University of Cape Town 2 ABSTRACT This thesis employs a life-history approach to investigate how a teacher-identity is cohered under conditions of education resistance in South Africa. The life-history is situated within the broad rubric of narrative studies, but extends this to investigating a teacher’s life within its complex locations of class, race, gender and religion. Alie Fataar was a legendary teacher at the Livingstone High School in Claremont, Cape Town, was a founder-member of the Non European Unity Movement (NEUM), General-Secretary of the Teachers’ League of South Africa (TLSA), founder-member of the African People’s Democratic Union of Southern Africa (APDUSA), and Joint-Secretary of the Unity Movement of South Africa (UMSA) in exile. He was banned in 1961 under the Suppression of Communism Act, and went into exile in 1965. The study tracks his teaching and political journeys in South Africa, and across three fledgling post-colonial African countries, namely Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The primary data employed in the study are the transcribed narratives of more than fifty hours of semi-structured interviews conducted with the teacher, Alie Fataar. The study also employs secondary data in the form of life-history documents sourced from the respondent, and is supplemented by photographs sourced from the respondent, as well as archival materials which supplement the narrative data. This vast body of data is analysed using a constructivist grounded theory approach. Data analysis was facilitated by the employment of QSR-NVivo 10, a qualitative data-analysis computer software package well suited to a grounded theory analysis. The study is the first known doctoral work in South Africa to utilise a life-history framework to explore the contextualised life of a teacher associated with the TLSA as this life engages with legislative frameworks, official policies, professional teacher associations, local communities, colleagues, personal networks, political movements and other social actors in the context of resistance in South African education. The study helps us understand the fluid discursive dimensions of a teaching life as it navigates complex personal, political and professional fields in the broader context of education resistance in fiercely contested social and political arenas. The study’s main finding is that Alie Fataar resists several essentialising social forces, including class, racial and religious identities, and, in doing so, the study finds that Alie Fataar holds consistently to a central, life-organising identity of the teacher as the supreme public intellectual under conditions of resistance in education and the broader socio-political-economic framework in South Africa. The study contributes to the still-sparse academic literature on the teachers of the TLSA, and simultaneously contributes to Cape social history and the politics of intellectual marginalisation in the Muslim community in the Cape from the first quarter of the twentieth century. The study makes theoretical contributions to the academic fields of life-history and the literature on exile, and contends that the researcher-researched continuum must be made explicit throughout a life-history study if the authorial voice of the subject of such a study is not to be subjugated. In terms of teacher-policy formulation, the study finds that the complex and nuanced identity-formation of teachers makes it imperative that the teacher-policy arena incorporates the voices of teachers in policy formulation. This avoids policy mismatches with regard to the very group, teachers, who are expected to adopt and implement these policies in schools. 3 DECLARATION I declare that ‘In my stride’: a life-history of Alie Fataar, teacher, is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used and quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Yunus Omar June 2015 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First I wish to acknowledge the warmth and generosity of Mrs. Ursula Fataar, who, with her husband Alie, opened their doors and lives to me unconditionally from the moment I began this study. Since that first meeting in Wynberg, my life has been enriched through the research and personal engagements with both Alie and Ursula Fataar. This study was made possible through the comradely willingness of two unassuming people who gave me a gift few receive: the gift is one of trust. I extend my deepest thanks and respect to Mrs. Fataar, who continues her activism in the progressive arenas of our country. Hers, too, is a story that deserves to be told, alongside that of Alie Fataar and the many comrades who fought anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-segregationist and anti-imperialist struggles throughout their adult lives. “But let’s talk.” From the moment that Professor Crain Soudien penned these words at the end of an assessment-comment on an HDE assignment of mine many years ago, he has been an enduring source of intellectual direction and guidance. I was not fortunate enough to have encountered Professor Soudien at the Harold Cressy High School where he taught and I was a student. Happily, my postgraduate journey was dotted with learning encounters with Professor Soudien. His diary groans under his punishing daily schedule, yet he remains the model of soft-spoken mentorship that has allowed me to bring this study to completion. His belief in youth agency and their capacity for positive, radical social change is a project I have embraced all my working life, and I suspect that much of my optimism in this regard stems from readings of his works, and the discussions with him that I have been privileged to be a part of. I convey my deep sense of indebtedness to Professor Soudien via these few words. Inevitably during the writing of this study, memories of my teachers have been foregrounded. From Mrs. Smith’s pre-school in Little Lesar Street, District Six, then a few metres further west to the now-destroyed Sydney Street Primary School; through Harold Cressy High School on the upper reaches of the District, and to UCT, teachers have been pivotal and decidedly influential in the formation of my identities. At every stage, teachers at these institutions taught me explicitly to understand that I was part of one human race, and taught me to disavow the many markers of negative discrimination which were appended to us all. I take this opportunity to relate one incident to exemplify what my teachers stood for. After my application for a teaching post at my high school alma mater had been processed, my principal informed me that my application had been rejected on the basis of my ‘race’. He had me sit in his office while he walked down Roeland Street to the Liberty Life Towers which housed the education department offices. He returned a while later, reached out his hand, and welcomed me to the staff of Harold Cressy High School. He had already announced his retirement as principal, yet continued to go the extra mile in pursuit of what he had always taught. He accepted no thanks. It was something that needed to be done, and he went about showing me what leadership is able to effect when courage and a commitment to education is required. I stand in awe of Victor Ritchie and all my teachers. Harold Cressy High School in District Six was one of the few remnants of my childhood after most of District Six had been bulldozed. My teachers kept the flame of resistance and hope alive, even as I floundered 5 in a glorified, overtly racially-inscribed township on the Cape Flats. I could return ‘home’ each morning as we travelled to school. I would not have completed this study without the constant thought that its completion was one of the ways in which I could demonstrate that I value what all my teachers have contributed to my life. I trust this study does not undermine the depth of their contributions to the lives of so many people. My wife first lit the flame of my thinking about a teaching-life. It is from her that I first heard about the ‘social constructions of reality’. It is from her that I first learnt of ‘Mr. Smith’ and the subtleties and complexities of mathematics pedagogy in the classroom. Those were the sparks which led me to first encounter education as something of mystery and unique wonder. The values we seek to bring to our family of four have informed my approach to this study: there can be no growth without honesty, and there is space for an interrogation of what we hold as taken-for-granted truths. I thank her, and I thank our two sons. They have endured the peaks and troughs of my life, and I am mindful that I appreciate very little of the scars I have left behind in this regard. I gratefully dedicate this study to my wife and our two sons. Our elder son displays a commitment to intellectual rigour, decency and social justice that makes me proud. I hope he will continue to grow into his academic persona, and make the contributions he is capable of.

TRANSFORMATION 15 (1991) ARTICLE \ EDUCATION, POLITICS AND ORGANISATION THE EDUCATIONAL TRADITIONS AND LEGACIES OF THE NON-EUROPEAN UNITY MOVEMENT, 1943-1986* Linda Chisholm The political culture of the.Western Cape, so any writer or visitor to the city of Cape Town and beyond will attest, is distinctive from that characterising the rest of the country. Wherever one stands on the organised political spectrum, it is distinc- tive for its combativeness, its intellectual assertiveness, and its critical disposition. Of course not all Western Cape activists or trade unionists are combative, or display critically enquiring minds. Nor are these qualities always an indisputable 'good'. Nonetheless, whatever the reservations and qualifications, it can be said that the political style of the Western Cape is distinctive. And it is remarkable. Sufficiently remarkable that it ought to be written about. The reasons for this distinctive character are of course complex and varied. Amongst these the political style and traditions established by the Non-European Unity Movement which grew out of the Anti-Coloured Affairs Department (Anti- CAD) campaign of the early 1940s must be included. It must be stressed that this is not the only, or even most significant political movement in the Western Cape; nor does it account for traditions that may have developed in the African townships.

  • BLACK ISLAM SOUTH AFRICA Religious Territoriality, Conversion
    BLACK ISLAM SOUTH AFRICA Religious Territoriality, Conversion, and the Transgression of Orderly Indigeneity Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades Dr. phil. im Promotionsfach Geographie am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie, Geographie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz vorgelegt von Matthias Gebauer geb. in Lichtenfels 2019 i Abstract Social alienation and the struggle to belong in the South African society are not only matters of political discourse but touch the practical sphere of everyday life in the respective places of residence. This thesis therefore approaches the entanglements of religion and space within the processes of re-ordering African indigeneity in post-apartheid South Africa. It asks how conversion to Islam constitutes the longing for a post-colonial and post-racialized African self. This study specifically engages with dynamics surrounding Black and Muslim practices and identity politics in formerly demarcated Black African areas. Here, even after the official end of apartheid, spatial racialization and social inequalities persist. Modes of orderings rooted in colonialism and apartheid still define what orderly belonging and African indigeneity mean. Thus, the inhabitants of those spaces find themselves in situations every day in which their habitat continuously ascribes oppression and racialization. The post-1994 promise for equal citizenship seems to be slowly fading, becoming a broken promise, on whose fulfillment the majority of people who were previously—by official definition and demarcation—only granted the right of being a migratory workforce, sojourners in the White spaces, are still waiting. Against this background, this thesis engages with the attempts to reformulate and recreate African indigeneity on the basis of a counter-hegemonic ideology of being Black and Muslim.

  • The Sanders Story a Family Saga
    1 The Sanders Story A Family Saga Researched, compiled and transcribed by Derrick Lewis 2 “The path to strength and prosperity, to success in the future, lies in understanding the past. Know your origins, study the achievements of the generations before you and you will benefit from the wisdom of your ancestors” - The Old Testament 3 Preface I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1943, one hundred and one years after the birth of my maternal Great Grandfather, Wulf Sanders. My father, Isidore Lewis was fatally struck down by a massive coronary three years after my birth. Due to difficult financial circumstances at the time, my Mother decided to move in with her parents, Isidore and Bella Israelsohn who lived in the Southern Cape town of George. This is where I grew up, in my Grandparents home, at 72 York Street, George. The story that have compiled is a direct result of the many conversations I had with my Grandmother and listening to her many stories and anecdotes. I felt that as our family story was fascinating, the family having lived on three continents before arriving here in South Africa, I would write down and attempt to record all this fascinating oral history. Later in my adult years I researched these anecdotal facts and discovered most of them to be true! What I have finally written is a record of the life and times of the Sanders family with the assistance and input of the many members of our extended family. Chapter One We were Courlanders! Our story begins in Courland, now known as the provinces of Kurzeme and Zemgale, of modern day Latvia.
