  • Malibongwe Let Us Praise the Women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn
    Malibongwe Let us praise the women Portraits by Gisele Wulfsohn In 1990, inspired by major political changes in our country, I decided to embark on a long-term photographic project – black and white portraits of some of the South African women who had contributed to this process. In a country previously dominated by men in power, it seemed to me that the tireless dedication and hard work of our mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters needed to be highlighted. I did not only want to include more visible women, but also those who silently worked so hard to make it possible for change to happen. Due to lack of funding and time constraints, including raising my twin boys and more recently being diagnosed with cancer, the portraits have been taken intermittently. Many of the women photographed in exile have now returned to South Africa and a few have passed on. While the project is not yet complete, this selection of mainly high profile women represents a history and inspiration to us all. These were not only tireless activists, but daughters, mothers, wives and friends. Gisele Wulfsohn 2006 ADELAIDE TAMBO 1929 – 2007 Adelaide Frances Tsukudu was born in 1929. She was 10 years old when she had her first brush with apartheid and politics. A police officer in Top Location in Vereenigng had been killed. Adelaide’s 82-year-old grandfather was amongst those arrested. As the men were led to the town square, the old man collapsed. Adelaide sat with him until he came round and witnessed the young policeman calling her beloved grandfather “boy”.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

  • MAY 2021 NEWSLETTER MURDER in PARIS Is a Political Crime Thriller That Traces the Motives for the Assassination of Anti-Apartheid Activist, Dulcie September
    MAY 2021 NEWSLETTER MURDER IN PARIS is a political crime thriller that traces the motives for the assassination of anti-Apartheid activist, Dulcie September. The story travels from the heart of Paris in March 1988 to the pursuit of justice in 2021. Murder in Paris to screen at Encounters South African International Documentary Festival Following on from its hugely successful virtual festival in 2020 — a year that will surely go down as one of cinematic history’s most challenging — the Encounters South African International Documentary Festival will once again be coming to screens ‘virtually everywhere’ for its 2021 edition. From 10th - 20th June, audiences will see 10 days of inspiring films, webinars, debates and Q&A’s, and meet directors locally and from around the globe. Standouts from this year’s exciting programme of South African films include a fascinating and little-known narrative of a unique and inspiring figure in our history. Murder in Paris, directed by Enver Samuel, is a political crime thriller that traces the motives for the assassination of anti-Apartheid activist, Dulcie September. The story travels from the heart of Paris in March 1988 to the pursuit of justice in 2021. This forensic documentary chronicles activist and investigative journalist Evelyn Groenink’s 30-year-long quest to get to the bottom of the murder of Dulcie September, the then Chief Representative of the African National Congress in France. The film traces the motives for September’s assassination while shedding some light on the actual course of the events, which seem to have more to do with the Apartheid regime’s close ties to the French weapons industry than with neutralising an ANC cadre.

  • Life and Times of Nelson Mandela the Attorney
    February 2014 Special Feature Life and times of Nelson Mandela the attorney The late Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela will not only be remembered for his outstanding contribution in liberating South Africa but also for his involvement in shaping our legal jurisprudence. His interest in the legal field was influenced by cases that came before the Chief's Courts and the fact that his father was the principal councillor to the Acting Paramount Chief of Thembuland. During 1951, after Mandela completed his articles of clerkship as a candidate attorney at Witkin, Sidelsky and Eidelman and though he was not yet a fully-fledged attorney he was able to draw court pleadings, and consult with clients. He was determined to become a lawyer. He passed his attorney's admission examination and was subsequently conferred the relevant certificate during February 1952, which was constituted under the then provisions of sub-section (1) of s23 of Act 12 of 1916. On March 27 1952, within the jurisdiction of the then Transvaal Provincial Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa (now high court) and before Justice Steyn, Mr Mandela was admit- ted as an attorney and his name was accordingly enrolled as such. He proceeded to work for the law firm Terblanche & Briggish. Mandela often visited his close friend Oliver Tambo during his lunch hour at a law firm called Kovalsky and Tuch, and made a point of sitting in a “white's only chair" in the “whites' only waiting room." Apart from their political involvement in the ranks of student politics at Fort Hare University, Mandela was inspired by the art of legal philosophy as well as the jurisprudential knowledge that Tambo possessed.

We claim full and equal participation in the creation of a non- sexist, non-racist democratic society. We cannot march on one leg or clap with one hand.
