Introduction:
This task is to get knowledge of the South-African literature. I can already imagine that you<br /> ask: "Why do I have to do that? I want a simple life and within this life it is not necessary<br /> with South-African literature". For my part, I cannot give an answer to this question. It is<br /> only you who can respond as soon as when you start to come in touch with this literature.<br /> Because you will discover that you are entering a fascinating world, telling about the<br /> moments experienced by people like you and me in the system of apartheid and also before<br /> and after it. In other words, you don't know what you are going to miss if you do not know<br /> the South-African literature.<br /> <br /> The South-African literature is full of excellent authors. Just to highlight Alan Paton, André<br /> Brink, Nadine Gordimer, Zakes Mda, Athol Fugard. The latter is the author (along with<br /> John Kani and Winston Ntshona) of a very famous play called "The Island", which we<br /> much recommend you to attend once in your life.<br /> <br /> The first file is a short story of Njabulo S. Ndebele, called "The year of the dog".<br /> “... Remember the Native Land Act of 1913 when tens of thousands of Africans were thrown<br /> out of their lands ‘like dogs’? Many years later, influx control laws were passed and<br /> Bantustans were created; hundreds of thousands of African families were uprooted and<br /> moved around ‘like dogs’. Today, there are farmers who, having exploited them for<br /> decades, still throw out black families into the wilderness ‘like dogs’.<br /> <br /> Remember 16 June 1976, when thousands of school children were shot at ‘like dogs’, And<br /> how, in turn, ‘other dogs’ from the hostels were sent by the State to attack township<br /> dwellers ‘like dogs’? It all led to Boipatong, where balaclava-hooded men, bussed in, split<br /> the heads of babies with pangas ‘like dogs’. We still bus in people ‘like dogs’ as ‘voting<br /> fodder’ or as ‘demonstration fodder’, sometimes just outside the court.<br /> Remember the lonely and gruesome torment of Maki S’khosana, described as the first victim<br /> of ‘the necklace’? Stunned by kicks and blows and stones ‘like a dog’ as the tyre was being<br /> placed round her neck?<br /> Remember the old women of Limpopo who were killed ‘like dogs’ because someone said<br /> they were ‘witches’? Or the man who beat a worker ‘like a dog’ and then fed him to lions?<br /> And consider how, just recently policemen acting on our behalf were killed ‘like dogs’ by<br /> criminals using AK-47s- the weapon glorified as ‘imshini wam’…”<br /> <br /> This author is also best known for his short stories. Moreover he wrote a highly praised<br /> novel called "The Cry of Winnie Mandela", where the key persons are 4 women who are<br /> waiting for their husbands for several reasons and who are imagining conversations with<br /> Winnie Mandela.<br /> <br /> The second file is other short history by Nadine Gordimer called "Loot".<br /> “Once upon our time, there was an earthquake: but this one is the most powerful ever<br /> recorded since the invention of the Richter scale made possible for us to measure<br /> apocalyptic warnings...”<br /> <br /> Nadine Gordimer, who was born in 1923, is the author of more than 30 books – most of<br /> them deal with the social deterioration that affected her country during the apartheid regime.<br /> She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. She continues exploring the problems<br /> that afflict her country in her most recent books. She is politically active, during apartheid<br /> several of her works were banned in South Africa. Recently she was active in HIV-AIDS<br /> issues.<br /> <br /> The third file is the Award Ceremony Speech from Nadine Gordimer.<br /> I wish you enjoy the reading during the execution of the task!
Directive:
1. Read the files. Make comments on the behaviour of the main characters (at least one<br /> and a half page A4). Send it to your teacher.<br /> <br /> 2. Go to the university library and take notes about South African authors.<br /> <br /> 3. Make an essay of 1 page A4 how you value for yourself the South-African literature<br /> that you know now. Send it to your teacher.
