Description: . SAED:SOCIAL:DRUM FEBRUARY 1952Ð A Day In The Beach Ð Look at those people out with the sharks!!. IÕd rather stay here and build sand castles. - There are thousands of Africans on the Reef and in the country who have never seen the sea; but to Africans, Coloureds and Indians in Durban there is a huge salt swimming bath and a sandy beach that is free for all, and for sharks too! You can see the sharks all too well sporting themselves in the sea by the Umgeni River, and bathers must keep between strict limits if they donÕt want their feet chopped off! But that doesnÕt stop children running down to the beaches whenever they can, paddling, diving, riding on the waves and standing on their heads. People in Durban say they have plenty of problems, but the sea washes most of them away! (Photograph by Jurgen Schadeberg © BAHA) NEG 039 FRAME 22

Description: SAED:SOCIAL:PERSONALITY:DRUM NOVEMBER 1953 - MAD? Is Catching! Ð One September day was exceptionally cold, freezingly cold, and the papers said thereÕd been snow in Bethal, just over a hundred miles away. I was passing through Norwood when I saw a sight that made me blink. I saw Benjamin Mopedi, and at first thought the extreme cold had contracted his height to 3 feet 11 inches Ð they taught me at school that cold makes objects contract. But on investigation I found out that Benjamin had been the same for all the 30 years of his life. Benjamin was a wine Ðsteward, an occupation heÕs held for 12 years! .(Photograph by Jurgen Schadeberg ©Baileys Archives) NEG 303 FRAME 5

Description: RWANDA, HUTU RESCUERS - In 1994 an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered over the course of nearly one-hundred days largely by two Hutu Militia following the death of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, whose plane was shot down over Kigali airport on 6 April 1994. These are the stories of Hutus who helped their fellow countrymen, the Tutsi, survive the Rwandan Genocide. Augustin Kanegeri, farmer, Lake Kivu: "The very first day that it happened, people died. Then all I saw was a bunch of people fleeing and looking for refuge in my house. I hid them and afterwards I helped them to flee. That’s what I did. I don’t know how many they were. I don’t know all of them but I do know many of them. I’d say 15 or 20 people that I know. A woman came to my home and asked to be let in. I asked the woman who was. She said her name was Odette. Then I asked her where she had been since the beginning of the assaults and she said she was hiding in a Hutu neigh

Description: 61 Mechanised Battalion heads west to Ruacana en route to Cunene Province in Angola in response to the Cuban advance southwards. 22 October 1988. 22 October 1988. A cloud of hot, powdery, dry dust kicked up by the red soil heralded my arrival at Anamulenge, then my favourite port of call and all-time favourite mission station. After some minutes one of the two priests stationed at the mission station would make an appearance. The Catholic priests, Father Volk and Father Huben, were warm, well-informed and happy to deal with some visitors. The businesslike sisters always hovered quiedy over the conversation. They said litde, preferring to smile kindly, speaking only in gende whispers. There was always a ritual that followed. Father Volk, once abducted into Angola with a group of students, would greet you warmly, immediately offering the coldest fresh lemonade in northern Namibia. In the distance you could hear the sounds of a choir rehearsing for Sunday, a baby goat bleating for its mother, the church bell calling for prayer. In the quiet expanse of the vast kitchen his voice echoed with the knowledge and dedication of a priest dedicated to his parish. It is safe to say that he knew everyone within a radius of 50 km, from the youngest child to the oldest woman. He knew every mother who had given birth, every father who had lost a son. He knew the weight of each child, their date of baptism, and kept track of the multiple incidents of war and contact between sw a po commandos and the Security Forces. Their sole concern then was the safety and security of their students. Huben and Volk fiercely protected their students, and at no time tolerated the presence of either side on church grounds. First came the gallons of cold water, then the lemonade, and later in his office a detailed briefing, followed by a botde of wine at sunset. The bottie was usually donated by some sympathetic parishioner, or sent to the priests by the mercy of God. At this time Volk spoke of the movements of convoys on the main road heading towards Ruacana and expressed his concern at the huge build-up of troops on the border to the west. Early morning the next day a distant rumble and whine of approaching Ratels could be heard. I rushed out in the car to the main road. I hesitated for some seconds and then raced ahead of the convoy. The commander of the lead vehicle eyed me nervously but said nothing. Neither did he wave me away. Some distance further at the shop of Johannes Andjamba under the monumental baobab tree, the convoy turned left into an open clearing where it spent the day on military exercise. The purpose of the convoy or the exercise was not clear. Some said the s a d f sent the convoys up and down the road to confuse American intelligence satellites, or SWAPO informants in the area. I rushed back to the mission station, fearing retribution. I packed my bag and left, with a very cold bottle of lemonade rolling on the passenger seat. We learned later of the full-scale South African artillery barrage of Techipa across the border, which was followed by a m íg attack on their own positions at Calueque. This convoy was therefore headed for Techipa for the attack on the Cubans. It was the last episode of fighting in Angola, as President PW Botha then gave the order to withdraw from Angola for good. Father Volk gave me a little card announcing the canonisation of Father Joseph Gerard in 1988 with a verse from the Bible calling for mercy and understanding. The card remains with me today.

Description: Sabotage of farm telephone lines by PLAN combatants, or was it SADF Special Forces? It was never clear ... but someone did not want a telephone call made to Oshakati. According to locals, attacks by p l a n combatants on SADF bases at Okatope, Okongo, Onesi and Okalongo had resulted in increased patrols by the s a d f . These were snapshots taken in the bush, relying heavily on the prejudice of soldiers. I often stopped my car when I saw soldiers on patrol. Some words in Afrikaans usually did the trick, reassuring the men that the pictures were for private use and not for some newspaper. I often came out with my well-rehearsed excuse that the pictures were for my parents to see. As long as they did not get on the radio and speak to Alpha 1 at Oshakati, all would usually be well.

Description: Bombing of classrooms at Mwala wa Nashilongo school by ‘unknown persons’ near Tsandi, Uukwaluudhi in western Owambo. In August 1988 SADF headquarters in Windhoek would report the destruction of classrooms and church buildings as the work of unknown men or forces. The heavy artillery shells usually exploded at night, and came from the direction of the s a d f base nearby. But this was usually denied. This was the period of the Winning Hearts and Minds (w h a m ) campaign 44 waged by the SADF . Instead of bringing SWAPO into disrepute, however, the shelling created a forum for n a n s o to lobby for the safety of students and an almost daily call for military bases to be removed from the vicinity of schools.
