The End of Apartheid
by
Jean-Martin Louw
In 1948, under the leadership of Doctor Daniel Francois Malan, the National Party (NP) came to power with a 'separate development' mandate. The NP believed there were only two ways to manage race relations in a heterogonous society: separate development or integration.

South Africa: Pressing for Black Liberation
by
Kijua Sanders-Mcmurtry
Recently, I was able to study abroad in South Africa as part of a doctoral program focusing on educational policy. We traveled there to study the educational system, and the country's efforts to overhaul the damage that years of oppression had on their educational institutions. Our greatest challenge as students was trying to conceptualize what this meant for the millions of South Africans who wanted to pursue higher education. We constantly talked about the roles colonialism, hegemony and racism played in the Apartheid structure, but I don't believe that any of us could fully grasp how this impacted the lives of people living this experience on a daily basis.

A South African Living Legend
by
Sandy Cosser
A side of South Africa that's not often explored is the West Coast. Easily accessible by road this tourism jewel offers a range of activities ranging from hiking and nature appreciation to whale watching and museum hopping. A not to be missed venue is Evita se Perron at Darling station, a tongue in cheek homage to apartheid South Africa where visitors can enjoy a good laugh and a show from South Africa's most famous lady, Evita Bezuidenhout.

Women's Interest Topic of the Day
by
Lance Winslow
Today, we have the first black president, and that is a major statement about the United States, it shows that more and more glass ceilings and barriers are being broken. And it's very good to see that, but I ask you how much do you know regarding the history of how America came to this place in time? I ask because recently, I read and scanned through a very interesting book.

John Brinkley
We had a day and a bit to spare before we caught our flight back from Johannesburg to Australia. I decided to take a tour of Soweto. Armand from the Avant Garde Lodge made some phone calls and an appointment was made to meet a guide at the front of the motel.

Cultural Life of a Premium Tourist Destination
by
Matthew Anton
The city of Johannesburg has a tragic history that is related to apartheid South Africa. Nevertheless it is one of the premium tourist destinations that the user can ever visit. The trip should start off in Soweto which is a township that was very much at the heart of the period when the Africans were oppressed by the minority government.
