My genel"ation have seen grave crimes of oppression committed against the people. We grew up discussing the latest pass raids, whose father had been detained, who had lost a parent in detention, or in which prison one of your parents is, when last they wel"B visited, when the Zast police raid was in youl" home .. This brie[Zy was our childhood convel"sation. ' - Zinzi MandeZa, daughter of Nelson MandeZa - imprisoned for life - and Winnie MandeZa - banished, speaking at an amnesty rally at the University of the Witwatel"srand,Johannesburg, 20 March l980 The stunning victory of the Patriotic Front in the February elections in Zimbabwe sent a strong message to the t.l:)rld - especially across the Limpopo into the bastion of apartheid. South African whites were shaken to their roots. Prime Minister Pieter Botha warned Prime Minister-elect Robert Mugabe of Z:iJnba.bwe not to harbor forces hostile to Pretoria. Botha also anmunced he was going to assemble a national conference to weld all races together to stand ' shoulder to shoulder' to defend South Africa against comnunism. Botha reneged on that and now says that his 'states conference' really means a gathering of Southern African leaders to ~sue his dream of a 'constellation' of states - a device for control­ ling the sub-continent which now lies in ruins in the wake of the victory of the people in Zi.rnballwe. The response of free Southern African nations to that particular piece of nonsense was a meeting in Lusaka, Zambia, Where nine countries - including Zimbabwe - ratified a declaration entitled: 'Southern Africa: Towards Economic Liberation'. Zimbabwe ' s message came through loud and clear to South Africa's blacks. Exultation swept t he country. Soweto SUNDAY POST editor Percy Qoboza picked up on both the tide flowing out of Zi.mbal:liYe and Botha' s flustered reaction and launched a campaign for freedom for exiled and imprisoned leaders. The 20th anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre of 21 March 1960 was marked amidst the refreshing events. An enhanced determ:i.r>.ation infuses the ranks of the oppressed and same of the oore fortunate alike. An opportunity, a hopeful opportunity, presents a path for a peaceful and just settlement in that lovely and agonized land. No such settlement can succeed without an amnesty. South Africa's 'natural leaders ' must be free , unhampered and at home so that any genuine representative national dialogue can corre about. We outside South Africa must redouble our efforts - support the movement for amnesty - without in any way relenting in pressures for economic sanctions against the Pretoria regime or in our support for the active forces of liberation.

It is intended to demonstrate that the South African churches failed to effectively politicize and radicalize to confront the government until the advent of Contextual Theology in South Africa. Contextual Theology provided the Christian clergy the theological justification to unite with anti-apartheid organizations.

  • Sowetan and Mail and Guardian 1
    CHAPTER 3 THE HISTORIES: SOWETAN AND MAIL AND GUARDIAN 1. Introduction This chapter offers the histories of both the Sowetan and the Mail & Guardian and applies the theories discussed in the previous chapter. This is done as an attempt to contextualise the newspapers under review within the theoretical framework. Important here is the fact that historical processes have played a role in how these newspapers have reached their contemporary form. In a nutshell the chapter highlights how these newspapers related to the apartheid government and how they relate to the democratic government. It also attempts to show how these newspapers have been drawn in the transition from apartheid to democracy. 2. The Sowetan The Sowetan, grew out of the Bantu World which was founded in 1932 with the ANC leader Selope Thema as the editor. Bantu World was a product of the white capitalist conviction that there was money to be made out of blacks and “a belief in moulding native opinion so that political developments would follow the course of ‘reasoned protest’ with the ultimate aim of raising the masses to the ‘civilised standards’ of the white man” (Tomaselli and Louw, 1991:21). In 1955 Bantu World changed its name to The World and was regarded as a widely read and influential black newspaper (Tomaselli and Louw, 1991). Tomaselli and Louw (1991) argue that before Percy Qoboza’s era (Qoboza joined The World in 1974), The World’s editorial policy was less critical of apartheid policies especially in comparison to the Rand Daily Mail which also targeted black readers.

  • Aggrey Klaaste: the Relentless Community-Builder
    Aggrey Klaaste: The Relentless Community-Builder A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing of Rhodes University by Phakama Mbonambi February 2014 ii ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the life and times of Aggrey Klaaste, the larger-than-life late editor of Sowetan who shot to fame by championing a novel idea of nation building. His initiative started in 1988 as flames of violence engulfed South Africa and it seemed as if an apocalypse was on the cards. Sickened by what the frustrated black community was doing to itself, for example the use of the dreadful practice of necklacing against the so-called collaborators, he called for moral regeneration. He wanted his compatriots to look into the future and take their destiny in their own hands. Through nation building he tirelessly launched into crusading journalism that sought to heal the scars of the black community after decades of apartheid. It was grassroots community building. He rewarded ordinary men and women who made a difference in their communities. He actively sought peace to end the violence of the 1980s and 1990s. He spoke his mind without wearing any ideological blinkers, even as some thought his initiative would disturb the march to freedom. He was the ultimate newspaperman. This thesis argues that by calling for reconciliation and rebuilding of battered black communities even before freedom came, Klaaste was ahead of his time and even predated Nelson Mandela. Klaaste preferred to do what was right and not be shackled to any ideology.
