Author 
Twentieth century South African history and politics have been marked by intense conflict. This conflict still manifests itself on racial and class lines within the country. In this text, Dr Tsoaledi Daniel Thobejane is trying to bring about a Black perspective on the writing and narration of what led to the formation of what can be referred to as contemporary South Africa. The text is biographical and historical. He is looking at black resistance politics in south Africa an and also does a brief overview of international politics as compared to South Africa. As a South African who grew up in township and living in the United States, Thobejane feels bound to give a personal view of international relations, especially with the role of America under President George Bush (Jnr) in the Middle East.

Africa 2010 – The Future of Zimbabwe
www.weforum.org 06.05.2010 This session brings together the three leaders of the Government of National Unity at a critical moment in Zimbabwes history. With progress being made in reconciling historic differences, Zimbabwe’s economy has shown signs of recovery largely driven by the introduction of dollarization in January 2009, which helped to stabilize inflation and increase investment. (However, concerns remain as to the cohesion of the current government. The recent indigenization bill passed in parliament has caused concern for both international and local businesses.) What is the future of Zimbabwe under the current Government of National Unity, and how are investors and businesses adjusting their operational strategies to recent developments? Robert G. Mugabe Arthur G. Mutambara Morgan Tsvangirai Moderated by Klaus Schwab Julie Gichuru
