These include Gavin Williams, Liz Frazer and Terence Ranger at Oxford, Ade Peace at the University of Adelaide, Robert Miles of Glasgow University and Nicholas Van Hear of Oxford University. As for the money and time for writing my thesis, I am indebted to the Economic and Social Science Research Council in the United Kingdom, the Cathie Fund in Australia, Balliol College, Oxford, the Flinders University of South Australia and the Oppenheimer Institute at the University of Cape Town. I greatly value the help of two people, Hilda Bernstein and Imruh Bakari , who were generous enough to allow me to use the unedited transcripts of interviews that they had under­ taken with South African exiles. The transcripts that Hilda Bernstein created for her book, The Rift, are now housed in the library ofthe University ofthe Western Cape. They constitute a remarkable collection and deserve more attention than I have been able to give them. Imruh Bakari of Ceddo Productions kindly offered me transcripts of both his film, Blue Notes and Exiled lfJia s, and interviews done in conjunction with the film. Again, AntheaJosias very kindly provided me with access to the unedited transcripts of interviews done by Wolfie Kodesh for the Mayibuye Centre at the University of the Western Cape.I would like to thank the British Home Office, the South African Central Statistics Office, David Owen at Warwick University, and the librarians at every library that helped me (in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and South Africa). Of course, the research would have been of little merit without the help and time of many South Africans who agreed to talk to me and relate their stories. I hope that they felt that their effort was worthwhile and that I have repre­ sented their accounts fairly.

Thanks also to Deborah Hersh and those who asked me not to reveal their names. I have made every effort to trace all interviewees so that they might check the information contained in the completed manuscript. I apologize to those people that I was unable to contact and hope that what I have written does not cause them any embarrassment. My initial interest in the sociology of migration was stimu­ lated by my parents. They too have moved enough times in their lives to have a rich appreciation ofthe pleasures and pains of migration. Their unflagging enthusiasm for and genuine interest in what I was writing was an important part of keeping me going. I hope that, at the very least, I now understand a lit­ tle more about what they and their generation went through.

  • Malibongwe Let Us Praise the Women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn
    Malibongwe Let us praise the women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn In 1990, inspired by major political changes in our country, I decided to embark on a long-term photographic project – black and white portraits of some of the South African women who had contributed to this process. In a country previously dominated by men in power, it seemed to me that the tireless dedication and hard work of our mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters needed to be highlighted. I did not only want to include more visible women, but also those who silently worked so hard to make it possible for change to happen. Due to lack of funding and time constraints, including raising my twin boys and more recently being diagnosed with cancer, the portraits have been taken intermittently. Many of the women photographed in exile have now returned to South Africa and a few have passed on. While the project is not yet complete, this selection of mainly high profile women represents a history and inspiration to us all. These were not only tireless activists, but daughters, mothers, wives and friends. Gisele Wulfsohn 2006 ADELAIDE TAMBO 1929 – 2007 Adelaide Frances Tsukudu was born in 1929. She was 10 years old when she had her first brush with apartheid and politics. A police officer in Top Location in Vereenigng had been killed. Adelaide’s 82-year-old grandfather was amongst those arrested. As the men were led to the town square, the old man collapsed. Adelaide sat with him until he came round and witnessed the young policeman calling her beloved grandfather “boy”.

    GRAHAMSTOWN Jan 5 Sapa THREE OF DE KOCK'S CO-ACCUSED TO CHALLENGE TRC DECISION Three former security branch policemen plan to challenge the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's decision to refuse them and seven of their former colleagues, including Eugene de Kock, amnesty for the 1989 murder of four policemen. De Kock, Daniel Snyman, Nicholaas Janse Van Rensburg, Gerhardus Lotz, Jacobus Kok, Wybrand Du Toit, Nicolaas Vermeulen, Marthinus Ras and Gideon Nieuwoudt admitted responsibility for the massive car bomb which claimed the lives of Warrant Officer Mbalala Mgoduka, Sergeant Amos Faku, Sergeant Desmond Mpipa and an Askari named Xolile Shepherd Sekati. The four men died when a bomb hidden in the police car they were travelling in was detonated in a deserted area in Motherwell, Port Elizabeth, late at night in December 1989. Lawyer for Nieuwoudt, Lotz and Van Rensburg, Francois van der Merwe said he would shortly give notice to the TRC of their intention to take on review the decision to refuse the nine men amnesty. He said the judgment would be taken on review in its entirety, and if it was overturned by the court, the TRC would once again have to apply its mind to the matter in respect of all nine applicants. The applicants had been "unfairly treated", he said and the judges had failed to properly apply their mind to the matter. The amnesty decision was split, with Acting Judge Denzil Potgieter and Judge Bernard Ngoepe finding in the majority decision that the nine men did not qualify for amnesty as the act was not associated with a political objective and was not directed against members of the ANC or other liberation movements.
