Collectie NiZA: VIDEO-ITEMS UIT/OVER ZUIDELIJK AFRIKA Collection NiZA: VIDEO-ITEMS FROM/ON SOUTHERN AFRICA (April 2009) =================================================================== Come back Africa / dir. by Lionel Rogosin. - South Africa, Johannesburg ; USA, New York : Rogosin, 1960. - Video : VHS; 90 min. B/W picture Call number: BG V8/001 Keywords: * South Africa * migrant workers * apartheid system * labour relations * Sophiatown * rural-urban relations * history; 1945-1960 Summary: This classic documentary tells the story of Zachariah, a Zulu man who is driven from his rural home in Zululand to the shantytowns of Johannesburg to find work in the goldmines, and later in a variety of low payed jobs. The film offers a vivid view of the everyday life in Johannesburg's black community, contrasting Zachariah's docile, subservient behaviour on the job and as himself as a quiet, reserved person trying to survive. Using documentary and dramatic sequences, the film is a valuable document of the lives of black intellectuals, writers, journalists, and labourers, with Miriam Makeba making her screen debut in an unforgettable sequence in a shebeen in Sophiatown.

Keywords: * South Africa * KwaZulu-Natal * forced removals Summary: A profile of a large black farming community on the Natal north coast who are threatened by removal.

Made with the cooperation of the tribal elders,the film seeks to give them a voice in their struggle against removal from an area which has recently been discovered to have vast mineral resources.

Call number: BG V8/045 Keywords: * South Africa * apartheid system * land rights * Plaatje, Solomon Tshekisho (1876-1932) * history; 20th century Summary: Ellen Kuzwayo visits at the age of seventy, with her aunt Blanche Tsimatsima, aged 84, her birthplace, the family farm at Tsiamelo. Owned since the 1880s by her family, in 1974 Tsiamelo was called a 'black spot' in a white area and the farmland was taken awayfrom its black owners. Ellen Kuzwayo considers in some detail the protestations against the 1913 Native Land Act made to the British government by black South African representatives in the early twentieth century. The Act drastically limited the rights of Africans to own land and resulted in the eviction of one million black farmers. The documentary also looks at the life and resistance of the famous black nationalist leader, journalist and historian Sol T Plaatje. Extensive use is made of oral testimony, uncovering the history of apartheid in South Africa through interviews with those old enough to remember other times.

The filmmakers secretly follow the security forces as they seal of townships with razor wire and move in shooting. And the cameras keep rolling as the police viciously beat journalists who have been caught in a restricted area. But they also show how people sustain the struggle despite the overwhelming repression. We're introduced to some of the 600 organisations, trade unions and consumer boycotts which have mobilized millions. In the townships, street committees are replacing government puppet administrations. And the ANC, convinced that repression, not reform, will be the state's response to political demands, is strengthening its underground networks and multiplying its armed actions.

The central character, Rev Beyers Naudé, develops a systematic theology of resistance and liberation to oppose the theology that underlies apartheid, to which he subscribed as a young man. Naudé's autobiographical narrative of his fundamental political shift shows why it was so difficult for Afrikaners of the 1960s to break out of their racist ideology. The film symbolically indicates the psychic wilderness that Naudé had to traverse, never to return, or be allowed to return by his culture or group.

Ross Devenish. - South Africa, Johannesburg ; UK, London : Market Theatre Foundation ; BBC ; Portobello Productions, 1987(6). - : VHS; 60 min. The play is from 1986, the filmed version from 1987. English subtitles when necessary Call number: BG V8/099 Keywords: * South Africa * apartheid system * police informers * prisoners * prison staff * plays (form) * township revolt (1984-1986, South Africa) * state of emergency Summary: "Asinamali'' was written and directed by Mbongeni Ngema, the South African playwright whose other works include ''Woza Albert'' and ''Sarafina''. This version of ''Asinamali,'' produced by the BBC and Portobello Productions and directed by Ross Devenish, was filmed at Johannesburg's famed Market Theater. An enthusiastic audience that includes Winnie Mandela is seen at the beginning and end of the hour, but the play itself appears to have been recorded without an audience present. Five actors dominate the action: Solomzi Bisholo, Thami Cele, Bongani Hlophe, Bheki Mgadi and Boy Ngema. They grew up in the townships surrounding Johannesburg and, using speech, song, dance and mime, they recount the humiliation and horror of their lives, especially under the state of emergency. The playwright makes brief appearances as a Government official. ''Asinamali'' means ''nothing to lose.'' Explaining that he always approaches theater musically, Mbongeni Ngema has described his play as ''a piece of jazz that keeps changing its rhythm but always has the same tempo.'' Working on a small stage, bare except for a few props when needed, the barefoot, shaven-headed actors are dressed in simple shorts and short-sleeved shirts. Upset by the police killing of a local leader named Msize Dube, they begin telling their own stories, slipping in and out of several languages. Subtitles are used occasionally. They describe lives of constant uncertainty and humiliation. The movements and sounds are infectious, but this is no ingratiating entertainment. Throughout can be heard the rumble of genuine anger and rage. And there are warnings: ''The day will come when the hunter will become the hunted.'' Black informers will be eliminated without mercy, they warn. ''The power is ours,'' the performers shout, ''this is the day of reckoning.'' As both theater and television, ''Asinamali'' is a powerful document on the present state of South Africa.

The blacks are growing impatient: reforming apartheid can never be a solution, it must be

The three participants, Neville Alexander, Fikile Bam and Kwedi Mkalipi did 'time' together in the isolation section of Robben Island. They explain how the South African government inadvertently helped to build a closeness between diverse political groupings and individuals by holding them in a single section on Robben Island. They discuss how they survived emotional deprivation and social isolation and built solidarity and discipline in the early brutal years of their incarceration after 1964. This was done through establishing a prisoners' committee, and devising formal, informal and clandestine educational methods, which benefitted themselves and fellow prisoners, and eventually even the warders. Also attention is given to their relationships with Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu whom they describe as people with great dignity and strength.

The seven ages of music / dir. by Jürgen Schadeberg. – South Africa, Johannesburg : Schadeberg Movie Company, 1992. - Video : VHS; 56 min. Call number: BG V8/311 Keywords: * South Africa * music * history Summary: * The Seven Ages of Music is a free-wheeling celebration of the real music and the real musicians of South Africa, a high-energy testament to a community of men and women who took the best and the worst of life in a tormented land and turned it into music. The Seven Ages of Music traces the entertaining evolution of Africa's music from the rattle of drums by the light of a desert fire to the laid-back beat of Hugh Masekela, Dolly Rathebe and the Inkspots. It's a wild, wonderful, energetic history that spans centuries and draws in whole cultures ... there's the pennywhistlers who blow a cheap tin German flageolet and make it as African as Sophiatown ... there's a group of miners, fresh from the heat and the dust and the danger of the stope face, stamping their feet to the insistent Zulu rhythms ... there's the township bands with their improvised instruments. And then jazz is born in the shebeens and music halls of South Africa which inspires the likes of The Elite Swingsters, Jonas Gwangwa, Mike Makhalemele, Ntemi Piliso, Hugh Masekela and David Hewitt. A clumsy, staged pseudo documentary. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 311 Gay life is best / dir. by Zackie Achmat ; VNS. - South Africa, Cape Town : Idol Pictures, 1992. - Video : VHS; 25 min.

Call number: BG V8/337 Keywords: * South Africa * film art * film industry * films * cultural identity Summary: The documentary chronicles the artistic and political impact of cinema on black South Africa and documents its ambivalent role in the struggle against apartheid. Throughout most of South Africa's history, the only way an African could participate in the art of cinema was as spectator. There were few role models with whom they could identify. On the other hand, the gangsterism from the Hollywood films was suggestive of an alternative, however limited, to the structure of power under apartheid. Paradoxically, the first decade of apartheid saw the first stirrings of black cinema with African Jim. The Hollywood anti-apartheids movies are criticized because they placed whites at the centre of apartheid agony.This was changed with the South African picture Mapantsula, 1988, a co-operation between a white and a black director that depicts the lives of black South Africans. Also attention for the role of cinema in the liberation struggle. Remarks: Picture quality: goodenough * VZA 343 Albertina Sisulu / eindred. Dolf Reijmers ; research and prod.

Keywords: * South Africa * Cape Town * street children * living conditions * juvenile justice system * Pollsmoor Prison * detention Summary: Filmed on and off over a period of two years, this documentary explores the world of children and youth living on the streets of Cape Town. Many choose the street because their home lives were not bearable any more, the result of poverty, physical abuse, alcoholism and neglect. Forced to survive on handouts and petty crime, they are subject to the vagaries of weather, disease, substance abuse, harassment by officialdom, rape and various forms of exploitation by older gangsters. What street life offers them is some sort of companionship, with many forming substitute families, even though the violence amongst themselves is high. The camera is intimate with the children and youth and accompanies them on their daily routes to various locations.

With a camera on his shoulder, he engages with friends to discuss relationships, sex and love. Strong characters like Phumla and Timothy expose their emotions as they talk intimately about the realities of their street and the choises they have been forced to make. It's a rock and roll journey that reveals the gap between everyday life and the AIDS campaigns that often talk past the very people they are supposed to address. It is the recognition of the people's will to survive in the age of AIDS. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 481 In commemoration of dr.

Weinberg wordt niet voor niets omschreven als 'de hoffotograaf van het ANC', want hij moet vele honderden foto's geschoten hebben voor de beweging. In de documentaire passeren veel van deze foto's de revue, in het vroegere woonhuis van Weinberg. Weinberg was een uit de Baltische staten gevluchte jood, die vol hoop aankwam in Vrijheid, waar zijn oom woonde. Daar werd hij geconfronteerd met de dagelijkse praktijk van racisme en armoede. Hij sloot zich aan bij de communistische partij en werd aktief in een vakbond, waardoor hij een beroepsverbod kreeg. Hij begon een fotostudio in Johannesburg en werd al snel dé societyfotograaf van die stad. Maar via de achterdeur kwam de ANC top binnen om zich te laten fotograferen. Zijn werk bleef niet tot de studio beperkt: talloze straatscenes waarin de praktijk van apartheid pijnlijk zichtbaar werd zijn door hem vereeuwigd. Het accent van de documentaire ligt op zijn werk, de fotograaf zelf blijft goeddeels buiten beeld. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 508

Eenmaal in Zuid-Afrika moet hij vaststellen dat ook daar rassenongelijkheid de dagelijkse realiteit bepaalt, zij het dat het racisme ditmaal niet in de eerste plaats tegen de joodse minderheid is gericht, maar tegen de zwarte meerderheid. De film speelt zich grotendeels af in het vroegere huis van Weinberg in Johannesburg, waar zich zijn donkere kamer en portretstudio bevonden. Met tijdgenoten en nabestaanden, zoals Nelson Mandela, rechter Albie Sachs en dochter Sheila Weinberg, wordt het leven gereconstrueerd van een man die door zijn ervaringen met anti-semitisme en rassenwaan in Oost-Europa zijn ogen niet kon sluiten voor de dagelijkse realiteit in Zuid-Afrika. Weinberg ontwikkelt zich tot dé societyfotograaf van Johannesburg, een perfecte camouflage voor de andere kant van zijn fotografiepraktijk.

The title came from a song sung by the children of Dammert Street, Bellville South. Despite the joy of the singing, the song reflected children's understanding that things were far from perfect in the world as they experienced it. In the 52 minute video, children from four different communities - Bellville South, Ysterplaat, Khayelitsha (all in Cape Town) and Willows in present day North West Province - talk about things that affect their

lives: food, play, care, punishment, violence . and they dream about what they want to be one day. 10 years later, we go back to discover what has happened in their lives. The Devil Breaks My Heart - Ten Years Later is a unique opportunity to take four families from very different backgrounds - urban coloured; informal settlement African; urban white working class and rural African, and in a very personal way, investigate the impact of democracy on South Africa's children. We want to follow up on key children who appeared in the 1993 programme and explore how they have grown up in the new South Africa. The Devil Breaks My Heart - Ten Years Later, provides a unique opportunity to create a video snapshot of how a diverse group of ordinary young South Africans have experienced the journey from the eve of first democratic election in 1994 to today.

This was a forced displacement due to violence that, for almost a decade, engulfed Bhambayi, the village she lived in. It tore me apart to hear her lament about the loss. Therefore, when an opportunity arose to work on the 'Project 10' project, the idea crossed my mind. I wanted my aunt to find closure, healing and to be able to move on with life. Fortunately, this was possible because Bhambayi, which had gained notoriety for being a war zone ten years ago, has found its own closure. It is now a vibrant and peaceful place."

His love of opera music begins after a cousin gives him a casssette by Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, and his passion leads him from performing solo stints at open-air festivals to opening acts for established opera singers from nearby Cape Town and singing for council officials and academics in the city. But he is black, poor, one of six children, with an unemployed mother who is often absent. Elton's quest to become an acclaimed opera singer is set against the backdrop of his life as a teenager, being harrassed by the authorities (who think it 's just noise) and beaten by police, who prefer to retain foreign tourists at the expense of local black busters. He jumps at the chance to get voice-training lessons from a music professor, and then from Mthunzi, a professional opera singer from Cape Town, who encourages his protégé to find his own voice.

Young, homeless black South African children live on the streets of this impoverished neighborhood, inhabiting its dismal shantytowns and begging white South Africans for loose change. Some have run away from poor, neglectful homes, while others say they have grown restless with life in the dusty townships and crave the excitement of the streets. All of them have grown up to face the harsh realities of hunger and the struggle to survive long before their time. Adding to their problems, many of the children are also addicted to sniffing glue. Alone, totally dependent on their own rescources, they and many others like them fight against all odds for the fulfilment of their modest little dreams. But in their search for a happier life, they are in the process of losing what is left of their future. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 538 En Garde Mamelodi / samenst. en reg.

For these two female, hip-hop disc jockeys from rather conservative backgrounds, 1994 signalled the beginning of a journey to personal freedom. On the other hand, Tumelo's endearingly nostalgic father sees this as the point at which the youth became aware of their rights, causing society's values to crumble. In Mix, the tension between attaining personal freedom and satisfying family obligations is played out as an almost total communication breakdown between parents and daughter, between young and old, and between siblings. The tension is most palpable between parents' expectations and the young women's own values and ideals Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 540

But what distinguishes Miles and Nhlanhla is more than just the fact that one is seemingly successful and the other a victim of circumstances. They were born of a formidable matriarch whose extended family loves her dearly. In Mama Beatrice there is a life clearly overflowing, with evidence of a freedom claimed and lived long before she was 'allowed to'. Her values shape her children and their children's attitudes to life. The brothers are aware that they are two sides of the same spinning coin ultimately, one person's freedom is possible because of another's sacrifice.

The only child of a single mother in rural Venda, sickly Solly was brought up by his grandparents and nurses with a vision of becoming a soccer star. He turned his hand to coaching when a regular coach couldn't make a game, and found his niche coaching youngsters. When freedom came for South Africa in 1994, Solly reaped the benefits. The new football dispensation now searches for talent beyond the boundaries of the big cities, and black footballers' skills are finally being recognised. Solly is appointed assistant national coach for two South African teams and begins construction in his home village on a new house for his girlfriend and extended family. The dream appears complete but reality intrudes. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 543 Death of apartheid: the whites' last stand / ed. Dan Carter, Lynda J.

This was a forced displacement due to violence that, for almost a decade, engulfed Bhambayi, the village she lived in. It tore me apart to hear her lament about the loss. Therefore, when an opportunity arose to work on the 'Project 10' project, the idea crossed my mind. I wanted my aunt to find closure, healing and to be able to move on with life. Fortunately, this was possible because Bhambayi, which had gained notoriety for being a war zone ten years ago, has found its own closure. It is now a vibrant and peaceful place."

English subtitles Call number: BG V8/543 Keywords: * South Africa * Hermanus * children * classical music * social-economic conditions * arts education Summary: Elton Nkanunu is a black boy of 13 who sings opera in Hermanus, Western Cape, popular with tourists for whale sightings. His love of opera music begins after a cousin gives him a casssette by Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, and his passion leads him from performing solo stints at open-air festivals to opening acts for established opera singers from nearby Cape Town and singing for council officials and academics in the city. But he is black, poor, one of six children, with an unemployed mother who is often absent. Elton's quest to become an acclaimed opera singer is set against the backdrop of his life as a teenager, being harrassed by the authorities (who think it 's just noise) and beaten by police, who prefer to retain foreign tourists at the expense of local black busters. He jumps at the chance to get voice-training lessons from a music professor, and then from Mthunzi, a professional opera singer from Cape Town, who encourages his protégé to find his own voice.

Also on VZA 542 Call number: BG V8/543 Keywords: * South Africa * mothers * children * social differentiation Summary: The film explores the lives of Miles, the articulate, well-travelled and still upwardly mobile younger brother, and Nhlanhla, the older, more township-savvy brother who is unemployed and homebound. But what distinguishes Miles and Nhlanhla is more than just the fact that one is seemingly successful and the other a victim of circumstances. They were born of a formidable matriarch whose extended family loves her dearly. In Mama Beatrice there is a life clearly overflowing, with evidence of a freedom claimed and lived long before she was 'allowed to'. Her values shape her children and their children's attitudes to life. The brothers are aware that they are two sides of the same spinning coin - ultimately, one person's freedom is possible because of another's sacrifice.

The project resulted in a number of documentaries that provide often very personal portrayals of life in present-day South Africa. Call number: BG V8/544 Keywords: * South Africa * Western Cape * textile industry * factory workers * women * social-economic conditions * beauty contests Summary: The textile industry in Cape Town is driven by 86,000 people, mostly women who are often the sole wage earner in their families. Daily, they toil to make high quality garments that dress and uplift others. For one small part of the year, they get a chance to forget about their daily drudgery and celebrate their own beauty and elegant femininity by taking part in the annual Spring Queen pageant. Sponsored by the trade union, excitement grows as each contestant competes against colleagues from within the same company. We follow several contestants, including Beverley, from one of Cape Town's biggest companies as they learn to shimmy down the catwalk, lose their inhibitions, and to hold their own first, in front of their home crowd, and then before the whole industry. This uplifting documentary takes us through all aspects of the contestant's lives. We are completely caught up in the growing excitement, see their expectations, hear what their colleagues have to say, and share their disappointments and successes. We go to Beverley's home, meet her family, witness the company's indifference, see the pride of the worker's skill, and hear worker's growing concern about the uncertainty of the textile industry. Offset against the serious socio-economic reality of the worker's lives - made especially insecure since 1994, and the opening of international trade markets that has meant an influx of low quality import - Cinderella of the Cape Flats is a kaleidoscope of fun and frivolity, masking a new economic reality in silk and sequins.

She knows and shares with them the most intimate details of their lives. She laughs with them and cries with them. She gossips with them, cares about them, and gives them sound advice. She even puts them into their car and starts the engine so that their manicured nails don't get scuffed. To her clients, she is the best therapist around: rejuvenating both body and spirit.

English subtitles when necessary Call number: BG V8/545 Keywords: * South Africa * democratisation * social-economic conditions * youth Summary: In 1993, on the eve of South Africa's transition to democracy, Zackie Achmat and Jack Lewis made "Die Duiwel Maak My Hart So Seer". The title came from a song sung by the children of Dammert Street, Bellville South. Despite the joy of the singing, the song reflected children's understanding that things were far from perfect in the world as they experienced it. In the 52 minute video, children from four different communities - Bellville South, Ysterplaat, Khayelitsha (all in Cape Town) and Willows in present day North West Province - talk about things that affect their lives: food, play, care, punishment, violence . and they dream about what they want to be one day. 10 years later, we go back to discover what has happened in their lives. The Devil Breaks My Heart - Ten Years Later is a unique opportunity to take four families from very different backgrounds - urban coloured; informal settlement African; urban white working class and rural African, and in a very personal way, investigate the impact of democracy on South Africa's children. We want to follow up on key children who appeared in the 1993 programme and explore how they have grown up in the new South Africa. The Devil Breaks My Heart - Ten Years Later, provides a unique opportunity to create a video snapshot of how a diverse group of ordinary young South Africans have experienced the journey from the eve of first democratic election in 1994 to today.

Vuya is in crisis and is convinced that Sipho knows the truth about his biological parents. Sipho returns to Cape Town to help his brother. Simultaneously Sipho decides that it's time to perform the ceremony that announces to his clan his own circumcision. Sipho was circumcised on Robben Island, but has subsequently failed to perform the ceremony - a fact that has been plaguing him for years. Directed by Sipho's wife, this is an intimate journey into the heart of a traditional family being challenged by the contradictions of modernity and tradition.

For these two female, hip-hop disc jockeys from rather

conservative backgrounds, 1994 signalled the beginning of a journey to personal freedom. On the other hand, Tumelo's endearingly nostalgic father sees this as the point at which the youth became aware of their rights, causing society's values to crumble. In Mix, the tension between attaining personal freedom and satisfying family obligations is played out as an almost total communication breakdown between parents and daughter, between young and old, and between siblings. The tension is most palpable between parents' expectations and the young women's own values and ideals Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 551 Through the eyes of my daughter / dir. by Zulfah Otto-Sallies. - South Africa, Cape Town : O'dacity Films, 2004. - Video : VHS; 50 min. . - (Project 10).

Andacht voor Township tours in Langa, een township bij Kaapstad. Gekeken wordt naar de slechte woonomstandigheden voor zwarten in hostels, waar drie gezinnen in één kamer moeten wonen. Voor wie de townships nog te gevaarlijk wordt wordt er door blanke ondernemers een namaak-shebeen gebouwd in het centrum van Kaapstad. Ook de San zijn een toeristische trekpleister in het Kalahari Gemsbokpark, waar toeristen met camera's door hun huizen banjeren om de 'bijna uitgestorven San' (zoals ze aangeprezen worden) op foto of video vast te leggen. Er is ook meer ruimte voor de sex-industrie in het nieuwe Zuid-Afrika, al is nog niet altijd duidelijk wat wel en niet wordt toegestaan. Verder aandacht voor de etnische vooroordelen die de diverse ethnische groepen over elkaar koesteren; en aandacht voor informal settlements, waar ook twee blanke jongens hun intrek hebben genomen (goedkoop), wat door veel blanken niet geaccepteerd wordt.

Maar het park is veranderd in een community-based development project, dat de lokale bevolking bij het beheer wil betrekken en in de inkomsten wil laten delen, en ook de landrechten van de Nama erkent.

In Pietersburg denkt burgemeester Pretorius dat hij op de goede weg is, er wordt al vergadert samen met zwarten uit de township, en die vergaderingen verlopen heel ordelijk. Wel denkt hij dat de beelden/schilderijen van Verwoerd, Vorster, Botha en de Klerk die nu nog het gemeentehuis sieren naar een museum moeten tegen de tijd dat er een zwarte burgemeester komt. Michael Mushwana, zwarte townshipbewoner en toekomstig raadslid vindt dat er wat betreft racisme nog niets veranderd is. In Franschhoek zetelt de eerste gekleurde burgemeester van Zuid-Afrika, Frankie Arendse, sinds 1993. Hij heeft het wel zwaar gehad en zou het een goed idee vinden als de conservatiefste blanken die niet aan het nieuwe Zuid-Afrika willen meewerken na de verkiezingen emigreren. In Johannesburg is een blank joods echtpaar de koffers aan het pakken: vanwege het geweld en vanwege wantrouwen in een zwarte meerderheidsregering. Van Zyl Slabbert, voorzitter van de Metropolitaanse kamer in Johannesburg, waar blank en zwart al drie jaar overleggen hoe Soweto administratief geïntegreerd moet worden met Johannesburg, benadrukt dat de integratie op lokaal niveau gestalte moet krijgen: dr worden de waterkranen en toiletten aangelegd en merken de mensen het eerste iets van veranderende levensomstandigheden. Ook nog aandacht voor de politie en vredessecretariaten die de burgers zelf oprichten om aan het geweld een einde te maken.

Biko's message inspired a generation. He is portrayed in the film is as a charismatic leader in the model of Martin Luther King. But though the film does tell Biko's story, it is essentially aimed at white audiences and as such concerns itself more with the story of Donald Woods. Woods, played by Kevin Kline, was part of a group of progressive South African journalists which helped establish truthful and objective press, exposing the crimes of apartheid. Cry Freedom tells the story of how Woods' friendship with Biko roused his political
163
consciousness. Woods eventually had to flee to Lesotho on New Year's Eve 1977, dressed as a priest, after Biko's death. Biko died from brain injuries after 21 days in police detention.The movie divided South Africa commentators. Some said that Woods, portrayed in the film as a prominent member of the white liberal establishment, would have been a target for Biko's campaigns. Others wondered why a film that was supposed to tell the story of a black civil rights leader focused so much on his white friend. But most agreed that the film, particularly the scenes of schoolchildren uprising in Soweto, packed a powerful emotional punch.

In his opinion the most suprising change is the widening class division among the blacks. Though there is a growing black middle class, the poorest have only got poorer. Still 75% of the population is living in township-ghetto's or worse.Maclear is also shocked by the fact that there is still no contact between the different ethnic groups. Most whites claim they are optimistic about the future, but among the farmers the
165
greatest fear is land expropriation. Remarks: Picture quality: good * VZA 582 Zaterdag is voor de doden / Lies Niezen, Lee-Ann Cotton ; Tegenlicht. - Nederland, Amsterdam : VPRO ; Selfmadefilms, 2006. - Video : VHS; 50 min. Dutch subtitles Call number: BG V8/577 Keywords: * South Africa * Soweto * HIV/AIDS * HIV/AIDS medicines * poverty * funerals * graves * black economic empowerment * youth * sex education Summary: Zuid-Afrika telt ca. 46 miljoen inwoners. Aangenomen wordt dat op dit moment 6.3 miljoen Zuid-Afrikanen HIV-besmet zijn, in 2003 bedroeg dat aantal nog 5.3 miljoen. Jaarlijks sterven ca. 350.000 Zuid-Afrikanen aan de gevolgen van Aids. Hierdoor floreert de begrafenisindustrie en barsten de begraafplaatsen uit hun voegen. Verreweg de meeste begrafenissen vinden op zaterdag plaats omdat de familie het zich niet kan veroorloven op een werkdag vrijaf te nemen. Alleen al op Avalon, de oudste en grootste begraafplaats van Soweto, gaan er iedere zaterdag zo'n 800 doden de grond in. Duizenden mensen trekken dan door de poort en er spelen zich steevast chaotische taferelen af. Insiders zeggen dat Avalon eind 2006 vol zal zijn. Alleen in Soweto zijn er al meer dan honderd begrafenisondernemers. Met twee van hen maken we in de film nader kennis: Elizabeth Molefe is eigenares van Rebafeti Funeral Parlour, een klein bedrijf dat slechts vier begrafenissen per week afhandelt. Bafana Sihlali is manager van Kay Vee Funeral Home, zijn zaak loopt als een trein. Op een normale zaterdag verzorgt hij zo'n 80 uitvaarten. Met hulp van goede relaties sloot Sihali bovendien een lucratief contract met de overheid af om de talrijke naamloze Aids-doden te begraven. Deze paupers zijn veelal verstoten vanwege het Aids stigma of werden door familieleden niet geclaimd omdat die de begrafenis niet kunnen betalen. De lijken worden door Sihlali opgehaald bij de mortuaria van ziekenhuizen en politiebureaus. Hij verdient 395 Rand (ca. 50 Euro) per overledene. Niet slecht voor een begrafenis die in feite niet meer behelst dan het graven en vullen van een gat in de grond. De Zoeloe-meisjes Minky (16) en Peaches (17) belichamen in de film de jonge generatie van Soweto. Het lijkt onvermijdelijk dat zij gezien hun riskante leefwijze en de gebrekkige voorlichting op termijn aanleiding zullen zijn tot weer een begrafenis op Avalon.

Call number: BG V8/578 Keywords: * South Africa * jazz * history; 1960s * Mamelodi Summary: Come on a journey to the root of Malombo music, and to the emergence in 1964 of The Malombo Jazz Men, who are now in their late sixties but still producing music and challenging the public to listen up. Abbey Cindi, Julian Bahula and Philip Tabane, by creating the Malombo sound, established Africa once again as the seed core of international jazz, and inspired a generation of musicians to follow in their footsteps. Vusi Mahlasela, now an international star in his own right, makes a personal performance and talks freely of his influence from Malombo music, "we must touch the past to connect to the present so we can make love to the future." Witness the rise to international fame of Philip Tabane, who reaches new acclaim as each new decade dawns. In 1998, he became known as 'Dr Malombo', after being awarded an honorary
166
doctorate in the philosophy of music, and in the same year won the prize for best single at the South African Music Awards. Follow the journey of Julian Bahula, to a life of exile in England, and the formation of 'Jabula ' a band that fused the African spirit of Malombo music with the London jazz scene. Visit the township of Mamelodi, to find Abbey Cindi, battling to pay his rent, but still playing with a deep down soul that typifies the spirit of Malombo music. "There is no comfort for musicians," says Abbey, "especially Jazz musicians." Venture into the garages and halls of townships around Pretoria to see young musicians groomed by Abbey Cindi and by frequent visitor Julian Bahula. Share the moment as Philip Tabane, plays with his son Thabang, and as Doctor Malombo enthralls the audience at the Freedom Park in Mamelodi on a stage set alight by Moss Mogale, a guitarist who has followed in Tabane's footsteps and created his own inimitable jazz sound.

German subtitles Call number: BG V8/582 Keywords: * South Africa * extrajudicial killing * Truth and Reconciliation Commission * post-traumatic stress disorder * death rituals * women Summary: It is ten years since the last vestiges of apartheid's political regime were dismantled. For the average South African, the notion of struggle has been all too quickly relegated to the question of which cellular network is better than the next. But for Thandi (Pamela Nomvete Marimbe), a journalist suffering from writer's block, a more profound struggle continues to rage within. Living in a nation that seems too eager to forget its past, Thandi cannot
167
shake the gnawing sense of guilt that continues to alienate her from her own family. Her estranged thirteen-year-old daughter Mangi, who is deaf and dumb as a result of the beatings Thandi received while in police captivity during her pregnancy, remains closest to Thandi's mother and ex-husband. Thandi's colleague Mike was killed after they were both imprisoned by the police for witnessing the murder of a young female activist named Dineo, and the images of Dineo's clenched fist, Mike's gruesome death and her own torture still haunt her. As frustration mounts and communication between Thandi and Mangi breaks down, the ghosts begin to surface. When Dineo's mother appears, asking for Thandi's help in locating her daughter's body so that she can lay it to rest, Thandi must revisit her own past in order to bury it at last. This means tracing the three policemen responsible for her death and the disposal of her remains. Me'Tau has already found one who runs a rural shop and denies any involvement. Meanwhile the three begin a campaign of intimidation to stop her search. First they leave a picture of Dineo at Me'Tau's home as a warning. Then they run a car carrying Moola (Mangi's father) and Mangi off the road killing Moola while Mangi escapes uninjured. The film ends with the bodies of freedom fighters recovered from shallow graves receiving formal rites. There is no final settling of scores, but there is the beginning of recognition of the sacrifice made by so many. Meanwhile, Mangi is hoping to knit the family back together through the traditional collage or "Zulu love letter" she painstakingly and secretly - stitches for her mother.

German comment and voice-over Call number: BG V8/585 Keywords: * South Africa * Oppenheimer, Ernest (1880-1957) * Oppenheimer, Harry (1908-2000) * Oppenheimer, Nicholas (Nicky) (1945- ) * Oppenheimer, Jonathan (1970?- ) * De Beers * Anglo-American * diamond mining * diamond trade Summary: Als der junge Ernst Oppenheimer aus dem hessischen Friedberg sich im Jahr 1890 entschlieát, nach England auszuwandern, ahnt er nicht, dass er 30 Jahre später an der Spitze eines der mächtigsten Kartelle der Welt stehen wird: des Diamantenkonzerns De Beers in Südafrika. Mit enormem Fleiá, einem genialischen Gespür für die Marktmacht edler Steine und einer Portion deutsch-jüdischer Chuzpe gelingt es ihm, seine britischen und burischen Konkurrenten, die im südlichen Afrika nach Diamanten schürfen, auszustechen. Seitdem beherrscht der Familienclan der Oppenheimers den weltweiten Diamantenmarkt bereits in der vierten Generation, auáerdem ist die Familie am Gold- und Edelmetallkonzern Anglo American maágeblich beteiligt. Schätzungen über ihr Privatvermögen schwanken zwischen vier und sechs Milliarden Dollar. Der Film beschreibt den sagenhaften Aufstieg Ernst Oppenheimers, der Brite wurde und sich fortan Ernest nannte, und seines Sohns Harry, der den Konzern zu seiner heutigen Gröáe und Macht ausbaute. Er zeigt, mit welch ausgefeilter Strategie Vater und Sohn ihr Edelsteinkartell gegen mächtige Widerstände verteidigten und ideologische Bollwerke überwanden. Mit dem kommunistischen Todfeind des Apartheid-Staates, der UdSSR, machten sie auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Krieges einträgliche Geschäfte. Die USA eroberte De Beers mit dem Slogan "A Diamond is Forever" und mit Marilyn Monroes Auftritt in dem Film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". Die Wende zur Anti-Apartheid-Politik schaffte der Konzern mühelos, weil sich Harry Oppenheimer stets öffentlich gegen die Apartheid ausgesprochen und sich in einer Partei dagegen engagiert hatte. Die rassistischen Machthaber wagten nicht, ihn und den Konzern deswegen anzugreifen. Nach der Wende in Südafrika verzichtete Nelson Mandela trotz Drängens durch den ANC darauf, DeBeers zu verstaatlichen. Heute führen Enkel Nicky und Urenkel Jonathan Oppenheimer gemeinsam den Konzern und dirigieren über ihr Londoner Verkaufsbüro DTC (Diamond Trading Corporation, vorher CSO) den weltweiten Handelsstrom der edlen Steine. Die Oppenheimers leben zurückgezogen in ihrem schlossähnlichen Familiensitz Brenthurst in Johannesburg. Remarks: Picture quality: ? * VZA 591 Auf Spurensuche in der Kalahari / reg.

Ik heb de rollen verward. In de jaren van de apartheid was ik met het Verenigd Democratisch Front vooral politiek bezig, maar het was toch wat anders om een soort partijmannetje te worden.

er dit jaar meer aandacht voor landmijnen dan ooit tevoren: de akties van Lady Diana zijn aangeslagen, de nobelprijs voor de vrede is naar een anti-landmijnencampagne gegaan en er is een internationaal verdrag tegen landmijnen ondertekend. Toch is de praktijk in het mijnenveld van Angola wat cynischer: de directeur van het Rode Kruis in Angola, François de la Roche, heeft bij het bezoek van Diana aan een kliniek in Angola bewust een éénbenig meisje als mijn-slachtoffer gepresenteerd, terwijl het meisje door andere oorzaken haar been was kwijtgeraakt. Maar, goed voor de donorgelden.... Ook de generaal die het Angolese mijnenprogramma leidt, Helder Cruz, is zelf vóór het leggen van mijnen om UNITA te bestrijden. Nederland vertrouwt hem niet en heeft de belofte van 37 DAF-Trucks voor het mijnopruimingsprogramma weer teruggedraaid. Ook het Nederlandse bedrijf IDAS, eigenlijk een commercieel mijnopruimingsbedrijf, heeft als side-job een van de grootste buitenlandse diamantmijnconcessies losgekregen, in het gebied van UNITA, waar ze de boel door een PMC van 250 man laten bewaken.

With Dutch subtitles Call number: BG V8/622 Keywords: * DRC * elections * Independent Electoral Commission * voter registration * Belgium * UN * infrastructure * corruption * theft Summary: Vijfenveertig jaar heeft Kongo moeten wachten op vrije verkiezingen. Dit jaar was het eindelijk zover: er konden verkiezingen georganiseerd worden. Maar voordat er gestemd kan worden, moeten er kiezers geregistreerd en stemcomputers geïnstalleerd worden en moet alles naar de verste uithoeken van het land gebracht worden. Met hulp van de VN, de EU en België wordt met frisse moed begonnen. Een Belgisch bedrijf verscheept de computers, de printers, de fotoapparatuur en de knowhow vanuit Oostende naar Kinshasa. Daar wordt alles uitgeladen en... daar beginnen ook de moeilijkheden. Digitale verkiezingen blijken een stuk lastiger te organiseren in Kongo dan de Belgen (nb !) verwachtten. Computers en laptops hebben de meeste mensen nog nooit gezien, laat staan dat ze er mee hebben leren omgaan. Corruptie is alom tegenwoordig, bijna alle apparatuur wordt misbruikt en gestolen en de infrastructuur hapert aan alle kanten of ontbreekt volledig. Budgetten moeten verdrievoudigd worden en iedereen moet improviseren. En er moet niet alleen in de hoofdstad gestemd kunnen worden, maar ook in de binnenlanden van Kongo. Dus moet het hele verkiezingsapparaat en het circus dat erbij hoort vervolgens over kapotte, hobbelige wegen naar plekken worden gebracht waar zelfs het voedsel ontbreekt voor de installateurs en de verkiezingsbegeleiders. In Tegenlicht een portret van de poging om verkiezingen en digitaal stemmen mogelijk te maken in Kongo. Een land waar de democratische wil groot is, maar de dagelijkse praktijk een stuk weerbarstiger blijkt.

In december worden ze naar Buta overgebracht. Als in 1965 het Congolese leger met wat blanke huurlingen Buta nadert, raken de Simba's in paniek en vermoorden 31 missionarissen, waaronder 14 Nederlanders. Interviews met overlevenden, met Etienne Davignon, in die jaren kabinetschef van de Belgische minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Henry Spaak en belast met Congo (verantwoordelijk voor de Belgische militaire actie in Stanleystad waarbij 500 blanken gered werden; Bondo was te ver weg voor een verassingsaanval).

Call number: BG V8/626 Keywords: * DRC * Kinshasa (city) * church and society * African independent churches * poverty Summary: Was kann man vom Leben erwarten, wenn man in einem Land geboren wird, das an Krieg, Krankheiten, Korruption und dem Egoismus der Machthaber zugrunde geht? Allenfalls ein Wunder! Die Demokratische Republik Kongo ist solch ein Land. Und Wunder werden täglich von so genannten Heilungskirchen in Aussicht gestellt. Diese neuen Kirchen, auch Erweckungskirchen genannt, sind eine Mischung aus christlicher Erweckungsbewegung und traditionellem afrikanischen Volksglauben. Nur in Kinshasa gibt es schon 8000 verschiedene. Sie werden von Pastoren, Propheten oder messianischen Aposteln mit uneingeschränkter Autorität geleitet. Die Mehrheit der Kongolesen gehört einer dieser Kirchen an, die unter anderem Genesung von unheilbaren Krankheiten, Visa für Europa oder sofortigen Wohlstand versprechen. Die gröáten dieser Glaubensgemeinschaften verfügen sogar über eigene Fernsehsender, die sich wachsender Beliebtheit erfreuen. Der Dokumentarfilm führt nach Kinshasa in die unglaubliche Welt dieser Kirchen, deren Zulauf ebenso groá ist wie das Elend der Bevölkerung. Auf die Naivität und Verzweiflung der Gläubigen antworten die Fernsehevangelisten in tragikomischen Reden mit einer Mischung aus Zynismus, Gröáenwahn und Realitätsferne. Auch der Einfluss auf der Politik wird sichtbar gemacht; so ist zB Vice-Präsident Ruwerba als 'Prophet' zu bewundern.

Last five minutes are missing Call number: BG V8/628 Keywords: * Botswana * San (people) * Kalahari desert * hunter-gatherers * hunting and gathering * traditional culture * traditional religions Summary: The documentary feature follows a group of !Xo San in the central Kalahari, focusing on the unique relationship between their lifestyle, the land and the animals they hunt. Hunting is fundamental to their culture, and in the film we develop this issue, culminating in "the chasing hunt" where they have to "take over" the animal's mind in this ancient battle of human-animal endurance. This is the first time that anyone has photographed, filmed and documented in such detail, firsthand, this process where the "hunter becomes the hunted". Innovative mini-cam techniques, where cameras are mounted on animals, were specially developed for the film, giving the viewer unique points-of-view of both the hunter and the hunted in an effort to understand their ancient relationship. Our eyes are opened to their mastery of tracking and their holistic way of assessing so many different signs that are invisible to the outsider. Through the three central characters, !Nqate, Karoha and Xlhoase, the harshness and beauty of the world's largest expanse of sand, the Kalahari, is exposed. Moreover, we show how the poverty of their material existence stands in stark contrast to the wealth of their indigenous knowledge.

Aflevering over Botswana, waar Festus Mogae de derde president sinds de onafhankelijkheid is. Economisch gaat het goed dankzij de diamantmijnen, die door een joint-venture tussen de regering en De Beers gewonnen worden. Verder is er ook een veeteelt industrie, en wat ecotoerisme in de Okavango delta, maar dan is het snel gedaan met de werkgelegenheid. Werkeloosheid is een groot probleem in dit land, dat als een van de weinige landen zonder buitenlandse schuld geldt. Het andere probleem is HIV/AIDS: hoewel de gezondheidszorg (net als het onderwijs) gratis is, is er geen geld voor Aids-remmers, en concentreert de regeing zich op preventieve zorg en thuiszorg.

Dan vertrekt hij naar Burkina Faso, waar hij in een grensplaatsje met Ivoorkust getuigenverklaringen laat opstellen van kinderen die geronseld zijn om als slaaf op de plantages te werken, en praat hij met de minister van mensenrechten Monique Ilboudo, die de nadruk legt op de industrie die haar leveranciers onder druk moet zetten en betere prijzen moet betalen.

Het doel is om een 100% slaafvrije reep bij de filmpremière aan te bieden. Hij gaat onderhandelen met Max Havelaar en Fair Trade, die in eerste instantie toezeggen om mee te doen en de reep ook in de supermarkt te krijgen. Hij reist naar de USA om met congressman Eliot Engel te praten, die de chocoladereuzen in 2001 dwong het Harkin-Engelprotocol te tekenen, waarin ze beloven dat in juni 2005 hun plantages slaafvrij zullen zijn. Engel gelooft niet dat de industrie zich heeft ingespannen om de deadline te halen. Ook spreekt hij met ijsfabrikant Ben & Jerry's, die bekend staan om hun sociale invalshoek, en weet ze te enthousiasmeren om een 100% slavefree chocloadeijsje te produceren voor de filmpremière. Als vervolgens Max havelaar, Fair Trade en Ben & Jerry's afhaken, besluit hij zelf in België 1000 kilo repen te bestellen bij een leverancier die zegt slaafvrij geproduceerde cacao te gebruiken. Maar als hij dat wil checken bij de firma Barry Callebaut, die de vloeibare cacao levert, doen die heel verdacht en weigeren met hem te praten.

Met haar boeken 'De Stille Overname' en 'IOU, het gevaar van de internationale schuldenlast' werd ze een spreekbuis van de internationale protestbeweging. In een permanente lobby voor een eerlijkere mondiale verdeling van de rijkdom is haar doel niet alleen om als wetenschapper oplossingen te vinden, maar ook om het onderwerp op de publieke en politieke agenda te houden. In 'Noreena's Agenda' zien we Noreena Hertz in gesprek met Bono, Bob Geldof, President Benjamin Mkapa van Tanzania, de Finse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Tuomioja en met TNT topman Peter Bakker. In haar zoektocht naar een oplossing voor het armoedeprobleem tast ze alle partijen af, waarbij ze fungeert als bemiddelaar en raadgever. In Tegenlicht een blik in de arena van de armoedebestrijding, waar popsterren politici blijken te zijn, activisten onderhandelaars, academici beroemdheden, en waar verrassend genoeg er ook voor het bedrijfsleven een grote rol blijkt te zijn weggelegd.

Call number: BG V8/676 Keywords: * Africa * journalism * freedom of the press * multi-party politics * one-party systems * journalists Summary: In recent years several African countries have experienced a change from a single-party system to a multi-party system. For the media this has far reaching consequences. During single-party regimes there were only a few media, owned and controlled by the state. Freedom of expression was practically non-existent. Liberalisation however changed things drastically. Journalists, officials and the audience will have to get used to a new press situation. This gives two examples: that of Tanzania, with Uhuru newspaper, and Malawi, with The Nation.

Dat motief luidde, dat er in verband met de marketing van zo'n actie nog over onvoldoende beelden wordt beschikt". Hans Fels en Gys Zevenbergen zetten de camera neer in het dorpje Belo in Ethiopië en filmden in één shot van 49 minuten het relaas van de dorpsbewoners: droogte, honger, vee dood, kinderenziek en geen geld voor de dokter, geen hulp of te weinig, en blanke cameraploegen die de ellende fotograferen en filmen en dan vertrekken zonder dat het de bewoners ook maar iets oplevert.

Keywords: * East Africa * western world * films * history * society and culture * environmental conservation * cultural identity Summary: A documentary about how Africa was depicted in film in the West. In the 1910s it started with wildlife documentaries, a genre that would stay popular throughout. Famous couples spent many years in (mainly east-) Africa, like Martin and Osa Johnson in the 1920s and Armand Denis & wifein the 1940s. The latter switched to television when that era started. On the BBC they broadcasted 105 documentaries: "On Safari". In the 1960 the emphasis shifted towards environmental issues: the risk of extinction becomes clearer and clearer, and for filmers like Simon Trevor it becomes the main theme. In the mean time Hollywood was exploiting the dark image of Africa that was inherited from the 19th century. In 1914 The lion hunter/ E.A. Martin, and in 1923 Roughest Africa/ Ralph Cedar stressed the "exotic" character of the continent, and the great game hunting that was possible. In 1929 Trader Horn, by W.S.van Dyke was the first feature film shot in Africa by MGM. A huge expedition was organised to realise this project. The big, strong, white, male hunter, one who was capable of managing the dangers of that black continent, stayed a popular character in Hollywood movies, of which many also were influenced by Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of darkness".

Gekeken wordt naar de goudwinning rond Bunia. De staatsmijn Kilomoto, overblijfsel uit de koloniale tijd, wordt geleid door generaal Bokana, uit de kliek rond Mobutu. De mijn is zwaar verwaarloosd en de mijnwerkers hebben al achttien maanden geen loon ontvangen; aandacht voor de (vaak illegale) goudwinning door Congolezen, waaronder steeds meer vrouwen, vanwege de slechte sociaal-economische situatie in het land; de nieuwe particuliere goudmijn KIMIN, voor 50% in handen van de Belgen, met de Wereldbank en een aantal particuliere investeerders als voornaamste geldschieters, maar ook deelname van Kilomoto: de slechte betalingen van onderwijzers, leraren en journalisten, die er vaak een baan bij moeten hebben, of zelf hun voedsel moeten verbouwen; de verbetering van het wegennet, sinds dat door particuliere bedrijven (in opdracht van de Wereldbank) wordt gedaan, en het verwaarloosde ziekenhuis van Mongbwalu, dat door KIMIN opgeknapt moet gaan worden; "succesvol ondernemer" Bemba Saolana, ook uit de Mobutu-kliek, mag opscheppen over zijn maatschappij SCIBE-Zaïre (de Belgische journalisten zijn telkens erg verbaasd als ze een Congolees ontmoeten die eigen initiatief toont); initiatieven van ouders die zelf een lagere school voor hun kinderen bouwen en de salarissen van directeur en onderwijzers opbrengen; en de rol van de katholieke kerk in het land wordt belicht. Gevolgd door een interview met de maker, Walter Zinzen, waarin aandacht voor de contracten die het Belgische Petrofina met Mobutu heeft afgesloten ("komen de oude tijden weer terug?"); wat er gebeuren gaat met de uitkomsten van de Nationale Conferentie; en speculaties over waarom de USA Mobutu nog steeds steunen.

Jaime de Bourbon Parme reist door Sierra Leone, Liberia en Congo en laat zien dat veel oorlogen niet alleen door conflictgrondstoffen worden gefinancierd, maar dat die grondstoffen ook vaak de oorzaak van de conflicten zijn. Jaime praat in Monrovia met Daniel Chea, minister van defensie, ook onder Charles Taylor, die erg trots is zelf aan het front te hebben gevochten, 250.000 slachtoffers niet veel vindt, en twintig jaar oorlog kort; in Sierra Leone te horen krijgt dat de burgeroorlog om diamanten draaide; en in de DRC van de VN commandant voor Oost-Congo, Patrick Cammaert, te horen krijgt dat ook daar alles om economische belangen draait en het goud naar Uganda verdwijnt in ruil voor wapens. Ook het verhaal van de Nederlander Guus Kouwenhoven, met zijn houthandel Oriental Timber Company in Buchanan, Liberia,waar hij wapens voor Taylor smokkelde en zijn werknemers inzette in de oorlog, in ruil voor hout-concessies (waar hij in Nederland voor veroordeeld werd). Germain Kongolo, vice-president van Forrest Mining Company, vertelt in de DRC dat het normaal is dat de 'legitieme' regering de opbrengsten uit mijnbouw gebruikt voor de defensie.

Jaime de Bourbon Parme reist door Sierra Leone, Liberia en Congo en laat zien dat veel oorlogen niet alleen door conflictgrondstoffen worden gefinancierd, maar dat die grondstoffen ook vaak de oorzaak van de conflicten zijn. In Liberia blijkt na de vrede het land verdeeld te zijn tussen de verschillende rebellengroeperingen; zo is de haven van Monrovia bijvoorbeeld in handen van LURD, en de houtconcessies zijn weer toebedeeld aan een andere partij. In Sierra Leone mag een diamanthandelaar die al vijftig jaar in het vak zit vertellen over hoe leuk hij het vindt. In Koidu, centrum van de diamantwinning, en tijdens de oorlog in handen van het RUF, draait in het het lokale bioscoopje de wel héél toepasselijke film "Blood Diamonds". Desmond da Silva, aanklager van het Speciaal Gerechtshof in Freetown, klaagt over de cultuur van 'impunity'. Misschien is het daarom dat het hof nog niemand veroordeeld heeft. Zainab Bangura is directeur van de National Accountability Group en vertelt dat dezelfde mensen die tijdens de oorlog de diamanthandel beheersten, weer terug zijn, voor zover ze ooit zijn weggeweest. Ze wil geen namen noemen omdat a] iedereen wel weet wie dat zijn, en b] het veel te gevaarlijk is om namen te noemen. In Congo de koper en kobalt mijnen in Katanga. De grote staatsmijnen liggen stil, de mijnwerkers zijn ontslagen en de winstgevende onderdelen zijn door corrupte politici verpatst aan particuliere bedrijven. Een ingenieur van Forrest lijkt de enige die gelukkig is met de situatie. Het lijkt erop dat iedereen behalve de Congolese bevolking profiteert van de bodemschatten van het land. Petronille Waweka, regeringscommissaris in Ituri, reageert dan ook vermoeid op de vragen van Jaime: hij vraagt naar de bekende weg.

Deze aflevering gaat over het beheer van het Omo National Park in zuid-west Ethiopië, dat door African Parks voor 25 jaar geadopteerd is. Het ligt erg afgelegen en iedere vorm van infrastructuur ontbreekt. Eerst moeten de lokale stammen zoals de Mursi, de Nyangatom en de Surma, ingelicht worden over de plannen. Zij laten hun vee in het park grazen en zijn bang dat African Parks dit wil verbieden. De boodschap van African Parks, "wij zijn goede mensen, je kunt ons vertrouwen", wordt niet voldoende geacht: ze willen echte verdragen waarin hun rechten gewaarborgd zijn.

Hij concludeert dat er een verband bestaat en publiceert zijn bevindingen in 1999 in het boek 'The river'.Zijn theorie wordt ondersteund door gezaghebbend evolutiebioloog Bill Hamilton. Die gaat zelf ook onderzoek doen in Afrika waar hij in 2000 aan malaria overlijdt. Op een congres in London wordt de theorie door het medisch establishment in datzelfde jaar afgekraakt. Volgens sommigen vooral om gevestigde reputaties te beschermen.

De landbouwproduktie is nog lang niet op het niveau van voor de onafhankelijkheid. Dit heeft verschillende oorzaken: er is nog onvoldoende kader om het vertrek van de Portugezen op te vangen; er heerst al twee jaar grote droogte; de Angolezen zelf zijn voornamelijk kleine boeren die nauwelijks voor de markt produceren; de visserij is door het vertrek van de Portugezen ook achteruit gegaan en de hulp uit het oostblok pakt niet altijd even gunstig uit: door de oorlog en de droogte is de veestapel gedecimeerd. Ook de rest van de economie kampt met problemen: de infrastructuur moet herstelt (wegen, bruggen, Benguela spoorlijn, Lobito haven); 80% van de bevolking is analfabeet..Costa Andrade vertelt over hoe een éénpartijstaat toch democratisch kan zijn; president Neto verklaart de noodzaak van Cubaanse militairen zolang Zuid-Afrika UNITA blijft steunen en het probleem van de Zaïrese vluchtelingen die Mobutu ontvluchten komt ook aan de orde.

Eerst een interview met een Spaanse pater die het land verliet tijdens de koloniale overheersing maar na de onafhankelijkheid terugkeerde. Het belangrijkste volgens hem is de mentaliteitsverandering: onder het koloniale bewind wantrouwde iedereen elkaar, leed men onder bijgeloof, en leefde men erg geïsoleerd. Nu men leert de problemen gezamelijk aan te pakken, verbeteren ook de onderlinge relaties. Ook aandacht voor de huisvesting. Mensen die georganiseerd zijn in dynamiseringsgroepen kunnen zich voor een nieuwe woning laten inschrijven die ze dan zelf in de weekenden onder deskundige leiding kunnen bouwen. De huur is inkomensafhankelijk. Ook de volkswinkels komen aan bod. Hier controlleert de staat de prijzen om woekerprijzen ten gevolge van tekorten te voorkomen. Helaas valt het aanbod soms wat tegen. De gezondheidszorg is het volgende onderwerp. Training van brigades, preventieve zorg door middel van voorlichting en inentingcampagnes. Tot slot komt Marcelino dos Santos, minister van economische coördinatie aan het woord die zich beklaagd dat Mozambique, omdat het een volksrepubliek is, erg wordt tegengewerkt.

Ambitious sailor Marlow (Tim Roth) is employed by a British trading company. His mission is a journey to a remote colony in the Belgian Congo, the source of the consortium's profitable supply of ivory, where he's to retrieve some stranded cargo. As he travels upriver visiting the trading stations which acquire the precious commodity through exploitative barter with natives, Marlow hears wild tales

Reaching Kurtz's compound, however, Marlow finds that the man has become a fiend, committing blasphemous atrocities and driven mad by power and disease. Malkovich was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe for his performance as Kurtz.

Summary: Nostalgic documentary about Sophiatown, near Johannesburg, that in the 1950s was a racial mixed neighbourhood, where many musicians lived and performed, and their connections with the local gangs that were inspired by American movies like "Angels with dirty faces", and where Nelson Mandela worked in the first all-black lawyers office. Lots of music, played now by the musical legends from that time. Memories and/or music from, inter alia, Nelson Mandela, Jurgen Schadeberg (from Drum Magazine), Don Mattera, Hugh Masekela, Joe Mogotsi, Dolly Rathebe (who was greeted by Mandela when he just was out of jail in 1990 with:"Hello Dolly, can you still sing the blues?"), Dorothy Masuka, Abigail Kubeka, Thandi Klaasen, Ibrahim Abdullah, The Jazz Epistles, The Manhattan Brothers, The African Inkspots. In 1959 the first black musical "King Kong", with Miriam Makeba, came in production, about Sophiatown-life. It was so succesfull that it went to London too, where many black participants tried to defect but under large pressure returned to South Africa. Also attention for how apartheid ended this vibrant culture: by forced removals under the Group Areas Act, the population was moved to Meadowlands, the houses where torn down and the white suburb 'Triumph' was built.

In 1960 he attended the Brussels Congo Conference, where he pressed for a loose federation of independent states in the Congo. In the general elections of 1960, Gonakat gained control of Katanga provincial legislature, and when the Congo became independent, Tshombe proclaimed Katanga's secession from the country. He worked close with Belgian business interests, appointed a Belgian officer to command his army, and refused to cooperate with either the UN or the central government led by Patrice Lumumba. In Aug. 1960 he was elected president of Katanga; he maintained a large mercenary army, with mercenaries from Europe and South Africa, to fight against UN troops. He was charged by an UN commission with complicity in the murder of Lumumba (Jan. 1961) in Katanga. In April 1961 he was arrested but was released when he pledged to reunite Katanga with the Congo. He quickly repudiated the promise and continued to defy the central government. Finally forced to capitulate, he went into exile in Europe in 1963. With lots of archival footage.

Natuurparken moeten concurreren met de landbouw-behoeften van de bevolking die aan de randen van natuurreservaten wonen.

miljoen dollar per jaar aan inkomsten uit de verkoop van jachtvergunningen), en ze gecontroleerde jacht op bijvoorbeeld impala's toe te staan, gaat deze de natuur ook als bron van inkomsten zien en wordt natuurbehoud eigenbelang. Door strengere stroperswetten neemt het stropen van bijvoorbeeld olifanten sterk af. In het Krugerpark zijn er zelfs teveel, en moeten ze door de parkwachters worden afgeknald, waarna ze ingeblikt worden. Dit is echter een zeer omstreden aanpak waarvoor collega's in bijv. Kenia weinig waardering kunnen opbrengen.

Call number: BG V8/733 Keywords: * South Africa * Soweto uprising (1976-1977) * students * civil unrest * anti-apartheid resistance * secondary schools * education policy * Afrikaans (language) * police * political violence Summary: The story of the Soweto Uprising, that started the 16th of June 1976, retold thirty years later by those who took part (in it or against it). The protests started because the government had decreed that secondary schools in Soweto should teach half their subjects in Afrikaans, the language of the oppressor. The background was formed by the independence of Angola and Mozambique and Steve Biko's Black Consciousness on the one hand, and disco music and 'Saturday Night Fever' on the other. Some of the events are re-enacted, and most of the existing footage is shown. Interviews with student leaders Seth Mazibuko, Murphy Marobe, Sibongile Mkhabela, Mujakathata Mokoena, and Tseitsi Mashinini, leader of the Action Committee (old interview fragments, he died alone and in mental disorder in Guinea in 1990); journalists Max du Preez (Beeld), Sophie Tema (The World), Nora Steyn (Beeld), and photojournalist Sam Nzima (The World), who shot the worldfamous picture of Hector Pietersen; students Phydian Matsepe, Caroline Mabeni; police officers Kobus Malan (Soweto Detective Force), Charles Zeelie (Police Riot Squad - "Soweto was rather pictoresque, with all the fires burning all over Soweto"), Robert Mathube (Soweto Police, black); teachers Fanyana Mazibuko, Magdelene Meselane; family Virginia Mashinini (mother of Tseitsi), Antoinette Sithole (sister of Hector Pietersen).

Die frühere Leiterin der
231
Forschungsabteilung der thailändischen Government Pharmaceutical Organization hat das bisher billigste Aidspräparat der Welt entwickelt. Gleichzeitig hat die Pharmazeutin die Medikamentierung vereinfacht, so dass Infizierte nur noch zwei Mal am Tag eine Tablette schlucken müssen. Zuerst hat die Thailänderin Kraisintu diese Generika 1992 in ihrer Heimat herstellt. Als das gut lief, ging sie nach Afrika. Seitdem hat Krisana Kraisintu in Žthiopien, im Kongo und jetzt in Tansania Fabriken für preiswerte Aidsmedikamente aufgebaut. In Afrika - in nahezu allen Ländern südlich der Sahara - steigt die Todesrate von Aidsinfizierten weiter dramatisch an. Medikamente können sich nur wenige leisten, und die komplizierte Medikamentierung der aus Europa und den USA importierten Mittel ist ein zusätzliches Hindernis. Hinzu kommt die weit verbreitete Tabuisierung von HIV/Aids: Die Kranken werden oft aus allen sozialen Zusammenhängen ausgestoáen. Die Dokumentation verfolgt die Arbeit der Asiatin in Tansania. 14 Prozent der Tansanier sind HIV-positiv und der Altersdurchschnitt sank auf 37 Jahre ab. Weil es bisher keine Hoffnung gab, wurde das Problem verdrängt. Heute kauft die Regierung die Medikamente aus der eigenen Landesproduktion und verteilt sie an die Krankenhäuser und Gesundheitsstationen. Krisana Kraisintu lebt nicht ungefährlich, seit sie das Monopol groáer westlicher Pharmakonzerne auf die Herstellung von Aidsmedikamenten untergräbt. Es gab Zeiten, da hat sie jeden Tag Todesdrohungen am Telefon bekommen. Die Buddhistin lässt sich jedoch nicht einschüchtern, im Gegenteil: Die Zahl der afrikanischen Länder, die sich für Kraisintus Medikamente interessiert, wächst.

It contains some of the most harrowing descriptions of genocide ever given by killers themselves. One of them tells the Panorama team: "It is as if we were competing over the killing." The case of mayor Sylvestre Gacumbitsi, who lured 'his' Tutsi's into the church of Nyarubuye, where they were first attacked by the police and later on by Hutu peasants. Panorama found the major in a Tanzanian refugee camp, where he denied to have anything to do with the massacre. But he did flee the camp after the interview. The church is now a monument to the massacre. Also attention for the role of the radio (Radio Milles Collines) in the butchery.

Hutu-elite, waarvan Gregoire Kayibanda een voorname representant was. Hij wist het missieblad Kinyamateka om te vormen tot propagandakrant voor zijn Hutu-beweging en vertienvoudigde in één jaar tijd de oplage. Als in de aanloop naar de onafhankelijkheid Mwami Mutarra plotseling overlijdt en wodt opgevolgd door Kigeri, de onlusten tussen Hutu's en Tutsi's verder toenemen (1959) en de eerste Tutsi-vluchtelingen in de buurlanden verschijnen, wordt de Belgische kolonel Guy Logiest vanuit de Kongo eropaf gestuurd om de orde te herstellen, en als dat lukt gevraagd als resident te blijven. Logiest kiest al snel partij voor de Hutu's en Gregoire Kayibanda, die, nadat zijn partij in de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in 1960 een grote meerderheid behaald heeft, tijdens het Congres van Gitarama de republiek uitroept. De VN bemoeit zich ermee (eigenlijk pro-Tutsi), en als de onlusten weer oplaaien slaan de Belgen wel de Tutsi's hard neer maar laten ze de Hutu's ongemoeid. Bij de landelijke verkiezingen wint de Hutu-partij en wordt de monarchie afgeschaft, en op 1 juni 1962 wordt Rwanda onafhankelijk onder de Hutu-partij.

The Bahema, a small nomadic herdsmen people, who breed their cattle with the aim of getting the most beautiful cows, not the most productive, and who were mainly living in the Akagera region, were untouched by colonial politics and could live their traditional life until the genocide in 1994, when they were branded as "Tutsi's", and many of them got killed. The Akagera National Park was established in 1934, but when in 1994 refugees started to return to Rwanda, they needed land (Rwanda being the most densely populated country in Africa) and took about two-thirds of the park, leaving the Bahema with too little space for their nomadic existance, which they had to give up.

Through rap lyrics young people in Africa express their views on their own situation, their living conditions, ideals and problems.

The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world. Huge hulking ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for their southbound cargo. Kalashnikovs and ammunitions for the uncounted wars in the dark center of the continent. This booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world's biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots.

German comment and voice-over Call number: BG V8/762 Keywords: * Africa * Uganda * Lord's Resistance Army * child soldiers * human rights violations * war crimes * families * rituals * post-traumatic stress disorder Summary: Die Mitglieder der fanatisch-religiösen Lordïs Resistance Army (LRA) entführen Kinder aus ihren Dörfern und zwingen sie zum Töten - auch ihrer eigenen Familienangehörigen. Opfer werden zu Tätern gemacht und einem Volk werden über Generationen hinweg Lebensgrundlage und Zukunft genommen. 'Lost Children' ist das Porträt von vier Kindersoldaten zwischen 8 und 14 Jahren, die nach gelungener Flucht aus den Buschlagern der Rebellen nur Eines wollen: wieder Kind sein und leben. Dieser Film gibt den Kindern eine Stimme und ein Gesicht. Aus ihrer Perspektive wird eher emotional als faktisch der Krieg in Nord-Uganda geschildert. 'Lost Children' vermittelt einen Eindruck davon, wie die Kinder und ihre Familien versuchen, die schreckliche Vergangenheit in einer grausamen Gegenwart zu bewältigen. Die Kinder, die den Rebellen entkommen konnten, sind alle Täter und Opfer zugleich. Aber auch Helden, denn die Flucht zu wagen und den Angehörigen ihrer Opfer wieder zu begegnen, erfordert viel Mut. Nur wenige Kinder haben überhaupt die Chance den Krieg im Busch zu überleben; die meisten werden als "Kanonenfutter" Opfer der Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) oder als vermeintliche Rebellen durch die Regierungstruppen getötet. Aber: ist ein Kind ein Mörder, wenn es zum Töten gezwungen wird und aus Angst, selbst zu sterben, sich dem Zwang beugt? Der Makel als Täter, das Trauma als Opfer und die Wunden als èberlebende verfolgen diese Kinder bis in ihre Familien, ihr näheres Umfeld und die Gesellschaft.

Zijn beelden (en die van zijn collega's) hadden geen invloed op de gebeurtenissen: hoewel de internationale gemeenschap wist wat er gebeurde, greep ze niet in. Klotz zat in 1994 in Kipagapaga, een wijk van Kigali, oa bij pater Henri Blanchard, die in kerk en gemeentehuis vluchtelingen verborg, totdat ze door de Interahamwe opgepakt en vermoord werden. Interviews met Bernard Kouchner, in 1994 de persoonlijk gezant van de Secretaris-Generaal van de VN, generaal Romeo Dallaire, die in 1994 de leiding had over de VN troepen, en Philipe Gaillard, in 1994 gedelegeerde van het Internationale Rode Kruis in Rwanda, en met een paar overlevenden. Klotz is gefrustreerd dat de journalistiek geen invloed heeft op de gebeurtenissen (hij laat beelden zien van de Franse televisie één

It traces the Namibia's struggle for human rights through the transition to independence in 1990 up to the present. The film explores how a society marred by trauma and oppression is not transformed overnight with the end of war and the departure of the colonial power.The film raises selective incidents where the human rights of Namibians were grossly violated. It focuses on violations perpetrated both on the side of the oppressors and the liberators. Tears of blood is also the story of a woman who is abused by her husband in her own home. This facet of the film stresses the point that human rights are violated in everyday lives of ordinary people and our societies therefore faces challenges of establishing a living human rights culture amongst a people who have been deprived, oppressed and traumatised for generations. The film shows how human rights lawyers and paralegals work with clients and communities to stem the flood of violent disregard for human life and dignity.

Het tegendeel is waarschijnlijker, zeggen Namibiërs. Evenals in 1978, toen Zuid-Afrika na aanvaarding van de resolutie 800 Namibische vluchtelingen in Cassinga in Zuid-Angola vemoordde.

Keywords: * Namibia * Walvis Bay * HIV/AIDS * prostitution Summary: Surrounded by vast expanses of desert and sea, the small Namibian harbour of Walvis Bay is the unlikely setting in which filmmaker Cecil Moller explores the lives of sex-workers. Dependent for their business on the brief visits of foreign shipping trawlers to this remote port, the women give revealing insights into the choises they have made and why they have made them. Their conflicts to do with notions of love, sex, sin and redemption become the main themes, while the threat of HIV/AIDS hangs ominously in the background.

It concentrates nowadays on land rights, for instance for the Himba people vs the Epupa project and for the San vs the Herero cattle farmers; the application of customary law in rural areas vs the constitution, that guarantees gender equality; human rights education, for police officers and traditional chiefs; and cases of police and army torture, for instance in the case of the Caprivi Seccesionists.

in Windhoek vermoord werd. Naar vermoed wordt door een huurling van het CCB, een branche van de Zuid-Afrikaanse geheime dienst die tegenstanders van het apartheidsregime liquideerde. Hij was door zijn hang naar luxe niet onomstreden: Gwen Lister van dagblad The Namibian vond hem daarom zelfs chantabel. Deze geruchten werden versterkt toen de Zuid-Afrikaanse minister van defensie Malan in antwoord op beschuldigingen dat de CCB achter de liquidatie zat beweerde dat Lubowski een van hun agenten was geweest die veel goed werk voor ze had verricht, tesamen met de ontdekking van bijschrijvingen op Lubowski's rekening van in totaal 100.000 Rand, door een schaduwfirma van de geheime dienst. Zijn vrienden en familie achten dit echter ondenkbaar.

Steeds meer Westeuropese landen neigen ertoe die steun ook te verlenen (UK, Spanje, Portugal, Italië, Skandinavië (uitgezonderd Denemarken)). Nederland blijft voorlopig meer zien in 'indirekte steun': geen wapens maar wel voertuigen die bijvoorbeeld ook door het leger kunnen worden gebruikt.

Dutch subtitles Call number: BG V8/838 Keywords: * Mozambique * FRELIMO * independence struggle * documentaries * journalism * civil war * socialism * society and culture * censorship Summary: De geschiedenis van het weekjournaal Kuxa Kanema dat Frelimo na de onafhankelijkheid van Mozambique in 1975 ging opnemen en uitzenden (via mobiele cinema's) om het volk te leren wat het betekende om vrij te zijn in het nieuwe (dwz socialistische) Mozambique. In 1975 werd het Nationaal Film Instituut (NFI) opgericht dat de journaals ging produceren. Ook de Franse cineast Godard kwam naar Mozambique met zijn project "Nord contre Sud ou naissance (de l'image) d'une nation". Hij wilde een soort anti-tv maken, filmapparatuur bij de dorpelingen brengen en ze ermee leren omgaan en daarna de spullen achterlaten zodat ze ermee zouden kunnen doen wat ze wilden. Dit ging Frelimo wat te ver en er werd geen toestemming gegeven. In de jaren tachtig kwam het land steeds meer in de greep van de burgeroorlog en begonnen regeringsrethoriek en werkelijkheid steeds verder uit elkaar te lopen, en het idealisme uit de beginjaren verwaterde. Hoewel er geen officiële censuur bestond was de atmosfeer wel zodanig dat de filmmakers aan zelfcensuur deden. Tegenwoordig is het NFI iets 'wat er tegelijkertijd wel en niet is', zoals één van de geïnterviewden het uitdrukt: de muren staan er nog wel, en binnen liggen de films in hun originele blikken te vergaan.

Bedoelt wordt: bedreigd door erosie. In een interview met de burgermeester legt die uit met welke problemen de stad te maken heeft. Voor de bestrijding van de erosie heeft hij buitenlandse donoren nodig. Amsterdam heeft al steun toegezegd in de vorm van een masterplan (kosten één miljoen) om de erosie aan te pakken. Maar Beira wil ook meer toeristen trekken, en zo wordt er in de duinen een nieuw (Zuid-Afrikaans) vakantie-oord aangelegd, zonder vergunning (ivm de erosie), maar door 'een fout van een ambtenaar' kan het toch doorgang vinden. De grote hotels uit de koloniale tijd zijn te vervallen om buitenlandse investeerders te trekken, en bovendien bezet door ontheemden en zelfs politiemensen. Er zijn veel vluchtelingen in de stad, vaak grote families die niet weten hoe je in een stad moet leven. De criminaliteit neemt toe nu de wegen naar Maputo en Tete weer geopend worden. Aan het eind nog een fragment over illegale houtkap en het verdwijnen van inheemse soorten daardoor.

In 1982 wordt het geweld hem teveel en gaat hij naar België. In 1990 keert hij terug om Mozambique in ogenschouw te nemen en te kijken of hij kan helpen. Veel arbeiders werken in Zuid-Afrika, officieel de vijand, of verwerken in de haven Zuidafrikaanse ladingen. De spoorlijn die in 1894 gereed kwam tussen Pretoria en Lourenço Marques, wordt nu nog nauwelijks voor de handel gebruikt, en is voortdurend doelwit van Renamo sabotage en aanslagen, de "gewapende bandieten" die door Zuid-Afrika gesteund worden. Door de burgeroorlog lijkt het hele land op een dood spoor te zijn terecht gekomen. Remarks: Picture quality: varying * VMZ 039

Met een falend stadsbestuur, dat na de onafhankelijkheid eigenlijk niets aan planning heeft gedaan. Bovendien ontbreekt het aan voldoende financiële middelen om beleid uit te voeren. De voornaamste problemen zijn gerelateerd aan water: gebrek aan waterleidingen, gebrekkig rioleringssysteem, waardoor het oppervlaktewater dat de mensen noodgedwongen voor alles gebruiken enstig vervuild wordt. Tijdens de regentijd loopt het drainage - systeem over en veranderd het water onverharde wegen in erosiegeulen, ook al omdat door de dichtere bebouwing de grond minder water op kan nemen. Hoogspanningsmasten die langs zulke geulen staan dreigen om te vallen. Het bestuur moet leren bestemmingsplannen te maken waarin modellen voor duurzame ontwikkeling worden opgenomen.

Zuerst bediente sich die Clique um den Präsidenten: sie nahmen sich die Filetstücke per staatlicher Enteignung und dann ermutigten sie das Volk, die 4500 weisen Familien in Eigenregie, also blutig und mit allen Mitteln, von ihrem land zu vertreiben. Die Jahren danach ist die Balanz verheerend; die Landbesitznahme durch die schwarze Mehrheit vernichtete mit vielen Existenzen auch das Wissen der Weiáen um die Bearbeitung des Bodens. Heute liegt die einst produktivste und modernste Landwirtschaft Ostafrikas am Boden: die neuen schwarzen Landbesitzer sind noch ärmer als zuvor, 6 Milionen Menschen in Simbabwe hungern und Mugabe ist noch immer an der Macht.

Comments by amongst others Jonathan Mojo (Minister of Information and Publicity) and Stan Mudenge(Minister of Foreign affairs). This is also the reason why access to the public media of opposition parties, as is requqired by the SADC rules for free and fair elections, will be denied to the MDC, as Patrick Chinamasa (minister of Justice, Legal and Parly Affairs), states in parliament.
