  • Stories of the South Peninsula
    Stories of the South Peninsula Historical research, stories and heritage tourism opportunities in the South Peninsula AFRICANSOUTH TOURISM The peninsula from Cape Point Nature Reserve Prepared for the City of Cape Town by C. Postlethwayt, M. Attwell & K. Dugmore Ström June 2014 Making progress possible. Together. Background The primary objective of this project was to prepare a series of ‘story packages’ providing the content for historical interpretive stories of the ‘far’ South Peninsula. Stories cover the geographical area of Chapman’s Peak southwards to include Imhoff, Ocean View, Masiphumelele, Kommetjie, Witsand, Misty Cliffs and Scarborough, Plateau Road, Cape Point, Smitswinkel Bay to Miller’s Point, Boulders, Simon’s Town, Red Hill, Glencairn and Fish Hoek to Muizenberg. The purposes for which these stories are to be told are threefold, namely to support tourism development; to stimulate local interest; and to promote appropriate and sustainable protection of heritage resources through education, stimulation of interest and appropriate knowledge. To this end, the linking of historical stories and tourism development requires an approach to story-telling that goes beyond the mere recording of historic events. The use of accessible language has been a focus. Moreover, it requires an approach that both recognises the iconic, picture-postcard image of parts of Cape Town (to which tourists are drawn initially), but extends it further to address the particular genius loci that is Cape Town’s ‘Deep South’, in all its complexity and coloured by memory, ambivalences and contradictory experiences. We believe there is a need to balance the more conventional approach, which selects people or events deemed worthy of commemoration (for example, the Battle of Muizenberg) to tell the story of places, by interweaving popular memory and culture into these recordings (for example, the rich Muslim culture that existed in Simon’s Town before the removal under the Group Areas Act).

The mussels were sampled during the routine ‘‘Mussel Watch Programme’’ (MWP) between 1985 and 2008. Levels of Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, Fe and Mn at Keywords: Cape Point, Hout Bay, Sea Point, Milnerton and Bloubergstrand were analysed for autumn and spring and Metals showed consistent similar mean values for the five sites. There was a highly significant temporal (annual Mussels and seasonal) difference between all metals as well as a significant difference in metal concentrations Mytilus galloprovincialis between the five sites. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, Cd and Pb were higher than previous investigations Long term monitoring and possibly indicative of anthropogenic sources of metals. The results provide a strong motivation to Cape Town South Africa increase efforts in marine pollution research in the area. Ó 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • The Sanders Story a Family Saga
    1 The Sanders Story A Family Saga Researched, compiled and transcribed by Derrick Lewis 2 “The path to strength and prosperity, to success in the future, lies in understanding the past. Know your origins, study the achievements of the generations before you and you will benefit from the wisdom of your ancestors” - The Old Testament 3 Preface I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1943, one hundred and one years after the birth of my maternal Great Grandfather, Wulf Sanders. My father, Isidore Lewis was fatally struck down by a massive coronary three years after my birth. Due to difficult financial circumstances at the time, my Mother decided to move in with her parents, Isidore and Bella Israelsohn who lived in the Southern Cape town of George. This is where I grew up, in my Grandparents home, at 72 York Street, George. The story that have compiled is a direct result of the many conversations I had with my Grandmother and listening to her many stories and anecdotes. I felt that as our family story was fascinating, the family having lived on three continents before arriving here in South Africa, I would write down and attempt to record all this fascinating oral history. Later in my adult years I researched these anecdotal facts and discovered most of them to be true! What I have finally written is a record of the life and times of the Sanders family with the assistance and input of the many members of our extended family. Chapter One We were Courlanders! Our story begins in Courland, now known as the provinces of Kurzeme and Zemgale, of modern day Latvia.

  • An Initial Archaeological Assessment of Bloubergstrand
    AN INITIAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF BLOUBERGSTRAND (FOR STRUCTURE PLAN PURPOSES ONLY) Prepared for Steyn Larsen and Partners December 1992 Prepared by Archaeology Contracts Office Department of Archaeology University of Cape Town Rondebosch 7700 Phone (021) 650 2357 Fax (021) 650 2352 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report has been to identify areas of archaeological sensitivity in an area of Bloubergstrand as part of a local structure plan being compiled by Steyn, Larsen and Partners, Town and Regional Planners on behalf of the Western Cape Regional Services Council. The area of land which is examined is presented in Figure 1. Our brief specifically requested that we not undertake any detailed site identification. The conclusions reached are the result of an in loco inspection of the area and reference to observations compiled by members of the Archaeological Field Club1 during a visit to the area in 1978. While these records are useful they are not comprehensive and inaccuracies may be present. 2. BACKGROUND Human occupation of the coast and exploitation of marine resources was practised for many thousands of years before the colonisation of southern Africa by Europeans. This practise continued for some time after colonisation as well. Archaeological sites along the coast are often identified by the scatters of marine shells (middens) which accumulated at various places, sometimes in caves and rockshelters, but very often out in the open. Other food remains such as bones from a variety of faunas will often accompany the shells showing that the early inhabitants utilised the full range of resources of the coastal zone.
