New National Party (South Africa) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During the 2004 South African general election, much of this support deserted the party due to unhappiness with their alliance with the ANC, and their portion of the national vote dropped from 6.9% in 1999 to 1.9% (it was 20.4% as the National Party in 1994). As of the fifth of August, 2005, all NNP members of parliament have become members of the ANC, in accordance with South African parliamentary floor crossing legislation (a contraversial series of laws which allow politicians, elected on one party ticket, to defect to other parties). The attempt was unsuccessful and the New National Party voted to disband itself in 2005. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/South_African_National_Party

Malan, Daniel, South Africa, Dutch Reformed Church He became a member of the National Party in 1915 and was appointed the editor of Die Burger, a newspaper published by Afrikaner nationalists in Cape Town who were opposed to the government fighting on the side of Britain during World War 1. He was later elected chairman of the Cape Province branch of the National Party, and although he was defeated in the 1915 parliamentary elections, he was offered a seat when a successful candidate stepped down in his favour. Malan's party, in the meantime, increased the number of seats it held in the parliament to 43 in the 1943 elections. www.dacb.org /stories/southafrica/malan_daniel.html

S. African politics notes The consequence of white South African nationalism, whether Hertzog’s interventionist version or the variety propounded by Smuts, freer and thus in its effect more English and more middle-class, was the exclusion of the blacks from the body politic and their permanent subordination. However, three questions soon surfaced: What would be the nature and relationship of the South African state to the British Empire; what was the nature and relationship of the Afrikaners to the English speakers; what would be the nature and relationship between the whites and the blacks. Africans were removed from the common voting role and were part of a separate African voting role. www.duke.edu /~gwc/polsci171notes.htm

South African Party --  Encyclopædia Britannica Hani was secretary-general of the South African Communist party (SACP) from 1991 to 1993 and chief of staff from 1987 to 1991 of Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation), the military wing of the black-nationalist African National Congress (ANC). South African politician Thabo Mbeki became president of the African National Congress (ANC), a South African political party and black nationalist organization, in 1997. The National Party was long dedicated to policies of apartheid and white supremacy, but by the early 1990s it had begun moving toward sharing power with South Africa's black majority. www.britannica.com /eb/article?tocId=9068830

Learn more about Apartheid in the online encyclopedia. South African apartheid was condemned internationally as unjust and racist. In its aftermath the government banned the African National Congress (ANC) and the Pan-Africanist Congress. South Africa was colonised by the Dutch and English from the 17th century onwards. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /a/ap/apartheid.html

South African Political Parties The National Party (NP) was the ruling party in South Africa from 1948 until 26 April 1994 when the ANC came to power. Having its origins as a breakaway group from the National Party in 1969, the HNP as with the Conservative Party, wished to stay as close to the traditional NP colours of orange, white and blue. It advocates a "White homeland" and won 3 seats in the South African Parliament in the 1999 elections. flagspot.net /flags/za}.html

South African former apartheid party dissolves - Wikinews Other prominent South African parties include the ANC (African National Congress), ruling party with 69.7% of the 2004 vote; and the Democratic Alliance (DA), a liberal party which is the official opposition party to the ANC, and received 12.4% of the 2004 vote. The National Party was the governing party of South Africa from 1948 to 1994, and promoted policies of apartheid and the promotion of Afrikaner (white South African) culture. Former South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk, who oversaw the end of apartheid during his tenure from 1989 to 1994 as its last white president, called for the creation of a new party to take the NNP's place. en.wikinews.org /wiki/South_African_former_apartheid_party_dissolves

South Africa - The Great Depression and the 1930s Hertzog, whose National Party had won the 1929 election alone, after splitting with the Labour Party, received much of the blame for the devastating economic impact of the depression. Many Afrikaners criticized Hertzog's move, especially because they considered Smuts to be an opponent of Afrikaner nationalism who was too closely allied with the English mine owners; under the leadership of D.F. Malan and the Broederbond, they split away to form their own political party, the Purified National Party. In the mid-1930s, the United Party government introduced legislation to remove Africans from the common voters' roll in the Cape, to limit them to electing white representatives to Parliament, and to create a Natives Representative Council that had advisory powers only (Representation of Natives Act [No. 12] of 1936). www.country-data.com /cgi-bin/query/r-12093.html

Nazdorovya? Russian-South African Defence and Technology Ties - African Security Review Vol 9 No 4, 2000 The South African National Party (NP) government, in power from 1948-1994, was fanatically hostile to what it understood as ‘Communism’ and to all countries which practised it. The intention was to enable South Africans to contend with the MiG-23s that had been encountered in Angola, where the SAAF had found it difficult to manoeuvre into an attacking position from the rear due to a lack of power in the Mirage F-1s. Although South African industries were involved in upgrading F-1 avionics for at least two nations by mid-2000, it is believed that the benefits of such a programme would principally fall to the Klimov factory rather than to the South Africans. www.iss.co.za /Pubs/ASR/9No4/MillsAndPienaar.html

The Agrarian and National Questions Remarks on the Draft Theses of The Workers Party of South Africa The Bolshevik Party defended the right of the oppressed nations to self-determination, with methods of proletarian class struggle, entirely rejecting the charlatan “anti-imperialist” blocs with the numerous petty-bourgeois “national” parties of czarist Russia (P.RS., the party of Pilsudski in czarist Poland, Dashnaki in Armenia, the Ukrainian nationalists, the Jewish Zionists, etc., etc.). The revolutionary Party must put before every white worker the following alternative: either with British Imperialism and with the white bourgeoisie of South Africa, or, with the black workers and peasants against the white feudalists and slave-owners and their agents in the ranks of the working class itself. National democratic movements by themselves were powerless to cope with the national oppression of czarism. www.marxists.org /archive/trotsky/works/1935/1935-sa.htm

The South African National Defence Force - SANDF The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is facing a challenging year in 2003 in which it will not only receive the first corvette of its multi billion dollar arms acquisition programme, but also the beginning of a down-scaling programme to get rid of some 20,000 ageing soldiers, reports Erika Gibson. Whilst awaiting the activation the South African project team and the main contractor, BAE SAAB, have been actively involved in creating the design baseline for the export variant of the Gripen. According to a peace agreement signed in Pretoria between the DRC and Rwanda, whereby Rwanda had to withdraw its forces from the DRC and South Africa would act as the third party verification team, the task will probably fall on South Africa's shoulders to also provide some 1,500 soldiers to form part of Monuc III. www.global-defence.com /2003/sandef_03.htm

South African Cabinet Approves National Antiretroviral Distribution Plan A South African Cabinet statement released on Wednesday said that the plan "is the final piece completing the jigsaw puzzle of the National Strategic Plan for HIV and AIDS 2000-2005, whose four key areas of intervention were: prevention, treatment, care and support; research, monitoring and surveillance; as well as legal and human rights. South Africa's plan is "commendable, historic and urgent," Christen says, adding that the nation's "bold action" demonstrates that the government "has not forgotten" South Africans living with HIV/AIDS (Christen, San Francisco Chronicle, 11/20). The plan, which was submitted last week to the South African Cabinet, was drafted with the assistance of the Clinton Foundation, the Baltimore Sun reports (Baltimore Sun, 11/20). www.hivdent.org /publicp/inter/ppinSACA112003.htm

South Africa: History In Apr., 1993, the secretary-general of the South African Communist party was murdered by a right-wing extremist. De Klerk and the National party supported the new charter, despite disagreement over some provisions; Inkatha followers had walked out of constitutional talks and did not participate in voting on the new constitution. South Africa was strongly opposed to the establishment of black rule in the white-dominated countries of Angola, Mozambique, and Rhodesia, and gave military assistance to the whites there. www.infoplease.com /ce6/world/A0861191.html

Address to South African Communist Party Special National Congress The Party should again say, in the same way as we were able to provide a very focal point, a reference point to understanding the nature of society and the kind of struggle we have to fight, perhaps the Party is challenged once again to ask this question and therefore what our responses should be. The Party programme of 1962 which spoke about the CST marked the conclusion of an ideological debate that had been going on for about 35 years. That was a digression, but an important one, because we hope this Party will do as it has in the past, to help the movement define where we are and where we ought to be. www.anc.org.za /ancdocs/history/mbeki/2005/tm0409.html

South African National Gallery - Publications By the time a more enlightened attitude to Modernist precepts had emerged at the South African National Gallery under Roworth's successors, Trevor's best works of the 1940s were no longer available for acquisition, and the artist had to all intents and purposes made himself unavailable for contact or dialogue. It is with pleasure that the Friends' Council of the SA National Gallery announce the acquisition, via the Edward Saunders Lecture Fund, of Harry Trevor's Self-Portrait which will help fill an important gap in the Gallery's representation of works by earlier South African artists. Mr Honikman submitted a draft constitution for discussion which was based on the Constitution of the South African Library and Professor Beinart of the Faculty of Law at UCT was also involved with the drafting of the final version. www.museums.org.za /sang/pub/1998/2_fong.htm

CPL African Americans and National Party Convention History: A Chronology In Chicago, the Republican National Committee defeated the "lily whitism" of Southern delegates to the national convention, and also required that African Americans be admitted to state and district conventions. African Americans were not part of national political convention history until the Republican National Convention of 1868. African Americans were also angered by the Democrats' failure to endorse Henry Wallace, a liberal supportive of equal rights, as the Vice Presidential candidate. www.chipublib.org /002branches/woodson/wnconvention.html

THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY AND THE GII The South African democratic dispensation emerged at the end of the Cold War and at the start of the new global economic regime (the end of the GATT and the formation of the WTO) led by the United States and the G7 countries. South Africa is widely acknowledged as having the most advanced information infrastructure on the African continent, and the telecommunications sector is seen as crucial for the nation’s socio-economic development. South Africa continues to face many challenges as it strives both to reconstruct the nation from the social and economic shambles of apartheid and to play catch up in the global information economy. www.si.umich.edu /Classes/607/final_papers/gs_3_final_paper.htm

South African Jazz: Timeline The reluctance of the British to release South Africa from the Commonwealth because of apartheid is abruptly rendered irrelevant when the South African ruling National Party officially declares independence. After being performed at the 1912 inauguration of the South African Native National Congress (later the ANC), it is adopted as the official song of the African National Congress in 1925. Christianity would affect the development of a musical South African musical identity in many ways: an emphasis on literacy, the regular performance of hymns and spirituals, the use of the organ and harmonium, and the freedom to perform music and dance on Sundays. www.allaboutjazz.com /php/article.php?id=1953

The Body: South Africa: A Party Man Bucks the African National Congress on Drugs Mbhazima Shilowa is a party man, a member of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), and President Thabo Mbeki's handpicked choice to run South Africa's most urban and prosperous province. This is a thunderclap and the surest sign that South Africa is no longer the euphoric country that toppled white-minority rule eight years ago. When Shilowa announced his plan, he said that the province had the infrastructure and resources necessary to administer the medicine at all hospitals and clinics, and portrayed his decision as consistent with governmental policy. www.thebody.com /cdc/news_updates_archive/feb20_02/s_africa_aids.html
