by people I trusted. This spectacle could kill me! As thousands of South Africans hold prayer sessions outside “his” Pretoria hospital, and with the world media still on an escalating ‘death watch,’ inside, there’s been a clash among and between family members, government officials trying to control and spin health information, and, even, doctors who have been cited, wrongly, in court battles about his condition. (The latest news from family members that he is “doing better” cannot be too encouraging to a media anxious to bring this expensive to cover story to its conclusion.) There had been an official denial of a claim that he is in a vegetative state, along with unsubstantiated rumors that he is being kept alive at least until July 18, his 95th birthday, a day marked worldwide as “Mandela Day” to encourage community service. Meanwhile, a sideshow sparked by warring family members robs the occasion of any of the dignity it deserves with one daughter of an earlier marriage, and her daughter, lashing out in an obvious bid for money and even to control media coverage with a demand that CNN, a foreign network, should be given “preferential access” to cover the funeral possible upstaging the South African Broadcasting Corporation, the national broadcaster.

    Annex to COLL00159: Anti-Apartheid and Southern Africa Video Collection Detailed descriptions of IISG BG V8/001-931 (from NiZA database, compiled by Gertjan Doeleman between 2003 and 2008; partly in Dutch, partly in English) Come back Africa / dir. by Lionel Rogosin. - South Africa, Johannesburg ; USA, New York : Rogosin, 1960. - Video : VHS; 90 min. B/W picture Call number: BG V8/001 Keywords: * South Africa * migrant workers * apartheid system * labour relations * Sophiatown * rural-urban relations * history; 1945-1960 Summary: This classic documentary tells the story of Zachariah, a Zulu man who is driven from his rural home in Zululand to the shantytowns of Johannesburg to find work in the goldmines, and later in a variety of low payed jobs. The film offers a vivid view of the everyday life in Johannesburg's black community, contrasting Zachariah's docile, subservient behaviour on the job and as himself as a quiet, reserved person trying to survive. Using documentary and dramatic sequences, the film is a valuable document of the lives of black intellectuals, writers, journalists, and labourers, with Miriam Makeba making her screen debut in an unforgettable sequence in a shebeen in Sophiatown. No professional actors used. Remarks: Picture quality: notsogood * VZA 001. Also on VZA 075 The magic garden / dir. by Donald Swanson. - UK, London : [s.n.], 1961. - Video : VHS; 62 min.
