  • Music and Militarisation During the Period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus
    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.

  • Namibia: Sooth Africa’S ’Total Strategy’ for Domination and Exploitation
    NAMIBIA: SOOTH AFRICA’S ’TOTAL STRATEGY’ FOR DOMINATION AND EXPLOITATION By Peter Manning and Reginald Herbold Green #Y •j' The future of South West Africa is inextricably linked to that of South Africa. Nothing except war can alter this association between South West Africa and South Africa. - Prime Minister Jan Smuts The people of the territory will have to get independence sooner or later. This political momentum has been set in motion. u, - Foreign Minister Pik Botha We do not believe in a system that sells people. - Namibian Strike Leader It must be borne in mind that the Namibian pel^ple are shedding blood to liberate each and every inch Of the Namibian soil, thus each and every inch of the Namibian land must and will belong to the Namibian people. - SWAPO President Sam Nujoma NAMI3IA IN THE ’TOTAL STRATEGY’ The iirst two quotations do not- as it might seem - represent a change of basic goals or strategy but merely one of form. South Africa's determination 1/0 and profit from dominating Namibia and to use it as a base for dominating (and/or destabilising) its neighbours remains basically unchanged. * * * ■ • * - 2- 'Independence' for Namibia to South Africa means something akin to the 'independence' of the Bantustans. Therefore Pik Botha’s 1979 statement is no more compatible with the goals of Namibia's people enunciated in the second pair of quotations than was Prime Minster Smuts’ 194? declaration precisely because SA sees no contradiction between them and, therefore, the Namibian people see a continued denial, not a grudging acceptance, of their rights and aspirations in the evolution of South Africa's Namibia politik.
