  • Building on The
    wmm mmmsm BUILDING ON THE Towards a post-apartheid constitution IN THIS ISSUE Metal wage talks Militarisation • Apartheid death squads Editorial here is a sense in which government's closure of one newspaper, Tand threatened banning of a number of other publications, is justi­ fied. This is not because those publications are necessarily guilty of biased or inaccurate journalism, or even because they are in contravention of the over 100 statutes which limit what may be published. Rather, it is because any government which has as much to hide as South Africa's rulers must fear all but the most tame sections of the media. Nearly half of all the editions of Work In Progress produced over ten years were banned under the Publications Act. Yet not once was it suggested that inaccuracy or false information was the reason for banning. In warning Work In Progress that action against the magazine was being contemplated, Stoffel Botha claims to have looked at 24 articles contained in two editions of the magazine. Yet in not one case does he claim that information in an article was false. The conclusion is clear: publications like Work In Progress face closure or pre-publication censorship because of the accuracy of their reporting and analysis. • When an attorney-general declines to prosecute soldiers who kidnap, assault and threaten with death a political activist because the soldiers were acting in terms of emergency regulations; • when a head of state stops the trial of soldiers accused of murdering a Swapo member at a political meeting because

  • The Social Shaping of Nuclear Energy Technology in South Africa
    WIDER Working Paper 2016/19 The social shaping of nuclear energy technology in South Africa Britta Rennkamp1 and Radhika Bhuyan2 April 2016 In partnership with Abstract: This paper analyses the question why the South African government intends to procure nuclear energy technology, despite affordable and accessible fossil and renewable energy alternatives. We analyse the social shaping of nuclear energy technology based on the statements of political actors in the public media. We combine a discourse network analysis with qualitative analysis to establish the coalitions in support and opposition of the programme. The central arguments in the debate are cost, safety, job creation, the appropriateness of nuclear energy, emissions reductions, transparency, risks for corruption, and geopolitical influences. The analysis concludes that the nuclear programme is not primarily about generating electricity, as it creates tangible benefits for the coalition of supporters. Keywords: nuclear energy, energy policy, science and technology policy, discourse network analysis, South Africa JEL classification: O14, Q48, O33, O55 Acknowledgements: The authors would like to thank all colleagues, unknown reviewers, and interviewees who supported our work on this paper.

The whole South African coastline was investigated as part of the original Nuclear Site Investigation Programme (NSIP). Criteria, such as demography (existing population densities), ecological sensitivity, geology (rolling dunes and unconsolidated sands are, even with high engineering solutions, not suitable for a Nuclear Power Station due to their geological instability), the characteristics of the coastal area and the tides and wave action and seismicity, amongst others, were taken into account in determining the potential suitability of sites. The EIA will validate the findings of the previous site selection studies (NSIP), within the current social, biophysical and economic context, including the reasons why other potential sites in the area were deemed to be less or unsuitable.

Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town ABSTRACT The - impress of history has been particularly profound in the sphere of environmental perception, in that South Africans, both black and white, have had their notions of the environment shaped by the political forces of the past. Accordingly, this study is placed within the context of historical geography, as its open­ ended techniques and multi-disciplinary approach is regarded as the most appropriate way of undertaking a study which crosses both historical and environmental boundaries. A contention fundamental to this study, is that South African environmental awareness and knowledge is at a fairly low level and that black environmental interest and concern in particular, ranges from apathy to outright hostility. It is further contended that the attainment of mass environmental literacy is essential for the success of the environmental movement in this country and that this in turn, is dependent on the adoption of a strategy incorporating an integrated hi~torical, social and political perspective.

    We, South Africans, reject conscription ™"“ ~ MARY BURTON - BLACK SASH ... ............... - I support the declaration to End Conscription because I believe that all young South Africans should be allowed the right to choose how they wi11 work for justice and peace in their count ry. I do not believe that service in the SADF is the road to the goal shared by many : 'a united South Africa where true democracy and the protection oh human rights offer a better chance of achieving justice and a lasting peace. REV DOUG BAX - CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, RONDEBOSCH I support the E.C.C. because: the State would not need to conscript for a justifiable war; the State has no right to conscript for an unjust- i f i a b1e wa r. Many young South Africans utterly reject being cons­ cripted into an army that is being used to deal with what - in the final analysis is a political problem: the protests of the excluded and oppressed. To be sure military forces may contain these protests for a time, but to suppose that institutionalised vio­ lence can transform South Africa into a stable, decent and democratic society is absurd. It is to the credit of those working to end conscription that they realise this, and rather than being hounded , as traitors, 1 join with many other South Africans in praising them for their vision and compassion. SIR RICHARD LUYT - EX-VICE CHANCELLOR UCT Conscription for all the population of a country would be unacceptable to me in most circumstances; conscription of an ethnic section of the population, as in South Africa, is unacceptable in all circ­ umstances .
