University of Cape Town i SOUTH WEST AFRICA/NAMIBIA ISSUES RELATED TO POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE This dissertation constitutes a study of all issues rele- vant to South West Africa/Namibian independence, from 1915 to June 1983. The method employed is primarily of a descrip- tive, histcirical and analytical nature, which brings together in a concise study a variety of primary research materials, particularly with extensive use of newspaper resources. Due to the limited available material on South West Africa/ Namibia, it was necessary to rely upon these journalistic sources to a large extent. It was, therefore, necessary to assume that: • 1. newspaper references are correct and valid, and that articles by relevant authorities and political figures are a true expression of the writers' political beliefs; 2. that in terms of books, journals and other published materials in relation to South West Africa/Namibia, the facts have been accurately researched and verified, and 3.

  • Hans Beukes, Long Road to Liberation. an Exiled Namibian
    Journal of Namibian Studies, 23 (2018): 101 – 123 ISSN: 2197-5523 (online) Thinking and writing liberation politics – a review article of: Hans Beukes, Long Road to Liberation . An Exiled Namibian Activist’s Perspective André du Pisani* Abstract Thinking and Writing Liberation Politics is a review article of: Hans Beukes, Long Road to Liberation. An Exiled Namibian Activist’s Perspective; with an introduction by Professor Mburumba Kerina, Johannesburg, Porcupine Press, 2014. 376 pages, appendices, photographs, index of names. ISBN: 978-1-920609-71-9. The article argues that Long Road to Liberation , being a rich, diverse, uneven memoir of an exiled Namibian activist, offers a sobering and critical account of the limits of liberation politics, of the legacies of a protracted struggle to bring Namibia to independence and of the imprint the struggle left on the political terrain of the independent state. But, it remains the perspective of an individual activist, who on account of his personal experiences and long absence from the country of his birth, at times, paints a fairly superficial picture of many internal events in the country. The protracted diplomatic-, political- and liberation struggle that culminated in the independence of Namibia in March 1990, has attracted a crop of publications written from different perspectives. This has produced many competing narratives. It would be fair to say that many of the books published over the last decade or so, differ in their range, quality and usefulness to researchers and the reading public at large. This observation also holds for memoirs, a genre of writing that is most demanding, for it requires brutal honesty, the ability to truthfully recall and engage with events that can traverse several decades.

  • Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom?
    Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom? Edited by Henning Melber NORDISKA AFRIKAINSTITUTET, UPPSALA 2007 Cover: The restored steam tractor outside the coastal town of Swakop- mund was made in Germany and brought to the country in 1896. It should replace ox wagons as a means of transport in the further colonization of Namibia’s interior. The 2.8 tons heavy machine in need of lots of water never managed it through the sands of the Namib desert. The local colonizers named it after the German reformer Martin Luther, who in 1521 had declared: “Here I stand – may God help me. I can not otherwise.” Today a national monument and put behind glass, Namibia’s “Martin Luther” remains an early symbol for the failure of grand visions.

  • 1965-1988 Prof Peter Hitjitevi Katjavivi: 1941
    Katjavivi, PH PA 1 THE KATJAVIVI COLLECTION: 1965-1988 PROF PETER HITJITEVI KATJAVIVI: 1941 - Historical Background Professor Peter Katjavivi was born on 12 May 1941 in Okahandja, Namibia. He travelled into exile in 1966 and was part of the Dar es Salaam exiles that helped transform SWAPO into an international force in the struggle for the liberation of Namibia. Until 1979 he was a fulltime SWAPO activist running the London office and holding the movement’s Information and Publicity post. From the 1980s, he pursued his academic career which saw him gaining a Master’s degree in 1980 from the University of Warwick, UK and a Doctor of Philosophy in1986 from St Anthony’s College, University of Oxford. In 1989, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly and served as National Assembly member until 1991. In 1992 he was named the first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Namibia, a post he held for eleven years. He was appointed as Professor in History by the UNAM Academic Council Staff Appointments Committee in 1994. He was given a diplomatic posting in 2003. Peter Katjavivi has also been very active as SWAPO’s documenter of the liberation struggle. His book, ‘A History of Resistance in Namibia’ (James Currey, 1988) is still widely referred to in academic works on recent Namibian history. Currently, he is the Director-General of the National Planning Commission. THE COLLECTION Summary The collection, covering the period 1965 to 1988 (but also holding some documents from as far back as 1915) consists mainly of SWAPO documents on activities in and outside Namibia during the time for the struggle for the liberation of Namibia (See summary of classes below).

PROGRAMMENTWÜRFE' Wirtschaftspolitik I Sozialer Liberalismus SWA/Namibia vor der Klaus von der Ropp Unabhängigkeit? 1. DAS VERÄNDERTE KRÄFTESPIEL Schwerpunkt So sehr sich internationale Organisationen wie die Organisation A ustralafrika für Afrikanische Einheit (OAU) und, in jüngerer Zeit weitgehend in ihrem Gefolge, auch die Vereinten Nationen (UN) seit ihrer Grün- dung mit Problemen Australafrikas beschäftigt haben, so niedrig rangierten diese noch bis vor kurzem auf den Prioritätsskalen der bei- den Weltmädıte. Die Reise des damaligen Vorsitzenden des Präsi- diums des Obersten Sowjets, Nicolaj Podgorny, im Frühjahr 1970 in drei der ››Frontstaaten« und die mehrtägigen, australafrikanischen Themen gewidmeten Verhandlungen, die der amerikanische Vize- präsident W. Mondale und der südafrikanische Ministerpräsident J. B. Vorster im Frühjahr 1977 in Wien führten, zeigen, wie sehr sich die Szene gewandelt hat. Stehen doch beide Ereignisse für eine Fülle diplomatischer Initiativen beider Weltmächte, in deren Rahmen auch andere Staaten, darunter nicht zuletzt die BR Deutschland und ihre europäischen Partner, eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Angesichts des be- sonderen, u. a. in der Konvention von Lamé sich manifestierenden euro-afrikanischen Verhältnisses berühren die jüngeren Entwicklungen die Interessen der EG-Staaten sogar in besonderem Maße. Weit mehr als die Zukunft des südafrikanischen Subkontinents scheint heute auf dem Spiel zu stehen. Denn auch der kurze Krieg in der zairischen Südprovinz Shaba (Ex-Katanga) und die erstmals vorrangige Diskus- sion sicherheitspolitischer Themen auf der vierten Franko-Afrikani- schen Gipfelkonferenz im April 1977 in Dakar sind Folgen des neuen Kräftespiels im südlichen Afrika.
