My generation have ,seen grave arimes of oppression aommitted against the people. We grew up disaussing the latest pass raids~ whose father had been detained~ who had lost a parent in detention, or in whiah prison one of your parents is~ when last they were visited, when the last po lice raid was in your home ...This briefly was our ahildhood aonversation. ' Zinzi Mandela, 'daughter of Nelson Mandela- imprisoned for Ufe­ and Winnie Mandela - banished, spe'aking at an amnesty rally at t,he University of the Witwatersrand,Johannesburg~20March 7-980. The stunning victory of the Patriotic Front in the February elections in Zimbabwe has sent shock wav:es throughout the world - especially across the Limpopo into the bastion of apart­ heid. South African whites, were shaken to their roots. 'The Pretoria response was an idea uttered by Prime' Minister Pieter Both~ for assembling a national conference of all races to stand I shoulder to shoulder' to defend South Africa against commmism. Botha has reneged and now says that his 'states conference' really means a gathering of leaders of his scheme of a 'constellation of Southern African states', a device for attempting to control all the sub-continent - a concept which now lies in ruins in the wake of the victory of the people in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's message came through loud and clear to South Africa's blacks. Exultation swept the country. Soweto SUNDAY POST editor Percy Qoboza picked up on both the tide flowing out of Zimbatwe and Botha' s flustered reaction and launched a campaign for freedom for exiled and'imprisoned leaders. The 20th anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre of 21 March 1960 was marked amidst the refreshing events. An enhanced determination' infuses the ranks of the oppressed and aJIDng those nore fortunate. An opportunity, a hopeful opportunity) pre­ sents.a path for a peacefUl and just settlement in that lovely and agonized land. No such settlement can succeed without an amnesty. South Africa's 'natural 'leade~s'must be free, unhampered and at home so that any genuine representative national dialogue can ensue. We outside South Africa must redouble our efforts, to support the call for amnesty, without in any way relenting in pressures for economic sanctions against Pretoria or in our suppor:t for the active forces of liberation. ' CALL ON PRESIDENT' CARTER, ON YOUR LEGISLATORS, ON YOUR CffiJRCH AND COMMUNITY LEADERS This is a last chance for peaceful change in South Africa. SEND MESSAGES TO: Ambassador Donald B. -Sole South African Embassy PHONE: (202) 232-4400 3051 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20008 M&M 6 30 March 80 - 2 - The Afrikaner ruling National Party in South Africa is rent with fratricidal warfare. Which way to go? Particularly after the dramatic events in Zimbabwe. The schemes of Prime Minis­ ter Botha for loosening up on· some minor apartheid restrictions and for building up a black elite in the country's urban areas and installing a black governing class in the bantustans to act as buffers against ever rising black aspirations are threatened by the die-hard, all­ out aPartheiders whose rallying person is Dr Andries Truernicht, head of the powerful party caucus in Transvaal Province. Suddenly, former and thought-disgraced State President Baltha­ zar Vorster has surfaced supporting the hard line. In mid-March, the party almost split in 1:W:> over, of all things, whether boys classified in South African terms as 'Coloured.' should be allowed to play rugby with white boys. On that occasion the Botha-Truernicht differences were patched over - only' for the moment. So-called enlightened Afrikaners and some of their English-descended counterparts are calling for yet more 'radical' changes than heretofore contemplated. The fennent is widespread and many are predicting a certain split in the Nat Party. The South African Parliament, now sitting at Cape Town, is on tenterhooks. A curious thing has happened. Johannesburg Sunday papers on 23 March disclosed a secret document prepared by the South African Defence Force f s Director-General of Civil Action,pur­ portedlyon behalf of the Chief of the South African Defence Force, full General Magnus Malan. The document was dated 18 February and concerned with nullifying criticism of the SADF's bud­ get. Ostensibly aimed at the parliamentary opposition 'parties, the scheme could as well be focussed on the hard core enemies of Botha f s path of enlightenment. The SADF and especially General Malan,. are proponents of - indeed contributors to - the political objectives qf.the Botha faction - towards a more sophisticated effort to maintain white supremacy. ':.' . lDndon's GUARDIAN refers to the Afrikaans language newspaper, DIE VADERLAND, in 'identify­ ing five potential target areas of criticism:. the role of black and Coloured soldiers; coll\.... pla:i:nts that Citizen Force infantrymen bear the brunt of fighting in.the operational zone in south-west Africa~ conscientious objection; pay problems; and unlawful game hunting (an issue which has already brought the Defence FOrce adverse publicity).' Johannesburg's THE STAR gave details of, 'an alleged meeting between Defence Force officers and seniour personnel of the South African Broadcasting Corporation which resulted in television producers being told to make "sabre-rattling films". ' A story - unconfirmed - swept New York circles last week that General Malan (who received his ccmnand and general staff training in America in the 60s) was in Washington. This came at the time that an Israel radio station reported the Israeli Defense Minister, Ezer weiz­ man, had just made a secret visit to South Africa, a report denied by Tel Aviv. Four years ago ECSA received information that there would be a coup in South Africa - a 'left1 coup, which in the South African scene would be about the nature of the Botha-SADF efforts at ,liberalization'. South Africa is virtually at the point of total mobilization and there are those who predict an inevitable military take-over. * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * The former head of the Selous Scouts, the Ian Smith-Abel Muzorewa regime's offbeat terrorist military unit, Colonel Ron Reid-Daly, is in South Africa stirring the fears and passions of the tmreconstructable. He spoke recently to a 100 students at Rand Afrikaans University,and was loudly applauded. Referring to Prime Minister-designate Robert Mugabe, he said, accord­ ing to THE STAR of Johannesburg: 'There he is, sitting with the gooks we were trying to kill in his army, with whites alongside them. It is only a matter of time before there is a counter-coup. He is a fool to think those gooks are going to trust him with whites in the army. They will call him a sell-out...One dark and smelly night he and his gooks are going to pullout their long knives and cut the throats of the white Rhodesian soldiers.'The colo­ nel waxed philosophic: 'War is actually a battle to win the hearts of people. We killed so many gooks we lost count, but what did we achieve? You must win the hearts of the people and then deal with the gooks.' 30 March 80 - 3 - ULLIAN MASEDIBA NGOYI, a long-time and well-honored leader in the struggle against oppressiOn in South Africa, died on 13 March 19BO.

  • Anti-Apartheid Movement Social Movements Are Rarely Born in Isolation, and the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) in South Africa Is No Different
    Anti-Apartheid Movement Social movements are rarely born in isolation, and the anti-apartheid movement (AAM) in South Africa is no different. The AAM grew out of ongoing resistance movements and the efforts of many within South Africa and the international community to end racial inequality and the oppressive policies of enforced racial segregation in South Africa known as apartheid. Resistance to long-standing racial inequality in South Africa was evident before the beginning of the 20th century. Organized resistance began with groups such as the Natal Indian Congress, African churches, labor and trade unions, the African National Congress (ANC), and the Communist Party. Subsequent organizations such as the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), founded in 1959 by Robert Sobukwe, the South African Student's Organization (SASO), founded in 1969 by Stephen Biko, and the United Democratic Front, founded in 1983 proved instrumental in ending apartheid. Early forms of resistance were primarily peaceful, including mass demonstrations, civil disobedience, boycotts, and strikes. These strategies, employed by various groups in an effort to achieve social justice and to bring an end to the oppressive white South African government, never quieted. However, as a result of ongoing racial segregation, subsequent generations of African leaders determined that violent measures were necessary in order to gain freedom. The 1940s witnessed a number of important events that became crucial for the AAM, both in South Africa and abroad. Within South Africa, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, and Oliver Tambo formed a youth league within the ANC to develop new strategies of resistance. Around the same time, the ever-growing oppression was forcing growing numbers of South Africans into exile in London.

RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

  • Celebrating Women on Women's
    CELEBRATING WOMEN ON WOMEN’S DAY In one of the largest demonstrations staged in this country’s history, 20 000 women of all races marched to Pretoria’s Union Buildings on 9 August 1956, to present a petition against the carrying of passes by women to the Prime Minister, JG Strijdom. This famous march, which was first celebrated on the 9th of August in 1995, is now celebrated and commemorated every year. The march against the pass laws was organised by the Federation of South African Women (FSAW or FEDSAW). The Federation famously challenged the idea that ‘a woman’s place is in the kitchen’, declaring it instead to be ‘everywhere’. Although Prime Minister JG Strijdom was not at the Union Buildings to accept the petition, the women of South Africa sent a public message that they would not be intimidated and silenced by unjust laws. After the petition was handed over to the secretary of the prime minister, the women sang a freedom song: Wathint` abafazi, Strijdom! Since then, the phrase ‘wathint’ abafazi, wathint’ imbokodo’ (You Strike a Woman, You Strike a Rock) has come to represent the courage and strength of South African women. - SA History Online Rahima Moosa (14 October 1922 - 29 May 1993) Helen Joseph (8 April 1905 – 25 Dec 1992) is one was a member of the Transvaal Indian Congress of the most well-known South African women and later the African National Congress.
