South African trade unionism in an era of racial exclusionLever, Jeffrey Thomas 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis is an examination of the main tendencies in the trade
union movement in South Africa during the currency of the
Industrial Cenci 1 iation Act from 1924 to 1979, and of state
labour policy of direct relevance to worker organisation. It
considers in particular the reasons for the predominance of
protectionist strategies, frequently amounting to racial
monopolies and exclusion, among the unions catering for white
artisan and production workers. Attention is given to the
deployment of legislative and other policy instruments by the
South African state intent on providing support for the
prevailing protectionist demands and the exclusionary stance of
large sections of the trade union movement. In analysing these
developments, reference is made to the history of the trade union
federations reflecting the divergent interests of different
sections of the South African labour movement during this period.
The evolution of trade unions for the workers occupying a
subordinate role in the South African "racial order" is also
traced. Consideration is given to the barriers to the full
development of such trade unions, and to the incipient decline
of the era of racial exclusion which the 1970s witnessed. / Sociology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Sociology)

The development of university education for blacks in South Africa with special reference to the Transvaal (1900-1970)Kgoale, Mochacha Mathews 05 1900 (has links)
Before 1959 Blacks were admitted to study at certain White universities; Kollege ya Bana BaAfrika and Fort Hare. In 1959 Parliament passed two Acts of far reaching significance
in the history of university education for Blacks in South Africa. These were the Extension of University Education Act (Ac t No . 45 of 1959) and the Fort Hare Transfer Act (Act No.
64 of 1959) . The first Act provided for the establishment of the university colleges of the North and that of Zululand. The second Act provided for the transfer of Fort Hare to
the then Department of Bantu Education. This study will show why government found it necessary to establish Black universities, together with their merits and demerits. Suggestions are given as to how Black universities could become universally accepted academic institutions. Although dealing with Black university education in general ,
particular reference is made to Turfloop. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)

The role of the state in the establishment of a culture of learning and teaching in South Africa (1910-2004)Baloyi, Colonel Rex 31 December 2004 (has links)
Formal state-controlled education has been a central element for social development in South Africa since the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910. The establishment and promotion of a culture of learning and teaching is regarded as a pre-condition for high educational standards. This thesis is a study of the role of the state in the establishment of a culture of learning and teaching in South Africa from 1910 to 2004.
To understand the role that the state played in promoting, or inhibiting, a culture of learning and teaching, a historical review was taken of the state's role in formal schooling in the period of the Union (1910-1947), the era of apartheid (1948-1989), the transitional period (1990-1994) and in the era of the democratic South Africa. As an ideal, the state has a responsibility to ensure the establishment of a culture of learning and teaching. The historical review revealed, however, that the state used its policies to promote political rather than educational ideologies - and in the process, there was a complete breakdown in a culture of learning and teaching.
The establishment and promotion of a culture of learning and teaching towards the maintenance of high academic standards in South African state schools was the motivating force behind this study. Therefore, this study concludes with guidelines and recommendations grounded in the historical review that will hopefully promote a culture of learning and teaching in South African schools in future. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.

The educational impact of teachers' organisations (1925-1992) on the Indian community in South AfricaMunsamy, Gabriel Somasundram 06 1900 (has links)
The investigation contributes to a broader understanding of
the hegemonic role of teacher organisations and their
relation to the dominant structures in society. It also
contributes to educational theory since it extends the
traditional assertion of an individual teacher who acts as
an agent of capitalism and who serves to foster the
interests of the State, to teachers who operate through an
organisation which becomes more powerful in articulating
this hegemony.
The historic evidence shows that for much of the period
under investigation these teacher organisations have either
endorsed, or else have failed to challenge in significant
ways, the use of education by the State to ramify the
ideology and practice of apartheid. In addition these
organisations have had no power to compel action from
political and educational authorities. Decades of
compliance with State policy, or unwillingness to
forcefully articulate the obvious injustices of that
policy, have inevitably led to a position whereby
established teacher bodies became inward looking.
Ultimately, these teacher bodies could not offer a
fundamental critique of the apartheid education system and
therefore could not empower their members to transform
society as they worked within a structural-functional and liberal framework. However, the research also shows that teachers as a
collective group became capable of resisting dominant
ideologies, especially during the post-1984 period.
Progressive teacher organisations, fuelled by the labour
movement and African nationalism convicted many
conservative teacher bodies to eschew ethnicity and agitate
for a unified, democratic non-racial, non-sexist State with
a single Ministry of Education. This period saw an
escalation in the struggles of resistance by teacher
organisations against a newly established Tri-cameral
parliamentary system. These empowered members effectively
resisted the increasing bureaucratisation and political
interference in education through which the State sought to
control teachers. The study offers a new way of perceiving
teacher organisations as they become involved in long term
struggles of transformation which incorporates the
reconstruction of a post-apartheid society. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (History of Education)

Burger se rol in die Suid-Afrikaanse partypolitiek, 1934-1948 / The presence of Die Burger in the partypolitics of South Africa, 1934-1948Joubert, Jurie Jacobus 13 February 2015 (has links)
Afrikaans text / In die perswese van Suid-Afrika het Die Burger gedurende
die dertiger- en veertigerjare ’n besondere plek beklee. A1
was dit nie ’n koerant met reusesirkulasiesyfers nie, is dit
gerespekteer omdat dit onder meer ’n besonder bevoegde redaksie
en bestuurspan gehad het. Die wyse waarop hy sy direkte
teenstander, Die Suiderstem, in die stof laat byt het, lewer
bewys van Die Burger se krag en invloed, veral in sy hinterland.
Die Burger en die Nasionale Party van Kaapland se noue verbintenis
het tot gevolg gehad dat hulle ’n gedugte span gevorm
het. Die verbintenis, wat wedersydse voordele ingehou het,
is grootliks versterk deur D.F. Malan se betrokkenheid by
Die Burger. Die rol wat die twee redakteurs A.L. Geyer en
PJA. Weber in die tydperk 1934 tot 1948 gespeel het, moet
as van kardinale belang beskou word. Veral die persoonlike
ondersteuning wat hulle aan D.F. Malan gegee het in sy opbou
van die Nasionale Party in die jare 1934 - 1948, het ’n deurslaggewende
uitwerking op die Suid-Afrikaanse politieke geskiedenis
gehad.
Die rol wat Die Burger gedurende die koalisietydperk en daarna
tydens samesmelting gespeel het, asook sy besonder noue verbintenis
met sy lesers, het die koerant veral in Kaapland ’n baie
belangrike politieke faktor gemaak. Dit het aan hom ook ’n
besondere posisie van mag binne die Nasionale Party van Suid-
Afrika laat inneem. Hierin het Geyer as redakteur, maar veral
in sy persoonlike hoedanigheid, ’n groot rol gespeel.
Die Burger se jarelange bydrae as kultuurbouer van die Afrikaanssprekendes
het meegewerk dat die koerant as mede-skepper
van die Nasionale Party se apartheidsfilosofie opgetree het.
Die filosofie is beskou as die enigste wyse waarop die Afrikaanssprekende
se kulturele en politieke regte beskerm en bestendig
kon word.
As praktiese instrument het dit veral ná 1939 ook meegehelp
om die Nasionale Party aan bewind te bring in 1948. Die koerant
het J.C. Smuts en die Verenigde Party gereeld aangeval en
op alle gebiede aan die kaak probeer stel. Veral gedurende
en na die Tweede Wereldoorlog het die koerant die Smuts-bewind
as ’n onbevoegde regering aan sy lesers voorgehou, 'en het sekerlik
sukses daarmee behaal. / During the nineteen thirties and forties the Afrikaans newspaper
Die Burger occupied a prominent place within the ambience
of the South African press. Without reaching large circulation
figures, it achieved recognition and respect because - apart
from other reasons - it commanded the skills of a very competent
editorial staff and management team. The way in which it
effectively ousted its main rival Die Suiderstem, is testimony
of its power and influence, particularly in its hinterland.
The close association between Die Burger and the Cape National
Party represented a formidable joining of forces. This relationship,
entailing mutual advantages, was sustained significantly
by the involvement of Dr. D.F. Malan with Die Burger. Of
cardinal importance also was the part played by two editors,
A.L. Geyer and P.A. Weber, in the period 1934 to 1948. Their
personal support of Dr. Malan in establishing and consolidating
the National Party during the years 1934 to 1948 had a decisive
influence on South African political history.
The role assumed by Die Burger in the period of Coalition
and Fusion, as well as the close bond it had established
with its readership, made it a potent political force, particularly
in the Cape Province. At the same time it gained for
itself an important position of power within the National
Party of South Africa. In all of this Geyer was a central
figure - officially as editor, but more particularly also
in a personal capacity.
Die Burger's efforts over the years in advancing the cultural
cause of Afrikaners led the paper to become a co-founder
of the National Party's philosophy of apartheid. The implementation
of this ideology was regarded as the only way in which
the cultural and political rights of Afrikaners could be
safeguarded and maintained.
After 1939 the paper proved instrumental in bringing the National
Party to power in the election of 1948. It regularly attacked
General J.C. Smuts and his United Party on a wide political
front, pointing out their shortcomings in various areas.
Especially during and immediately after World War II it severely
criticized the Smuts government for being incompetent, and
it undoubtedly achieved political success with this strategy. / History / D. Litt. et Phil.

Interpretations of academic freedom : a historical investigationBaloyi, Colonel Rex 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is a study of academic freedom, an issue which is regarded as a precondition for the university's successful execution of its task, namely the advancement
and dissemination of knowledge. To understand what academic freedom really implies
and entails, a historical review was undertaken of the various interpretations of academic
freedom in the Medieval Italy and France, Imperial Germany, the late 19th century and
the 20th century American and South African universities. As an ideal, academic freedom
implies the free but responsible search for knowledge and truth. The historical review
revealed, however, that academic freedom has at times been misunderstood and abused. The realisation of true academic freedom in South African universities was the motivating
force behind this study. Therefore, this study is concluded with guidelines and
recommendations grounded in the historical review that will hopefully promote academic
freedom in South African universities. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (History of Education)
