LEADER

Only a slither of perspicacious imagination is needed to understand that Africa is rapidly joining China, Europe and India as the fourth demographic monolith on this small blue planet. Asia is probably next, followed by and increasingly beligerent Arabia to complete Samuel Huntington’s prescient predictions of precisely 36 years ago.

In his seminal article ‘Clash of Civilizations’, Huntington foresaw the huge demographic shift that we are currently experiencing, and wisely predicted the create a new and far more simplistic multipolar world. The implications of these tectonic demographic shifts on our geo-political perceptions of this new multipolar world is yet to be determined, and I wonder of we South Africans will be able to navigate this country’s future with any measure of success? The population of Africa is roughly 1.5 billion people, similar to Western culture (including North and South America, China, India, and Asia excluding China. Adding this up, the total world population of eight billion people is exactly the same as the combination of the six constituent cultures I deleniate here.

The Global South

The waves of Fascism that has swept through the United States during Trumps two presidential terms, has shifted the centre of world economic and political power towards Europe, China and Russia. Europe, China and Russia ]BRICS, the African Union, the Arab League and ASEAN], are already deciding what globalism and a new world order will look like. The economic and political balance of the world order is being realigned because the political and cultural block that I mentioned, have both demography and geography on their side. Sovereign states like South Africa now have to either pick sides, or find its own path betwee multipolarism and multilateralism.

VOORBLAD | COVER

Our Cover/Ons Voorblad Ons NONGQAI wapenskild is deur Dr. Willem Steenkamp ontwerp en bestaan uit drie elemente: die agtergrond en buitelyn, tesame met die leuse en naam onder. Die wapenskild is die oorspronklike Natalse Nongqai – daarom die kroon as helmteken. Oor die skild is daar ‘n agtpuntige polisie-ster, en die binnekring van die wapenskild van die Unie-magte van die voor Afrikaanse, met die Springbok-kop met die leuse (nog in Nederlands), omheen. Die wapenskild is ‘n collage of samevoeging van drie werklike elemente waarmee Nongqai ‘n historiese assosiasie het, en plaas ons geskiedenis sedert 1907 netjies in perspektief.

Nongqai Abstract

Nongqai, a magazine dedicated to preserving South Africa’s national security history, has undergone a restructuring, with Brigadier Hennie Heymans appointed as the new chief editor. Previously, Heymans served as executive editor, a role now taken over by a new appointee. Heymans is recognized for his significant contributions in creating a balanced narrative of the pre-1994 South African security forces, countering one-sided and negative portrayals that dominated post-1994 narratives. Through Nongqai, he revived a vital collection of source material, ensuring a broader perspective on the past that is indispensable for historians. The magazine has served as a platform for veterans to share their oral histories, preventing these accounts from being lost, and has published insightful articles and special editions focused on specific topics. Despite lacking publishing expertise and financial resources, Heymans single-handedly managed the magazine’s production for years, later joined by Dr. Willem Steenkamp and, more recently, Henning van Aswegen. Nongqai stands as a testament to Heymans’ selfless dedication to historical truth, driven by his loyalty to the South African Police and appreciation for the security forces’ role in stabilizing the country during challenging times. The magazine, guided by the credo: “To preserve the past without living in it,” remains a trusted, unbiased source of historical documentation, reflecting Heymans’ integrity and passion.

DIE BURO IS BY IMPRIMATUR UITGEWERS, PRETORIA BESKIKBAAR: Mandy@Imprimatur.co.za

• Boekbeskrywing: DIE BURO

In Die Buro beskryf Henning van Aswegen die lewe en leed van Hendrik van den Bergh en sy tydgenote wat in 1963 Republikeinse Intelligensie (RI), en die Buro vir Staatsveiligheid in 1969 gestig het. Die Lang Generaal is ʼn historiese figuur wat onkreukbaar geglo het dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommunistiese Party (SAKP), nie oor die reg beskik het om Suid-Afrika se toekoms eiehandig te bepaal nie. Manne van Staal is nie populêre revisionistiese geskiedskrywing oor die Buro vir Staatsveiligheid nie; dit is die verhaal van wat agter die skerms gebeur het, en hoe hierdie historiese gebeure die verloop van die geskiedenis in Suid-Afrika beduidend beïnvloed het.

 Henning van Aswegen is die skrywer van die topverkoper Spioenmeesters (Kraal Uitgewers), en ‘n intelligesnie historikus wat spioenasieverhale uit Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis beskryf en ontleed. Van sy ander boeke is The Daisy Spy Ring, The Spymasters of South Africa, en Russian Espionage in South Africa. Henning van Aswegen is ‘n afgetrede dosent in Intelligensiekunde aan die Nasionale Intelligensie Akademie (NIA), Pretoria.
