  • Inauguration Ceremony for the Mayor for Umtshezi Municipality at the Town Hall, Estcourt, on 29 October 2004 at 14H00
    1 Speech delivered by Health MEC and Leader of Government Business, Dr Zweli Mkhize at the Inauguration Ceremony for the Mayor for UMtshezi Municipality at the Town Hall, Estcourt, on 29 October 2004 at 14H00. Today is indeed a great day for the people of Estcourt. Today’s inauguration marks the beginning of a new dawn for the communities of Estcourt... We hope the new beginning brings with it closure to a most unpleasant episode in the politics of this area. It is the hope of many people that today’s event marks the beginning of an era in which service delivery, and not self serving, will be paramount in the minds of all the leaders of this area. One has watched with sadness the recent events unfolding in this Municipality, events which culminated with the tragic death of Councillor Stanley Chetty. One had hoped that our country, and our province in particular, had long gone past the tradition of killing people if they do something we do not like, if they belong to a political party that we do not like, but from the events of the past few weeks it would appear that it is not so. I can say right now that this is unacceptable and that it is a situation that we will not tolerate as the government of this province. The right of freedom of association is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. Section 18 states that everyone has the right to freedom of association. Section 19 (1) of the Bill of Rights further states that: Every citizen is free to make political choices, which include the right a.

  • Anti·Apartheid
    FREE anti·apartheid iACTION! October 1985 BAY AREA FREE SOUTH AFRICA MOVEMENT No.4 BAFSAM Opposes Trade With Apartheid On October 8, the Bay Area Free South Africa Movement (BAFSAM) met with the Oakland Port Commission to demand that the Port of Oakland forbid the handling of both incoming and outgoing trade with South Africa. The struggle to get the Port Commis­ sioners to agree to this demand is part and parcel of an international call to break all diplomatic, economic and cul­ tural ties with the apartheid (racially­ segregated) regime. The call for breaking these ties with South Africa has been made by the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) and other black trade unions. It has been endorsed by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the World Fed­ eration of.Trade Unions (WFTU) and the International Labor Organization of the United Nations (!LO). Given that the United States is South Africa's number one trading partner, the BAFSAM has always stressed the importance of cutting off trade relations with the South African regime. the BAFSAM joins with the workers and community activists of New Orleans, Vancouver, B.C., Los Angeles, Tacoma, and Vancouver in Washington state, and picket line at the Oakland offices of the SAM, along with representatives from San Francisco who have refused to Pacific Maritime Association, and mon­ 20 other community organizations and unload or have delayed unloading itored and picketed other incoming trade unions, attended the West Coast South African car_go. ofteh risking vio­ ships laden with South African goods.

  • Remembering the Estcourt – Weenen Line 1906
    REMEMBERING THE ESTCOURT – WEENEN LINE 1906 – 1983 Bruno Martin Published by the RAILWAY HISTORY SOCIETY, an interest group of the Railway Society of Southern Africa (Natal Branch) Founded 1960 “Travelling on this little train of the thorn country is a real experience. It is certainly the only train in the world which gives the right of way to pythons. The inoffensive reptiles are common in the surrounding bush and the train always does its best to stop and allow them to cross the line. Numerous rock rabbits and various antelopes also have their homes along the track.” - TV Bulpin, Treasure of Travels Series, 5: Johannesburg to Durban, 1973. NGG13 no. 78 about to leave Weenen for Estcourt on 3 March 1979, with Driver Billy Bester in discussion. Photo: Don Baker More than a quarter of a century has passed since the narrow-gauge railway between Estcourt and Weenen was closed. The last revenue-earning service departed unceremoniously from Weenen station on Wednesday afternoon, 31 August 1983. On Monday, 5 September, the remaining goods wagons were retrieved from Weenen and the very last working was for weed spraying on Saturday, 5 October.

  • The Matola Raid 2
    THE MATOLA RAID 2. The people The human toll The Matola Raid caused the deaths of some 20 people. Thirteen ANC cadres were killed or mortally wounded. Five other cadres were abducted, and at least one was subjected to prolonged torture, then executed. For the cadres’ families, uncertainty and grief were compounded by Apartheid state prohibitions on attending the funeral in Maputo. A Portuguese citizen – an electrical engineer helping Mozambique’s power supply agency – drove accidentally into one of the raiders’ roadblocks, and was shot dead. ________________ The fate of the abductees The raiders abducted four ANC cadres: Selby Vuyani Mavuso, Thibe Ntsekang, Albert Mahutso and David Thobela. During post-Apartheid South Africa’s Truth & Reconciliation hearings, Mavuso’s fate was revealed. After continually refusing to succumb to interrogation, he had been handed over to the notorious “Vlakplaas” unit, tortured, and killed. Ntsekang is also believed to have been sent to “Vlakplaas” where he became an “askari” – an informant for the apartheid regime. Mahutso survived and is believed to have died in August 2013. Nothing is known of his life after his abduction in 1981. Thobela resurfaced in Mozambique some years after the raid. The circumstances of his release were mysterious, and his former comrades dissociated themselves from him. While many believed that ANC cadre Collin Khumalo was also abducted during the Matola Raid, recent evidence shows that he was in fact captured by the Security Police at Bhunye police station in Swaziland in 1984, and not at Matola in 1981. _________ Profiling the deceased cadres Some of the ANC cadres who died in the Matola Raid were charismatic leaders, whose deeds and personalities are on historical record.
