Yet in all this we have remembered and quietly honoured those who have fallen in the number of events that were hosted here. Fulfilling our National Mandate We commemorated the 30th anniversary of Cuito Cuanvale and speaker after speaker spoke about Cuba’s involvement in Africa is a remarkable tale of selflessness, unconditional OPINION PIECE support and the invaluable contributions to the cause of freedom, justice and development which spans more than four decades. We remembered the Indentured Labourer – the Unsung Hero. Our intergenerational dialogues have one sole objective that we make our young people mindful of our past and the manner in which it shapes our present and future, we believe it imperative to remember and honour those who came before us. This is an opportunity for South Africans to contribute to our history. We often think of historic events as those things that made the world sit up and take notice. But our history is more than that. Our history resides in the stories of an individual life and how it played a part in the lives of others and ultimately in the story of our country. By submitting a name for inscription on the Wall of Names, you will ensure that our heroes and heroines receive the honour they deserve. These names will be known nationally and internationally for their contribution to the freedom and liberation of South Africa. By sharing your memories and momentos for inclusion we will grant them their rightful place in the history of our country. This quarter we were haunted by an incredible sadness, at the loss of Mam Winnie, Ms Joyce Mashamba, Mr Billy Modise and Dr Philip Tabane. But nothing prepared us for the indescribable pain descended upon us but like a balm that soothes the gnawing pain; ~Ms Jane Mufamadi we are consoled by the life of Mam Winnie Madikizela Mandela which gives us hope and imbibes in us the confidence and inspiration that we can conquer anything that life throws at us.

    From Popular Solidarity to From Popular Solidarity to Official Support Emergence of Local Solidarity Committees In response to the SUlL campaign, locally constituted South Africa Committees emerged at the beginning of 1963. Taking the boycott question further than formal demands and statements, they abandoned SUL's exclusive concentration on the youth, broadened the base of the solidarity movement and placed the anti- apartheid struggle on the national political agenda through active mobilization and lobbying. They also widened their scope of action, increasingly paying attention to the rest of the Southern African region. The committees reached their height in 1966, but were then rapidly overshadowed by the Vietnam movement. However, some of them-such as the Lund committeesurvived the turbulent years of the late 1960s and would at the beginning of the 1970s form the nucleus of a second generation solidarity movement with Southern Africa, reorganized as the Africa Groups in Sweden (AGIS). The first local South Africa committees were formed in Lund and Jbnkbping in southern Sweden. Both were set up in support of the SUL campaign,1 but had different origins. The Lund committee was mainly formed by students, who could build upon a long involvement with South Africa at the local university and to a large extent were inspired by resident Southern Africans.2 Billy Modise from ANC played a prominent and active part in the committee's work from the very beginning, later joined by students from Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Jonkhping committee, on the other hand, was almost exclusively the brainchild of one person, Anders Johansson,3 a young journalist 1 Lunds Sydafrikakomnsnitt6: ('Presentation') [no date] (AJC) and Sbdra Vtterbygdens Sydafrikakonunitt6: 'Verksamhetsberattelse for 1963' ('Annual report for 1963'), Jinkiping, 7 February 1964 (AJC).

Emma Elinor Lundin ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the struggle to increase women’s participation in public and political life by focusing on the activism of women within the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) from 1960 until 1994. It argues that internationalism was key to these women’s success, providing them with a source of support and funding as well as a stage to develop policies away from overwhelmingly patriarchal national settings. Creating and steering political trends and discussions in international fora, and bolstered by the approval of others in the international community, the women who feature here gained a foot in the door of power and created environments conducive to their presence, abilities and voices.

    Zambia, QAU and the Soviet Union Zambia, QAU and the Soviet Union Kenneth Kaunda President of Zambia President of the United National Independence Party (Lusaka, 15 July 1995) Tor Sellstr6m: I would like to clarify that the objective of the interview is to discuss the involvement of all the Nordic countries in the liberation struggle in Southern Africa. Kenneth Kaunda: Well, it was Olof Palme who led the Nordic countries in this process. It was his contribution which aroused the interest and the feelings of the other Nordic countries. They also made very wonderful contributions, there is no doubt about that. But I am merely being factual when I say that it all started with Sweden. TS: You went to England as a young man in 1957 and met the Labour Party and others there. Did you at that time have any contacts with a Nordic country or organization? KK: No, not at that time. We were very insular in those days. We were more or less locked out. We had no contacts with the outside world. For example, in 1954 a few colleagues and myself wanted to organize a Pan-African Congress for this region. We invited some people from the neighbouring countries, but even they were banned. Only one man from the United Nations, a Burmese, managed to attend. We were very insular. It was not our choice. It was the way the colonial masters wanted it to be. When I visited England it was the first time that I went outside the region. TS: Were your first contacts with the Nordic countries made then after Zambia's independence in 1964? KK: No, it was a little earlier.
