Ctmt 2004.Pdf A MESSAGEFROM THE CHIEF OF DEFENCERESERVES lnjust over a yearthe Cape Town N,lilitary Tattoo, following its modestbut successful birth in November 2003,has begun to growinto an eventwhich could become an iconicannual event for theMother City in tutureyears, to thebenefit not only of theSouth African National Defence Force - whichis an integralpart of thepeople it serves- but also of thelocal community, whose welfare is inextricably tied in with the growth of theCape's tourism flow. Themain theme of thisyear's tattoo is "10 Years of Democracy".Tothis end the tattoo features an act called "Unityin Diversity",whose title deliberately echoes our national motto, because it has been carelully designed to knittogether several segments of ourvery broad and diverse combined military heritage in a waywhich hasnever been done before anywhere in SouthAfrica. Theeyes of thetattoo committee remain fixed on the goal of mountinga multi-layeredtattoo. The basic layeris an evocation of theunique Cape military and cultural heritage. The second layer would showcase actsfrom the rest of SouthAfrica, and the third and broadest layer would feature acts from our neighbouring states.Africa - includingSouth Africa - is almostvirgin territory as far asthe world's great tattoos are concerned,and the organizers of theCape Town l,4ilitary Tattoo aims to changethat by showing what we cando inthis part of theglobe. Thisis not a pie-in-the-skyambition, since the "Unity in Diversity"act has already some international interest. Onemight say that the Cape Town Military Tattoo is dedicated to provingthe philosopher Pliny the Elder wascorrect when he remarkedmillennla ago that "thereis alw'ayssomething new out of Africa". Thereis alsoa strongsub-theme to the2004 tattoo. The infantry soldier, who might ride into battle but alwaysfights on foot, has been around since the dawn of ourrecorded history, but it wasonly half a century agothis year that the South African Infantry Corps was lounded and for thefirst time provlded our foot- soldierswith a spiritualand doctrjnal home. So this tattoo also celebrates the InfantrV Corps's score of "50 notout". Aswas the case last year, the 2004 Cape Town Military Tattoo is only possible because so many people have goneout ot theirway to supportit, starting with the Chief of theSouth African National Defence Force and extendingthrough the chiefs of theuniformed services, top staff officers and the Castle Control Board; and, on theground, the full-time and part-time service members who have laboured so mightily tor solonq to design,organize and prepare it, and the corporate and individual civilian well-wishers who have maoe sucn a valuablecontribution.

  • The Role and Application of the Union Defence Force in the Suppression of Internal Unrest, 1912 - 1945
    THE ROLE AND APPLICATION OF THE UNION DEFENCE FORCE IN THE SUPPRESSION OF INTERNAL UNREST, 1912 - 1945 Andries Marius Fokkens Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Military Science (Military History) at the Military Academy, Saldanha, Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Lieutenant Colonel (Prof.) G.E. Visser Co-supervisor: Dr. W.P. Visser Date of Submission: September 2006 ii Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously submitted it, in its entirety or in part, to any university for a degree. Signature:…………………….. Date:………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The use of military force to suppress internal unrest has been an integral part of South African history. The European colonisation of South Africa from 1652 was facilitated by the use of force. Boer commandos and British military regiments and volunteer units enforced the peace in outlying areas and fought against the indigenous population as did other colonial powers such as France in North Africa and Germany in German South West Africa, to name but a few. The period 1912 to 1945 is no exception, but with the difference that military force was used to suppress uprisings of white citizens as well. White industrial workers experienced this military suppression in 1907, 1913, 1914 and 1922 when they went on strike. Job insecurity and wages were the main causes of the strikes and militant actions from the strikers forced the government to use military force when the police failed to maintain law and order.

  • The Militarisation of South African White Society, 1948-1990
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 30, Nr 2, 2000. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za The Militarisation of South African White Society, 1948-1990 McGill Alexander Introduction The extent to which white South Africans were subjected to enforced militarisation, and indeed acquiesced to it, during the secom half of the twentieth century could be seen, at least in part, as contributing to the apparent reluctance of some whites to commit themselves to the democratising process in the country. In this paper the laying of the foundations for militarisation are outlined, the subsequent growth of this militarisation is examined and its possible effect on the transformation currently taking place in South Aliica is indicated. In doing so, the political actions of the National Party are considered, insofar as they succeeded in legislating military obligations on the white populace and utilising the Defence Force as a vehicle to impose the Aliikaner culture on all sectors of white society. This is seen in the context of growing black nationalist resistance and the international isolation of South Africa. The impact on white society of an increasing militaryburden and of direct involvement in repression of black resistance is considered as having a braking effect on the subsequent commitment by some whites to the democratising process in South Africa. The Post-War Ambience in South Africa At the end of the Second World War the white population of South Aliicafound itself in a polarised position which ostensibly was not in the least conducive to militarisation. The wartime supporters of the United Party coalition had come through six harrowing years of the war effort.

    Music and Militarisation during the period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus Martha Susanna de Jongh Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Stephanus Muller Co-supervisor: Professor Ian van der Waag December 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 29 July 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In the absence of literature of the kind, this study addresses the role of music in militarising South African society during the time of the South African Border War (1966-1989). The War on the border between Namibia and Angola took place against the backdrop of the Cold War, during which the apartheid South African government believed that it had to protect the last remnants of Western civilization on the African continent against the communist onslaught. Civilians were made aware of this perceived threat through various civilian and military channels, which included the media, education and the private business sector. The involvement of these civilian sectors in the military resulted in the increasing militarisation of South African society through the blurring of boundaries between the civilian and the military.

JEIIFER DAVIS TO THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON AFRICA OF THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MARCH 22, 1973 Judge Booth: Mr. Chairman, We are here today to challenge the myth of concern for the rights of self-determination being built by the United States government in relation to its role in Southern Africa. It has long been the theme of the United States government that it is in sympathy with the right of self-determination of the black peoples of all Southern Africa, that it abhors apartheid, and th t it does not by its actions strengthen in any way the white minority :cr.ie of Southern Africa. In sipport of that contention, Administration s > :on repeal- ai nauseum the assurance that the U.S. adheres firmly to an .n embargo on all arms or equipment of military significanoe both in relation to South Africa and to Portugal south of the Tropic of Cancer. It is our contention that there is in fact a large gap between stated theory and actual practice in the U.S. role in Southern Africa today, and that by its behaviour on the ground in Africa the U.S.
