Abdulrazak Gurnah: "I Rinkeby mötte jag absolut osjälviska svenskar"

JOHANNESBURG. Tre år efter att han fick Nobelpriset i litteratur känner Abdulrazak Gurnah ingen kreativ förbannelse.

Episode 36 - The Battle of Doornkop near Johannesburg & Churchill rides a bicycle

This episode is going to concentrate on the minutiae of the British army surrounding the city of Gold, Johannesburg. Its the city that was the main cause of this war with its gold and uitlanders or immigrants, who were mainly English speaking and had demanded the right to vote in the Transvaal. It was Kruger who denied them this vote knowing that his government would disappear under the weight of the uitlander city men and women who were colonials through and through and his culture would end. That was the belief. For black Johannesburgers who lived under the harsh Calvinistic overtones of the Boer rule, it was the possibility of freedom that beckoned. Little did they know that the British would impose far harsher rule on blacks than the Boers, and in fact the British adherance to their imperial bureaucracy meant that the weak control over black movement for example would be beefed up with the arrival of the super-efficient British Empire. So as the townships of the Witwatersrand echoed with happy sounds as black residents waited in expectation for the British arrival, the Boer administrators were rushing to empty the city of all its valuables. Twenty six kilometres away to the south west, Roberts was coming to visit. The main song sung by troops in his army was “We’re marching to Pretoria” which became a clarion call and a morale booster during tough times. The pattern of the advance rarely faltered, and surprised even Lord Roberts and one of the most famous war reporters riding alongside - Winston Churchill. He’d already been imprisoned and escaped from Pretoria, only to return to report for the Morning Post newspaper on the battles since. However, Churchill was beginning to have his doubts about the British role in this war.

Episode 37 - Johannesburg falls to the British

We are into week 37 of this series and Johannesburg lies before Lord Roberts’ army. But he’s using a Velvet Glove which in retrospect is one of the biggest bungles of his career. While he frets over the details in Johannesburg, Colvile is given a severe case of bloody nose by the Boers in Lindley in the Free State. Lord Robert’s large army has made its way over 1400 kilometers from Cape Town to Johannesburg, and in the north, the Transvaal Republic Capital Pretoria awaits his khaki dressed soldiers. The mines are safe, and that’s been one of the main worries facing the British commander as he marched northwards, with Oom or Uncle Paul Kruger the Boer President threatening to blow them up, while his General, Louis Botha, was threatening to protect these mines saying it would be cowardly to destroy them. Lord Roberts thought it best to allow the Boers to withdraw as the commander of Johannesburg, a Mr Krause, asked that the last commandos be allowed out and avoid the killing of women and children who remained in the city. Their commander in chief, their hero Kruger, remained at large. For black workers in Johannesburg It must have been an utter shock to discover that the English were not their saviours, that the plan was to force the 14 000 back to role serving the gold mine owners for measly few shillings a month.

South Africa fire: What are Johannesburg's hijacked buildings?

Many buildings in the centre of the South African city of Johannesburg, where a horrific fire has killed more than 70 people, are deemed unfit to live in. Yet these old blocks, abandoned by their owners or the city authorities, are full of families often paying rent to criminal gangs who run them. The buildings, which lack running water, toilets or a legal electricity connection, are then said to have been "hijacked". We find out what this means. A private plane found with more than $5m in cash, fake gold, guns and ammunition on board, is at the centre of a deepening investigation in the Zambian capital, Lusaka. The African Climate Summit will take place in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi next week, featuring speakers from Kenya’s government, the African Union and the United Nations. Will the event be just hot air or will it provide a solid plan of action?
