Although many talk of leaving, a 1992 survey showed that only 27% of English-speaking and 13% of Afrikaans-speaking whites contemplate emigration.

Last month Verwoerd stood on an A.N.C. platform in Parow, a conservative suburb of Cape Town, and confessed his political...

Living up to its funky monniker, a condensation of "agitation propaganda," Agitprop digs up facets of our culture and packages them for popular consumption. After only two years, this energetic arts group has organized many offbeat events to accomplish their goal...
...host of Vintage, or art critic Robert Hughes, cicerone of The Shock of the New. The narrator of Dancing is Raoul Trujillo, a marginally telegenic modern dancer- choreographer who reads his lines with unconvincing passion. Under a more pungent guide, Dancing could have skipped a lot of repetitive propaganda. By series' end, viewers will have heard the word culture so often that some may be tempted, like Hermann Goring, to reach for their revolvers...
