Capitalism and cheap labour-power in South Africa
In South Africa, the development of capitalism has been bound up with, first, the deterioration of the productive capacity and then, with increasing rapidity, the destruction of the pre-capitalist societies. In the earlier period of capitalism, the rate of surplus value and hence the rate of capital accumulation depended upon the maintenance of the pre-capitalist relations of production in the Reserve economy which provided a portion of the means…

The Debate on University Transformation in South Africa
This paper examines issues in the transformation of the university system in a democratic South Africa utilising the University of the Western Cape as a case study. In particular, it questions how the University's 1982 Mission Statement, which defined its oppositional role in the apartheid period, might be revised to shape the universities radical traditions to the tasks of the contribution of a new social order

Class concepts, class struggle and racism
In this paper my object is to draw on the theoretical implications of recent internal critiques of Marxist theory with a view to advancing some propositions, in a perhaps more explicit form than hitherto, relevant to the analysis of social structures and conflicts in capitalist societies in which racism is salient.

Political strategies and the law in South Africa
It is a commonplace that statutory law has been, and continues to be, a major mechanism in the structuring of the racial domination of the various black classes in South Africa. For this reason, oppositional political movements have had continuously to confront the law and to pose questions about political strategies towards legislation and its implementation. Political and trade union organisations have deployed two types of strategies and in bo…

A comment on 'the poverty of Neo-Marxism
In The Poverty of Neo-Marxism: the case of South Africa, I B. S. Kantor and H. F. Kenny set out to'. . . examine the validity of some neo-Marxist2 explanations of important aspects of South African economic history'. (p. 20). Their aim, of course, is exemplary-after all, critical work is essential to the production of adequate social analysis-but, unfortunately, their method and their theory are extremely unsatisfactory and, as a result, their cr…
The Bantustans and capital accumulation in South Africa
This, then, is the function of the native territories, to serve as cheap breeding grounds for black labour --the repositories of the reserve army of native labour --sucking it in or letting it out according to the demands of industry.By means of these territories Capital is relieved of the obligation of paying wages to cover the cost to the labourer of reproducing his kind
The 'White Working class' in South Africa
In general, the analysis of classes in the literature on South Africa beginsfrom the political and ideological levels and not from the concept of the mode of production. The effect of this is to obscure the nature of the class structure and changes in it and leads to a neglect of shifts in class alliances in the class struggle. In this paper, concepts of the ‘white working class’ commonly found in the literature are critically analysed and an alt…

Capitalism and cheap labour-power in South Africa
Conventionally, Apartheid is regarded as no more than an intensification of the earlier policy of Segregation and is ascribed simplistically to the particular racial ideology of the ruling Nationalist Party. In this article substantial differences between Apartheid and Segregation are identified and explained by reference to the changing relations of capitalist and African pre-capitalist modes of production. The supply of African migrant labour-p…
