Meesal vir betalings aan familie of skuldeisers van die Kaapse setlaars . Uit Wikipedia: In 19th century British usage, a remittance man is an emigrant, often to a British colony, supported or assisted by payment of money from his paternal home. As a general term remittance man or remittance woman could mean anyone living away from home supported mainly by their family in a different house, neighborhood, city, or country regardless of their reason for being there. Such a person may be seeking business fortune, education, extended vacation, a new place for the family to move, employment, or safety from personal, family, or legal troubles. Note that in this context, money is being sent in the opposite direction to today's usual usage of the term <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remittance> remittance, which means money that migrants send back into their home countries.

Posted by: "Colin Möhr" mohr.colin Beste lys, Jammer vir die Brits taal maar ek haal aan "Within Victorian British culture, this often meant the black sheep of an upper or middle-class family who was sent away (from the United Kingdom to the Empire), and paid to stay away. These men were generally of dissolute or drunken character, and may have been sent overseas after one or more disgraces at home. "Remittance men" also lived in several towns in the American [2] and Canadian West [3][4] There were also 'remittance women' but they are rarely discussed in scholarly works. Many remittance men were sent to the Australian Colonies.A remittance man could be a younger son trying to escape the shadow of elder dominating sons to seek his own fortune and proof of worth. In 19th century British usage, a remittance man is an emigrant, often to a British colony, supported or assisted by payment of money from his paternal home. As a general term remittance man or remittance woman could mean anyone living away from home supported mainly by their family in a different house, neighborhood, city, or country regardless of their reason for being there.

    JOERNAAUJOURNAL WESSELS ONWAARSKYNLIKE AMBASSADEURS: VLAGVERTOONVAARTEDEURSUID­ AFRIKAANSE OORLOGSKEPE, 1922-2002 Andre Wessels1 Summary Although the primary role of the South African Navy will always be to defend the Republic of South Africa. its citizens, and its interests, the Navy has an equally important role to play in times ofpeace, for example to conduct a variety ofassistance operations. including diplomatic support in the form ofJlag­ showing cruises. During the first 80 years of the history of the South African Navy, i.e. from 1922 to 2002, its warships and submarines took part in 86 such peace-lime flag-showing cruises to foreign countries, visiting about 100 ports in nearly 50 countries on all six continents. Jn this article a review is given ofthe flag-showing cruises by South Africa's naval vessels (grey diplomats) from J April 1922 to I April 2002, and nine phases have been identified. The overall aim is lo determine the nature, extent and value of the South African Navy's di'plomatic role. INLEIDING Op I April 2002 was die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot (SAV) 80 jaar oud,. maar die geleentheid het feitlik ongesiens verhygegaan - anders as die 7 Sste herdenking van die ontstaan van die Vloot wat in I 997 op luisterryke wyse gevier is. Weliswaar was daar van 22-24 Maart 2002 'n Vlootfees in Simonstad, maar geen verrigtinge elders nie. Aan die begin van 2002 was die Vloot uiteraard we! reeds besig om geleidelik voor te berei vir die aankoms van vier nuwe fregatte2 en drie nuwe duikbote. By die herdenking van die SA V se tagtigste bestaansjaar behoort daar wel besin te word oor die geskiedenis van die Vloot.

For some their reintroduction to civilian life was straightforward and uneventful. Many simply returned to the jobs they had previously occupied before the war. For others their readjustment to civilian life was difficult, full of despair and bitter disappointment. Similarly, the repatriation, resettlement and rehabilitation of the empire's soldiers and sailors presented post-war administrations with a host of social, political and economic problems. So far as they were concerned reconstruction was a daunting challenge which had to be met with the greatest possible energy, efficiency and decisiveness.

  • South Africa's Grey Diplomats; Visits by South African Warships to Foreign Countries 1946 - 1996
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 27, 1997. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za South Africa's Grey Diplomats; Visits by South African Warships to Foreign Countries 1946 - 1996 PROF ANDRE WESSELS Department of History, University of the Orange Free State, Bloemfonteinl ABSTRACT The primary role of the South African Navy is to defend the Republic of South Africa, its citizens and interests. In times of peace the Navy has an equally impor- tant role to play, for example to conduct assistance operations, including diplo- matic support. During the first 75 years of the history of the South African Navy (1922-1997), its warships took part in about 70flag-showing cruises. In this arti- cle a review is given of the 68 flag-s howing cruises by South Africa's grey diplo- mats in the years from 1946 (when the South African Naval Forces were reconsti- tuted) to 1996 (i.e. on the eve of the Navy's 75th anniversary). The aim is to ascer- tain the nature, extent and value of the South African Navy's diplomatic role. OPSOMMING Die primere taak van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot is om die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, die land se inwoners en belange, te beskerm teen enige vorm van buitelandse bedreiging. In vredestyd het die Vloot egter 'n ewe belangrike rol te speel, byvoorbeeld om hulpver- leningsoperasies te ondemeem, insluitende diplomatieke steun. Oorlogskepe van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloothet gedurende die Vloot se eerste 75 jaar (1922-1997) ongeveer 70 vlagvertoonvaarte ondemeem. In hierdie artikel word 'n oorsig gegee van die 68 vlagvertoon- vaarte wat in die jare vanaf 1946 (toe die Suid-Afrikaanse Seemagte geherkonstitueer is) The author would like to thank all who assisted him in completing the manuscript, in particular Rear-Adm (rtd) P.A.

  • Recording the Great War: Military Archives and the South African Official History Programme, 1914-1939 Ian Van Der Waag 
    81 Scientia Militaria vol 44, no 1, 2016, pp 81-110. doi:10.5787/44-1-1163 Recording the Great War: military archives and the South African official history programme, 1914-1939 Ian van der Waag The First World War marked a revolt against the traditional mode of official history as conceived and written by the General Staffs and taught at the Staff Colleges. After 1918, the publics in various countries, having experienced massed mobilisation and the impact of total warfare, demanded an explanation for the sacrifices so many had been called on to make. This more inclusive approach rejected the nineteenth-century, Staff College predilection for campaign narratives focussing narrowly on “lessons learned”. The South African tradition of official history dates from this period. This article outlines the creation of the first military archival organisation in Pretoria and analyses the South African First World War official history programme. It explores the apparent motives behind the programme and reveals the often-difficult relationships between the historians and their principals at Defence Headquarters and the tensions between the two modes of official history. Keywords: First World War, historiography, war memory, military archives, official historians, Leo Fouché, Hugh Wyndham, Johann Leipoldt, John Buchan, John Collyer 1. Opening the writing cabinet To think that 100 years hence people will still be scribbling hard and arguing over the war – I’d like to know what they’ll say about us – “In 1914 the feeling of the British public was” etcetera - and they’ll lay down the law about what we should have felt and how different they in 2014 would have acted – I wonder what it will be like then.1 Maud Wyndham penned these lines in May 1920.

Pandemics are not new to humanity as it can be traced back to the Old Testament of the Bible, it remains however devastating. COVID-19 is no exception and we start 2021 all aware that the country is in a second wave. We had to adapt to a new “normal” with the wearing of a mask whenever we ventured into the public domain. At every shop, they took your temperature and sanitised your hands while at some you had to record your contact details. Some suddenly had to do with less than what we had previously. Suddenly electronic media became much more important than before. During the strict lockdown, most relied on the electronic media, cellular phone, to stay in touch with family and friends, in most instances using “WattsApp” and the video facility.

  • The Joint Operations Division: Mandate, Activities and Key Personalities
    Chapter 7 The Joint Operations Division: mandate, activities and key personalities Joint operations are, surprisingly, a relatively new development in military affairs. Throughout most of history “joint” or “combined” operations implied army-navy cooperation – and most examples of this were unfortunate for at least one of the services involved. For this reason, as much as any other, many navies established their own landing forces, or marines. Modern joint operations date to World War Two, when Britain established Combined Operations as a joint navy, army and air force headquarters to coordinate commando raids on targets in Nazi-occupied Europe. A similar, but Anglo American, establishment was formed to plan and then conduct Operation Overlord, the invasion of northern France in June 1944. Today, joint operations mean those conducted by more than one service and combined operations imply those conducted along with allies. When and why was the SANDF’s Joint Operations Division (J Ops) established? J Ops was established on 1 August 1997 during a major reorganisation of the armed forces. Prior to its establishment, each Service had an operations staff responsible for deploying the units of that service as directed by the Service chief and the CSANDF. The latter had his own operations staff, but this acted more as a coordinating body. Where forces from more than one Service operated together for either extended periods or came together for a vital operation, a joint force commander would be appointed, usually the officer in charge of the larger continent. The Air Force and Navy had a permanent joint headquarters (HQ) in the shape of the Maritime HQ at Silvermine, in the mountains just above Cape Town’s Tokai suburb.

In South Africa, the political transition since 1994 originated the evolution of the country’s foreign policy. Accordingly, foreign policy has implications for the South African Navy (SAN). Traditionally, navies have three main roles, namely: military, policing and diplomatic, roles. This study only focuses on the diplomatic role of the navy, termed naval diplomacy. In this regard, the SAN is the custodian of South African naval diplomacy. The purpose of this study is to investigate and theoretically appraise the nature and scope of South African naval diplomacy since 1994. The study has two objectives: firstly, it seeks to outline the most salient features of South Africa’s foreign policy, post-1994, as the framework for naval diplomacy; and secondly, it seeks to analyse and describe how the SAN has utilised naval diplomacy, namely: maritime coercion, naval cooperation, international maritime assistance, and international conflict resolution and management, in pursuit of South Africa’s foreign policy objectives.
