My Yemeni friends, caught in the midst of an endless war, had a particularly terrible ten days. Saudi-UAE aircraft struck another wedding, while they assassinated an important Yemeni political leader.

Meanwhile, the new UN Special Envoy leaves his post in Syria – another unforgiving war – to try his hand at a political settlement in Yemen.

It explores some of the Private disarticulations of public policy and argues that these both undermine public sector delivery and Public open up opportunities for private provision to be, under certain circumstances, more responsive to the Vocational education and training challenges of national development. We argue that there is a possibility that the state could work more Economic development smartly with both sets of providers. Crucially, however, this would necessitate working more smartly within itself. This was a major plank of the Mbeki strategy but it has failed conspicuously with regard to the Education–Labour relationship. Whether a new President can achieve a radical reworking of this relationship may be an important indicator of the viability of any new development project. The article concludes with reflections on the renewed international interest in skills development as a way of responding to the real and imagined pressures and opportunities of globalisation.

    “We are the people who don’t count” – Contesting biopolitical abandonment Anna Selmeczi Central European University [email protected] Paper to be presented at the 2010 ISA Convention in New Orleans, February 17-20th Panel: Governing Life Globally: The Biopolitics of Development and Security Work in progress – please do not cite without the author’s permission. Comments are most welcome. 2 “We are the people who don’t count” – Contesting biopolitical abandonment 1. Introduction About a year before his lecture series “Society Must be Defended!”, in which he first elaborated the notion of biopolitics, in a talk given in Rio de Janeiro, Foucault discussed the “Birth of the Social Medicine”. As a half-way stage of the evolution of what later became public health, between the German ‘state medicine’ and the English ‘labor-force medicine’, he described a model taking shape in the 18th century French cities and referred to it as ‘urban medicine’. With view to the crucial role of circulation in creating a healthy milieu, the main aim of this model was to secure the purity of that which circulates, thus, potential sources of epidemics or endemics had to be placed outside the flaw of air and water nurturing urban life. According to Foucault (2000a), it was at this period that “piling-up refuse” was problematized as hazardous and thus places producing or containing refuse – cemeteries, ossuaries, and slaughterhouses – were relocated to the outskirts of the towns. As opposed to this model, which was the “medicine of things”, with industrialization radically increasing their presence in the cities, during the subsequent period of the labor force medicine, workers and the poor had become to be regarded as threats and, in parallel, circulation had been redefined as – beyond the flow of things such as air and water – including the circulation of individuals too (Ibid., 150).

  • Intellectual Practices of a Poor People's Movement in Post
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Article Volume 6 (1): 185 – 210 (May 2014) Robertson, Professors of our own poverty Professors of our own poverty: intellectual practices of a poor people’s movement in post-apartheid South Africa Cerianne Robertson Abstract This paper addresses how a poor people’s movement contests dominant portrayals of ‘the poor’ as a violent mass in contemporary South African public discourse. To explore how Abahlali baseMjondolo, a leading poor people’s movement, articulates its own representation of ‘the poor,’ I examine two primary intellectual and pedagogical practices identified by movement members: first, discussion sessions in which members reflect on their experiences of mobilizing as Abahlali, and second, the website through which the movement archives a library of its own homegrown knowledge. I argue that these intellectual practices open new spaces for the poor to represent themselves to movement members and to publics beyond shack settlements. Through these spaces, Abahlali demonstrates and asserts the intelligence which exists in the shack settlements, and demands that its publics rethink dominant portrayals of ‘the poor.’ Keywords: Abahlali baseMjondolo, the poor, movement, intellectual and pedagogical practices, South Africa, post-apartheid Introduction On August 16, 2012, at a Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, South Africa, 34 miners on strike were shot dead by police. South African and global press quickly dubbed the event, “The Marikana Massacre,” printing headlines such as “Killing Field”, “Mine Slaughter”, and “Bloodbath,” while videos of police shooting miners went viral and photographs showed bodies strewn on the ground (Herzkovitz, 2012). In September, South Africa’s Mail & Guardian reported that more striking miners “threw stones at officers” while “plumes of black smoke poured into the sky from burning tyres which workers used as barricades” ("Marikana," 2012).

    THE STRUGGLE FOR A SECOND TRANSITION IN SOUTH AFRICA: UPRISING, DEVELOPMENT AND PRECARITY IN THE POST-APARTHEID CITY Yousuf Al-Bulushi A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: John Pickles Altha Cravey Michael Hardt Scott Kirsch Eunice Sahle ©2014 Yousuf Al-Bulushi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Yousuf Al-Bulushi: The Struggle for a Second Transition in South Africa: Uprising, Development and Precarity in the Post-Apartheid City (Under the direction of John Pickles) This dissertation explores the limitations of post-apartheid liberation in the specific environment of Durban, South Africa. It takes a social movement of shack dwellers, Abahlali baseMjondolo, as a looking glass into urban debates concerned with the wellbeing of some of South Africa’s most marginalized communities. As the country struggles to deal with the ongoing crises of mass poverty, inequality, and unemployment, the government has responded with a range of developmental projects. At the same time, poor people around the country have protested injustice in record numbers, rivaling levels of unrest in any other part of the world. A mix of state repression and increased governmental redistribution of wealth has been the official response. This study explores these contentious issues by placing them in the context of South Africa’s Second Transition. More broadly, the approach situates the study at multiple geographical scales of analysis from the global to the continental, and the regional to the city.

It is not enough to taste a little of it ourselves in a small group discussion but always to share with more people, more ears. Our view as Abahlali baseMjondolo is that it is discussed in Ievery settlement to hear what people think and say about ‘Free- dom Day’, to listen to their thinking about Freedom Day and the realities of shack fi res, the Slum Act and so on. We need an open debate about notions of freedom, especially when so much of the people’s lives is a contradiction to freedom. We need to make sure that as a Movement, we remain on the same page as the people’s thinking and understanding. It might be a taste of freedom in itself to do this. So this space of discussing and listen- ing is a small but important part of freedom – the freedom that comes from searching for the truth. Our country is caught in a politics that often prevents us to search for real truth. We don’t say that we in the movements are perfect, but at least we are try- ing, we are opening these gates; at least we are on a right path to search for the truth. We have a deep responsibility to make sure that no-one can shut these gates. When we have unFreedom Day as well as a new law like the Slums Act being pushed at the people by the same politicians, and all in the name and language of ‘freedom’, we see the contra- dictions in our country.

  • Escape from Pretoria
    Escape from Pretoria by Tim Jenkin How did three political prisoners break out of one of South Africa’s top security prisons? Angry and embarrassed by the escape, the apartheid Security Branch forced one of the warders to say he had been bribed to help them. But the truth was quite different. Escape from Pretoria shows how patience, single-mindedness and meticulous attention to detail got the prisoners out of their cells and through 14 locked doors...to freedom. It is, however, much more than just an escape story. It is an account of how a white South African became conscious of the injustice on which his privileged life was based and chose to throw in his lot with the oppressed black majority of South Africa by joining the liberation struggle. (Cover description from the original book). Escape from Pretoria was first published by Kliptown Books, London, in April 1987. The book is now distributed by David Philip Publishers (Pty), PO Box 23408, Claremont 7735, South Africa.
