Market Theatre Oral History Project

  • ZA HPRA AG3406
  • Fonds
  • 2014-2015

It has been recognized that there is no comprehensive and complete archive on The Market Theatre that covers the years mentioned above, and this is a serious gap in historical recording of knowledge in South Africa. The archives that exist at present are housed in various places across the country. These include the Wits Historical Papers, The Star Newspaper, NELM and the State Theatre archive. This project proposed filling that gap by initially establishing what is missing in the various existing archives, negotiating with custodians of said archives in order to possibly bring original material together under one roof or to make copies of this material. The project also aimed at conducting interviews across the country with practitioners who worked at The Market Theatre during that time in order to compile a living memory that will be included in the archive, before this valuable knowledge is lost.
This archive will enable those researchers, academic or otherwise, to access knowledge on the art of that era, information on Apartheid and the arts, and The Market Theatre in general. There is no other archive that specifically addresses performance during the Apartheid era. It is thus vitally important that this history is readily available to anyone who might need to access it. It is also imperative that this history is recorded before it is lost. Innovation lies in the content of the archive.

Umuhle ... Umubi - The good one ... the bad one

  • ZA HPRA A3379
  • Fonds
  • 2013

The television documentary was inspired by the story of the march of about 7000 Zulu mine workers from the Witwatersrand to the rural areas of Zululand / Natal at the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War in 1899. The repatriation march of the mine workers was led by John Sydney Marwick, a public servant at the time, saving them from certain starvation, as Gold mining on the Witwatersrand had come to a grinding halt.
The documentary places the story of John Sydney Marwick against the historic background of British colonial conquest in Natal and resistance by the Zulu nation, covering the Battle of Isandlwana in 1879 to the Bambatha rebellion of 1906.

Mark Heywood Papers

  • ZA HPRA A2562
  • Fonds
  • 1981 - 2012

The "Marxist Workers Tendency (MWT) of the ANC", was founded in 1979 by Mark Heywood, Paula Ensor, Dave Hemson and Martin Legassick. The MWT was a result of a conflict with the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) and the then exiled African National Congress (ANC), trying to persuade them to commit to policies towards a socialist revolution in South Africa.
During that time Mark Heywood was instrumental in setting up the Philemon Mauku Defence Campaign and the Leeukop Political Prisoners Support Committee.
The documents submitted in 2016 relate mainly to his post-1994 activism as part of organisations such as the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS); the AIDS Law Project (ALP), which evolved from CALS and which was later incorporated into 'Section 27', where Mark Heywood served as Executive Director at the time of the additional submissions; and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC). The documents also include some personal papers.
