Overview

Nelson Mandela's South Africa's 1994 New Democracy and Peace Settlement is under pressure, as the ANC leaders contest places for the 2019 general election. On the one extreme, is the majority, unhappy with President Jacob Zuma, the state capture, corruption, yet unable to participate in the change of politics, let alone, contribute to changes in their lives. Divide & Rule takes the reader back to 1949, when the ANC were a united African group, seeking self-determination. By 1953, Nelson Mandela, through unidentified motives, elects to abandon the African struggle as defined by the 1949 Programme of Action, including a powerful Bill of Rights, ratified by the ANC annual conference. The ANC, during the period 1953 to 1958, is in great conflict, as the Charterists, Nelson Mandela's new management team, draft the Freedom Charter, and those in the ANC, the Africanists, reject the Freedom Charter. On November 1, 1958, the new management team, expelled the Africanist dissenters, and the once powerful African group, pushing for African self-determination, is split. Divide & Rule reflects on the Sharpeville Massacre, the ANC's thrust to regain supporters, Nelson Mandela and the ANC critical of the PAC anti-pass campaign. The questions are asked; Was Nelson Mandela conned, or a collaborator? Had Nelson Mandela and the ANC not attacked the PAC in the aftermath of the Sharpeville Massacre, would white rule have survived in South Africa? Did our Economic Democracy, extend white rule in South Africa, beyond 1963? Was the choice of Economic Democracy, in the interests of the majority?
