On behalf of eThekwini Mayor Cllr James Nxumalo, I wish to extend a special welcome to you on this historical occasion. Tonight is a night filled with jubilation as we celebrate the 115th anniversary of Ohlange Institute. Ladies and gentlemen, this evening we are celebrating one of the oldest institutions in eThekwini. We do this in order to rekindle the vision of our icon Dr John Langalibalele Dube. UBaba uMafukuzela was the first President of the African National Congress and also the founder of Ohlange Institute. Programme Director, this historical Institute contributes enormously to the rich history and heritage of our City. Situated in Inanda Township, this Institute is deeply entrenched in the community. Its programmes, much like the vision of its founder, seek to develop the community so that people can truly benefit from the democracy we enjoy today. Let me mention to you that our first democratic President and world icon, the late Dr Nelson Mandela cast his very first democratic vote in our first democratic elections in 1994. This was a way to honour Dr John Langalibalele Dube for his tireless efforts in fighting for the freedom of our country. In this way Tata Madiba made a symbolic gesture which has raised the profile of the area. Inanda has not only attracted scores of tourists who are interested to learn about our trailblazer and to explore the Inanda Heritage Route. Welcome Address by Cllr Zandile Gumede at the Ohlange Institute 115 years celebrations, 14 November 2015 Page 2 Ladies and gentlemen, this institution has an endless list of great alumni including former Deputy President Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ncuka, Member of Parliament Honourable Thoko Didiza, Steve Kalamazoo Mokone, Judge John Hlophe, Judge Thabani Jali, Ms Lindiwe Hendricks, Mr Jabu Mabuza and Mr Cedric Sugar Ray Xulu. Apart from the people I have mentioned, Ohlange Institute has made a significant contribution to education and producing leaders in industry and society. In closing, I wish this institution many more years of success. May this institution continue to produce great leaders who will take our country forward. What we know about Dr John Langalibalele Dube was that he stood for self-reliance, self-respect, freedom and the liberation of the oppressed. I hope we can all adopt his teachings and practice them. In so doing, I hope we can preserve the vision of uBaba uMafukuzela. I am certain that Dr John Langalibalele Dube is very proud of this institution because it has contributed to the transformation and development of our country. Thank you Welcome Address by Cllr Zandile Gumede at the Ohlange Institute 115 years celebrations, 14 November 2015 Page 3 .

  • Article Woza Enanda: Perceptions of and Attitudes Towards Heritage And
    Article Woza eNanda: perceptions of and attitudes towards heritage and tourism in a South African township Sabine Marschall [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on local knowledge and perceptions about heritage and tourism in Inanda, north of Durban, in view of the eThekwini municipality’s recent investment in the upgrading of the Inanda Heritage Route. The research is based on in-depth interviews with a cross-section of Inanda residents and tourist guides, as well as a small survey and the experiences of a community outreach project based at two high schools in Inanda. It is evident that many residents of Inanda have never visited the route attractions, show little interest in heritage conservation, and appear to have no genuine sense of ownership of the heritage sites. While being positive about attracting tourists to Inanda, the paper finds that the community knows little about tourism and the needs and motivations of tourists. It is argued that this lack of knowledge and interest impedes local people’s ability to connect with the tourism phenomenon and take advantage of the opportunities it creates. This study highlights especially the role of young people as brokers of new value systems and the importance of instilling a passion for heritage and a locally contextualised understanding of tourism in the transformation of the tourism industry and heritage sector. Introduction Woza eNanda is the marketing slogan for the newly upgraded and revamped Inanda Heritage Route (IHR), outside Durban, part of the Ethekwini Municipality on the South African east coast. In time for the 2010 Fifa World Cup, much was invested in the improvement of various historical sites that form part of this route, among them Mahatma Gandhi’s Phoenix Settlement and the Ohlange Institute, established by Rev John L.

Policy shifts of the post-apartheid period not only necessitated new visions for the future but also new structures. The creation of a value-based new identity in foreign policy needed to be accompanied by a transformation of institutions relevant for the decision-making process in foreign policy. Looking at foreign policy in the era of President Mbeki, however, it becomes obvious that Max Weber’s observation that “in a modern state the actual ruler is necessarily and unavoidably the bureaucracy, since power is exercised neither through parliamentary speeches nor monarchical enumerations but through the routines of administration”,* no longer holds in the South African context.

Aerial deployment of a fibre optic network offers significant cost reductions compared to traditional trenching methods. Design of the Ilitha aerial fibre network will closely resemble the existing electricity distribution network in most residential areas. This will enable pricing to be more affordable compared to traditional data providers. The footprint of the Ilitha fibre roll out will stretch across a 96.2 km2 area which covers communities in KwaMashu, Inanda, Phoenix, and Ntuzuma... The project area is situated approximately 12 kilometres north of Durban and is bordered by Reservoir Hills & Newlands East to the south, KwaDabeka & Molweni to the west, Mount Edgecombe & Blackburn Estate to the east and Mawothi & Trenance Park to the north.

  • Apartheid and Post-Apartheid Discourses in School Space: a Study of Durban
    APARTHEID AND POST-APARTHEID DISCOURSES IN SCHOOL SPACE: A STUDY OF DURBAN JENNIFER KARLSSON A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF LONDON FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY September 2003 Educational Foundations and Policy Studies Institute of Education S 20 Bedford Way London WC 1H OAL DECLARATION The work presented in this thesis is my own. Jennifer Karlsson 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis the transition from one political dispensation to another provides the opportunity for examining spatial practices and political discourses in South African schools. The starting point is the Lefebvrian proposition that space is inscribed with past and present discourses and that new political discourses establish practices that compel the reshaping of space. Six public schools in the South African city of Durban provided the data and context for the study, which focused on apartheid and post-apartheid spatial practices. The objectives were to identify how the social relations of apartheid were learned through spatial relations in schools, how residual traces of apartheid spatial practices remained after the official demise of that political and economic system in the early 1990s, what forms new spatial practices in schools took and what aspects of the new political dispensation these revealed. A range of visual methodologies is used as a means to examine questions concerning spatial relations. Data was collected at six schools (three primary and three secondary) five of which exemplify different administration regimes under apartheid, and one of which opened in the post-apartheid era. Data sources comprised photographic observations recorded during participant observation and some photographs taken by learners from the selected schools.

So much has been achieved by the HSRP over the last three years, and yet it is more apparent than ever that the need for the role that the HSRP can play in assisting in the creation of quality education has never been greater. Minister Trevor Manuel, tasked with providing National Planning, is acutely aware of the impediments that are holding South Africa back from achieving its true potential. In September 2010, he presented sobering statistics indicating the state of education in South Africa. “Though 99.7% of South African children [of school-going age] were in school, this said nothing about the quality of teaching, whether teachers were in class teaching or how many days they were in class teaching. We’ve ticked Millennium Development Goal 2 [achieve universal primary education] but the outcomes in education are abysmal,” he noted. Of the 1.4 million pupils that started school in 1999, only 600,000 had sat for matric last year.
