  • South Africa
    Safrica Page 1 of 42 Recent Reports Support HRW About HRW Site Map May 1995 Vol. 7, No.3 SOUTH AFRICA THREATS TO A NEW DEMOCRACY Continuing Violence in KwaZulu-Natal INTRODUCTION For the last decade South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal region has been troubled by political violence. This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

  • Mtunzini Conservancy Newsletter December 2015
    Mtunzini Conservancy Newsletter December 2015 https://www.facebook.com/MtunziniConservancy/ Dear Members and Supporters, Many thanks to Jim Chedzey for compiling another lovely newsletter and for all the contributions that make up the 5th edition of the year. As 2015 melts away and 2016 dawns it is with excitement and some trepidation that we welcome the holidays and anticipate what the New Year holds! Most weather models are predicting the continuation of a strong El- Nino episode during the summer season with the expectation for it to start gradually decaying during late autumn and the early winter seasons. Thus the rain that we have recently experienced along the coast and inland towards Hluhluwe- Imfolozi has been most welcome as the continuation of dry conditions towards the mid- and late-summer season is forecast. Let’s all do our bit to conserve water by using it sparingly and installing water collection and recycling systems in our homes and businesses. The Conservancy held its year end function on Friday the 4th December at Twinstreams and it turned out to be a most enjoyable and entertaining evening. Special thanks to Kim and Wayne for sharing your Karoo expedition with us – the presentation was artistic and energetic and we would recommend anyone who would like their photos and videos put into a similar dynamic format contact Kim Steinberg on 0799832641. Many thanks also to our gracious host Steve Untiedt who always make us feel at home – and staff Nomusa and Khululiwe and Nonhlanhla for preparing the salads and Ray, Matthew, Ntokhoza and Kevin for the firewood.

    An Inspired Education EDITION 2 6 │ 22 AUGUST 2018 EDITION 26 │ 22 A UGUST 2018 WEEKLY SCRIPTURE This week in the Foundation Phase the children will learn ab out God being the Light of the W orld. This got me thinking of how the Bible also makes mention of us being the light. The following devotion has been adapted from Proverbs 31 Ministries (written by Holly Gerth) and holds a powerful message. God bless. "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine Sometimes in life you may find yourself being like a light bulb that says, "I have to find a way to shine!" This light bulb may go to a self -help meeting to learn more about its inner capacity for light. It may read books about how to get brighter. Each morning the light bulb may even get up and recite positive affirmations: "I am a light bulb. I believe in myself. I will shine!" But yet, nothing happens. Eventually the light bulb becomes weary and discouraged. It begins to doubt who it is and what it can do. It almost burns out completely. However, what if one day the light bulb was carefully placed in a fixture? Light would burst forth and fill the room. The light bulb would then finally understand. The key was not to try harder but to plug into the source.
