Ÿþm Icrosoft W Annual Report Annual Report 1985 / The flame of resistance to apartheid burned brightly in 1985. Hundreds of thousands of people-young and old, workers, teachers, priests and students-took to the streets, organized strikes and boycotts, and defied state violence and repression by using the funerals of protesters killed by the security forces to rally yet greater opposition. The South African government, mouthing empty promises of reform, struck back viciously. Over 200 children and many more hundreds of adult protesters were killed by police and soldiers; thousands of men, women and children were detained without trial; and the toll of mysterious deaths of popular leaders rose ominously. The Botha government's determination to maintain domination throughout southern Africa carried violence into neighboring countries, wreaking terrible damage in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia and Lesotho, among others. While the people on the ground in southern Africa continue to bear the brunt of the struggle for freedom, they have also called on the US to impose sanctions on apartheid in support of their demand for liberation. To bring this urgent appeal to the people of America, The Africa Fund greatly expanded its public education campaign in the US. hool for Namibia refugees in Angola. Empowering Americans to Act Against Apartheid The Africa Fund is the prime source of information on southern Africa and US policy. As Americans became aware of the evils of apartheid it was natural that they turn to The Africa Fund for the information they needed to build effective actions throughout the country: We provided the information that enabled the divestment movement to make 1985 a record year. By year's end, states and cities were committed to withdrawing over $5 billion from corporations whose investments in South Africa subsidize the brutality of apartheid. In virtually every hearing on a city or state divestment action, witness after witness incorporated large chunks of information from Africa Fund publications into their testimony. Legislators and divestment activists phoned us continually for the latest information and advice on strategy and tactics. We were central to the development of nationwide campus concern about apartheid in 1985. We kept key student organizers on several hundred campuses in touch with the latest developments in South Africa and with one another We provided them with the resources they needed to mobilize dramatic actions, helping to arouse the national conscience to the need for action against apartheid. We alerted religious, labor and community leaders to the worst abuses of human rights in South Africa and Namibia. The protests generated by these alerts can make the difference between prison and freedom, or even life and death, for a political prisoner. Executive Secretary Jennifer Davis appeared on Question Air a live call-in oroaram on PBS affiliate WTIU in Indiana. * Through the media we reached millions of Americans with the truth about apartheid. Africa Fund staff members appeared on the network news programs, MTV, PBS and many local TV and radio news programs. We were regularly quoted in newspapers throughout the country, including The New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today Africa Fund publications are extensively used wherever Americans are working for African freedom. Local groups, especially church and community organizations, constantly call for permission to reproduce materials for mass circulation. We distributed over 75,000 copies of Africa Fund publications in 1985. In 1985, The Africa Fund produced four new publications: * Economic Action Against South Africa, a report on the impact of the US divestment campaign on South Africa and a review of the financial consequences of divestment. * Voices For Withdrawal, a compilation of quotations from South African and world leaders presenting the case for an end to investment in apartheid, * 1984 in South Africa: The Illusion of Reform, The Reality of Resistance. The South African regime claims it is abolishing apartheid. This analysis by Africa Fund Executive Secretary Jennifer Davis shows that in reality, it is increasing repression in an attempt to crush the growing freedom movement. * Unified List of US Companies with Investments or Loans in South Africa and Namibia. The most comprehensive list ever published of US corporations in South Africa. Over a thousand copies were sold in the first weeks after publication. The Research Center All our research and education work is made possible by our research center, the most extensive source in America of information on southern Africa and US policy. The resources have been compiled through years of monitoring African, European and American publications and through an extensive network of personal contacts. Every year hundreds of scholars and researchers come to our office to make use of the research center. PROJECTS Coretta Scott King, Little Steven, Julian Bond, and Varnell Johnson (Manhattan Records) at a press conference hosted by Mayor Andrew Young in Atlanta. Sun City The "Sun City" record and video are bringing a vivid picture of the brutality of apartheid to a whole new audience, From Bruce Springsteen to Miles Davis to Pat Benatar, fifty-four of the world's leading popular musicians joined Little Steven to sing out strongly against apartheid, The Africa Fund has been closely involved with this exciting project. The Africa Fund: " Briefed the artists on Sun City, the casino center in a South African bantustan where American entertainers perform for million-dollar contracts. * Organized a congressional tribute to the Sun City musicians on Capitol Hill with Senator Bill Bradley and Representatives William Gray and Walter Fauntroy. " Research Director, Stephanie Urdang, did the narration on the Sun City video. " Provided a special informational insert on apartheid and Sun City which is included with every album, " Published a curriculum guide for using "Sun City" in the classroom. Through The Africa Fund, the artists are donating all their royalties to the struggle against apartheid. The funds will be used to support the families of South African political prisoners, for educational and cultural projects of South Africans who have been driven into exile, and for educating Americans about apartheid. In December, Coretta Scott King, a founder of The Africa Fund Advisory Committee, accepted the first $50,000 royalty check from the artists on behalf of The Africa Fund. Refugee Aid Over $69,000 of Africa Fund resources went to assist people who have been driven from their homes by the violence of the South African military and police. In 1985, The Africa Fund provided textbooks and clothing for Namibian refugees in Angola. We helped the African National Congress (ANC) with its refugee program, especially the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College which is equipping young people to play a constructive role in building a free South Africa, The Africa Fund sent 5,000 mathematics textbooks to Namibian refugees, At the specific request of SWAPO of Namibia, the liberation movement which administers the refugee programs for the United Nations, we also sent children's toys, women's underwear, children's shirts and medical journals. 70 Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College. Africa Fund contributions enabled the ANC to expand the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College-a high school, elementary school, nursery school and day-care center, all together on land donated by the Tanzanian government. These contributions provided medicines and bandages for the clinic and textbooks for the classrooms, and helped develop an irrigation project so the College can grow its own food. The Africa Fund is also one of the only organizations that helps African refugees in the US survive a temporary emergency Our modest grants help prevent evictions, enable people to stay in school and pay for badly needed medical treatment. Special Projects The Africa Fund supported several special projects, including aid to South African artists studying in the US, public education on apartheid for trade unionists, education on health in South Africa, and a student internship program to assist over 20 college students from all parts of the US to work with The Fund. M EMBERSHIP AND FUNDRIAISING The Africa Fund depends on individual contributors to carry out its work. Hundreds of new contributors joined regular supporters in 1985 in response to appeals, progress reports and the annual report. GENEAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE A complete financial statement is produced by an independent accounting firm and is available to all who request it. Reports are also produced for the federal government and several state and non-profit monitoring groups. A financial supplement for New York residents is available from the New York Department of State, Charities Registration, Albany, NY 11231.

  • SOLOMON MAHLANGU FREEDOM COLLEGE: a Unique South African Educational Experience in Tanzania
    ARTICLE SOLOMON MAHLANGU FREEDOM COLLEGE: A Unique South African Educational Experience In Tanzania Pethu Serote Introduction On the 9th July 1992, the African National Congress (ANC) handed over its educational institutions in Tanzania to the Tanzanian goverment in a ceremony officiated over by OR Tambo for the ANC and President Hassan Mwinyi for the Tanzanian government. In this article, I'd like to look briefly at these ANC educa- tional projects in Morogoro, Tanzania. My focus will be broadly their nature and the problems that impacted on their development in the ten years between 1979-1989. I would like to acknowledge the limitations of a study of this nature in such a short presentation. These events were taking place in Tanzania and most of the documen- tation needed to make the study complete is in the process of being transferred to South Africa and this has in some way limited it to whatever documents are available to the author in South Africa and to her personal experiences as a secondary school teacher and later head of adult education division in SOMAFCO from 1983 and 1990. Although this article is about two educational project of the ANC in Tanzania, Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (SOMAFCO), and the ANC Development Centre, I have chosen SOMAFCO for the title because that was the original project and the name has also become famous in South Africa and abroad. The Establishment of SOMAFCO and the ANC Development Centre SOMAFCO was the ANC school in Morogoro, Tanzania. It was built on a 250ha piece of land in Mazimbu, an old sisal farm which the Tanzanian government gave to the ANC for this purpose.

Mupotsa Introduction In this essay, I reflect on the 2015 and early 2016 student activism at the Uni- versity of the Witwatersrand, in the context of a national movement in South Africa. I am particularly interested in questions of form, narrative and aesthet- ics. Many of the acts of protest have been circulated through digital technolo- gies offering a wide audience access to the events through spectacular images. These events have also been assembled and articulated through specific kinds of form, such as the autobiographical – where students invoke the category ‘I’ to articulate aspects of private life that animate their moves against structural injustices. I read these various animations of ‘the political’ in the same register that I read the novel, A Question of Power by Bessie Head (1974). While I do not offer a close textual reading of the novel, I propose that we read the various scenes of refusal animated by these students through an autobiographical lens that, like Head’s novel, offers us a splintered category of ‘I’ that both demands a politics of recognition while simultaneously refusing and disrupting the pos- sibilities of that very wish. Bessie Head’s (1974) partly autobiographical account stays with me be- cause of the ways a range of spectacular structural injustices are narrativized through a powerful dialogue between the public and the private.

  • 1 Pointing to the Dead: Victims, Martyrs and Public Memory In
    Pointing to the Dead: Victims, Martyrs and Public Memory in South Africa Sabine Marschall Introduction Memorials are never erected for the sake of the dead, who demand our respect. Rather, they are set up by the living for the sake of the living. A memorial constitutes a ‘transitional object’ that facilitates the process of mourning for those immediately affected by the death of their loved ones and allows them to attain a sense of closure. For those in society not directly bereaved, notably later generations, the erection of a memorial in tribute to a departed leader or a select group of deceased establishes and publicly advertises a lasting, visible link with the dead they have chosen to honour. In times of political transition, the public commemoration, especially through lasting memorials, of selected dead heroes, shooting victims or fallen comrades can be a strategic move to legitimate the emergence of a new socio-political order. The recognition of the use value of specific ‘dead bodies’ is part of a larger process of appropriating the past for the political, social, cultural or economic purposes of the present, which many scholars see as a key characteristic of ‘heritage’.1 This political and functionalist perspective is not meant to invalidate the sense of duty to pay tribute to the dead that many individuals and organizations may genuinely experience. It does not discount the emotional contentment that the establishment of a dignified public memorial may evoke especially in those individuals who knew the deceased or were directly affected by their death. It also does not intent to question the role of such memorials in teaching the younger generation and instilling a sense of respect and gratitude for those who lost their lives for the attainment of a better life for all.

  • Fund for a Free South Africa
    FUND FOR A FREE SOUTH AFRICA JANUARY 1988 We are very pleased to send you the first issue of our newsletter. We intend this to be our vehicle to bring you news about the movement for a democratic South Africa, and about our work at the Fund. You may have noticed that we have changed our name from South African Relief. We think that Fund For a Free South Africa (FreeSA) more accurately suggests the broad spectrum and nature of programs we support. It is beyond our means to fully counter the apartheid regime's stringent press censorship, and the popular news media's cursory focus on what is happening in South Africa. However, on a quarterly basis FreeSA will endeavour to give you a peek into com­ munity, labor, women's, youth and.other forces in the struggle for a free South Africa. Our primary purpose is of course to raise support for progressive organizing by the people of South Africa. Our newsletter will apprise our donors of the Fund's grants and will be a vehicle to try to increase the number of donors to the Fund. The focus of our first issue is education. The article on education in South Africa was written by a member of the National Education Crisis Committee. The article on SOMAFCO was written by Nadine Dolby, who is on the staff of the Fund. We have also included an excerpt about the pending restrictions on foreign funding from the Weekly Mail, one of the best news sources from South Africa. This excerpt clearly illustrates the current and potential difficulties of supporting progressive organizations in South Africa.

  • Time Travel on Solomon Mahlangu
    Time Travel on Solomon Mahlangu Goals • Create awareness of the life of Solomon Mahlangu and his contribution to the struggle • Reflect on the importance of human rights, in the 70s and today • Promote the Time Travel method Facts, Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu was born on 10 July 1956 in Doornkoop, Middelburg which was then known as Eastern Transvaal. He was the last born son of Martha Mahlangu’s six children of three girls and three boys. His middle name Kalushi, given by his uncle means ”one who leads boys into manhood’. Solomon Mahlangu attended Mamelodi High School up to Standard 08, but his education was interrupted in 1976 by the Soweto uprisings that resulted in school closure. This fuelled him to join and pursue the struggle. In 1976 he fled to Mozambique and spent six months in a refugee camp near XaiXai. From there he was taken to an ANC training camp called “Engineering” in Angola, where he received training in sabotage, military combat, scouting and politics . After their training at Funda Camp; Solomon Mahlangu and his comrades George Lucky Mahlangu and Mondy Motloung went to Swaziland where they crossed the border into South Africa heavily armed. They made their way to Johannesburg to assist in the student protests. On the 13 June 1977, Solomon Mahlangu and his companions Mondy Motloung and George Lucky Mahlangu, were accosted by police in Goch Street, Joburg. In the gun battle that followed, Lucky Mahlangu escaped, resulting in two civilian men being killed and two wounded. Solomon Mahlangu and Mondy Motloung were incarcerated.

On re-entering South Africa as a militant of Umkhonto we Sizwe, he and a colleague, Mondy Motloung, were captured after a skirmish with the police and several white civilians who were assisting them. Two of the civilians were killed. Although the judge found that Solomon had personally played no direct part in killing them (either by shooting or throwing a hand grenade), he was found guilty of murder through ‘common purpose’ and sentenced to death.

  • REPRODUCING TOXIC ELECTION CAMPAIGNS Negative Campaigning and Race-Based Politics in the Western Cape
    124 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS REPRODUCING TOXIC ELECTION CAMPAIGNS Negative Campaigning and Race-Based Politics in the Western Cape Cherrel Africa Dr Cherrel Africa is Head of the Department of Political Studies at the University of the Western Cape e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2014 election in the Western Cape was once again a high-stakes, fiercely-contested affair. Political parties saw the Western Cape as an ‘open race’ and the province became the centre of vigorous campaign efforts in the lead-up to the election. The African National Congress (ANC), which had lost control of the province because its vote share dropped from 45% in 2004 to 32% in 2009, hoped to unseat the Democratic Alliance (DA), which had won in 2009 by a very narrow margin (51%). The ANC felt that it had done enough to regain control of the province, especially in light of deep-seated disillusionment in many communities and the violent protests that took place prior to the election.While the ANC maintained its support base, winning votes from 33% of the provincial electorate, the type of identity-based campaign it pursued combined with other factors to work to the DA’s advantage. Despite the fact that the DA also engaged in race- based campaigning it won 59% of the provincial vote. This was obtained at the expense of small parties, who received negligible support in the 2014 election. Only the Economic Freedom Fighters and the African Christian Democratic Party won enough votes to obtain a seat each in the provincial legislature.
