Published by the Anti-ApartheidMovement, 89 Charlotte Street, Lndon, W.1. January, 1965No. k rieeae W~f Fenner Brockway says "I am against apartheid because I believe... ated and uneducated. The more priyileged look down on the less privileged, An understanding of human unity is the most urgent need of our time. The world becomes daily closer in contact and integration. Unless all races co-operate as equals, there will be explosion and destruction. Those of Ls who am white should remember sometimes that two-thirds of the world population are non- white. If this interpretation of life is accepled, racial superiority, contempt for any other people because of their colour, is seen to be a crime against humanity. We must not be too self-righteous. There is a great deal of colour feelng in Britain. Scan the advertisements of accommodation in the suburban newspapers: " No Coloureds." The southern states of America are, as we know, diseased by colour feeling. So are the white-occupied territories of Africa. Then why pick on South Africa when other nations in varying degrees practice apartheid? Why this concentration of protest? Why the deiusion of the British Government to stop sending arms? Why the demand foe economic sanctions? For this reason: The government of South Africa is the only government in the world which boasts of apartheid, which has made the separation of races a philosophy, which has made the claim of white superiority a religion. The rest of us are ashamed of racial discrimination. Perhaps some of us are hypocrites about it : Rhodesia, Portugal, Spain. But everywhere else in the world, govemrments, leaders of thought, political parties (except the Fascists), everyone of influence. resist colour feeling and race separation. The tide the world over is towards racial cooperation The South African Government is alone in acclaiming and extending racial segregation: It is more than a theoretical belief. As the confrontation between the two views grows, as the non-white population of South Africa becomes more self-respecting and challenging in the assertion of its rights, the oppression by the white Government must become more severe and you, reader, the decision which you must make is clear. Are you on the side of the world which is moving towards human cooperation and equality? Or are you in favour of South Africa (minority white South Africa) which repudiates the human family by the segregation and humiliation of all those who are non-white? The choice is that simple. Campaign target for 1965 1965 will be a year that will make demands of us, For 1964 was a black year in South Africa't was a year of 90-day detention, a year of brutal torture of political prisoners, a year of mass political trials. It was the year in whiah Nelson Mandela,. Walter Sisulu and seven colleagues were senttenced to life imprisonment, the year in which trade unionists Vuyisile Mini, Zinakile Mkah, Wilson Khayingo and five other Africans were hanged, the year that brought the total number of persons convicted for offences under the Sabotage and Suppression of Communism Acts to nearly 2,000 in two years. But it was also a year of great heroism: when Nelson Mandela declared that he was prepared to die, if necessary, for his convictions; when Mini, Mkaba and Khayingo refused to save their lives by giving information to the police; and many, many others, most of them little known to the public faced long orison sentences rather than eive evidence against their comrades. And it was the year when one African wife spoke for thousands of others as, from the back of the court, she shouted aloud: " I am proud of you, my husband. Twelve years? It's nothing." Abroad, there has been massive reaction to these events, and the AntiApartheid Movement can be proud of its part in organising public protest, in its campaigns in February and November against torture of political prisoners, and, through the World Campaign, in collecting signatures representing over 200 million people throughout the world demanding the release of all South African political prisoners. Our campaigns helped to save the lives of the accused in the Rivonia Trial ; and to force the South African Minister of Justice to suspend the 90-day detention clause of the General Law Amendment Act. Those were vlories. So was the International Conference on Economic Sanctions against South Africa, held in London under our sponsorship and attended by 29 ollicial government delegation and representatives of 46 countries. This conferenc for the first time made sanctions a subject of serious practical debate in this country, and in the other countries of the West whose participation would be essential to any effective international sanctions plan. And finally, so was the implementaton by the naw Labour Government of an arms embargo against South Africa. 1965 opens therefore heavy with responsibility for those who care about what happens to South Africa - responsibility to those in South African prisons and to those who carry on the struggle at constant risk of death or imprisonment. And also rich with possibilities. For this year, we have the possibility of converting the mass profest into positive acts by governments, in this country and abroad. We have for the first time a British Government broadly sympathetic to the fight against apartheid. It is our task to show that the British public demands of it a positive policy against apartheid, and against racialism, These are some targets for 1965. This newspaper has been started. and the whole scope and organisation of Anti-Apartheid expanded, to enable us to achieve them. 1.

  • 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”.

This creates a number of problems for pupils who have to struggle with the language of learning and teaching as they grapple with historical events. This study sought to examine the impact of the protest song in the teaching of South African (struggle) history. The researcher employed qualitative research methods to investigate one teacher’s practice in her two history classes. She used struggle stalwart and composer, Vuyisile Mini’s compositions in facilitating teaching. The songs were either played from an audiotape or the teacher taught the class lyrics of some songs for the pupils to sing.

  • Statements from the Dock Mary
    Author : Mary Benson The Sun will Rise: Statements from the Dock by Southern African Political Prisoners Contents James April Introduction Mosioua Robert Lekota Sobukwe Maitshe Nelson Mokoape Mandela Raymond Walter Sisulu Suttner Elias Mosima Motsoaledi Sexwale Andrew Naledi Tsiki Mlangeni Martin Wilton Mkwayi Ramokgadi Bram Fischer Isaac Seko Toivo ja Toivo Stanley Eliaser Nkosi Tuhadeleni Petrus Mothlanthe 1 Introduction This collection of statements made during political trials since 1960 testifies to the high courage, determination and humanity which distinguish the struggle for liberation and for a just society in South Africa and Namibia. The earliest of the statements in the collection is by Robert Sobukwe, late leader of the Pan-Africanist Congress. It expresses a theme running through all the statements: "The history of the human race has been a struggle for the removal of oppression, and we would have failed had we not made our contribution. We are glad we made it". Nelson Mandela`s powerful statement in Pretoria`s Palace of Justice on 20 April 1964, when he and other members of the African National Congress and the Congress Alliance were in the dock in the Rivonia Trial, has become an historic document. Two years later Bram Fischer QC, the advocate who had led the Rivonia defence, was himself on trial in the same court. A large part of the statements made by these two men is reproduced here, along with less well known statements by others on trial during the 1960s. This was the period immediately after the ANC and the PAC were outlawed. The liberation movement`s long-maintained policy of non-violence was finally abandoned for sabotage and armed struggle.

Though the organisation no longer exists, its former members are represented by the MK Military Veterans’ Association, which still carries some political clout within the ruling African National Congress (ANC). The story of MK, as Umkhonto is widely and colloquially known in South Africa, is one of paradox and contradiction, successes and failures. A people’s army fighting a people’s war of national liberation, they never got to march triumphant into Pretoria. A small group of dedicated revolutionaries trained by the Soviet Union and its allies, they were committed to the seizure of state power, but instead found their principals engaged in negotiated settlement with the enemy as the winds of global politics shifted in 9 the late 1980s. A guerrilla army of a few thousand soldiers in exile, disciplined and well trained, many of them were never deployed in battle, and most could not ‘get home’ to engage the enemy. Though MK soldiers set off limpet mines in public places in South Africa, killing a number of innocent civilians, they refrained from laying the anti-personnel mines that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands in other late-twentieth-century wars.

  • Struggle for Liberation in South Africa and International Solidarity A
    STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION IN SOUTH AFRICA AND INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY A Selection of Papers Published by the United Nations Centre against Apartheid Edited by E. S. Reddy Senior Fellow, United Nations Institute for Training and Research STERLING PUBLISHERS PRIVATE LIMITED NEW DELHI 1992 INTRODUCTION One of the essential contributions of the United Nations in the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa has been the preparation and dissemination of objective information on the inhumanity of apartheid, the long struggle of the oppressed people for their legitimate rights and the development of the international campaign against apartheid. For this purpose, the United Nations established a Unit on Apartheid in 1967, renamed Centre against Apartheid in 1976. I have had the privilege of directing the Unit and the Centre until my retirement from the United Nations Secretariat at the beginning of 1985. The Unit on Apartheid and the Centre against Apartheid obtained papers from leaders of the liberation movement and scholars, as well as eminent public figures associated with the international anti-apartheid movements. A selection of these papers are reproduced in this volume, especially those dealing with episodes in the struggle for liberation; the role of women, students, churches and the anti-apartheid movements in the resistance to racism; and the wider significance of the struggle in South Africa. I hope that these papers will be of value to scholars interested in the history of the liberation movement in South Africa and the evolution of United Nations as a force against racism. The papers were prepared at various times, mostly by leaders and active participants in the struggle, and should be seen in their context.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings

It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.

  • Memorandum on Senator Robert Kennedy's Visit to South Africa
    MEMORANDUM ON SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY'S VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA. MEMORANDUM ON SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY'S VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA. This memorandum is compiled by nenbers of the NUSAS Committee in Europe, and is intended to elaborate on various aspects of Senator Kennedy's visit. It must be emphasized that this memorandum contains only suggestions. Final details will have to be worked out between Cape Town and Senator Kennedy. The NSAS Committee in Europeq although it has the confidence of the NUSAS President, has not been asked to negotiate any of the details of the visit, by him. The memorandum deals with the following: a) What NUSAS hopes Senator Kennedy's visit will achieve. b) The organisation of the visit. c) The itinerary. d) Some of the people whom Senator Kennedy would, hopefully be able to meet. e) (a) What NUSAS hopes Senator Kennedy's visit will achieve. Although it is obvious that Senator Kennedy's visit will have both international repercussions and repercussions in the U.S.A., NUSAS is primarily concerned with the effect in South Africa. Within this limitation, NUSAS sees the visit providing the following: i) an opportunity for Senator Kennedy to make a first-hand assessment of the South African situation, particularly of individuals and organisations like NUSAS, which are concerned to establish democratic structures in South Africa; ii) an opportunity for students and the general public in South Africa to move, through the agency of Senator Kennedy, some way out of the isolation which is a deliberate part of the Nationalist Party Government's policy; iii) an opportunity for the democratic opposition in South Africa to show that it has the support of a prominent member and policy-maker of a major Western democracy.
