  • A Comparative Study of Zimbabwe and South Africa
    FACEBOOK, YOUTH AND POLITICAL ACTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES, RHODES UNIVERSITY by Admire Mare September 2015 ABSTRACT This comparative multi-sited study examines how, why and when politically engaged youths in distinctive national and social movement contexts use Facebook to facilitate political activism. As part of the research objectives, this study is concerned with investigating how and why youth activists in Zimbabwe and South Africa use the popular corporate social network site for political purposes. The study explores the discursive interactions and micro- politics of participation which plays out on selected Facebook groups and pages. It also examines the extent to which the selected Facebook pages and groups can be considered as alternative spaces for political activism. It also documents and analyses the various kinds of political discourses (described here as digital hidden transcripts) which are circulated by Zimbabwean and South African youth activists on Facebook fan pages and groups. Methodologically, this study adopts a predominantly qualitative research design although it also draws on quantitative data in terms of levels of interaction on Facebook groups and pages. Consequently, this study engages in data triangulation which allows me to make sense of how and why politically engaged youths from a range of six social movements in Zimbabwe and South Africa use Facebook for political action. In terms of data collection techniques, the study deploys social media ethnography (online participant observation), qualitative content analysis and in-depth interviews.

    BLURRED LINES: HOW SOUTH AFRICA’S INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM HAS CHANGED WITH A NEW DEMOCRACY AND EVOLVING COMMUNICATION TOOLS Zoe Schaver The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Media and Journalism Advised by: __________________________ Chris Roush __________________________ Paul O’Connor __________________________ Jock Lauterer BLURRED LINES 1 ABSTRACT South Africa’s developing democracy, along with globalization and advances in technology, have created a confusing and chaotic environment for the country’s journalists. This research paper provides an overview of the history of the South African press, particularly the “alternative” press, since the early 1900s until 1994, when democracy came to South Africa. Through an in-depth analysis of the African National Congress’s relationship with the press, the commercialization of the press and new developments in technology and news accessibility over the past two decades, the paper goes on to argue that while journalists have been distracted by heated debates within the media and the government about press freedom, and while South African media companies have aggressively cut costs and focused on urban areas, the South African press has lost touch with ordinary South Africans — especially historically disadvantaged South Africans, who are still struggling and who most need representation in news coverage.

  • 2001 Lecture
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society.

  • Transforming the Intelligence Services:Some Reflections on the South
    TRANSFORMING THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES: SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN EXPERIENCE Sandy Africa and Siyabulela Mlombile I. Introduction Obviously, every country that works to reform its intelligence services is best placed to decide on the mechanisms and structures that are best suited for its needs. In recent years, South Africa's intelligence apparatus has gone through a tremendous transformation, and we will share some of our South African experiences in managing the transition from a repressive and racist security agenda to a new dispensation informed by democratic principles. We intend to stress those areas that we think were critical for success and which may be relevant to similar transitions in other countries. Our paper will present the following: • an overview of the repressive conditions of the apartheid era and the security doctrine that prevailed at that time • the process of political negotiations and its influence on the country’s security agenda • principles underlying the new intelligence dispensation • the role of the country’s new intelligence structures • organizational challenges in transforming the intelligence structures • key points to note for a transformation agenda II. Our Previous Climate: A Climate of Repression Democracy in South Africa was preceded by decades of political and economic domination by a white minority whose rule was bolstered by their security forces. The country’s leading liberation movements had been outlawed in 1961 and forced into exile from where they continued to wage an armed struggle. The 1980’s were characterized by heightened repression. Legally sanctioned hit squads conducted repeated assaults on neighboring countries, ostensibly in pursuit of guerillas of the South African liberation movement.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings
    Black Peril, White Fear – Representations of Violence and Race in South Africa’s English Press, 1976-2002, and Their Influence on Public Opinion Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Christine Ullmann Institut für Völkerkunde Universität zu Köln Köln, Mai 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented here is the result of years of research, writing, re-writing and editing. It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.

  • Weerstand Teen Huisvesting Van Swart Studente Deur Die Potchefstroomse Universiteit Vir CHO, 1987 Tot 1990 N.S
    Weerstand teen huisvesting van swart studente deur die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir CHO, 1987 tot 1990 N.S. (Fanie) Jansen van Rensburg N.S. (Fanie) Jansen van Rensburg, Fokusarea vir Sosiale Transformasie, Noordwes-Universiteit (Potchefstroomkampus) Opsomming Die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys (hierna PU, of die universiteit) het in 1984 swart studente tot na-uurse studie toegelaat en in 1988 was daar ’n vraag of sommige van hierdie studente se prestasies, wat nie na verwagting was nie, daarmee verband gehou het dat hulle nie in die koshuise op die kampus kon woon nie. Toe swart studente later ook voltyds by hierdie instelling kon studeer, was daar aansienlike druk van binne en buite die universiteit, van individue en instansies (soos Jeugkrag-Potchefstroom en die Senaat), wat wou sien dat daar oopstelling van koshuise vir swart studente kom. Die algemene kritiek van hierdie voorstanders vir oopstelling was gemik teen die diskriminerende aard en uitgediendheid van die segregasiepraktyke op die kampus, veral as in ag geneem word dat die instelling ’n uitgesproke Christelike karakter gehad het. Die Raad het egter in sy proses van besluitneming vae argumente aangevoer in sy weiering van oopstelling. Die Bestuur van die universiteit het die Raad pligsgetrou bygestaan deur met vaaghede, ontkennings en verplasings van betekenis die aksie van die voorkoming van die oopstelling aan die gang te hou. Die Raad het nie net geweier om bestaande koshuise oop te stel nie, maar het ook later met teësin alternatiewe planne beraam. Daarom het die universiteit baie laat in die geskiedenis van die oopstelling van koshuise op Suid-Afrikaanse kampusse bloot vermeld dat koshuise wel vir alle “bevolkingsgroepe” oop is, terwyl hulle toe weer eens verwys het na wat die “karakter” van die universiteit is, net soos by sy vroeëre weiering tot oopstelling.

  • Prague Papers on International Relations
    Divided union: South African nationalist opposition from 1939 to 1943 Mikuláš Touška1 ABSTRACT South Africa’s participation in World War II was accompanied by a specific and, to some extent, par- adoxical development. The declaration of war on Germany alongside Great Britain and other domin- ions was preceded by a government crisis that resulted in the collapse of Hertzog’s cabinet. The new coalition government led by Hertzog’s long-time political rival Jan Smuts had to face strong nation- alist opposition. This opposition supported by Nazi Germany was extensive but fragmented, causing it to be defeated in the 1943 elections. However, this defeat led to a paradoxical result. The ultra-con- servative and fiercely anti-British politician D.F. Malan became the undisputed leader of the oppo- sition and capitalized on his position to clinch an electoral victory in 1948. The goal of this paper is to identify the reasons for this paradoxical development based on the analysis of both the activities of various opposition groups and personal animosities among their leaders. The analysis is based on the existing literature as well as on archival materials, in particular the reports of South African counterintelligence. KEYWORDS Union of South Africa, Second World War, United Party, National Party, Afrikaner Party, James Barry Munnik Hertzog, Jan Christiaan Smuts, Daniel François Malan. “WHITE UNITY” The period after 1910 until the mid-30s in the Union’s political development is char- acterized by Afrikaners’ rising influence. Although English-speaking white South Africans represented about 40 percent of the Union’s white population, their impact on politics gradually declined as they focused mainly on the economy.2 It should be noted that there was no “British” political party on the South African political scene that might have constituted an adequate rival to the Afrikaner nationalists.
