South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture: The end of non-racialism?
http://thblaser.blogspot.com/2010/11/end-of-non-racialism.html
South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. The end of non-racialism? A few years ago, one could remain optimistic that the ruling party was finding a compromise between African nationalism and liberal constitutionalism. After all, such was required if the majority of South Africans was to have a better life. This is no longer the case. Self-enrichment is what defines the ANC today. Just look at the party’s youth, the future of the country? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture. Friday, June 3, 2011. Karl Polanyi and the 'too perfect paraphrase' plagiarism charge. Prompted by a seminar I attended at the Sociology and Social Anthropology Department at Stellenbosch University, I read Karl Polanyi's historical-anthropological account of the economy of the kingdom of Dahomey, an African state on the Gold Coast in the 17th. and 18th. centuries that was involved in the slave trade. When I was an undergraduate student at Simon Fraser Universit...

South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture: April 2011
http://thblaser.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture. Friday, April 8, 2011. The new SAFM - on the mend. I have been listening much to SAFM these days. And indeed, the station has improved. They found the right people to conduct interviews and grill the high and mighty in a sensible way. There is already enough idle chit-chat on the airwaves and it would be nice if we had a station that aims to show our lives, with all its facets, joys and contradictions,and with new angles and does not just indulge in banalities.

South Africa - Politics, Society, Culture. Friday, April 30, 2010. Running a marathon: experiencing race. This past weekend, I was running a marathon in the south of Johannesburg, in the Klipriver area, a suburb wedged between Soweto and Kathlegong. It was my first ever and it was my last chance to qualify for the coming Comrades Ultramarathon, from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. The race went well and I qualified by running the intermediate to difficult parcours in 4 hours and 53 minutes. Links to this post.
