INTRODUCTION
The
COSAWR Collection was deposited in the Manuscripts and Archives section of the
University of Cape Town Libraries by Matthew Temple on behalf of the Committee
on South African War Resistance at the end of 1990. This London based committee was established to assist
war resisters who left South Africa to avoid conscription within the country,
and to give support to those who were resisting conscription within the country.
The
Collection is in two parts.
The
first part, War Resistance Files, consists of press clippings, correspondence
and other material dealing with resistance to the Apartheid War, both in South
Africa and abroad. The material
reflects war resistance in general in South Africa, as well as detailing the
cases of specific conscientious objectors, the international support received by
war resisters and the South African government's response to war resistance.
A collection of United Nations documents reflects world opposition to the
South African government's policies over the years.
It contains material about conscientious objectors who left South Africa
and sought residence or political asylum in other countries, and a section of
media resources; books, videos, audio tapes, relating to war resistance.
(A list of these is available.)
The
second part of the collection gives a comprehensive overview of the South
African Military as depicted mainly in the news media.
It covers military legislation, the structures of the SADF, conscription
and recruitment, propaganda, especially that aimed at young people in
educational institutions, and the role of women.
Other
sections deal with opposition to the apartheid war, internal and external,
collaboration with the apartheid war, internal and external, illegal arms sales
to and from South Africa, and relations with the frontline states.
Special
attention is given to the role of the ANC in exile, the churches, mercenaries
and right wing organisations.
A large
section deals with the effects of war on individuals, post traumatic stress
disorder in soldiers, corruption and crime in the armed forces, and general war
psychosis.
After
February 1990 a number of war resisters returned to South Africa, and the
organisation was disbanded.
