In his lifetime Bishop Alphaeus Zulu visited eleven countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Australia. He was awarded three honorary doctorates and had been nominated for election as Archbishop of Cape Town. Elected in 1960 as suffragan Bishop of St. John’s, Transkei, Alphaeus Zulu was the first African Bishop of the (Anglican) Church of the Province of South Africa (CPSA). Alphaeus Zulu was notable by birth too, as a member of the Zulu royal house who regarded Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi as family. His involvement with Buthelezi extended beyond family commitments to his active involvement in the Zulu cultural movement Inkatha Yenkululeko Yesizwe. Buthelezi had been prepared for confirmation by Alphaeus Zulu and attributed the reemergence of Inkatha to the encouragement of Alphaeus Zulu and Kenneth Kaunda.2 Alphaeus Zulu was a member of Inkatha’s central committee from its inception, serving as its first National Chairman. After his retirement as Bishop of Zululand in 1978, he served as Speaker of the KwaZulu Legislative Assembly.

The significance of violence in the founding of states and the quest for democracy is a basic concern not only for general and abstract political theory but also at the level of particular political discourses in their historical contexts. South Africa has had a long and varied history of political violence from pre-colonial times, through conquest, slavery and a century of frontier wars to apartheid, the liberation struggle and the violent funding of a post-apartheid democracy. Some, but by no means all, of this proliferating and destructive violence can be accounted for in instrumental or strategic tenns. For the rest, though, this violent history was not understood, either at the time or in retrospect, as simply that of random violence or of endemic strife, a succession of arbitrary and irrational conflicts. Significantly, this often took the form of narratives of political violence whether at the level of oral histories, of popular legends, of J?artisan accounts, of official findings, of stories of nation-building or of academic histories. These diverse narratives may themselves be interrogated for the implicit understandings of the significance of political violence in the founding

Given the relative lack of literature on the subject of fathers in South Africa, what follows is tentative and exploratory.' Sketching out the changing context of fathering and fatherhood over the 20th century, the article gives specific attention to fathers in the current period of unemployment and diminishing marital rates. The basic argument is that a disjuncture exists today between many men's relative ease at fathering children (in a biological sense) and their inability to fulfill the roles of fatherhood (in a social sense). This fissure, it tries to show, provides an important entry point for understanding the contradictory contours of male power in past-apartheid South Africa.

In 1879 British imperial and colonial forces invaded the Zulu kingdom and the two armies fought a number of pitched battles, amongst them Isandlwana and Rorke's drift, which have become for millions around the world emblematic representations of two fundamental aspects of imperial warfare - the superior weaponry and unflinching discipline of European troops confronting superior numbers and reckless African savagery. Ever since the 1879 invasion a voracious and uncritical reading public has consumed a vast accumulation of accounts of courageous redcoats meeting the massed Zulu charge with ranked volley-firing. Even attempts at serious analysis have failed, to my mind, to break with the imperial narrative largely because the authors are so mesmerised by the idea of men killing men that they fail to contextualise the conflict effectively. And, more recently, the imperial nostalgia which underlies conventional, histories of the invasion has seeped into the world of heritage and tourism with the result that colonial dispossession through warfare is presented as a heroic clash between the noble representatives of different military traditions, savage and civilised , which obscures with a sentimental veneer not just the brutality and injustice of the 1879 war but the fact that the invasion is a key to an understanding of contemporary misery and poverty in rural KwaZulu-Natal.

In the days leading to July 18, 1891, Nozingqwazi, a widow of Nkunga, worked on a petition that she finally sent to the Secretary for Native Affairs (henceforth SNA), S.O. Samuelson. In her petition, Nozingqwazi drew the attention of the SNA to Reverend H.D. Goodenough's action of selling the land she occupied and cultivated to Sick Msomi, a resident of Groutville. Her petition elicited reactions not only from various individuals (all of them men) within the small community of Groutville, but also from local colonial authorities and ultimately the Natal colonial government itself. Community leaders and colonial authorities engaged the petition for seven months (between July 1891 and January 1892) without coming to a conclusion. While the outcome of the discussion about the petition is important, this article focuses on the collective production of petitions, and on their writers, readers, and intended onlookers. These remarkable activities attracted the attention of those who wielded power. The activities of the participants in these events demonstrate how far they had travelled in political terms. They had come to occupy a new space, one characterized by evening meetings and social gatherings where people who wanted to discuss grievances turned their ideas into intelligible petition. These gatherings ushered in a new form of responding to state power. Indeed, Nozingqwazi's petition belongs to this new culture of mission station life.

This article sets out to explore the question of why conservation management in Natal took the particular form it did by 1947 - a form largely retained in the region today. The Act which brought into being the Union of South Africa in 1910 made wildlife preservation a provincial competency. However over the next century three of the four original provinces in the Union gradually brought their most important parks and game reserves under the 1926 National Parks Act. Natal did not: it retained provincial control of all its conservation resources. Tourists to the province of KwaZulu-Natal today may not realise that the main reserves in the Zululand region - for example what is now the combined Hluhluwe-Umfolozi park, for many years the province's flagship game reserves - are not in fact national parks. At least for the present, they continue to fall under the provincial conservation board (currently called the KwaZulu-Natal Nature Conservation Services or Ezemvelo-KZN Wildlife) rather than under the South African National Parks Board.

Most of the contributions to this edited volume were first presented at the conference "Contexts of Gender in Africa" organized by the Nordic Africa Institute's Sexuality, Gender and Society in Africa research programme in February 2002. In themselves, many of the studies are interesting and well-written, and in some instances offer new lines of inquiry into ethnographic studies. Nonetheless. problems inevitably arise when these disparate works are grouped into such a broad volume. Signe Amfred makes it abundantly clear in her introduction that postmodem writing on sexuality in Africa involves a transformation not merely of cognitive boundaries, but also of the ways in which these boundaries are constituted in the first place. Lest one accuse this particular postmodem cnt1que of representation of indicating the end of meaning. Amfred assures us that the point of this volume, separated into. three parts, is to raise the possibility of different modalities of meaning, or "alternative lines of thinking" as she puts it. 1 However; as this review attempts to illustrate, the production of alternative ways of thinking about sexuality in Africa appears to be a rather fraught project.

Many Muslims in post-apartheid South Africa have been seeking to use the new freedoms of a democratic state and its liberal constitution to pursue distinctive rights as part of a broader project to construct new and tighter Islamic codes in public and private domains. One example is the call for shariah-based Muslim Personal Law (MPL) in accordance with the South African Constitution which allows for the recognition of 'personal or family law' provided it is not in conflict with the Constitution. A South African Law Commission (SALC) committee headed by Supreme Court Judge Mohamed Navsa released a draft Bill on MPL in December 2001. Muslim journalist Khadija Magardie considered it "a progressive step" towards resolving the mismatch between Muslim personal law and the Bill of Rights, but warned that while it was "good news for some, its contents are likely to have some quarters sighing into their three fists long beards."
