  • Does Black Theology Have a Role to Play in The
    Prof. R.T.H. Dolamo Department of DOES BLACK THEOLOGY Philosophy, Practical and Systematic HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY Theology, University of South Africa. IN THE DEMOCRATIC [email protected] SOUTH AFRICA? DOI: http://dx.doi. ABSTRACT org/10.4314/actat. v36i1.4S Black theology was conceived in South Africa in the mid-1960s and flourished from the 1970s, when White ISSN 1015-8758 (Print) supremacy perpetuated by the apartheid state was at its ISSN 2309-9089 (Online) zenith. The struggle against apartheid was aimed mainly at Acta Theologica 2016 attaining national political liberation so much so that other Suppl 24:43-61 forms of freedom, albeit implied and included indirectly in the liberation agenda, were not regarded as immediate © UV/UFS priorities. Yet two decades into our democracy, poverty, racism, gender injustice, patriarchy, xenophobia, bad governance, environmental degradation, and so on need to be prophetically addressed with equal seriousness and simultaneously, for none of these issues can be left for some time in the future. Using Black Consciousness as a handmaid, Black theology can meaningfully play a role in the democratic South Africa. 1. INTRODUCTION According to Motlhabi (2009:173), Black Theology in South Africa (BTSA) needs to develop a new paradigm urgently: a paradigm that will address itself to the multiple present-day problems and evils such as ongoing poverty, slum-dwelling, crime, family violence, and child abuse, HIV/AIDS, corruption and greed in public and private service, and other related evils still bedevilling South Africa today. Prior to 1994, South African liberation movements had their eyes fixed almost exclusively on national political liberation.

  • South Africa's Elections
    South Africa’s elections: no change? Standard Note: SN05983 Last updated: 15 May 2014 Author: Jon Lunn Section International Affairs and Defence Section On 7 May 2014, South Africa held its fifth national and provincial elections since the end of Apartheid. The four best performing parties in the 400-seat National Assembly elections were as follows: Share Seats Party of vote AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS 62.15% 249 DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE 22.23% 89 ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS 6.35% 25 INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY 2.40% 10 The remaining 27 seats were shared amongst nine parties each of which gained less than 2%. The ruling ANC won all the provincial elections with the exception of the Western Cape, where the DA retained power. So were the elections a case of no change? Yes and no. The ANC’s political dominance remains unchallenged. Its overall share of the vote in 2014 was down 3.75% on 2009. But this seems a small drop in support given the relatively poor ratings given by some commentators to President Jacob Zuma, who is now set for a second term in office, for his performance over the past five years. The centre-right DA added 7.57% to its vote as compared with last time around. It improved its political position without transforming it. The Inkatha Freedom Party continued its gradual political decline, losing 2.15%. Last but not least, the EFF, which is largely composed of ex- ANC radicals, largely supplanted the Congress of the People, also the creation of disillusioned ANC members, which scored 7.42% in 2009 but then subsequently imploded.

  • Mont Fleur Scenarios
    T he story of South Africas transition in 1994 to a non-racial democracy has been told many times, principally from the perspective of the political forces for change. But many other factors were at work, over many years, BREAKING THE MOULD which influenced not only the political outcome but also the economic philosophy of the new ANC government. This pioneering study explores one such set of factors, viz the ideas generated by three quite different privately initiated but publicly disseminated scenario exercises undertaken in the period 1985-1992. In doing so, and in locating the scenarios within the turbulent context of the times, it offers fresh and compelling insights into the transition as well as into the fierce contestation over political and economic ideas, which continues to the present day. The book goes beyond this. It draws on South Africas unusually rich experience of scenario work to illuminate the circumstances in which the method can be fruitfully used as well as the key factors that must be taken into account in designing, conducting and communicating the projects output. And it points to the pitfalls if these matters are not properly addressed. Nick Segal has had a varied career. He has held senior positions in the World Bank in Washington DC and in a major consultancy in the City of London and was the founder of SQW, an economic development and public policy consultancy headquartered in Cambridge, England. In South Africa he has been a director of mining companies (and served as the president of the Chamber of Mines) and dean/director of the Graduate School of Business NICK SEGAL at the University of Cape Town, and is currently an extraordinary professor at the Gordon Institute of Business Science of the University of Pretoria.

Despite a degree of discontent, the ANC remained firmly in power, receiving 62.15 per cent of the vote. Frustration about non-delivery of services, autocratic tendencies within the ruling party and widespread corrupt practices did not translate into substantially more votes for opposition parties, except in the Western Cape and Gauteng regions (and a swing vote from COPE to DA in Northern Cape).

Spreelin Macdonald June 2010 © 2010 T. Spreelin MacDonald. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Steve Biko and Black Consciousness in Post-Apartheid South African Poetry by T. SPREELIN MACDONALD has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Marina L. Peterson Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Ghirmai Negash Associate Professor of English Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT MACDONALD, T. SPREELIN, Ph.D., June 2010, Interdisciplinary Arts Steve Biko and Black Consciousness in Post-Apartheid South African Poetry (158 pp.) Directors of Dissertation: Marina L. Peterson and Ghirmai Negash This dissertation rethinks the legacy of the anti-apartheid leader Steve Biko (1946-1977) in terms of his influence upon post-apartheid South African poetry. Comparing Biko’s own writings on Black Consciousness and the poetry of contemporary South African poets, I show that Biko’s ideas have come to underpin a field of post- apartheid poetry that I call “Biko poems.” Two questions guide this investigation. First, what is it about Biko’s legacy that avails itself so potently to poetic elaboration? That is, what does Biko’s articulation of Black Consciousness offer that allows it to be so vigorously engaged within poetry? I address this question in Chapter One, positing that Biko’s early essays, published under the reoccurring title “I Write What I Like,” and under the pen name “Frank Talk,” model a form of performative writing crucial to his subsequent poetic legacy.

Feedback: [email protected] The Life of Steve Bantu Biko by South African History Online This article was published on South African History OnlineSouth African History online (SAHO) is a non-partisan people’s history institution. It was established in June 2000 as a non-profit Section 21 organisation, to address the biased way in which South Africa’s history and heritage, as well as the history and heritage of Africa is represented in educational and cultural institutions. Abstract The article is a biography and tribute to Stephen (Steve) Bantu Biko who although was not alone in forging the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM); was nevertheless its most prominent leader, who with others guided the movement of student discontent into a political force unprecedented in the history of South Africa. Biko and his peers were responding to developments that emerged in the high phase of apartheid, when the Nationalist Party (NP), in power for almost two decades, was restructuring the country to conform to its policies of separate development. The NP went about untangling what little pockets of integration and proximity there were between White, Black, Coloured and Indian South Africans, by creating new residential areas, new parallel institutions such as schools, universities and administrative bodies, and indeed, new ‘countries’, the tribal homelands.
