Research paper thumbnail of More than ‘just a bump in the road?’: a source analysis of the effects of the Muldergate scandal on South Africa’s international image in the 1970s and 1980s

In his book Selling Apartheid, Ron Nixon claimed that the Muldergate scandal had a negligible effect, stating that it was "just a bump in the road." Nixon then concluded his chapter on Muldergate without further explanation or justification. I have investigated how the Muldergate Scandal was portrayed by foreign media, and sought to gauge the foreign public res ponse to it. I did this by examining articles from three London newspapers between the 1960s and 1980s. I will show that the events of the Muldergate Scandal were made public through these newspapers, and despite the copious information available, the scandal did not have a significant impact on the Apartheid Government. This confirms Nixon's "bump in the road" claim.

We derive a multidimensional nonuniform oversampling formula for bandlimited functions with a fairly general frequency domain. The stability of said formula under various perturbations in the sampled data is investigated, and a computationally managable simplification of the main oversampling theorem is given. Also, a generalization of Kadec's 1/4 Theorem to higher dimensions is considered. Finally, the developed techniques are used to approximate biorthogonal functions of particular exponential Riesz bases for L2[−π, π], and a well known theorem of Levinson is recovered as a corollary.
