As from this issue Searchlight South Africa is being printed and distributed from Johannesburg. By this means the editors hope to achieve several things. Firstly, we hope to avoid the endless interference with mail from abroad in South Africa. Secondly, we hope by this means to keep the sale price of the journal to a minimum in order to reach the largest possible readership. This is the only way in which we can cope with the extrele poverty of many potential readers in South Africa. In the process readers who could afford a higher prieve will benefit. We only hope that they will find their way clear to send us donations to recover some of our costs. Unfortunately we cannot lower the price outside South Africa, but at this juncture we are not raising our price to meet higher postage and other costs. Otherwise there will be no changes in our policies and the editorial board will stay, at least for the present, in London, We also hope to appear more regularly and regret the long interval since issue No 7 , Notes to Contributors: Articles and reviews, accompanied by IBM ASCII fliles on disk - if possible - should be submitted to the editors, typed or printed out, in one-and-a-half, or double spacing, Articles should be between 4,000 and 7,000 words, but we will be flexible and will consider longer pieces. Short articles (other than letters) will only be accepted if they are of exceptional interest. Letters commenting on recent articles in Searchlight South Africa, or relating to current events in South Africa, will be printed as soon as possible. These contributions should not exceed 1,500 words and may be shortened to fit available space, If substantial alterations would improve an article or review, the editors will communicate with authors before proceeding with publication, The editors reserve the right to alter grammar, spelling, punctuation, or obvious errors in the text. Footnotes and references should follow the practice of previous issues of the journal.. These should be kept as short as possible, and notes should, where possible, be included in the text. THE 'NEW WORLD ORDER' - AND 'OLD WORLD' DISORDER Malevolence has been gratified by the errors they have committed, attributing that imperfection to the theory they adopted which was applicable only to the folly of their practice. Mary Wollstonecraft* The Betrayal of a Russian Dream In the year 1992, when one-time Marxists are busy chasing their tails and claiming that their Gods have failed them, we must point again to that profound truth of Mary Wollstonecraft. Those who now repudiate the theories they once held as erroneous or imperfect, either misunderstood the Marxism they claimed to follow, or they deliberately perverted Marx's teachings. They altered the meaning of Marx and his close collaborators, they lied in order to justify the crimes of the USSR, and they assisted in preventing the development of socialism. Now, in an effort to resurrect their claim to honesty they shift the folly of their practice to the theory itself. It is only because some sections of the old Communist Party still have a grip on a section of the working class - and this is certainly the case in South Africa - that it is essential that their falsehoods be exposed. Also, it is still necessary to protect those who follow them unwittingly. In the short space available we offer this sketch of events over the past seventy years in the belief that there are still people who can hear and will listen. Seventy four years ago the Bolshevik Party took power in Russia and set as its goal the establishment of an international socialist society. But that did not ensure stability. First they accepted the most humiliating terms and signed a peace treaty with Germany in order to extricate the state from a disastrous war. Then they routed armies financed by the capitalist west and tried to reach the German borders to win the western workers to their dream of a free society. Next they organized a Communist (or Third) International (Comintern) and a Red international of Labour Unions (Profmtern), to unite the workers of the world in a revolutionary movement. Faced by their need to escape from isolation, and seeking support for their beleaguered state, the Bolsheviks extended the hand of friendship to the colonial people, to the workers, and to intellectuals everywhere. Reality did not favour the Bolsheviks. Conditions inside the Soviet Union deteriorated. There was a cholera epidemic, drought and starvation. The Kronstadt sailors rose in rebellion and the command economy organized under war conditions was replaced, under duress, by a free market of farm produce. Nor did the international movement prosper: the communist regime in Hungary collapsed (and in this General Smuts had a role to play as an envoy of the western powers), and the German revolt of 1923 was misconceived and bungled. The Comintern never rallied large movements, the Profintern was always peripheral to the working class movement. Also, within a few years it became obvious that: The socialism of many Bolsheviks was not unalloyed with corruption; the Red army contained many careerists; the Comintern became a centre of intrigue. The Bol- Searchlight South Africa, Vol 2, No 4, January 1992 shevik party had failed to develop an active tradition of democratic dissent and after the death of Lenin the already fragile unity of the party was seen to have depended on the authority of one man. Without Lenin the party became increas. ingly narrow and restrictive; the tenuous practice of debate and discussion came to an end; and the purges got under way.

    Speech by Human Settlements Minister, Mr Tokyo Sexwale, on the occasion of the establishment of the Chair for Education in Human Settlements Development Management at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University - 19 March 2013. Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen. It is edifying on this very special occasion, taking place at this institution of higher learning, to be with you all today. This school, the Nelson 1 Mandela Metropolitan University, now no longer carries the name of Elizabeth but that of Nelson, who is none other than the iconic founding father of our nation and democracy - Rolihlahla Mandela. Many universities across the globe have recognized Madiba in one way or another and awarded him with more than a 120 Honorary Degrees, fellowships and diplomas. They have also named lecture theatres and halls after him including beautiful varsity botanical gardens. However, thus far, there is only one university which carries his name – this is it! We from the Ministry and the Department of Human Settlements are truly happy to be here today at Mandela’s University as your partners. 2 This partnership is a tri-partite affair. It includes the Ministry and Department of Higher Education and Training, the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and the Ministry and Department of Human Settlements. Today’s occasion marks the culmination of efforts by several players for the realization and establishment of a special chair – the Chair for Education in Human Settlements Development Management. This varsity is currently already endowed with several research chairs, however, this is important. The Human Settlements Education Chair introduces a new scholastic and academic dimension to this institution.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

    Safrica Page 1 of 42 Recent Reports Support HRW About HRW Site Map May 1995 Vol. 7, No.3 SOUTH AFRICA THREATS TO A NEW DEMOCRACY Continuing Violence in KwaZulu-Natal INTRODUCTION For the last decade South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal region has been troubled by political violence. This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

  • 31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL
    31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR WOMEN - 2-4 JUNE 1995 The Council's representative at the abovementioned hearing will be Mrs Eva Mahlangu, a teacher at the Filadelfia Secondary School for children with disabilities, Eva has a disability herself. We thank you for the opportunity to comment. It is Council's opinion that many women are disabled because of neglect, abuse and violence and should be protected. Further more Women with Disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups and need to be empowered to take their rightful place in society. According to the United Nations World Programme of Action Concerning Disable Persons: "The consequences of deficiencies and disablement are particularly serious for women. There are a great many countries where women are subjected to social, cultural and economic disadvantages which impede their access to, for example, health care, education, vocational training and employment. If, in addition, they are physically or mentally disabled their chances of overcoming their disablement are diminished, which makes it all the more difficult for them to take part in community life. In families, the responsibility for caring for a disabled parent often lies with women, which considerably limits their freedom and their possibilities of taking part in other activities". The Nairobi Plan of Action for the 1990's also states: Disabled women all over the world are subject to dual discrimination: first, their gender assigns them second-class citizenship; then they are further devalued because of the negative and limited ways the world perceives people with disabilities. Legislation shall guarantee the rights of disabled women to be educated and make decisions about pregnancy, motherhood, adoption, and any medical procedure which affects their ability to reproduce.

  • The Church As a Peace Broker: the Case of the Natal Church Leaders' Group and Political Violence in Kwazulu-Natal (1990-1994)1
    The Church as a peace broker: the case of the Natal Church Leaders’ Group and political violence in KwaZulu-Natal (1990-1994)1 Michael Mbona 2 School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Abstract Moves by the state to reform the political landscape in South Africa at the beginning of 1990 led to increased tension between the Inkatha Freedom Party and the African National Congress in the province of Natal and the KwaZulu homeland. Earlier efforts by the Natal Church Leaders’ Group to end hostilities through mediation had yielded minimal results. Hopes of holding the first general democratic election in April 1994 were almost dashed due to Inkatha’s standoff position until the eleventh hour. This article traces the role played by church leaders in seeking to end the bloody clashes taking place at that time by engaging with the state and the rival political parties between 1990 and 1994. Despite the adoption of new strategies, challenges such as internal divisions, blunders at mediation, and the fact that the church leaders were also “political sympathisers”, hampered progress in achieving peace. While paying tribute to the contribution of other team players, this article argues that an ecumenical initiative was responsible for ending the politically motivated brutal killings in KwaZulu-Natal in the early years of 1990. Introduction The announcement in 1990 by State President FW de Klerk about the release of political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, and the unbanning of all political parties was a crucial milestone on the journey towards reforming the South African political landscape.3 While these reforms were acclaimed by progressive thinkers within and outside South Africa, tension between 1 This article follows on, as part two, from a previous article by the same author.
