Rusty Bernstein 57 Lock Crescent Kidlington Kidlington Oxford 0X5 1HF Dear Rusty Memory against Forgetting is a compelling account of your memories. Mine coincide in many respects with yours , but I believe that there are gaps and inaccuracies in your story, particularly as it relates to me. So I am sending you a copy of the memoir which I wrote in May/June 1964 while the events of Rivonia were still vivid in my mind. 1 have not published this, but I have lodged it in the Mayibuye Centre and the Bram Fischer Library. I cannot comment on what you write about my parents (p.44), because they never confided in me about these matters. They were able to play the role in later years which you rightly acknowledge by maintaining strict secrecy. I do not understand what purpose is now served by making these disclosures . ( Incidentally. Alex did not “inherit”- he worked as factory manager for the company founded by my mother’s father and resigned in 1948 when he became an MP- and there is an unfair innuendo that he worked in the Labour Party rather than the CP because of some personal ambition to play a leadership role.) With best wishes to you and Hilda, Yours ever. 57 Lock Crescent, Kidlington. 0X5 1HF 25. 05. 00 Professor B.A. Hepple, The Master's Lodge,, Clare College, Cambridge. CB2 1TL Dear Bob, Thank you for your letter, and for your own memoir of the events at and around Rivonfa. As you say, they agree In most respects with my own much later memories. I cannot see that any purpose would now be served - forty years after - in arguing over what differences there are, unless those differences can substantially alter the reading of the historical record. I doubt if any do. But I must say that it appears to me to be a distortion of history that your account makes no reference to the Communist Party, which was so central to the happenings at Rivonia and to your own part in them. I assume that your account - written in 1964 - was circumscribed by codes of "secrecy" and "security" which we imposed on ourselves at that time, but which are now surely inappropriate in serious historical writings. I am not sure what "disclosures" about your parents puzzle you. I can only think that you refer to my "disclosure" that, at one time, they were both members of the Party. That fact is not in question, though it was almost never voiced at the time - again for reasons of politics and "security". You may be distressed that it has now been voiced. But I think it is one of the many secrets of the^ast which are germane to a South African understanding of its own history. So/any years beyond the time when it can possibly affect you, your parents or the movement adversely, I would ask Primo Levi's question: "If not now, when?" You are wrong to suggest an innuendo that Alex' decision to continue in the Labour Party rather than the CP was for reason of a personal ambition for a "leadership role". He took a considered and principled reckoning of the best contribution he could make to our cause. I approved and supported his decision, although I took a different view of the right direction in my own case. I had a high regard for both your parents, which has remained with me since those times.

  • 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”.

  • Helen Joseph's
    Foreword: Helen Joseph’s – If this be Treason – by Benjamin Trisk I was unaware of Helen Joseph’s memoir of the Treason Trial (1956 – 1961) until I came across a letter to I.A. Maisels QC (Isie), who was my father-in-law. I was helping him tidy up some old papers around 1991 or 1992 (he died at the end of 1994) and I found a hand-written letter among his papers. It was addressed to him in an unknown hand and dated 22nd February 1961. A facsimile of the letter is included in this book. Among the signatories to the letter was Helen Joseph.She was one of the activists who was detained and charged with others in December 1956. Between December 5 and December 12, 1956, 156 people were arrested. The charge was High Treason. In those days, there was first a preparatory examination (which concluded in January 1958) and 92 of the 156 were then committed for trial. The others were free to go. The Treason Trial, as it is known, commenced in August 1958. This was known as the First Indictment and the State quickly realized, as a brilliant Defence team first dissected and then destroyed the State’s argument that it would have to withdraw the charges- which it did in October 1958. The State, however, was not giving up and the trial commenced again in January 1959 (the Second Indictment) with a further reduction in the number of the accused. 30 of the original 156 then faced charges from High Treason. Until the time when I found the letter, I had known very little about the Treason Trial.

  • Anti-Apartheid Movement Social Movements Are Rarely Born in Isolation, and the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) in South Africa Is No Different
    Anti-Apartheid Movement Social movements are rarely born in isolation, and the anti-apartheid movement (AAM) in South Africa is no different. The AAM grew out of ongoing resistance movements and the efforts of many within South Africa and the international community to end racial inequality and the oppressive policies of enforced racial segregation in South Africa known as apartheid. Resistance to long-standing racial inequality in South Africa was evident before the beginning of the 20th century. Organized resistance began with groups such as the Natal Indian Congress, African churches, labor and trade unions, the African National Congress (ANC), and the Communist Party. Subsequent organizations such as the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), founded in 1959 by Robert Sobukwe, the South African Student's Organization (SASO), founded in 1969 by Stephen Biko, and the United Democratic Front, founded in 1983 proved instrumental in ending apartheid. Early forms of resistance were primarily peaceful, including mass demonstrations, civil disobedience, boycotts, and strikes. These strategies, employed by various groups in an effort to achieve social justice and to bring an end to the oppressive white South African government, never quieted. However, as a result of ongoing racial segregation, subsequent generations of African leaders determined that violent measures were necessary in order to gain freedom. The 1940s witnessed a number of important events that became crucial for the AAM, both in South Africa and abroad. Within South Africa, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, and Oliver Tambo formed a youth league within the ANC to develop new strategies of resistance. Around the same time, the ever-growing oppression was forcing growing numbers of South Africans into exile in London.

RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

I feel a little sense of unreality being asked to give this lecture in her honour, because as a young activist I was often in the audiences when she spoke and when I came back from the exile in 1987, I was privilege to actually meet her the second day after I came back in 1990. This weekend, in the University of KwaZulu-Natal, as it‟s now known, there was a commemoration of 9 activists, from Durban, who were brutally murdered, 21 years ago, by Eugene de Kock and the Vlakplaas Unit. The third force unit that some of you might remember. One of the people that we commemorated was one of my closest friends and comrades, somebody called Lenny Naidoo. The last conversation I had with Lenny Naidoo as we both went into exile, he asked me a question. “What is the biggest contribution that anyone of us can make to the course of humanity?” and I said, “that‟s an easy question, its giving your life. He said “you mean, going participating in a demonstration, getting shot and killed perhaps, and becoming a martyr.” And I said “I guess so”. He said that‟s the wrong answer.

  • These Are the New Street Names That Represent All Racial Groups, Genders and Political Spectrums, Including Afrikaner Religious
    These are the new street names that represent all racial groups, genders and political spectrums, including Afrikaner religious leaders and academics that played an important role in the country's liberation struggle. According to the Executive Mayor, Cllr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, the street name changes were necessary to ensure racial harmony and cohesion in the city. Nelson (Madiba) Mandela (1918 - ) Nelson Mandela is one of the most famous political leaders in the world. He was born in Qunu, near Umtata in the Eastern Cape and is a qualified lawyer. He was the first democratically elected South African president, serving from 1994 to 1999. Before his presidency, Mandela was a militant anti-apartheid activist and the leader and co-founder of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In 1962, he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, for treason, by the apartheid government but was released in February 1990 after serving 27 years. Professor Johan Heyns (1928 – 1994) Johan Heyns was an influential Afrikaner Calvinist theologian and moderator of the general synod of the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK). He was assassinated at his home in Waterkloof Ridge in 1994. His death drew shock and outrage from all moderates in South Africa, including Nelson Mandela. Heyns was instrumental in the 1986 NGK decision to abandon its support for apartheid and brand it a sin. Although his murder was never officially solved, it is widely believed that it was directly related to his criticism of apartheid. Nelson Mandela paid homage to him as a martyr for his country and a soldier of peace.
