The everyday life and the missing: Silences, heroic narratives and exhumations.

Magister Artium - MA / This mini-thesis draws on the biographical materials of activists; Zubeida Jaffer,
Nokuthula Simelane and Siphiwo Mthimkulu in order to investigate their representation as
South African Anti-Apartheid activists. Within Post-Apartheid South Africa there seems to
be a strong tendency to focus on the spectacular violence that occurred between the National
Party government and Apartheid activists. This almost singular focus has led to an
overwhelming promotion of the heroic narrative and as a result the structural violence of
daily life under apartheid has been side-lined
