    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.

  • Interview a Trip to See the Prince of Wales
    Interview A trip to see the Prince of Wales (S.1'. Bizley, with the help ofher sister N. W. Ormond, and with a postscript recorded in Eshowe. All as told to W.H. Bizley.) Remembering back seventy years, to the sensations and curiosities of a seven-year-old, is a rather different thing from keeping a diary in the style of' Mar), Moore. The following is an account of a somewhat composite journey, which, almost by challce, caught 'Prillcy' on his one-day visit to Eshowe. What a different world had come about in the 33 years since Mary Moore '.I journey. The Anglo-Boer War and the First World War had come and gone. In the Ullion of'South Af'rica, the last post-cart service ran, says Brian Godbold, in Mountains, Bullets and Blessings, (p. 74) - in 1921, from Izingolweni in Natal via Bizana and Lusikisiki, to Port St Johns. In 1923 Smuts was ousted, and the Nationalist-Labour 'pact' government came in. My mother, a married woman teacher, found herself out of a job. Our family set-up was such that she had to take temporary posts wherever she could find them. So we took up residence in Umzinto in 1924. The atmosphere was like the Southern United States - a bell rang at 3 a.m. to rouse up the labour and start the day on the Reynolds Brothers' Sugar Estate. I was seven at the time. Mr Leisegang - brother of a Norwegian mission­ ary, and the owner now of the general store, the butchery and the bakery in Umzinto - told my mother that, at the end of the year, a post would become available at the Teachers' Training College of the Umpumulo Mission, run by the Lutheran mission Society.
