  • Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
    Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

  • Islamic Liberation Theology in South Africa: Farid Esack’S Religio-Political Thought
    ISLAMIC LIBERATION THEOLOGY IN SOUTH AFRICA: FARID ESACK’S RELIGIO-POLITICAL THOUGHT Yusuf Enes Sezgin A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Cemil Aydin Susan Dabney Pennybacker Juliane Hammer ã2020 Yusuf Enes Sezgin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Yusuf Enes Sezgin: Islamic Liberation Theology in South Africa: Farid Esack’s Religio-Political Thought (Under the direction of Cemil Aydin) In this thesis, through analyzing the religiopolitical ideas of Farid Esack, I explore the local and global historical factors that made possible the emergence of Islamic liberation theology in South Africa. The study reveals how Esack defined and improved Islamic liberation theology in the South African context, how he converged with and diverged from the mainstream transnational Muslim political thought of the time, and how he engaged with Christian liberation theology. I argue that locating Islamic liberation theology within the debate on transnational Islamism of the 1970s onwards helps to explore the often-overlooked internal diversity of contemporary Muslim political thought. Moreover, it might provide important insights into the possible continuities between the emancipatory Muslim thought of the pre-1980s and Islamic liberation theology. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to many wonderful people who have helped me to move forward on my academic journey and provided generous support along the way. I would like to thank my teachers at Boğaziçi University from whom I learned so much. I was very lucky to take two great courses from Zeynep Kadirbeyoğlu whose classrooms and mentorship profoundly improved my research skills and made possible to discover my interests at an early stage.

  • Points of Irony Sharing Office Space with Cllr Achmat Williams of The
    Points of Irony Sharing office space with Cllr Achmat Williams of the National Party South Africa is interesting. When some politicians make the news for all the wrong reasons, Cllr Williams always has a story to tell. That Pierre Uys the African National Congress [ANC] Chief Whips and the Democratic Alliance [DA] Chief Whip Mark Wiley blame the other’s party for mischief is highly ironic. Few people know that both these politicians were important leaders in the former National Party in the dark days of Apartheid. According to Cllr Williams the question, can a leopard change its spots have been answered by these two Apartheid era politicians as they battle it out for attention on the floor of the provincial legislature. While those who suffered under Apartheid continue to struggle to eke out a living with high rates, water and electricity costs, there are others who benefitted from Apartheid who continue to benefit. Since ordinary voter has no power to dictate what persons represent them in the provincial or national parliament, perhaps the time has come to review our electoral process. Since Cllrs are elected via direct and proportional voting, can the same rules not apply to parliamentarians? With this option, the electorate knows exactly on whose behalf Marius Fransman and others speaks when they refer to “the people” or “the poorest of the poor”. Pierre Uys could also clarify on whose behalf he interrupted Helen Zille while the rest of us were trying to listen to the Premier speech. Perhaps the Cape Times conduct a survey to determine how many parliamentarians really work in a township or district to which they are assigned.

  • Mcebisi Jonas Tells of Guptas Boasting of Their Control of Hawks, NPA, and NIA
    24 August 2018 Zondo Commission: Mcebisi Jonas tells of Guptas boasting of their control of Hawks, NPA, and NIA Former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas revealed on Friday that one of the Gupta brothers, whom he believes to be Ajay Gupta, threatened his life should he ever tell anyone about a meeting held between them at the Gupta home in Johannesburg in October 2015. Also present at the meeting were Zuma’s son Duduzane as well as former defence advisor Fana Hlongwane. Jonas told the commission of inquiry into state capture, sitting in Johannesburg, that Gupta appeared emotional when it became clear that Jonas was not in favour of Gupta’s previously reported offer for the position of finance minister, held at the time by Nhlanhla Nene. “He (Gupta) had come into the room and immediately told me that they had information on me and the ‘old man’ had suggested that they talk to me,” said Jonas, reading from the sworn statement he made to the commission. By ‘old man’, he said, Gupta had been referring to former president Jacob Zuma. According to Jonas, he had been driven to an undisclosed meeting venue by Duduzane, whom he had met earlier at the Hyatt hotel in Rosebank. Duduzane appeared nervous when they met at the Hyatt, and told Jonas that he would prefer to move to a more private place. Jonas told the commission he was unaware of what the meeting agenda was or that they would joined by others. He had previously been invited by Duduzane to the South African of the Year Awards, but had declined, and later agreed to meeting at a later stage.
