FROM ROWLEY’S KEYBOARD: You will remember that a little while ago, there was an appeal for funds for a motorised wheelchair. It has just come to my notice that the appeal was picked up by at least one of our readers who made a donation. Thanks to the reader and well done, Nine Foxtrot. As you might have picked up, over the past year, I have been banging my head against bumbling and inefficiency on the part of the Standard Bank Account: Nine Foxtrot News or NINE FOXTROT NEWS 2 FEBUARY 6th 2011 NUMBER 02 / 01 WO’S NEWSLETTER. Last month, I was under the impression that we had reached a workable solution to the problem but this week, I picked up that they were charging me an amount each month that, (to my mind were irrelevant to the account.) An appeal is thus made to the chaps who are contributing as well as possible future contributors, to use my ABSA account. This will eventually lead to the closing of my Standard Bank account. I realise that this has implications to those making electronic transfers or who have stop orders going to Standard Bank, But please, I cannot afford to pay ±R50:00 each month, (for nothing.) My ABSA Bank Details are as follow: NAME: ROWLEY MEDLIN BANK: ABSA BRANCH: Wierda Park ACCOUNT NUMBER: 916 872 99 65 I thank you and apologise for the inconvenience I know I have asked before but please, pretty please, look through your photo albums for photos I can use in our “Photo Oukie” slot. Rowley 9F MAIL FROM ROWLEY’S INBOX: FROM MANUEL FERREIRA: The military is remaining mum on the deployment of the Valour-class frigate SAS Mendi to Durban for operational training in reported anticipation of an anti- pirate patrol in the Mozambique channel. The Afrikaans daily Beeld this week reported the deployment was being held up by the absence of a signed Memorandum of Understaning setting out rules of engagement. Minister of Defence and Military Veterans last year July told a small group of journalists, including defenceWeb, that her deputy, Thabang Makwetla, had that month attended a Southern African Development Community (SADC) conference in the Seychelles. There “we did commit ourselves to protecting the waters around SADC from piracy.” She added: “We are ready to deploy in SADC waters because it is part of our responsibility.” Military mum on Mendi Written by Leon EngelbrechtFriday, 04 February 2011 13:39 Business Day also reported this week the SADC meeting was followed by a ministerial antipiracy conference in Mauritius in October last year. South Africa’s delegation was led by the ambassador to Mauritius, Madumane Matabane. The Pretoria News, meanwhile, quoted defence analyst Helmoed-Römer Heitman as saying that the deployments should have happened years ago. “We should have done this years ago when we first received requests for help from the European Union, who warned us of the threat not only to shipping off the East coast of Africa, but also to shipping travelling through our waters,” he said. Heitman said the threats were real and serious. “Not only are they threatening the country’s economy, but they could also lead to an ecological disaster should the pirates successfully attack and possibly sink an oil tanker.” “Pirates see areas such as the Mozambican Channel as untapped gold mines. With the knowledge that there are very few African countries who can respond to attacks, the pirates know that they can operate without fear.” The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) in its annual report last month said pirates murdered eight seafarers and seized a record 1181 hostages as well 53 ships last year, a new lowpoint. According to the IMB, the number of pirate attacks on ships around the world has risen every year for the past four years, with 445 incidents in 2010, which is an increase of 10% over 2009. 1050 crewmembers were taken hostage in 2009 compared with just 188 crew in 2006. 293 incidents were reported in 2008 compared to 263 in 2007. The 2010 attacks included two NINE FOXTROT NEWS 3 FEBUARY 6th 2011 NUMBER 02 / 01 confirmed cases of piracy in the Mozambique Channel between Africa and Madagascar near the Comoros in late December and two failed attempts some 200 kilometres east of Quelimane, capital of the central Mozambican province of Zambezia. The city is about halfway up the Mozambican coast and some 300km north of Beira. Heitman added the attacks could be dealt with, although “it would be difficult given the Navy’s limited logistical capabilities.” Institute of Security Studies military analyst Henri Boshoff told the Pretoria News the response was not only South African but also “part of a larger SADC military response” to piracy. “The government is keeping a tight lid on how it is going to respond to these latest attacks.” Boshoff said while South Africa’s navy had conducted operations in the Mozambican Channel area and off the country’s East Coast, the latest attacks had triggered a strong response from South Africa. Attempts to get comment from government were unsuccessful. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation referred queries to the Department of Defence, where a spokesman said the matter was “sensitive”. The IMB last month also warned that some pirate groups were now using large hijacked vessels as “motherships” to extend their reach. “At least five large hijacked cargo ships and three fishing vessels have acted as mother ships in the last couple of months, posing a new and significant threat to the safety of shipping. The five cargo vessels range in size from 5000 to 72 000 metric tons in deadweight - or cargo carrying capacity - and include four tankers and a general cargo vessel,” the IMB said in a statement. “More than 100 crew members from these hijacked cargo vessels, are being forced to facilitate the attacks and in effect provide a human shield to any potential naval intervention.” Hijacked vessels have previously been used by the pirates, enabling a greater range and capability- meaning they can operate further into the Indian Ocean and with no interference by naval forces. IMB Director Pottengal Mukundan commented: “Whilst the use of hijacked vessels as mother ships is not a new phenomenon, the abduction of crew members could signal a significant new development.” AGAIN FROM MANUEL: Stress at SA security firm in Somalia Funding help from Blackwater in anti-pirate war - but company led by ex-CCB man denies mercenaries involved Feb 5, 2011 11:43 PM | By ROWAN PHILP A South African security company is training an army to fight pirates in Somalia - in defiance of an order by the East African country's government to halt the project, because "mercenaries" are allegedly involved. Led by former apartheid-era security officers and staffed "mostly" by South Africans, Saracen International has been secretly training a "coastguard" of over 1000 members in the breakaway northern Somali province of Puntland for the past four months. A second contract for Saracen to train the presidential guard and renovate a hospital in the federal capital, Mogadishu, has also been cancelled. Somalia's Transitional Federal Government ended the contracts after it emerged that a notorious US mercenary had helped arrange funding for the multimillion-dollar projects. Now, authorities in Puntland are defying the fragile central government's order to end their anti-pirate operation with Saracen. This week, pirates told Reuters news agency that they had been forced to flee one of their main bases in Puntland for fear of arrest or assault by the Saracen-trained troops. The Somali government has confirmed that "other Muslim countries" funded the projects, reportedly providing money for 120 bakkies, six small aircraft and four armoured vehicles for the Saracen recruits to use on patrol.

  • The Battle of Congella
    REMEMBERING DURBAN’S HISTORICAL TAPESTRY – THE BATTLE OF CONGELLA Researched and written by Udo Richard AVERWEG Tuesday 23rd May 2017 marks an important date in Durban’s historical tapestry – it is the dodransbicentennial (175th) anniversary of the commencement of the Battle of Congella in the greater city of Durban. From a military historical perspective, the Congella battle site was actually named after former Zulu barracks (known as an ikhanda), called kwaKhangela. This was established by King Shaka kaSenzangakhona (ca. 1787 – 1828) to keep a watchful eye on the nearby British traders at Port Natal - the full name of the place was kwaKhangela amaNkengane (‘place of watching over vagabonds’). Shortly after the Battle of Blood River (isiZulu: iMpi yaseNcome) on 16th December 1838, Natalia Republiek was established by the migrant Voortrekkers (Afrikaner Boers, mainly of Dutch descent). It stretched from the Tugela River to the north to present day Port St Johns at the UMzimvubu River to the south. The Natalia Republiek was seeking an independent port of entry, free from British control by conquering the Port Natal trading settlement, which had been settled by mostly British traders on the modern-day site of Durban. However, the governor of the Cape Province, Maj Gen Sir George Thomas Napier KCB (1784 - 1855), stated that his intention was to take military possession of Port Natal and prevent the Afrikaner Boers establishing an independent republic upon the coast with a harbour through which access to the interior could be gained. The Battle of Congella began on 23rd May 1842 between British troops from the Cape Colony and the Afrikaner Boer forces of the Natalia Republiek.

Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.
