Apart from Zimbabwe, where a political crisis continues, all of these states have further seen the end of major conflicts within the last two decades. The need to come to terms with past violations, however, remains. Only in South Africa have formal transitional justice mechanisms played a visible role, and even there, those mechanisms have left many issues unaddressed. In an effort to understand the challenges in these countries and evaluate the options for future action, the ICTJ Cape Town office, in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR), the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA), the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) and the South Africa History Archive (SAHA), as well as the Legal Assistance Center of Namibia, PROPAZ in Mozambique, Development Workshop in Angola and the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU) in Zimbabwe, has been engaged in an assessment of the transitional justice landscape in the Southern African sub-region since October 2007. The assessments culminated in a workshop from 30 September to 1 October 2008 in which partners, along with civil society actors from the region, deliberated over the findings and recommendations from the missions, and finally the production of this five-country report. While the individual reports concentrate on transitional justice in each country, the discussions at the workshop allowed the authors of each study to exchange information and compare results. This comparative perspective informs the reports, which show transformation in each country has faced several common hurdles, but also show that each country has had unique experiences. In all five cases, there are some commonalities: the devastation of conflict on livelihood; inherent lack of transparency as a key aspect of the political culture; transition as a betrayal of ideals; extreme socio-economic inequality and high rates of gender based violence. In South Africa, for example, the extreme economic inequality between rich and poor reflects the failure to address the economic crimes of apartheid and the absence of adequate reparations. In Angola, meanwhile, transitional justice mechanisms such as truth-seeking are often relegated to the second tier of priorities, and “reconciliation as reconstruction” has become a national mantra. Throughout the reports, the interface between justice and development is an overwhelming concern. Other common threads run through the diverse cases. For example, several reports note the existence of and possible advantages of informal and traditional transitional justice mechanisms; evaluate the necessity and feasibility of anti-corruption measures; identify possible reforms of veterans’ pension schemes; identify gender-based crimes, inequalities and poor access to justice; consider community reparations schemes; propose healing programs and transitional justice education; suggest research on victims’ views; and call for the coordination of civil society initiatives. Yet the differences between the cases are as compelling as their similarities. The political crisis in Zimbabwe makes any preparation for transitional justice mechanisms uncertain, while the end of devastating conflicts in Angola and Mozambique means that discussions of transitional justice take place in the context of extreme war-weariness. In Namibia the continued dominance of 4 SWAPO, the liberation movement and current ruling party, has prevented official investigation of the past. In South Africa, finally, the much-publicised Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) exposed the truth behind many individual violations of rights under apartheid, but produced an incomplete record of abuses and failed to gain the cooperation of many former high- level officials, who have nonetheless not been prosecuted. Below are brief summaries of findings for each country, along with each assessment’s chief recommendations. Mozambique Assessment Findings The assessment found that while no formal transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in Mozambique, a wide range of transitional justice mechanisms have operated in the country since the first post-conflict elections in 1994. These had often been overlooked because they were not institutionalised as part of a “national” project. Informal transitional justice mechanisms initiated through both the churches and traditional leaders were critical through performing cleansing and reintegration ceremonies for ex-combatants in the immediate aftermath of the conflict. Nonetheless, a critical mass of those affected by the conflict was not included in these processes and the assessment heard that this failure is reflected in some of the current challenges facing the country. The growing economic disparities in the country and socio- economic injustice concerns as well as the increasing dominance of the ruling party FRELIMO are increasingly jeopardizing Mozambique’s peaceful transition. Recommendations The report calls for: Support for human rights education Research into the reach and efficacy of traditional African transitional structures as reintegration mechanisms Empirical research to examine the reintegration of children used during the conflict and track their journey from the bush to the present An oral history documenting the role and experiences of women in the conflict in order to create a more inclusive historical record The impact of international aid requirements such as structural adjustment programs to be researched Examination of how restitution and reparations could be achieved for South Africa’s destabilisation of Mozambique during the apartheid era. Zimbabwe Assessment Findings The transitional justice situation in Zimbabwe remains uncertain because of the fragile nature of the 15 September 2008 power-sharing agreement. If the agreement holds, there are opportunities for transitional justice, although justice and accountability have been given minimal space. While the agreement makes no explicit reference to amnesty, political commitment presupposes an 5 understanding between all signatories of a de facto amnesty. There is no sunset clause, but it is vague on issues of institutional reform. The assessment was postponed on several occasions due to the deteriorating security climate in the aftermath of the 29 March electoral violence. While the Mission was unable to travel outside of Harare, the in-country partner RAU received over 500 responses to a victim survey which informed the report. The assessment found a relatively low awareness and understanding of transitional justice mechanisms. Education on transitional justice is a clear priority: victims expressed a desire for justice, but often had little knowledge of possible mechanisms. In response to questions about transitional justice measures, however, victims and civil society emphasized justice, especially prosecutions and reparations, and showed little enthusiasm for more reconciliatory options. Even church-based groups, while discussing the need for reconciliation, emphasized that crimes should not be forgotten, and that victims should receive compensation. Overall, the most urgent desire of respondents was for reparations and mechanisms to address economic crimes. Recommendations The report calls for: Increased transitional justice education. A broad-based training effort could counter the knowledge gap on transitional justice A national healing process. Many victims and perpetrators continue to live side by side, and healing is urgently necessary. The approach to healing must be bottom-up rather than top-down. In this regard, the Mission found that the work by the Tree of Life offers a possible model, but such programmes need to cover a much wider area Research on victims’ views and models of transitional justice. By coupling transitional justice training with a survey effort, it would be possible to document violations and get victim feedback on transitional justice options. While NGOs are already

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.

  • Constructive Engagement": U.S
    GUNTHER HELLMANN The Collapse of "Constructive Engagement": U.S. Foreign Policy in Southern Africa* 1. Introduction During the Reagan Administration, U.S. foreign policy in southern Africa acquired new significance in American politics. Political elites and subse- quently the American public were increasingly polarized as the conflicts among and within the states of southern Africa escalated. The Reagan Administration meanwhile was unable either to exercise a moderating influ- ence on the contending parties in southern Africa or to win public support with a convincing policy. In January 1987 an independent report ordered by President Reagan in September 1985 bluntly stated that the Administration's policy had failed.1 Yet initially its southern Africa policy had seemed most apt to live up to the Administration's claim to rebuild U.S. global leadership. How was it that a policy which in 1981 was regarded by nearly all sides as a coherent and reasoned whole2 could six years later be issued such a devastating judgment under the seal of the State Department? And is it valid to maintain that this policy was really "doomed to fail" from the start?3 This essay seeks to show that the Administration's policy failed in two respects. First and most fundamentally, the Administration failed to devise a coherent and effective policy transcending the tension between anti-commu- nism on the one hand and anti-apartheid on the other. This conflict of goals had been evident, though largely latent, in policy toward southern Africa since the 1970s. Second, and more important, this essay will argue that it * For their valuable and stimulating ideas I would like to extend my special thanks to the editors and, in particular, Winrich Kühne and Ambassador Donald F.

  • THE UNITED STATES and SOUTH AFRICA in the NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This Thesis Examines Relat
    ABSTRACT THE SIN OF OMISSION: THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICA IN THE NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This thesis examines relations between the United States and South Africa during Richard Nixon’s first presidential administration. While South Africa was not crucial to Nixon’s foreign policy, the racially-divided nation offered the United States a stabile economic partner and ally against communism on the otherwise chaotic post-colonial African continent. Nixon strengthened relations with the white minority government by quietly lifting sanctions, increasing economic and cultural ties, and improving communications between Washington and Pretoria. However, while Nixon’s policy was shortsighted and hypocritical, the Afrikaner government remained suspicious, believing that the Nixon administration continued to interfere in South Africa’s domestic affairs despite its new policy relaxations. The Nixon administration concluded that change in South Africa could only be achieved through the Afrikaner government, and therefore ignored black South Africans. Nixon’s indifference strengthened apartheid and hindered liberation efforts, helping to delay black South African freedom for nearly two decades beyond his presidency.

The corona virus pandemic will, in the short to medium-term at least, severely affect economic performance and put significant strain on Namibia’s public finances which were already in poor shape. Efforts to get the economy through the immediate crisis will take precedence over efforts at reform. Namibia went into the global financial crisis in a relatively strong position from a fiscal and monetary point of view. This time is very different.
