From dispossession to disappointment: neo- liberalism and South African land reform policy
(University of the Witwatersrand. History Workshop., 1999-09-18) Kariuki, Samuel; Van der Walt, Lucien
Land ownership in South Africa is inequitable and characterised by exploitative social relations. The land policy process represents the triumph of the dominant powerful groups, mainly the landowning classes. The concerns of ordinary rural people have been marginalised. The paper examines the processes that lead to the ANC's land reform policy.
"The industrial union is the embryo of the socialist commonwealth": The International Socialist League and revolutionary syndicalism in South Africa, 1915-1919
(1998-10-12) Van der Walt, Lucien
The outbreak of the First World War in Europe in August 1914 was a turning point in the history of the international socialist and radical labour movement. The war precipitated the collapse of the International Socialist Bureau (the "Second International") of socialist and labour parties, with almost all sections supporting the war efforts of their national governments. The only Second International groupings which proved exceptions to this general pattern -a violation of every basic tent of the international socialism, as well as the formal anti-war commitments of the Second International - were the Russian Bolsheviks, the Serbian socialists, and anti-war minorities in a few of the belligerent parties.
