Interview with Joel Joffe

In the conversation Joel Joffe related the provenance and background of the Mandela Papers, the road which these documents had traveled after the Rivonia Trial, and their return and handover to Nelson Mandela during the Bram Fischer Memorial Lecturer in 1996, who in turn handed them to Geoff Budlender, then Director at the Legal Resources Centre (LRC), at the very same ceremony.

Beyond the Barricades

Beyond the Barricades: Popular Resistance in South Africa in the 1980s

This exhibition (Editors, Omar Badsha, Gideon Mendel and Paul Weinberg) is an important collection of photographs by twenty South African photographers, mainly from the photographic collective, Afrapix. Both, the exhibition and subsequent book, have become an indispensable anthology of popular resistance in South Africa during the 1980’s. The collection highlights one of the longest and bloodiest periods of political resistance to apartheid, a time of mass mobilization and brutal repression when taking of images was often a matter of life and death.

Domestic Workers

The photographs were used for an Afrapix exhibition entitled "Domestic Workers", with photographs by Giselle Wulfsohn, Paul Weinberg, Santu Mofokeng, Dave Hartman and Guy Tillim.

They are images of domestic workers at work, during their time off, in their own homes, and attending Centres where they learned sewing and other skills. Also included are photos of meetings of the South African Domestic Workers Union (SADWU), which was formed in November 1986, combining five domestic workers unions to one strong national trade union.
