Political Violence in the Era of Negotiations and Transition, 1990-1994
Volume TWO Chapter SEVEN Political Violence in the Era of Negotiations and Transition, 1990-1994 I INTRODUCTION 1 The Commission had considerable success in uncovering violations that took place before 1990. This was not true of the 1990s period. Information before the Commission shows that the nature and pattern of political conflict in this later period changed considerably, particularly in its apparent anonymity. A comparatively smaller number of amnesty applications were received for this period. The investigation and research units of the Commission were also faced with some difficulty in dealing with the events of the more recent past. 2 Two factors dominated the period 1990–94. The first was the process of negotiations aimed at democratic constitutional dispensation. The second was a dramatic escalation in levels of violence in the country, with a consequent increase in the number of gross violations of human rights. 3 The period opened with the public announcement of major political reforms by President FW de Klerk on 2 February 1990 – including the unbanning of the ANC, PAC, SACP and fifty-eight other organisations; the release of political prisoners and provision for all exiles to return home. Mr Nelson Mandela was released on 11 February 1990. The other goals were achieved through a series of bilateral negotiations between the government and the ANC, resulting in the Groote Schuur and Pretoria minutes of May and August 1990 respectively. The latter minute was accompanied by the ANC’s announcement that it had suspended its armed struggle. 4 A long period of ‘talks about talks’ followed – primarily between the government, the ANC and Inkatha – culminating in the December 1991 launch of the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA). -

The Cassinga Massacre of Namibian Exiles in 1978 and the Conflicts Between Survivors’ Memories and Testimonies
ENDURING SUFFERING: THE CASSINGA MASSACRE OF NAMIBIAN EXILES IN 1978 AND THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN SURVIVORS’ MEMORIES AND TESTIMONIES BY VILHO AMUKWAYA SHIGWEDHA A Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History University of the Western Cape December 2011 Supervisor: Professor Patricia Hayes ABSTRACT During the peak of apartheid, the South African Defence Force (SADF) killed close to a thousand Namibian exiles at Cassinga in southern Angola. This happened on May 4 1978. In recent years, Namibia commemorates this day, nationwide, in remembrance of those killed and disappeared following the Cassinga attack. During each Cassinga anniversary, survivors are modelled into „living testimonies‟ of the Cassinga massacre. Customarily, at every occasion marking this event, a survivor is delegated to unpack, on behalf of other survivors, „memories of Cassinga‟ so that the inexperienced audience understands what happened on that day. Besides survivors‟ testimonies, edited video footage showing, among others, wrecks in the camp, wounded victims laying in hospital beds, an open mass grave with dead bodies, SADF paratroopers purportedly marching in Cassinga is also screened for the audience to witness the agony of that day. Interestingly, the way such presentations are constructed draw challenging questions. For example, how can the visual and oral presentations of the Cassinga violence epitomize actual memories of the Cassinga massacre? How is it possible that such presentations can generate a sense of remembrance against forgetfulness of those who did not experience that traumatic event? When I interviewed a number of survivors (2007 - 2010), they saw no analogy between testimony (visual or oral) and memory. They argued that memory unlike testimony is personal (solid, inexplicable and indescribable). -
Media Advisory for Immediate Release 02 September 2016
Media Advisory For immediate release 02 September 2016 INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT ADD LUSTRE TO AFRICA’S TOP SHOW – AAD 2016 Africa’s biggest air show returns to Pretoria this month with a variety of spectacular aerobatic displays and some aircraft that have never been seen in South Africa before. The Africa Aerospace and Defence Exhibition – AAD 2016 – is hosted at the Air Force Base Waterkloof and expected to attract more than 100 000 visitors, especially during the open days on 17 and 18 September when the public can visit the event. Organisers promise an action-packed programme that will meet the expectations of aviation enthusiasts as well as other members of the public who want to get a closer look at the latest in global defence technology and weapon systems. The Silver Falcons, the aerobatic team of the SA Air Force will perform at regular intervals over the weekend while the Gripen and Hawk fighter jets will also feature in the 9th edition of the show. The C130J Super Hercules manufactured by Lockheed Martin attracted huge public attention at AAD2014 and will this year be joined by the Boeing KC-135 stratotanker, used for inflight refuelling and the Airbus C295 tactical airlifter on static display. Another American product that can be observed is the MQ-9 Reaper, one of the world’s most advanced unmanned aerial vehicles. An exciting new feature at AAD 2016 will be the participation of other air forces and companies on the African continent who fly aircraft that are not often seen locally. The Zambian Air Force will fly and display the L-15 Falcon lead-in fighter trainers while the Safat03 aircraft manufactured by the Safat Aviation Group in Sudan will also take to the sky. -

South Africa Biological Chronology 2005-2000 | 1999-1996 | 1995-1990 | 1989-1970 | 1969-1936 Last update: May 2010 As of May 2010, this chronology is no longer being updated. For current developments, please see the South Africa Biological Overview. This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance.

The Apartheid Divide
PUNC XI: EYE OF THE STORM 2018 The Apartheid Divide Sponsored by: Presented by: Table of Contents Letter from the Crisis Director Page 2 Letter from the Chair Page 4 Committee History Page 6 Delegate Positions Page 8 Committee Structure Page 11 1 Letter From the Crisis Director Hello, and welcome to The Apartheid Divide! My name is Allison Brown and I will be your Crisis Director for this committee. I am a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in Biochemicals. This is my second time being a Crisis Director, and my fourth time staffing a conference. I have been participating in Model United Nations conferences since high school and have continued doing so ever since I arrived at Penn State. Participating in the Penn State International Affairs and Debate Association has helped to shape my college experience. Even though I am an engineering major, I am passionate about current events, politics, and international relations. This club has allowed me to keep up with my passion, while also keeping with my other passion; biology. I really enjoy being a Crisis Director and I am so excited to do it again! This committee is going to focus on a very serious topic from our world’s past; Apartheid. The members of the Presidents Council during this time were quite the collection of people. It is important during the course of this conference that you remember to be respectful to other delegates (both in and out of character) and to be thoughtful before making decisions or speeches. If you ever feel uncomfortable, please inform myself or the chair, Sneha, and we will address the issue. -

Constitutional Court of South Africa
CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA Case CCT 30/03 THE STATE Applicant versus WOUTER BASSON Respondent Heard on : 4 and 5 November 2003 Decided on : 10 March 2004 JUDGMENT ACKERMANN J, MADALA J, MOKGORO J, MOSENEKE J, NGCOBO J, and O’REGAN J: [1] The state has applied to this Court for special leave to appeal against a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal (the SCA) in terms of rule 20 and, simultaneously, for leave to appeal directly to this Court against a judgment of the High Court in Pretoria (the High Court) in terms of rule 18. The respondent, Dr Wouter Basson, opposes both applications. Background ACKERMANN J et al [2] During 1999, the respondent, an employee of the South African National Defence Force, was charged in the High Court on 67 counts including murder, fraud, conspiracy to commit various crimes and drug offences. All the offences were allegedly committed before 1994 when the respondent worked in a division of the Defence Force called the Civil Co-operation Bureau. [3] During 1997 the accused was arrested, first on charges of contravening the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act, 101 of 1965, and later in the same year on charges of fraud. In relation to both sets of charges, bail hearings were held and the accused was granted bail. In relation to the fraud charges, the bail hearing was held during October and November 1997. The trial on all 67 charges (which now included charges of murder and conspiracy to commit various offences) commenced on 4 October 1999 before Hartzenberg J. -
