Dispossession and Access to Land in South Africa. An African Perspective : An African Perspective
(2009)
This book deals with the conceptualization of access to land by the dispossessed in South Africa as a human right. Yanou examines the country's property model in the context of the post apartheid constitutional mandate to redress the skewed land distribution of the past. The book reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the land restitution process as well as the question of the payment of just and equitable compensation for land expropriated for restitution. It also reviews the phenomenon of land invasion and quality of access to land enjoyed by the South African black woman under the present dispensation. Yanou argues that the courts have, on occasions, construed just and equitable compensation generously. This approach has failed to reflect the fact that what is being paid for is land dispossessed from the forebears of indigenous inhabitants. In a South Africa that lost most of its ancestral land during colonialism and apartheid, access to land for the dispossessed should not be equated with the protection of property acquired under apartheid. Getting it right would entail truth and reconciliation with the collective dispossession suffered by South African blacks.
Bis vor noch nicht allzu langer Zeit war es sehr aufwändig, einen Film zu drehen, zu schneiden und zu publizieren. Das hat sich grundlegend geändert. Zentrale Idee des hier vorgestellten Projektes ist es, die neuen Möglichkeiten, die sich durch die Filmfunktionen gewöhnlicher digitaler Fotoapparate ergeben, im Unterricht und mit Jugendgruppen zu nutzen, weil sich so die Forderung nach aktiver Medienarbeit mit geringem Aufwand und großem Erfolg umsetzen lässt.
This book presents a study of the life history of Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari (c. 1869 - 1927). Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari grew up and studied Islamic Sciences in Bagamoyo, Tanzania. He became a Swahili lecturer and author in Germany and is known to have written Desturi za Wasuaheli, an important work in Swahili culture. The book introduces the wider historical context of his writings, and, in particular, reconstructs the racism and discrimination in both the colonial and metropolitan contexts, features which negatively influenced his career and his life as a whole. The study also offers insights into contributions of the colonized to the study of African languages and cultures during this same historical context.
Anfang 2003 veröffentlichte Ettore Ghibellino erstmals die These einer geheimen Liebesbeziehung zwischen Herzogin Anna Amalia und Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Als Jurist, ausgebildet u.a. in Tübingen, Oxford und Rom, in Bayreuth im Bereich der Staatstheorie promovierend, führten Ghibellinos literarische Interessen ihn 2001 nach Weimar. Während er das Werk des von ihm wiederentdeckten römischen Dichters Giuseppe Maccari (1840-1867) übersetzte und herausgab, stieß er auf Widersprüche in Goethes Leben, die schließlich zu der These führten, dass eine Liaison zwischen Goethe und Charlotte von Stein wegen der damaligen Standesschranken vorgetäuscht worden sei, während Goethes Liebe in Wirklichkeit Charlottes Herrin, Anna Amalia, gegolten habe. Die Inszenierung habe ein Jahrzehnt gewährt, doch als sie aufzufliegen drohte, habe sich Goethe gezwungen gesehen, seiner Liebe zur Fürstin zu entsagen. Nach Ghibellino erzählen Anna Amalia und Goethe die Geschichte ihrer tragischen Liebe mittels der "stummen Sprache" der Kunst, namentlich in Gemälden, Skulpturen, Parkanlagen, Gebäuden, Partituren und vor allem in Goethes Liebesdichtung, die ab seiner Ankunft in Weimar Anna Amalia gegolten habe.
Hester se Brood
(2009)
Hester se Brood, in Afrikaans, is set in a small town in the Little Karoo, where Hester van der Walt bakes bread in a woodfired oven for the local market in MacGregor. The book is inhabited by the spirit of the poets C. Louis Leipoldt and Martin Versfeld, as Hester van der Walt has the same deep rooted, intuitive connection between food and soul, especially food that is prepared with traditional ingredients and methods. Along with generous portions of soul food comes a down to earth delicious recipes that show you how to bake classic European breads, like ciabatta, focaccia, kitke and baguettes as well as good old-fashioned sourdough breads. Van der Walt's fine sense of humour, and her valuing of the magic interplay between fire and wood, grain and salt, water and yeast and time - the basics elements necessary for baking real bread, makes this book as irresistible as the savour of freshly baked bread, as it comes out of the oven.
Effective and transparent government budgeting is vital to any democracy. In South Africa, massive poverty, inequality and unemployment remain, despite the successful political transformation, citizens and Parliament have a particularly important role to play in shaping budget policy and overseeing its implementation. South Africa reached a crossroads in fiscal governance when it passed the Money Bills Amendment Act in 2009, a law which granted Parliament strong powers to amend the budget prepared by the executive. This publication explores the content of the new law as well as the challenges and opportunities arising from it. It also discusses the role of Parliament in ensuring pro-poor budgeting. Good fiscal governance is too important for the wellbeing of South Africans to not be a part of our public conversations.
