University of South Africa (Unisa) Principal and Vice-Chancellor Puleng LenkaBula on Friday expressed embarrassment on behalf of the university for not calling out the events unfolding in Palestine sooner, as she called for South Africans and other Africans to extend their solidarity. LenkaBula was speaking at the fifth Chief Albert Luthuli Research Chair Founders Lecture, where she said that it was unclear whether Unisa was scared or shy to speak out. She said it was clear that unity of history, culture and ethnicity, and reclaiming instruments as Africans, were important when looking at the wars taking place, including the silence around the violence that Palestine and Palestinian people were subjected to. LenkaBula said it was through solidarity and the unity of the internationalist grouping, including those that supported the African National Congress that Chief Albert Luthuli had led, that enabled South Africa to overcome its own conditions of apartheid. She noted that Unisa could not be quiet when in Gaza universities had been decimated. "We should not be shy because the geo-political powers and hegemony will silence us. We must speak truth to power even if our voices are shaking," she stated. She alleged that sometimes "quiet, terrible theology" is used to justify alliances with those in positions of power and dominance, even to undermine the integrity of the humanity of others. She said this was witnessed with colleagues from the Gift of the Givers losing their lives, as they extended solidarity to Palestinians. Ahmed Abbassi was heading up the organisation's relief efforts in Gaza when he and his brother were killed in an Israeli attack while returning from morning prayers. "We must, as South Africans, as Africans, also extend our solidarity, it is imperative for us because we understand what it means for the world to tremble upon us and what it means to speak against and fight the domination," she said. HONOURING OUR ICONS LenkaBula noted that as Unisa celebrates 150 years, it would not be oblivious to the challenges faced by African leaders, especially those committed to the emancipatory project of the country, continent and in the global arena, such as Luthuli had been. "As we celebrate 150 years we are not apologetic about lifting up these icons, these Africans, that are sometimes muted, silenced and whose work is sometimes placed under tables not in libraries," she said. She highlighted that South Africans should be worried as the country gears up to hold national elections next year, warning that sometimes Africans "hollowed out" the emancipatory and liberation trajectories that the country's forebears led, organised, and agitated and advocated for. "And as we remember, recall and reinvigorate our sciences, looking to these icons, the ones who contributed to the histories that have resulted in the democracy that we have, [let us not] sometimes trivialise and forget the violence, dehumanisation and the oppression which were occasioned by colonialism and apartheid and that are still features of our lives," said LenkaBula.

Juan Cassidy from the Hy-drome renewable energy group says he is outside Luthuli House to provide solutions over the energy crisis. Cassidy is one of hundreds of protesters who marched past the ANC headquarters on Wednesday. A seperate group led by the party's Youth League said it was ready and well prepared to receive their guest outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg.

The number of failed former ministers who have in the past been redeployed to the African National Congress's (ANC's) Luthuli House head office is set to be significantly reduced should the party adopt proposed constitutional amendments. A move to reduce to three the number of members deployed to permanent positions at Luthuli House is among the proposed constitutional amendments put forward by ANC structures. The proposals will be published on Tuesday. The proposed amendment limits the positions to secretary-general and two deputies. During a media briefing on Monday following the national executive committee (NEC) meeting over the weekend, Ronald Lamola confirmed that party structures had proposed various changes to the party's constitution. Lamola, the head of the party's constitutional development committee, said one of the most significant proposed changes was the introduction of a second deputy secretary-general. The party has had to redeploy more than five NEC members to the secretary-general's office since Ace Magashule's suspension and the death of his deputy, Jessie Duarte. As such, the proposal to have two deputy secretaries-general has found resonance among the party's structures. Lamola said that "with regards to the deputy secretary, the rationale is that we will need to have a second deputy secretary who will be able to be assigned specific responsibilities by the NEC". Should the proposed new resolution be adopted at the ANC's conference next month, the headcount of permanent staff deployed by the NEC will drop significantly. Several former ministers and NEC members, including Malusi Gigaba, Nomvula Mokonyane, Jeff Radebe, and NEC members Nkenke Kekana, Dakota Legoete, and Sibongile Besani, are employed at Luthuli House. It's been reported that these members are paid the equivalent of a deputy minister's salary, placing further strain on the party's already bloated salary bill. Over the last two years, the ANC has struggled to pay its administrative staff, with disgruntled employees speaking out over the late payment of their salaries. They have also had to make ends meet after only portions of their salaries were paid. Delegates attending the elective conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, next month will vote on the proposal on the first day of the event, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile said last week. Mashatile, who is also the acting secretary-general, said deliberations on the proposed change would also take place on the first day. Lamola said for the proposed change to take effect, at least three-quarters of voting delegates would have to support the constitutional amendment. Just more than 4 500 voting delegates will be attending the conference. Attempts to increase the number of positions for deputy secretaries-general and deputy presidents have failed in the past. The party's contentious step-aside rule is also expected to be put to a vote at the conference. The step-aside rule stems from the party's 2012 Mangaung conference, where delegates deliberated on what should happen when someone tarnished the organisation's image and integrity, usually after being linked to criminal charges. Given that no mechanisms were in place to ensure that members could be held accountable, the ANC's national elective conference in Nasrec in 2017 resolved to put specific guidelines in place and will now seek to strengthen the resolution by constitutionalising it. "Once the amendment is made, it can be applied in a manner that is transparent and is also consistent because when it's in the constitution, the NEC and any structures will be obliged to follow the constitution," Lamola said. He explained that all the proposed changes to the party's constitution were being advanced to "enhance the work of the ANC on renewal". "They should give the impetus to guide what was started at the 2017 elective conference in terms of restoring the image of the party," said Lamola.
Disgruntled ANC staff members held a picket outside the party's headquarters in Luthuli House, Johannesburg yesterday, over unpaid salaries yet again. The staffers say they have been without salaries for two months. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC staff representative, Mvusi Mdala.

Today we talked with Jill Kelly about her new book To Swim with Crocodiles: Land, Violence, and Belonging in South Africa, 1800-1996 published by Michigan State University Press in 2018. Her book is a history of ukukhonza, a practice of affiliation that bound together chiefs and subjects to enable security, in the Table Mountain region of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Kelly argues ukukhonza can be used as a “lens” to explore the history of the relationship between chief, subject, and land. By examining that history in the longue durée of the last two centuries, Kelly reveals the origins and evolution of violence and conflict that saw its peak during the civil war within the KwaZulu Bantustan during the waning years of apartheid in the 1980s. By connecting these issues with the larger evolution of apartheid and traditional rulership in the country, Kelly solidifies KwaZulu-Natal as a relevant and critical region to our understanding of the history of South Africa. Jill Kelly is an Associate Professor of African and South African History at Southern Methodist University. A Fulbright Scholar, Kelly has lived extensively within KwaZulu-Natal, and has published articles for the Journal of Southern African Studies and the African Historical Review. Recently, Kelly was part of the nomination process in awarding the Order of the Luthuli in Gold posthumously to Inkosi Mhlabunzima Joseph Maphumulo, a traditional chief in the Table Mountain region of KwaZulu-Natal.
