  • 135 Newcontree the Birth of Umkhonto We Sizwe: Old And
    NEWCONTREE 135 THE BIRTH OF UMKHONTO WE SIZWE: OLD AND NEW SOURCES Vladimir Shubin (Institute for African Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences) The history of the South African liberation movement is still to be written. Academic books and articles published so far left too many of its pages blank or contain information which can't withstand a scrutiny. Among the bibliographies on the anti-apartheid struggle Peter Limb's "The ANC and the Black Workers in South Africa, 1912-1992" should be singled out as well as books by Thomas Karis and Gail Gerhart. However, no special bibliography on "Umkhonto we Sizwe" (MK) has been compiled so far except for an introductory bibliography prepared by Sandi Ie Schalk and the author for the Conference on the Beginnings of the Armed Struggle in South Africa convened in December 1995 by the Mayibuye Centre for History and Culture at the University of the Western Cape. Who took a decision and when? The early history of MK is a subject to controversy. The question of when and how the decision was taken is a subject of debate among academics. Naturally nobody knew this better that the participants themselves but even the evidence of those who participated in the events directly is somewhat contradictory. The possibility of using an armed form of struggle was discussed in Congress Alliance and communist circles immediately after the Sharpeville massacre in March 1960 if not before. The mood was growing that under repressive conditions a position of non- violence was becoming more and more irrelevant. Some people even called it treacherous.

  • 'Nelson Mandela's '
    Nelson Mandela’s “Show Trials”: An Analysis of Press Coverage of Mandela’s Court Appearances Martha Evans, Centre for Film and Media Studies UCT Abstract The figure of Nelson Mandela looms large in twentieth-century history. Beloved by celebrities around the globe, critics have noted his unique charisma – referred to as “Madiba magic”– and his ability to enchant audiences. Despite this, there have been few analyses of his construction as a celebrity politician, most likely because of celebrity’s association with frivolity and lack of substance – which sits poorly with our sense of Mandela. There have been particularly few examinations of his portrayal prior to imprisonment, when the seeds of the Mandela myth were sowed. This paper examines some of the early press coverage, focusing on Mandela’s “performances” in court. The paper argues that Mandela, helped by others, had a canny ability to pre- empt reactions to his appearance, and worked hard to direct his own image for political purposes. In addition, while Winnie Mandela’s role in raising awareness of her husband’s fate is well known, the paper shows how, even at this early stage, Mandela’s prominence and machismo depended on her feminine visibility. Mandela’s famed speech from the dock also founded a new moral tradition of protest and set the stage for his resurrection as the symbol of the Anti-Apartheid Movement. Keywords: Nelson Mandela, South African media, celebrity, Rivonia Trial, Anti- Apartheid Movement, show trial, Winnie Mandela “Let us not mislead ourselves – the aim of ‘selling’ the accused to a rather broad overseas public as freedom fighters against an unbearable tyranny succeeded admirably.

  • “Un Bel Atelier Moderne”: the Montparnasse Artist at Home Louise Campbell
    CHAPTER 14 “UN BEl ATElIER MOdERNE”: THE MONTpARNASSE ARTIST AT HOmE Louise Campbell In 1925, an article about studio-houses in the rue Cassini, Montparnasse, concluded: “We hear that there are charming things inside, but respectful of the privacy of these ‘homes’ of artists, we have not spoken of them” (L’Architecture 1925: 436). Such restraint— more typical of an architectural journal than of the popular press—did not last long. By the end of the decade, even specialized journals like L’Architecture were illustrating the interiors of the homes of artists who had commissioned leading architects to work for them. The journal—published by the Société Centrale des Architectes—was until 1927 dominated by reviews of exhibitions, reports of architectural competitions and congresses, analyses of public buildings and town-planning schemes. After that date, L’Architecture grew in size and scope; now supported by the Société des Architectes Diplômés par le Gouvernement and the Association Provinciale des Architectes Français, it included accounts of new buildings alongside historic ones and adopted a more conversational style. Although house interiors were shown devoid of their inhabitants, there was some discussion of the personality and tastes of the clients, rather than simply the architectural character of their homes. By contrast, the drier and more factual journal L’Architecte illustrated few interiors and generally identified clients only by their initials. This informal new tone reflects both the journalistic practices of 1920s and the publicity courted by contemporary artists. It does not merely indicate a dwindling concern for privacy and a merging of the techniques of the mass media with the sober traditions of architectural journalism.

  • Arthur Goldreich 1929 – 2011 an Appreciation by Denis Goldberg
    Arthur Goldreich 1929 – 2011 An appreciation by Denis Goldberg I have read many obituaries on the internet about Arthur Goldreich. Some of what follows is well known, but I have added details that others have not talked about, mostly from personal contact with him. When I met Arthur in May 1963 he appeared to be a well off, handsome, strongly built man in his thirties with a certain self confident swagger. He liked to wear jodhpurs and riding boots with a well fitting tweed jacket and open weave riding gloves with leather palms and fingers, all colour coordinated in shades of brown and tan. He drove what was then a seemingly exotic Citroen DS19 car with an avant garde shape. He was a designer for one of the large department chain stores. He was also a prize winning artist and dressed the part. He had designed and constructed the sets of the hit South African musical King Kong. That was in itself an indicator of his character for it was a theatre piece with story, music and lyrics written by black South Africans about black South Africans at a time of ever deepening apartheid repression. His social contacts were with musicians, artists and performers. He was consciously opposed to the apartheid policies of the time. In part, I believe his opposition was shaped by growing up in Pietersburg (now Polokwane) in the then Northern Transvaal (now Limpopo Province) near to an asbestos mine and his family being of Jewish origin faced open anti-Semitism from the predominantly Afrikaner mining and farming community.

  • Rolling up Rivonia: 1962–1963 GARTH BENNEYWORTH*
    South African Historical Journal, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1080/02582473.2017.1332086 Rolling up Rivonia: 1962–1963 GARTH BENNEYWORTH* Sol Plaatje University; McGregor Museum, Kimberley Abstract Liliesleaf was purchased in 1961 by the South African Communist Party and it functioned as a nerve centre for the liberation movements and key leaders of that era. The significance of Liliesleaf is that this was a place where the transition into a new form of struggle, namely armed struggle occurred, making an icon of that struggle for freedom. Liliesleaf marks a seminal shift in South Africa’s liberation struggle history. On 11 July 1963 the police raided Liliesleaf. Their rolling up of Rivonia in turn culminated in the Rivonia Trial. For the apartheid government this was a coup. For the liberation movement, it represented a blow. Many theories abound as to how the police identified Liliesleaf. This paper presents new information about these complex and myriad historical events. The paper shows that the raid was the culmination of a much longer term investigation by various state agencies and not only the Security Branch of the South African Police. Key words: Liliesleaf; Rivonia; Mandela; intelligence; SADF; Security Branch; direction finding; Umkhonto we Sizwe; South African Communist Party; African National Congress Introduction Popular culture portrays the South African Police Security Branch experiencing a lucky Downloaded by [Mr Garth Benneyworth] at 06:32 15 August 2017 break when they raided Liliesleaf farm in the then peri-urban suburb of Rivonia, Johannes- burg on 11 July 1963. Security Branch (SB) is popularly perceived as a proverbial Mr Plod staffed with witless policemen, who bumbling along, finally caught up.1 Contemporary lit- erature suggests that when 14 Security Branch including Lieutenant Van Wyk and an Alsa- tian called Cheetah leapt from their dry cleaning van at Liliesleaf to raid the premises, they had little idea of the enormity of the haul they were about to make.
