Title of Thesis SOCIAL DYNAMICS OF A RESISTANCE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE 1980s IN CAPE TOWN by ZUBEIDA VALLIE Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Design in the Faculty of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Supervisor: Irvine Meyer Cape Town July 2014 CPUT copyright information The thesis may not be published either in part (in scholarly, scientific or technical journals), or as a whole (as a monograph), unless permission has been obtained from the University DECLARATION I, Zubeida Vallie, declare that the contents of this thesis represent my own unaided work, and that the thesis has not previously been submitted for academic examination towards any qualification. Furthermore, it represents my own opinions and not necessarily those of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Signed Date ii ABSTRACT This study seeks to contribute to the field of documentary photography by looking at a resistance photographer who documented events during the liberation struggle against Apartheid in the 1980s in Cape Town, South Africa. The research explores the richness, depth and complexity of the reflective knowledge of the phenomenon and develops a sense of understanding of the meanings of the circumstances and social context of the researcher. It considers the thoughts, observations as well as reflections regarding the meanings and interpretations of experience as a photographer in the 1980s. The perspective of the research is to understand through the photographer’s memory the phenomenon of interest in the exhibition Martyrs, Saints & Sell-Outs and in so doing argue for a consideration of the lives of those who not only lived during Apartheid but continue to do so after its demise. In addition to thinking about questions of photographic representation, the study also addresses ideas of space, and unarticulated injuries and trauma. The photograph is well suited as a medium through which one may think about these difficult questions, for in its very inception, the medium is one of simultaneous absence and presence. The study concludes with recommendations for future investigation in the documentary photography narrative in Cape Town, South Africa. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS . I would like to express my deepest appreciation of my supervisor, Irvine Meyer. This thesis would not have been possible without his patience, encouragement and guidance. Thanks to the Dean of the Faculty of Informatics and Design, Prof Johannes Cronje, and the Head of the Media Department, Prof Nirvana Bechan, for their continual commitment to lifelong learning. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Siona O’ Connell, curator of Martyrs, Saints & Sell-Outs, without whose persistence and invaluable suggestions this thesis would not have materialised. I am particularly grateful for the generous support and assistance given by my colleagues and students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I wish to thank Gustav Swart for his comments as the language editor. A special thanks to the resistance participants… then and now. Finally, I would like to show my greatest appreciation of my family and friends who have been greatly tolerant and supportive in my long, reflective journey through memory and the photographic archive. iv DEDICATION To the unsung heroes men, women and children in Cape Town who struggled against Apartheid. v TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION

TRANSFORMATION 15 (1991) ARTICLE \ EDUCATION, POLITICS AND ORGANISATION THE EDUCATIONAL TRADITIONS AND LEGACIES OF THE NON-EUROPEAN UNITY MOVEMENT, 1943-1986* Linda Chisholm The political culture of the.Western Cape, so any writer or visitor to the city of Cape Town and beyond will attest, is distinctive from that characterising the rest of the country. Wherever one stands on the organised political spectrum, it is distinc- tive for its combativeness, its intellectual assertiveness, and its critical disposition. Of course not all Western Cape activists or trade unionists are combative, or display critically enquiring minds. Nor are these qualities always an indisputable 'good'. Nonetheless, whatever the reservations and qualifications, it can be said that the political style of the Western Cape is distinctive. And it is remarkable. Sufficiently remarkable that it ought to be written about. The reasons for this distinctive character are of course complex and varied. Amongst these the political style and traditions established by the Non-European Unity Movement which grew out of the Anti-Coloured Affairs Department (Anti- CAD) campaign of the early 1940s must be included. It must be stressed that this is not the only, or even most significant political movement in the Western Cape; nor does it account for traditions that may have developed in the African townships.

Telling stories to a different beat: Photojournalism as a “Way of Life” Naomi Verity Busst, BPhoto, MJ A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Media and Communication Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Bond University February 2012 Abstract This thesis presents a grounded theory of how photojournalism is a way of life. Some photojournalists dedicate themselves to telling other people's stories, documenting history and finding alternative ways to disseminate their work to audiences. Many self-fund their projects, not just for the love of the tradition, but also because they feel a sense of responsibility to tell stories that are at times outside the mainstream media’s focus. Some do this through necessity. While most photojournalism research has focused on photographers who are employed by media organisations, little, if any, has been undertaken concerning photojournalists who are freelancers.

In their move to peripheral situations, photographers dignify the culture-making of ordinary folk. The persons in the photographer’s gaze are frequently those caught in the shock waves of hostilities (Guy Tillim), affl icted by a dread epidemic (Kim Lubdrook), or exposed to a diff use 7 3, pp. (2007), No. Vol.14 condition of endangerment, like violent criminality (David Southwood). Photographers are themselves in a way fatally endangered from afar and their attempts to visualise what is out of frame can be seen as a form of self-defence and passionate search in a bid to come to terms with trouble. The essay probes the post-apartheid state of documentary photography and its current directions. 7 The Great Traditions In the year 2000 a young photographer called David Southwood held an exhibi- tion that to some would have looked rott en with fi n de siècle decadence. It featured an assortment of men and women in whom fl ickers of Southwood’s manner and morphology could be glimpsed, and was entitled, “People Who Other People Think Look Like Me.” Coming ten years aft er Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, and six years aft er South Africa’s landmark elections in 1994, the exhibition could be taken to epitomise the liberated, post-political sensibilities that fl ourished as the country shed its pariah status in the world at large and self-congratulatingly be- gan reinventing itself as a new and improved Rainbow Nation.

They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work – two won Pulitzers during the period – but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth. 2 ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Written and directed by Steven Silver, The Bang Bang Club is a Canada/South Africa co-production from producer Daniel Iron of Foundry Films Inc.
