For centuries he was forced to live with nature and within the deli­ cate balance created for all things. Gradually he developed from the hunter to a member of an agrarian society knowing full well his complete dependence upon the bounty of nature. With the advent of the Twe.ntieth Century, Man gave more and more of his attention to in­ dustrialisation and mechanisation finally reaching out to tou~h the stars, and in doing so forgot the world within which he must live and his attendant responsi­ bility to_ it and to g·enerations yet unborn". Ephraim Tomi inson I I. CHAPTER INTRODUCTORY 1.0 Preface It has been aptly said that one thing in the world is invin­ cible .... an idea whose time has come. Such an idea in our days, I believe, is the care of man's ancestral home .... the natural environment; However, our country is sti 11 in a pioneering stage in so 1 far as it, up ti 11 now, accepts t~e rugged pr inc i'pl e that man has the freedom to do with his land just about whatever 11 11 he wants to do. Under a proud banner of the above right , man is unscrupulously exploiting his natural resources and ruthlessly despoiling his landscape. This really boils down to uncontrolled speculation and limitless profit to the few in the name of progress and, if this is how the development of the environment is understood by man, then the perfect formula has already been found. That is to say, that no planning is needed .... planning is then obviously only an obs tac l,e in the free- for-a 11 , laissez-faire comp e­ tit i ve market. To argue this point .... is it really necessary to look any ,;, 2. further than merely to mention a few local 11 symptoms 11 of the above 11 disease11 i.e.

  • A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K

    A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K

    European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt.

    What Lies Beneath Table Mountain Or All Models Are Wrong, but Some Are Useful

    WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Prof Alexander Kisters August 2016 WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Inaugural lecture delivered on 2 August 2016 Prof Alexander Kisters Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Science Stellenbosch University Editor: SU Language Centre Printing: SUN MeDIA ISBN: 978-0-7972-1614-3 Copyright © 2016 Alexander Kisters BIOGRAPHY rofessor Alexander (Alex) Kisters completed his Pgeology undergraduate studies and MSc at the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH) in Germany and obtained a PhD in geology from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Subsequently, he had worked in the mineral exploration industry in South Africa and had held various postdoctoral and lecturer positions at the universities of Aachen, Cologne and the Witwatersrand before joining Stellenbosch University in 1999. Currently, he is appointed at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Stellenbosch, as a professor in structural geology and tectonics where he teaches under- and postgraduate courses. He has supervised and cosupervised over 50 honours students, 15 MSc studies and 7 PhD studies. Alex has held a National Research Foundation rating for the past 15 years and a B-rating for the last five years. His research focuses on a range of topics related to crustal deformation aimed at integrating field data with regional tectonic models and more generic processes of melt transport and hydrothermal fluid flow in the Earth’s crust. 1 ABSTRACT he geological evolution of the Western Cape remains elusive after over 100 years of research. Based on regional Tfieldwork and correlations, this contribution aims to develop a tectonic model for the deposition and deformation of rocks of the Malmesbury Group, the rocks that underlie much of the Western Cape.
