South African history has been punctuated by some remarkable
speeches, such as Nelson Mandela’s powerful and courageous
statement from the dock during the Rivonia Trial, or, on the other
side of the spectrum, P.W. Botha’s infamous Rubicon speech, which
failed to deliver anticipated reforms and intensified the conflict
of the 1980s. Who can forget F.W. de Klerk’s speech announcing the
unbanning of the ANC and the imminent release of Mandela and other
prisoners, or Mandela’s speech on the Grand Parade a few days
later? Speeches that Shaped South Africa is the first collection of
these historic moments and it examines about 35 speeches from the
beginning of apartheid to the present day. The book includes Harold
Macmillan’s ‘Wind of Change’, Thabo Mbeki’s ‘I am an African’,
Ahmed Kathrada’s speech at Nelson Mandela’s funeral, and Mmusi
Maimane’s ‘Broken Man’ speech. Also included are Steve Biko, Helen
Suzman, Winnie Mandela, Oliver Tambo and Julius Malema. Before and
after each speech is a narrative that places it in a historical
context, explains who the speaker was, and explores the effects and
reception of the speech. This is a fascinating account of South
African history over the past seventy years, through the lens of
important figures making significant public statements.
