  • Cradock Four
    Saif Pardawala 12/7/2012 TRC Cradock Four Amnesty Hearings Abstract: The Amnesty Hearing of the Truth and Reconciliation show the connection between the South African Apartheid state and the mysterious disappearances of four Cradock political activists. The testimonies of members of the security police highlight the lengths the apartheid state was willing to go to suppress opposition. The fall of Apartheid and the numerous examples of state mandated human rights abuses against its opponents raised a number of critical questions for South Africans at the time. Among the many issues to be addressed, was the need to create an institution for the restoration of the justice that had been denied to the many victims of apartheid’s crimes. Much like the numerous truth commissions established in Eastern Europe and Latin America after the formation of democracy in those regions, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was founded with the aims of establishing a restorative, rather than punitive justice. The goal of the TRC was not to prosecute and impose punishment on the perpetrators of the state’s suppression of its opposition, but rather to bring closure to the many victims and their families in the form of full disclosure of the truth. The amnesty hearings undertaken by the TRC represent these aims, by offering full amnesty to those who came forward and confessed their crimes. In the case of Johan van Zyl, Eric Taylor, Gerhardus Lotz, Nicholas van Rensburg, Harold Snyman and Hermanus du Plessis; the amnesty hearings offer more than just a testimony of their crimes. The amnesty hearings of the murderers of a group of anti-apartheid activists known as the Cradock Four show the extent of violence the apartheid state was willing to use on its own citizens to quiet any opposition and maintain its authority.

  • Anti·Apartheid
    FREE anti·apartheid iACTION! October 1985 BAY AREA FREE SOUTH AFRICA MOVEMENT No.4 BAFSAM Opposes Trade With Apartheid On October 8, the Bay Area Free South Africa Movement (BAFSAM) met with the Oakland Port Commission to demand that the Port of Oakland forbid the handling of both incoming and outgoing trade with South Africa. The struggle to get the Port Commis­ sioners to agree to this demand is part and parcel of an international call to break all diplomatic, economic and cul­ tural ties with the apartheid (racially­ segregated) regime. The call for breaking these ties with South Africa has been made by the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) and other black trade unions. It has been endorsed by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the World Fed­ eration of.Trade Unions (WFTU) and the International Labor Organization of the United Nations (!LO). Given that the United States is South Africa's number one trading partner, the BAFSAM has always stressed the importance of cutting off trade relations with the South African regime. the BAFSAM joins with the workers and community activists of New Orleans, Vancouver, B.C., Los Angeles, Tacoma, and Vancouver in Washington state, and picket line at the Oakland offices of the SAM, along with representatives from San Francisco who have refused to Pacific Maritime Association, and mon­ 20 other community organizations and unload or have delayed unloading itored and picketed other incoming trade unions, attended the West Coast South African car_go. ofteh risking vio­ ships laden with South African goods.

  • When the ANC and the SACP Created Umkhonto We Sizwe In
    When the ANC and the SACP created Umkhonto we SIzwe in 1961 to take up arms against the State for the attainment of basic political rights, few people could have imagIned that the predictions made by the British Priae Minister, Harold Macmillan, in Cape Town on 3 February 1960, would become a reality in less than thIrty years. What he told Parliament and the world at large on that day was that "the wind of change" was blowing throughout the African continent and "whether we like it or not this growth of national consciousness is a political fact. We must all accept it as a fact and our national policies must take account of It."(1) To the leaders of the South African government and to most White South Africans at the time Macmillan was not seen as a visionary but rather as a British politician interfering in South Africa's internal affairs. lor the government of Dr H.l. Verwoerd, with its strong belief in racial segregation and White domination, to accept the possibility of White Afrikaner nationalism capitulating to African nationalism was inconceivable. To Verwoerd, Black, but particularly African, political aspirations had no future in a South Africa under White rule. lor anyone to suggest otherwise or.to promote Black political rights, in a multi-racial democracy, particularly through extra-Parliamentary means, was to attack government policy and the right of Whites to rUle. Thus any demand by Blacks for equal political rights, with Whites, in a unItary state, whether peaceful or not, was outrightly re1ectd by the South African government, who banned both the PAC and the ANC in 1960 when, it thought, these organIzatIons had become too radical In their demands.

After winning the 1994 election the ANC had a huge task of building a truly non-racial and democratic South Africa without forgetting its past.

Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

  • The Matola Raid 2
    THE MATOLA RAID 2. The people The human toll The Matola Raid caused the deaths of some 20 people. Thirteen ANC cadres were killed or mortally wounded. Five other cadres were abducted, and at least one was subjected to prolonged torture, then executed. For the cadres’ families, uncertainty and grief were compounded by Apartheid state prohibitions on attending the funeral in Maputo. A Portuguese citizen – an electrical engineer helping Mozambique’s power supply agency – drove accidentally into one of the raiders’ roadblocks, and was shot dead. ________________ The fate of the abductees The raiders abducted four ANC cadres: Selby Vuyani Mavuso, Thibe Ntsekang, Albert Mahutso and David Thobela. During post-Apartheid South Africa’s Truth & Reconciliation hearings, Mavuso’s fate was revealed. After continually refusing to succumb to interrogation, he had been handed over to the notorious “Vlakplaas” unit, tortured, and killed. Ntsekang is also believed to have been sent to “Vlakplaas” where he became an “askari” – an informant for the apartheid regime. Mahutso survived and is believed to have died in August 2013. Nothing is known of his life after his abduction in 1981. Thobela resurfaced in Mozambique some years after the raid. The circumstances of his release were mysterious, and his former comrades dissociated themselves from him. While many believed that ANC cadre Collin Khumalo was also abducted during the Matola Raid, recent evidence shows that he was in fact captured by the Security Police at Bhunye police station in Swaziland in 1984, and not at Matola in 1981. _________ Profiling the deceased cadres Some of the ANC cadres who died in the Matola Raid were charismatic leaders, whose deeds and personalities are on historical record.

One of the most significant compromises made by the negotiators was the acceptance of an amnesty process culminating in the passage of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act of 1995. The Act grants full indemnity from criminal and civil prosecution to anyone affiliated with a political organization who committed an "act associated with a political objective" and who fully discloses all relevant facts. The purpose of the Act is twofold: to establish the "truth" about the apartheid past and to promote "reconciliation" among South Africans.
