USING FILMS ON SOUTH AFRICA: AN ACTIVATION KIT ON INVESTMENTS Introduction You're probably reading this handbook because you are about to show a film on apartheid. Every decent American abhors apartheid. That isn't the problem. Rather, they ask, what can they do about it? South Africa is 10,000 miles away and events there seem out of our hands. Once everyone agrees that apartheid is deplorable, then what? What can you do when screening a film to help translate this concern into social action? More and more organizations feel that one answer lies in the use of their investment dollars. It is, afterall, our money which is both invested by corporations and loaned by banks to South Africa. Around the nation, church, student, labor, civic groups, and even municipalities are beginning to look at their bank account, investment, pension fund, and consumer dollars as potential instruments for influencing U.S. government and corporate policy towards South Africa. In a further exciting development, many of these same groups are beginning to examine ways to use these monies of theirs to meet some of the pressing needs- such as jobs and low costhousing-in neglected areas of their own communities. This approach allows for many possibilities of concrete actions, actions which also provide a very real link between the futures of our own communities and the lives of black South Africans. Films such as Six Days in Soweto and Last Grave at Dimbaza can play an effective role in promoting such activity. But the effectiveness of these films is limited by the methods you use while presenting them. Making use of questionnaires, simulation games, checklists, a discussion guide, background readings, and a resource guide, this handbook will help you place your film in a context where it will not only inform, but initiate specific action programs. It is intended to help a group develop a sense of itself as investors working together to take responsibility for the social consequences of their investment dollars. After first demystifying the role of investment as a social phenomena and helping the group realize that they themselves actually are investors, the kit will then facilitate the re-examination and re-definition of the group's own social role and potential activities with respect to apartheid. What Do You Do When the Lights Go On? Upon the return of one of our films a few months back we asked the booker what he did directly following the screening. "Turned on the lights, of course," he replied somewhat quizzically. Though his complete lack of comprehension of the terms of the question was in itself unusual, practically speaking, the great majority of those who use our films do little more following a screening. We've all had the experience of sitting in a darkened room estranged from our invisible neighbors, staring at a larger than life-size moving ikon up on the screen in front of us. Suddenly, the lights go on and the pupils contract. Perhaps we rub our blood-shot eyes. The group 'facilitator' stands up and tentatively asks, "Any questions?" A deadening, anxious silence roars across the room. We uncomfortably squirm in our seats averting our eyes from those of the 'facilitator' hoping that someone will just say something, anything. Whatever discussion is finally elicited then all too often concerns the merits of the film itself. Though the film is over the focus of audience activity remains the film. This is not surprising. Film viewing is generally a passive experience. We go to the movie, turn on the TV, or view a film in class, we expect to be entertained and, at most, informed. We sit back passively and consume the film's information content or story line. But how do we throw attention off the screen and back upon the group itself? How can we use the film not just to learn about what's on the screen, but to give ourselves a new perspective on our own situation? Remember, yours is a non-theatrical film screening. People are not coming to the film as 'film goers' as they would to see Star Wars or Apocalypse Now. Rather, they come as church members, or as trade unionists, as students, or as concerned citizens. They come as members of your class or organization. Their interest in the film is not so much its 'filmness' as its relationship to the 'matter at hand.' In this case, the 'matter at hand' is South Africa and your group's relationship to it. Perhaps you're students whose university endowment is invested in companies in South Africa. Or perhaps you're members of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union who handle cargo coming from or destined forSouth Africa. Or perhaps you're a member of a church whose funds are deposited in banks that make loans to South Africa. Though reasons for the specific screening vary, all of you

It is intended to demonstrate that the South African churches failed to effectively politicize and radicalize to confront the government until the advent of Contextual Theology in South Africa. Contextual Theology provided the Christian clergy the theological justification to unite with anti-apartheid organizations.

  • Aggrey Klaaste: the Relentless Community-Builder
    Aggrey Klaaste: The Relentless Community-Builder A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing of Rhodes University by Phakama Mbonambi February 2014 ii ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the life and times of Aggrey Klaaste, the larger-than-life late editor of Sowetan who shot to fame by championing a novel idea of nation building. His initiative started in 1988 as flames of violence engulfed South Africa and it seemed as if an apocalypse was on the cards. Sickened by what the frustrated black community was doing to itself, for example the use of the dreadful practice of necklacing against the so-called collaborators, he called for moral regeneration. He wanted his compatriots to look into the future and take their destiny in their own hands. Through nation building he tirelessly launched into crusading journalism that sought to heal the scars of the black community after decades of apartheid. It was grassroots community building. He rewarded ordinary men and women who made a difference in their communities. He actively sought peace to end the violence of the 1980s and 1990s. He spoke his mind without wearing any ideological blinkers, even as some thought his initiative would disturb the march to freedom. He was the ultimate newspaperman. This thesis argues that by calling for reconciliation and rebuilding of battered black communities even before freedom came, Klaaste was ahead of his time and even predated Nelson Mandela. Klaaste preferred to do what was right and not be shackled to any ideology.

Mandela / PQ Blackwell Ltd ABOUT THE BOOK On 11 February 1990, a dignified elderly man walked hand in hand with the wife from whom he had been forced to live apart for twenty-seven years out of prison and into history. It is a date and an image the world will never forget: the day Nelson Mandela was freed. From that day on, Nelson Mandela’s immense courage and personal moral authority moved out of the shadows of his prison cell to stand as a beacon of hope first to a bitterly divided nation and then to the whole world. Other images followed: a smiling Mandela casting his vote in his country’s first general election, a solemn Mandela at his inauguration as the first president of a democratic South Africa, Mandela with world leaders, with celebrities, with his wife Graça Machel and his family, in the midst of the crowds of children who were drawn to him wherever he went. Nelson Mandela occupied a unique place in our world and in Mandela – The Authorised Portrait: In Memoriam Edition the narrative of his epic journey to freedom is accompanied by the most complete collection of images ever assembled and by more than sixty specially commissioned interviews. World leaders, friends and associates ranging from Richard Branson to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, from Bono to President Thabo Mbeki, from his comrades in the South African struggle against apartheid to Muhammad Ali have all contributed their individual stories to build a compelling picture of this inspirational man through the eyes of those who were closest to him.
