II is also clear that the govern­ment, historically through apart­heid and presently through controlover til!' media. is deJiberilt..ly stnv­ing to keep any knowl..dge of theobject ive reali t ies of South AiriCiIa wav from the publ ic.

On 2 March 1915, General Hert­zog was asked in Pa rliament whyhe nevpr spo ke out .t!:i1insl the BoerGen eral who in 1914 refused to beconscr ipted into the Union Army ino rd...- to inya dt" tht" thl'n CermanSouth Wl'St Alrica Hansilrd ,urn,up his rf'J'ly a, f,)llow;;

"Either he (He rt zo g) must saywhat they (the government) wantedh ,m 10 say. or he ruus t speak hismind openly to the public.

I a m not a political pl1!51ilu le .And I hilve given to vou today myconvictions and bel iefs as honestlyas I ca n, It wa' Al bert Camus whosdid "that in every act of rebellion .the man conc('rnc'tl experiences n01only a feeling of ,('vul"o n at themfringement 01 his righ ts, but a lsoa complete and spontaneous loyaltyto ce rta in aspects 01 himself .

sident of the tnstitu te of Race Rela­t ions: Lawrence Schlemmer. Pro­fessor Schlemmer has recent ly as­sumed the pos itio n of Directo r ofthe important new Centre lor PolicyStudies at Ow Uni".. "i tyof the Wit­wa ters rand. which has just pub­lished, a lmost as a manifesto, apapN called "Bcvond Protest.Thoughts on Change Strategies inSouth Africa '", As we are wont toexpect from hi m, Schlemm er"spap<!< givC$ much sober food forthoullht.

Like peterBerg...- and Bobby Godsell in theirnew IxKlk, A Fuwre South Africa 'Visions, Strategies and ReaJities,Schlemmer is primar il y concernedwith arguing for the need for stratc­gic ana lysis, and warns against thedang"" and confusions inherent ineither ve rsron of the "moralist "approach . Schlemmer is preparedto grant that t he mo ral pressure ap­proach "may have some strategi c

ability if il is used wit h careful dis­c ipline" (3) , However for (1), theexpression 01 mora l outrage andprotest. he has no usc whatsoever.The mora lprotest position. he says,"need not necessari ly imp ly con ­crete obiecttves since a morill pos­ture is often its own reward " (p. 1).To Schlemmer morill prot"SI andoutrage is no mo re t han a quest ionof "achieving immediilte l'fT1ol ionalrelease", of futile "l'fTIOtionalcarhar­sis"' (p.2). Sch lemmel loo ks to aform of stra tegic analysis apparent­ly purged irum all moral connota­tions whatsoever This position is"based on carefu l ilnalysis and theassessment of strategic opportun ­rues" (p.2l; it is concerned wit hident ifying o ngoi ng " process..swhi ch ta ke chilnges and reformsbeyo nd the Iimils intended by deci­s ion-m~ kcrs" (p,b); it recognises theessential "inte r",sts" of the part iesconcernf'<!, dist inguishing between"core" and "marginill"' interests; itseeks to devise mechanisms whichcan "seduce" Of "rewardvreacnon­a ry po litical groupings into accept­ing reform and change, If there isilny mura l component to the stre­te!'lic task of "facil itating" tf>e slowand pa inful process of change, thenit is resolute ly suppressed. In thisperspacnve the phenomenon ofmoral outrage appears simply a' alamentably dysfunctional and irra­tiona l factor

Perhilps, if we are still even rest­dUillly concerned wilh truth andjustice in South Africa, we need totake the social s ignificance andpol itical functions of "moral out­rag(''' rathe r more senouslv. Schlem­mer is right that, both internallyand internationa ll y, moral out rageis a miljor component of the com­milled and sustained opposit ion tothe apartheid ord er. But it wouldbe wrong to dismiss that simply asmoral post urlng, or as irrat ionalemotional gtat lficanon. Part of theproblem is that we tend to thin k ofmora l protest in terms of actualorganised demonstra tions or peti­t ions. typically by students Uf othermarginal grouping, . But this is tolook at o;omf'of the attendant symp­toms. not at the underlying so c ia lforces and exper iences. In it, mostbasic forms the experience of mora loutrage and protest which sustainsopposit ion to apartheid is tn b..found at qu ite a different lwe i, It isto be found in the struggles throughwhich m,&rant labourers and the irfam ilies rdused to reruam separated

by the JlaS~ laws and iniluxcontrol ;it is to he found in the exper ienceof whole communities uprooted b~'

the Group A' eas Act which hasmild", District Six into such a sedr­ing public symbol ; it is to be foundin th", indomilable resistance of tra­ditional rural communities like I(Wil­nccma or Magopa to their forcedremoval as "black soots": it is to befound in the will of squatt ing com­munities such as Crossroads andKTC not to be moved, com ing backagain and again atter thei r shackshad been destroyed o rrazed; it is tobe found in the traumati c expe­riences of indtvid uels and fam il ieswho fel lvictim to the Race Classili­cation and Immorality Acts; it is tobe found in the moral couragewhich enables a soli tary Black Sashmember to stand in silent protest inthe midst of uncaring subur banbust le; it is to be found in thatw t uch brmgs vocng white conscriptsto declare in public t hat Ih.'Y can­not fight an unjust war or go withthe troops into the townships, evenif this would cost them six years ofthe ir li ves I could go on, but thepoint should be clear. Moral out­rage and protest is not an irrationalencumbrance to strategie<; forchange: it is a ma jor so urce for thesocia land politica l processes whichg ive rise to and sustain resis tanceagilinst the in justice of the apart­heid orde r,

What might be concluded fromthis for our tupi c of truth and jus­t ice In South Airicil? At least t his; ifthe liheral tradnion of d iscourseabou t truth and justice has provedhighly ambiguous and more oftenthan not abortive. men the strug­Il les of our recent history have cer­:ili nly established a popula r andeffecti ve R'n,e 01 injustice Fromt his, there cannot be any goingback, but it also does not ensurethe achrevemenr of truth i1 nd jus­t ice.

But if our li ;x,ral tradit ion of dls .course ab out tru th and justice canfind appropriate ways of re lat ing tothe current histor ical exper ience ofinjusti ' :e, it may yet be able to con­tribut.. to the Hberanng rather t hanrepressive components of that pop­ular moral nutrage. Todo th at ir willhave to come to terms with its ownideological functions and histor ica lfailures. Perhaps Wt' may yet lea rnhow we might else be empoweredby the inte llectua l and pol it icaltrad itions that have too often im­prisoned us in the past.
