  • The African National Congress Centenary: a Long and Difficult Journey
    The African National Congress centenary: a long and difficult journey RAYMOND SUTTNER* The current political pre-eminence of the African National Congress in South Africa was not inevitable. The ANC was often overshadowed by other organiza- tions and there were moments in its history when it nearly collapsed. Sometimes it was ‘more of an onlooker than an active participant in events’.$ It came into being, as the South African Native National Congress (SANNC)," in $&$", at a time of realignment within both the white and the conquered black communities. In the aftermath of their victory over the Boers in the South African War ($(&&-$&#"), the British were anxious to set about reconciling their former enemies to British rule. This included allowing former Boer territories to continue denying franchise and other rights to Africans, thus disappointing the hopes raised by British under- takings to the black population during the war years. For Africans, this ‘betrayal’ signified that extension of the Cape franchise, which at that time did not discrimi- nate on racial grounds, to the rest of South Africa was unlikely. Indeed, when the Act of Union of $&$# transferred sovereignty to the white population even the Cape franchise was open to elimination through constitutional change—and in course of time it was indeed abolished. The rise of the ANC in context From the onset of white settlement of Africa in $*/", but with particular intensity in the nineteenth century, land was seized and African chiefdoms crushed one by one as they sought to retain their autonomy. The conquests helped address the demand for African labour both by white farmers and, after the discovery of diamonds and gold in $(*% and $((* respectively, by the mining industry.' * I am indebted to Christopher Saunders and Peter Limb for valuable comments, and to Albert Grundlingh and Sandra Swart for insightful discussions.

  • The Legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli's Christian-Centred Political
    Faith and politics in the context of struggle: the legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli’s Christian-centred political leadership Simangaliso Kumalo Ministry, Education & Governance Programme, School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Abstract Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, a Zulu Inkosi and former President-General of the African National Congress (ANC) and a lay-preacher in the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) is a significant figure as he represents the last generation of ANC presidents who were opposed to violence in their execution of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. He attributed his opposition to violence to his Christian faith and theology. As a result he is remembered as a peace-maker, a reputation that earned him the honour of being the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Also central to Luthuli’s leadership of the ANC and his people at Groutville was democratic values of leadership where the voices of people mattered including those of the youth and women and his teaching on non-violence, much of which is shaped by his Christian faith and theology. This article seeks to examine Luthuli’s legacy as a leader who used peaceful means not only to resist apartheid but also to execute his duties both in the party and the community. The study is a contribution to the struggle of maintaining peace in the political sphere in South Africa which is marked by inter and intra party violence. The aim is to examine Luthuli’s legacy for lessons that can be used in a democratic South Africa.

It has been accepted for inclusion in History Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.

Diaries and Notebooks . 40 IV. Miscellaneous. 41 V. Additions . 42 Index to Titles. 44 Nadine Gordimer was born in Springs, South Africa in 1923. At age 11 she began her writing career and was first published in the children's section of the Johannesburg Sunday Express in 1947. Since then she has written a number of novels. Excerpts of these, in addition to her countless short stories and articles, have appeared in magazines and newspapers worldwide. Many of her works reflect the political and social dilemmas of living under apartheid in South Africa and consequently, several of her books were banned in that country. Among her numerous awards are the Booker Prize for Fiction (1974), Modern Language Association of America award (1982), and the Premio Malaparte prize (1987). In 1991 Gordimer's entire body of work was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was a four-time winner of the CNA Award sponsored by the Central News Agency, a book/stationery company in South Africa. She has been decorated Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (France) and has received honorary degrees from such institutions as Harvard and Yale universities. Apart from her many achievements in writing, Gordimer has been visiting professor and lecturer at several American universities. She is a founder and executive member of the Congress of South African Writers and has encouraged and supported new writers, especially young African authors and poets.

  • A Renoster, a Foundation and a Market: the Cultural Import of Three
    A Renoster, a Foundation and a Market: the cultural import of three Johannesburg figures between 1960 - 1990 Johannesburg, that city which purportedly rose from the veld, was about one hundred years old when it was fortunate, in the midst of the intensities of major capital development at the height of apartheid’s imposition and the fierce revolt against that, to have in its midst numbers of extraordinarily creative people in the fields of photography, music, the plastic arts, literature and the theatre. Of these, particular attention is given here to three: Lionel Abrahams, Bill Ainslie and Barney Simon. These figures are not offered here as emblematic or representative of the wide surge among cultural practitioners whose stance at that time was at profound odds with Michael Gardiner the disintegrative forces of apartheid and capitalism. But despite being male, white has retired from a varied and middle-class, the three asserted, for those who wished to participate in the career in education to arts, alternatives to the dominant bourgeois and nationalistic cultural values that explore his interest in the characterised the formal activities in the city of Johannesburg. arts by writing a book about the contributions Because major political and other movements that were opposed to state policies of Lionel Abrahams, Bill had been prohibited, the churches and cultural formations carried the burden of Ainslie and Barney Simon articulating the dreams, hopes and fears of the broad mass of South Africans from to the cultural life of early 1960s onwards. The fusion, therefore, between the arts in general and the Johannesburg between political was inevitable and should be understood in that light.

    May 22, 2014 By Martin Brady Acclaimed director Peter Brook talks about The Suit, playing this week at OZ Billed as "a destination for innovative contemporary art experiences," OZ Nashville has not disappointed in its inaugural season. The alternative venue — a renovated cigar warehouse — offers high-style ambience and hosts performances and installations across all artistic disciplines. OZ's first presentation for the garden-variety theatergoer, The Suit, debuts this week, though there's very little that's ordinary about the piece, which is concluding an ambitious two-year international tour in Music City. The Suit has been acclaimed across the globe, and has received raves from critics in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Based on the late South African writer Can Themba's powerful novella, the play centers on Philomen, a middle-class black lawyer in apartheid-era South Africa who catches his wife, Matilda, having an affair. In haste, her lover leaves behind his clothes, and as her punishment, Philemon makes Matilda treat her lover's suit as an honored houseguest, even to the point of including it at the dinner table or taking it out for walks. Making this singular event even more noteworthy, it's under the direction of Peter Brook, a world giant of theatrical innovation. "First of all, in the thousands of plays and novels about marital betrayal, you'll find something amazing, but The Suit presents a new situation that happens with a different combination of ingredients," says Brook, speaking by phone from Paris, where he creates for the stage under the aegis of his company, Thèâtre des Bouffes du Nord.
