“Now you can think about other things, like music or football.” Another even hinted at envy for the clarity of purpose that existed then, saying: “There was only one goal – to get rid of racism Things are much more complicated for us now. I was at Orlando Stadium last year, and there was lots of liquor and kwaito music. When I complained, they said it was just youthful energy, but other countries have more dignified commemorations of their history.”It is probably inevitable that young Sowetans, who have no memory of apartheid, seem to treat the battles of the past irreverently “In those days, everything was political,” one tells me. “Some of them treat the commemoration day as just another party. They are now active in the June 16th Foundation, an organisation of veterans that seeks to keep the memory of the uprising alive as well as engaging in social projects, but they sometimes feel that those who are the same age now as they were in 1976 do not appreciate their sacrifice.”Younger people can be passive and ignorant of issues,” says Moloto. Many better-off parents are sending their children to fee-paying schools in the white areas, where – and this must be the ultimate irony – some of them are taught in Afrikaans.Mphafi and Moloto both worked undercover for the ANC while earning a modest living during the apartheid years.
They had unrealistic expectations – they thought that, once freedom came, we could all live like whites. Now they have responsibilities, but no education.”And as these middle-aged veterans struggle to ensure that their children get a better start than they themselves had, they encounter a bitter irony: the schools they walked out of, in protest against an inferior education, are often scarcely any better today, due to both poor social conditions and lack of funding. Anyone who opposed them risked being denounced as a sell-out and suffering a dreadful death by “necklacing”, when a petrol-soaked tyre would be put around the victim’s neck and set alight.Those anarchic days have receded, but Mphafi admits that “many foot-soldiers in the revolution missed out. This reached its nadir in Winnie Mandela’s notorious “football team”, in reality a group of young thugs who terrorised Soweto. “If we found anything they would be beaten, sometimes killed.
It still happens.”But among a generation unschooled in anything but the catchphrases of mass action, the militant fervour of June 1976 often degenerated into thuggery and intimidation. Schools lost most of their pupils in obedience to the slogan “Liberation, then education”, and the results are still being felt today.With the police enforcing apartheid rather than law and order in the 1970s, and struggling today with a lack of resources, vigilantism has always been present in Soweto. “We students used to confront the tsotsis [robbers] and search them,” says Mphafi. “There were no wedding parties, because it was not the moment to make merry,” says Mphafi, now 52. The “comrades” shut down contraception clinics, believing that mothers should have more babies to serve the cause.
“We were burying people every day of the week, and that changed the whole mood,” he says. “We felt under siege.”Everything became subservient to the struggle. From that day on, the white regime never regained control of the townships, and in the end it had to surrender its grip on the country.In the weeks and months after 16 June, according to Anthony Mphafi, a former student leader, any revolutionary euphoria in Soweto soon evaporated. It would be more than a dozen years before Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and the best part of two decades before he was inaugurated as the first freely elected president in South Africa’s history But 16 June 1976 was the beginning of the end of apartheid. No pictures of what was happening in the townships were ever shown again while the white government remained in power.I left South Africa for good a year after the uprising began. My newspaper and the rest of the English-language press were criticised for dwelling on the subject, while the nascent SABC television service, which had done a creditable job of covering the first couple of days of the revolt, was quickly brought to heel. But that was the purpose of the townships – to keep the black majority at a safe distance.
Once it became clear that the violence was unlikely to spill over into their suburbs, the white community, with few exceptions, tried to put the uprising out of their minds. But our escort came back to rescue us, and we escaped without further incident, in silence.If whites could have seen what was happening in Soweto, they might have understood why the unrest spread to almost every township in the country within days. “Keep them back, or we’re dead,” one of them shouted, and as I cowered in the back, unable to escape, I knew that I would share in whatever fate came their way. “We shot some kaffirs then, and I want the chance to shoot some more,” said one. All their bravado disappeared, however, as we ran the gauntlet of the stone-throwers.The driver lost control as he tried to negotiate a barrier thrown up by the rioters, and we crashed into a petrol drum, immobilising the car The policemen blazed away with their revolvers in panic.

The European Football Union yesterday clarified the position regarding the transfer system and nationality rules following the Jean-Marc Bosman judgement. “The commercial and environmental benefits are obvious,” he says.”Why not put President Chirac into a cellar with fungus and dynamite and let him make his own mushroom cloud?” asks David Urquhart.Nicholas E Gough sent us, in a brandy bottle, 50ml of reconstituted cloud – very useful if you are thirsty, he claims N Edwards sugg- ests drying clouds for convenient storage. We hope you have a merry one and return refreshed for our next encounter, with mad cows. Meanwhile, for when we return in the new year, we are looking for things to do with 1996. “Then, whenever there’s a drought, you can just add water and make rain.”William Salaman says there are four main types of cloud: Sheadtratus, Nimbheadus, Cheadumulus and Cheadirrus, but we think his head may be in the clouds.Prizes to Bill Fowler, A Marshall and Gilbert Wood Next week is Christmas.
More ideas:Store on car roof and drop between low sun and windscreen when necessary (Jeanette Solomons); potty-train them and sell results to Yorkshire Water, or blast into space to create White Holes, or cut up to make wigs for bald sheep (A Marshall).Gilbert Wood advises capturing clouds from aircraft and using their contents to make tea or coffee for the passengers, thus reducing the amount of water needed on board, and thereby saving fuel. Richard Branson returns in an idea from Mike Farriss, who suggests stuffing cumulus clouds into the Virgin king’s balloon to keep it airborne. “The Government,” Duncan Bull says, “should confiscate every cloud and extract the silver lining. The resultant worthless clouds would be stockpiled and sold to needy water companies during droughts. (Several other readers suggested transferring silver linings from clouds to suits or duvets to increase their value or tog value.)”If bottled,” says Janet Walker, “they could be used by psychiatrists who run out of ink for Rorschach tests.” Stuart Cooper gives instructions for constructing a personal shower from a cloud and a very long piece of string. Pull down the soft woolly ones, advises Bill Fowler, and use for packing delicate items or as ear-muffs for elephants Or use to plug the holes in the ozone layer. Clouds are for cuckoos to land on, says Betty Roe.
Roll up and use as earplugs for giants, suggests Jan Moor.
Clouds, says Michael Rubinstein, may feed the visual poetic imagination almost beyond endurance. Bringing them down to earth, however, he suggests they may be used “to wallow in a fog of pseudo-romantic euphoria”. Mollie Caird says they are useful for wandering lonely as, while Nicholas James takes a more social approach, suggesting clouds should be introduced to each other more often, so that they won’t have to wander lonely. Clouds, says Len Clarke, are very useful for naughty politicians to be under. Clouds, says Rosie Trevelyan, were invented by Richard Branson to bring visual relief to passengers staring out of the windows on long- haul flights.
He could start by trying to raise morale among dejected teachers. The best start would be a period of stability in schools as we come closer to the election, instead of questionable organisational change that an alternative government would quickly unstitch.. Instead of flogging a policy that does not want to run, the Prime Minister should listen to Mrs Shephard and instead concentrate on developing schools in their present framework. Mr Major is a politician in a hurry, worried that Labour will take power and kill the self-government ideal.He is behaving like many of his predecessors, Labour and Tory, who were too desperate to leave their own institutional mark on the education system. Like them, Mr Major suffers from the illusion that you cannot improve schools unless you reorganise them.He is mistaken: there are many other ways to raise standards. But she has been unable to convince her boss to swallow his pride and drop his controversial proposals.So why is Mr Major persisting with an unpopular policy shift that could have bishops denouncing him from their pulpits? Because he now realises that school self-government is unlikely to take root in the school system before the general election. In the past school year, 15 out of the 4,000 voluntary-aided or church schools conducted ballots of parents, and of those only six voted to opt out.Mrs Shephard for her part has spotted the storm ahead and is against changing the balloting rules.
So far, only one in 24 schools has opted out and only a trickle are in the pipeline. But if it is not genuinely optional for parents, then it loses its Tory raison d’etre.And Mr Major’s plan is politically inept. The churches do not like it: their schools already enjoy considerable autonomy and most do not want any more distance from their local council. Opting out can, indeed, offer schools a chance to free themselves from what can be the dead hand of council bureaucracy. He desperately wants to increase the number of self-governing schools. And he seems incapable of accepting reality: that most parents do not, in fact, want their schools to break away from the local council.
This fixation is becoming serious.
It was doused in a sweet chilli sauce that played merrily with the fresh sweetness of the caramelised fruit. On the side was a neat scoop of fromage frais (again) ice-cream, and a small dryish cake to sop up the juices. Advancing towards us was the grand finale, a whole roast Rasta pineapple. Vanilla pod dreadlocks sprang out from top to toe and, weee, off came the top knot, the body was cleaved in two, and our plates were filled with neat, juicy slices.
It was lovely, with its jaunty little raisin perched on top, and about all that could be squeezed into my stomach But it soon became clear that it had been a minor stop gap. My BT chum was, meanwhile, gleefully tucking into Marco’s homage to that other great London chef, Pierre Koffman – a whole, laboriously boned pig’s trotter stuffed with morels, sweetbreads and more, wickedly sticky and melting, and bathed in a dream of an “essence of morels”.By this point, I was kind of hoping that the mini breast of a creme caramel trembling before us was the last offering. The slick of potato mousseline, with its neat quiff, was to die for, so smooth and rich and disastrously delicious that I ate far more of it than I should, given what had gone before and what was still to come. This heady cavalcade of dishes steeped in the classic luxuries is enough to turn the head of the most dedicated gourmet, let alone the rest of us more ordinary souls.
If I had one small reservation – and if the food weren’t so very good, I would hardly have picked up on it – it would be that the autumnal tomatoes of our millefeuille were a little bland.Next I discovered that a bressole of bresse pigeon, is a neat little parcel of rare pigeon breast, sandwiched with foie gras (yes, more of it), wrapped in Savoy cabbage. There is none of the fashionable drizzly sauce, spattered artily here and there across the plate Oh no, this is precise detailed presentation. Marco Pierre White and his team are perfectionists, no doubt about that, both visually and in terms of taste. We shared, we marvelled, we cleaned our plates.The next act, a light one, revealed an oval tranche of wild salmon with crayfish and caviare and fromage frais on one side of the stage, and on the other a millefeuille of crab and tomatoes – the tomatoes playing the role of pastry leaves – perched in the centre of a perfect circle of red tomato vinaigrette. My friend didn’t think he was particularly partial to oysters, but the cool, silky creatures of our amuse-gueule, embedded in champagne jelly on a hidden cushion of fromage frais, changed all that.

Some believe that the focus on vegetation reinforces the preconception that non-Western art is closer to nature and therefore “primitive”.M. Chirac has long claimed a passion for non-Western art, and apparently has expert knowledge in the field. We want to place it on the same level,” said Patrice Januel, the museum’s director and curator.However, critics have pointed to the construction of the Vegetation Wall as evidence of the project’s patronising approach. And it is likely to be one of the few lasting memorials to his decade at the Elys?Palace.
But that has done little to stop critics who object to the idea of categorising African, Asian and Pacific art as separate from Western art.
The museum’s directors, aware of the potential brickbats, were careful to choose the title Museum of the Quai Branly to avoid any reference to primitive art. “We want to show that this type of art is equivalent to European art. The museum, dedicated entirely to non-Western arts, and set to open next Monday on the left bank of the Seine between Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, has been one of the French President’s pet projects since his election in 1995. The first power station will be moored in the White Sea off the town of Severodvinsk in Russia’s northern Archangel region.. Jacques Chirac’s hopes of leaving a glittering legacy in the shape of a major new museum in Paris were already in trouble yesterday, with critics calling the Quai Branly patronising and racist before it had even opened its doors.
Russia also wants to sell the structures to other countries, including China and India.The structures will have a service life of 40 years, require a crew of 69 people, and could power a medium-sized town. A report from Bellona Foundation, an independent Norwegian research group, claims the floating power stations are “a threat to the Arctic, the world’s oceans, and the whole concept of non-proliferation.”The structures will supply heat and electricity to far-flung corners of Russia’s far east and far north where it is difficult and expensive to ship coal and oil. Sergey Obozov, a senior official at the agency, said they would be “reliable as a Kalashnikov assault rifle, which are a benchmark of safety.”But environmentalists warned that the power stations could sink in stormy weather, and could become a target for terrorists. Rosenergoatom, the country’s nuclear power agency, says it intends to build up to six mobile power stations, costing £182m each, the first scheduled for use in 2010.
Sergey Kiriyenko, the head of Rosenergoatom, said: “There will be no floating Chernobyl,” referring to the 1986 nuclear disaster.
But with one of the strongest markets in years, boosted by the growing bands of Russian collectors and increasing interest from Indian buyers, no one expects the record not to be broken..

TOKYO (Reuters Life!) – Japan is counting down to its biggest legal revolution in 60 years, opening up its criminal justice system by bringing the public into court as lay judges — but many say they’d rather leave it to professionals. Despite calls for it to be re-introduced, verdicts and sentencing have been the province of professional judges since then.Neighboring South Korea has introduced a consultative jury system, but many prosecutors and even defense lawyers are reluctant to abandon the old way of doing things.Japan’s judges reach verdicts and pass sentences largely on the basis of paperwork. Many trials are very lengthy and usually end in a guilty verdict for more than 99 percent of cases.One of the aims of the new system, from which defendants cannot opt out, is to reach a verdict in a few days.PUBLIC UNEASESome Japanese reject the lay judge system entirely, and are campaigning to have it suspended. Family relations consultant Hiromi Ikeuchi says acting as a judge will be a needless burden on people who are not trained or paid to deal with the stress.”It doesn’t suit the Japanese temperament,” she said. “I would not want my own 20-year-old daughter, for example, to have to examine disturbing photographic evidence from a rape-murder.”"If they want to open the legal system up to the public, they should just broadcast trials on television,” Ikeuchi added.Others are calling for changes in the system, which comes into force months after a previous legal shift allowed victims or their families to question the defendant in court.”I supported the system at first,” said Setsuo Miyazawa, a law professor at Aoyama Gakuin University. “I thought lay people would uncover the many cases of bad police investigation, especially the way they question people,” he added.But Miyazawa says he now fears victims’ families may hold too much emotional sway over lay judges.Japan’s police are often accused of using violence and intimidation to obtain the confessions that form the basis of most convictions.
