Manyof our comrades - including priests andreligious people - have been arrested anddetained under this law; some have evenbeen killed "because they are communists."The South African regime - that racistmonster on the African continent - isafraid of what it calls the black danger(swart gevaar). This black danger becomesmore dangerous when it is combined withanother danger: the red danger. Thereforelet us do away with both dangers - this isracist logic!This combination of racism with anti-communism expresses itself inanti-Sovietism. This anti-Sovietism takesridiculous forms in our country. Let ustake one example. Recently theunderground guerrillas of our liberationmovement intensified the struggle insidethe country through strikes, demonstrations,sabotage and armed actions. In their attemptto minimise the effects of these attacks,the racists invented a story: they told theworld that these actions were planned andmasterminded by Dr. Solodovnikov, theSoviet ambassador in Lusaka, Zambia!One wonders when the Soviet ambassadorhas time to do his diplomatic work whenhe is busy "planning and masterminding"the South African revolution!The racists do not stop at that. Theytell the world that they have to occupyNamibia so as to counteract ' Sovietinfluence; they attack Angola because ofthe presence of the Cubans there; theyattack Mozambique because it harboursmembers of the African National Congressthere.The racists are able to do this becauseof the support they receive frominternational imperialism. The imperialistcountries support the racist regime not somuch because of the so-called Soviet threatbut because they participate in the super-exploitation of our people and the resourcesof the country and the militarisation of theIndian Ocean, especially Diego Garcia,is seen by them as an aspect of their globalstrategy. Hence the talk about racist SouthAfrica's existence being an aspect of thedefence strategy of the major imperialistcountries: if you do not support us we shallnot give you any minerals.Recently the Reagan administration hada lot to say about what they called "inter-national terrorism." Yet the frontline statesare being daily threatened or attacked bythe forces of racism in Southern Africa.Angola is a case in point and Namibia isbeing misused to attack Angola, a countrywhich does not share a border with SouthAfrica. This attack on Angola, this attackon Mozambique, this colonisation andmisuse of Namibia to attack independentAfrican states, these attempts at destabilisingthe region of Southern Africa - this is"international terrorism" and yet Reaganhas nothing to say about it!A characteristic feature of the bogeyof anti-communism in South Africa is thatthe Blacks are not at all involved in thisdiatribe. They find such discussionsirrelevant ; a waste of time. They rememberthe words of Nelson Mandela in his Rivoniaspeech when he said:"It is perhaps difficult for White SouthAfricans, with an ingrained prejudice against Page 7 of 38 communism, to understand why experiencedAfrican politicians so readily acceptcommunists as their friends. But to us thereason is obvious. Theoretical differencesamongst those fighting against oppressionis a luxury we cannot afford at this stage."111andela went on to explain the activities,role and struggle of the communists inSouth Africa and stated:"Because of this, there are many Africanswho, today, tend to equate freedom withcommunism. They are supported in thisbelief by a legislature which brands allexponents of democratic government andAfrican freedom as communists ... underthe Suppression of Communism Act."The Blacks are concerned with morerelevant issues; they are busy discussing theFreedom Charter, that is solving theideological questions of our struggle andshortening the spears. They are demandingthe release of Nelson Mandela and allpolitical prisoners in South Africa; they areorganising, educating the masses throughword of mouth and leaflets; they areengaged in strikes and demonstrations;they mobilise the religious people, thewomen and youth and they back up theiractions with armed struggle and sabotage.They are more and more identifying withthe ANC which is the only organisationthat will bring about change in SouthAfrica. It seems they are doing all thisin preparation for the 70th anniversary ofthe ANC which takes place on January8, 1982.AUGUST 9-They Threw off theirShawlsAugust 9, 1981 marks the 25th anniversaryof the 20,000 strong women's march onPretoria in 1956. This day signifies theheight of the struggle of our women andtheir courage, dedication and massparticipation in the struggle for nationalliberation. In the words of the late President-General of the ANC, A J. Lutuli this day is:"... one of the most important land-marks in our Freedom Struggle calendar.On this day the women

Venkataraman President of India Namedia Foundation STERLING PUBLISHERS PRIVATE LIMITED New Delhi, 1990 [NOTE: A revised and expanded edition of this book was published in South Africa in 1991 jointly by Madiba Publishers, Durban, and UWC Historical and Cultural Centre, Bellville. The South African edition was edited by Prof. Fatima Meer. The present version includes items additional to that in the two printed editions.] FOREWORD TO THE INDIAN EDITION The South African struggle against apartheid occupies a cherished place in our hearts. This is not just because the Father of our Nation commenced his political career in South Africa and forged the instrument of Satyagraha in that country but because successive generations of Indians settled in South Africa have continued the resistance to racial oppression. Hailing from different parts of the Indian sub- continent and professing the different faiths of India, they have offered consistent solidarity and participation in the heroic fight of the people of South Africa for liberation. Among these brave Indians, the name of Dr. Yusuf Mohamed Dadoo is specially remembered for his remarkable achievements in bringing together the Indian community of South Africa with the African majority, in the latter's struggle against racism. Dr. Dadoo met Gandhiji in India and was in correspondence with him during a decisive phase of the struggle in South Africa. And Dr. Dadoo later became an esteemed colleague of the outstanding South African leader, Nelson Mandela.

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 truth implicit in this statement which in 1984. angered Afrikaners was that those who support apartheid could not continue to regard themselves as Christians.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.
