  • MAATSKAPPY, STATE, and EMPIRE: a PRO-BOER REVISION Joseph R
    MAATSKAPPY, STATE, AND EMPIRE: A PRO-BOER REVISION Joseph R. Stromberg* As we approach the centennial of the Second Anglo–Boer War (Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, or “Second War for Freedom”), reassessment of the South African experience seems in order. Whether the recent surrender by Afrikaner political leaders of their “central theme” and the dismantling of their grandiose Apartheid state will lead to heaven on earth (as some of the Soweto “comrades” expected), or even to a merely tolerable multiracial polity, remains in doubt. Historians have tended to look for the origins of South Africa’s “very strange society” in the interaction of various peoples and political forces on a rapidly changing frontier, especially in the 19th century. APPROACHES TO SOUTH AFRICAN FRONTIER HISTORY At least two major schools of interpretation developed around these issues. The first, Cape Liberals, viewed the frontier Boers largely as rustic ruffians who abused the natives and disrupted or- derly economic progress only to be restrained, at last, by humani- tarian and legalistic British paternalists. Afrikaner excesses, therefore, were the proximate cause and justification of the Boer War and the consolidation of British power over a united South Africa. The “imperial factor” on this view was liberal and pro- gressive in intent if not in outcome. The opposing school were essentially Afrikaner nationalists who viewed the Boers as a uniquely religious people thrust into a dangerous environment where they necessarily resorted to force to overcome hostile African tribes and periodic British harassment. The two traditions largely agreed on the centrality of the frontier, but differed radically on the villains and heroes.1 Beginning in the 1960s and ’70s, a third position was heard, that of younger “South Africanists” driven to distraction (and some *Joseph R.

It rests on the foot of the massive Devil’s Peak; not far from there lies the imposing Cape of Good Hope, a crossroads of two oceans. Accordingly, the university’s Latin motto is Bona Spes. With its neo- classic architecture, the university has the atmosphere of an enclave of British academic tradition in Africa. The first courses opened in 1874; since then, the UCT has produced five Nobel prizes and it forms, along with other well-established South African universities, one of the most productive research centers in the continent. I was sent there in 2009, in order to research on the history of South African audiovisual media, sponsored by Fapesp (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo).

    Demystifying the Muslimah: changing subjectivities, civic engagement and public participation of Muslim women in contemporary South Africa Fatima Asmal A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Sciences (Masters) in the Programme of Historical Studies, School of Social Sciences, College of Humanities, University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2015 1 I, Fatima Asmal (941300984), hereby declare that this is my own work and that all sources that I have used have been acknowledged and referenced. No part of the dissertation has been submitted for any other degree. Any views expressed in the dissertation are those of the author and are in no way representative of those of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The dissertation has not been presented to any other University for examination, either in the Republic of South Africa, or overseas. Signature: Date: 2 ABSTRACT Demystifying the Muslimah: changing subjectivities, civic engagement and public participation of Muslim women in contemporary South Africa This study interrogates the validity of generalisations about Muslim women. While Islam is undoubtedly important in the lives of most practising Muslim women, rather than regarding their actions and behaviours as governed by Islamic law, the study seeks to historicise their experiences through a life history approach of five women engaged in the civic life of their communities (however widely this may be defined) and in public participation in various ways. Using oral history as a methodology, it investigates what drew these women to civic participation; the nature of their participation in terms of the organisations they are members of and the activities they are involved in; the stimulus for civic engagement and public participation and their achievements in this regard as well as the impact of participation on their identities and subjectivities.

  • MEDIA RELEASE PSA Calls for Decisive Actions by Newly-Appointed Ministers
    MEDIA RELEASE PSA calls for decisive actions by newly-appointed Ministers DATE 31 May 2019 EMBARGO None ENQUIRIES [email protected] The Public Servants Association (PSA) welcomes the appointments of Cabinet Ministers by President Cyril Ramaphosa, sworn in at the Union Buildings on 30 May 2019. The non-politically affiliated Union, representing over 240 000 public-sector workers, is looking forward to progressive engagements with the leadership for a better Public Service. The Union, however, raised concerns about the operations of several key departments and indicated that it will engage with the relevant Ministers. The Department of Public Service and Administration is key to the well-being of the Public Service. The relationship between labour and the Ministry was starting to take positive form and with the appointment of Mr Senzo Mchunu as the new Minister, the PSA is looking forwards to building on the progress. The PSA is the majority Union at the Department of Home Affairs, another key department in service delivery. The PSA has experienced a hostile approach from the Department’s leadership in the past, which led to cases being heard in the Constitutional Court where the PSA was victorious in advancing workers’ rights. The PSA will be engaging with the new Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, to address outstanding matters. Health and safety continue to be a major issue in many government buildings with many not meeting the requirements of Occupational Health and Safety Act and posing danger to employees and the public. The PSA is an advocate for safe working conditions and unfortunately the employer has not been forthcoming in resolving the issues, regardless of judgements that found it guilty of not following procedure.

  • Looking in New Ways at Frontiers for Literary Journalism
    194 Literary Journalism Studies, Vol. 11, No. 2, December 2019 Looking in New Ways at Frontiers for Literary Journalism At the Faultline: Writing White in South African Literary Journalism by Claire Scott. Pietermaritzburg: University of KwaZulu-Natal Press, 2018. Paperback, 208 pp., USD$27. Reviewed by Lesley Cowling, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa he study of nonfiction writing in its variety of Tforms has not had an established disciplinary home in South Africa and, indeed, the very definition of what is being studied, where, is still open to discussion. As other writers in this journal have noted repeatedly over the last decade, English literature departments in many countries have studied fiction, poetry, and theater, with nonfiction rarely given the nod. This has been true of South African universities too, where, as Leon de Kock wrote in South Africa in the Global Imaginary in 2004, literature departments until the late 1970s had been “smugly Anglophile and dismissive of the ‘local’ ” (6). Journalism programs, a potential disciplinary home for literary journalism, have tended to focus on preparing students for work in the media sector. With South Africa having so few platforms for literary and longform journalism, little attention has been given to these forms beyond feature writing and magazine courses. Nonfiction writing must necessarily find its way into the academy through other disciplines. It has done so through African literature, history, library sciences, and the more recently emerging creative writing programs. It is also being ushered into local scholarship via the particular research interests of individual scholars. Thus, although South Africa historically has had a rich set of writers of literary nonfiction, some of whom have been internationally recognized, their study is fragmented over academic disciplines.
