  • 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.

  • The Old Farm Onverwacht – the Bush – Die Bos

    The Old Farm Onverwacht – the Bush – Die Bos

    The Old Farm Onverwacht – The Bush – Die Bos As a child it was a Sunday ritual to visit my grandmother and uncle John (who as the elder son was the owner) and tant Nettie (Antoinette née Malan) on the old family farm. After greeting the adults we were free to roam and play on the farm – it was interesting and different to ours. There were oak trees so old that the centres were hollowed out and one could hide inside them. Pine trees were huge with thick soft bark from which one could pry off pieces to carve small model boats to float in the irrigation furrows. We could collect pine nuts and break them open on stones to get at the edible pits. There was a large grove of tall bamboos in which to play. We could pick guavas and loquats and a strange eastern fragrant fruit called jamboes (3). A flock of geese wandered around the farmyard and chased us aggressively when we came close. There was a tomb with a half opened steel door. Sunday afternoons were open house where family members and friends would drop in for tea and cake. Even after my grandmother died in 1942, my parents regularly visited and we would meet various uncles, aunts and cousins. They included some of the rugby Morkels such as Gerhard and Albert and Harry. My mother continued visiting occasionally long after my father had passed away, and I enjoyed visiting oom John who by that time was very old. We also felt comfortable to drop by unannounced to visit cousin Hanna and his wife Susra who then occupied the main old house while oom John and his second wife, tant Maud lived in the second house.

  • Transactions Part 3

    Transactions Part 3

    Transactions of the Lyceum Lodge of Research Volume 3 Transcriptions of papers presented during 1982 Published 1983 Johannesburg, South Africa i | Page W.Bro. George Kendall Master of Lyceum Lodge of Research 1983 ii | Page Foreword With the advent of micro-computers and the growing use of word-processors this issue may well be one of the last in its present form. It is quite obvious that these Transactions of Lyceum Lodge published in 1983 do not have left and right justification of its pages. It contains many spelling errors because the lectures are, for the most part, those actually used by the speaker when delivering the papers within the Lodge. In most cases they have typed the script themselves or had it typed by their secretary who may know nothing whatsoever about Freemasonry or the subject of the lecture. They are printed “warts and all” with only the more obvious mistakes sometimes altered and therefore come across with probably more of the lecturer’s true style than they would if edited. As such, they may prove in future years to become collectors’ items. Maybe there will be photocopy special editions printed for the edification of our successors long after we have departed to the Grand Lodge Above. For the record, only fifty copies of Volume I were printed and 100 of Volume 2. The first printing of this Volume 3 is again 100 but future editions will have to be increased especially in view of our rapidly increasing Correspondence Circle. So far, all copies have been made on members’ office copying machines - hence the rather varying quality.

Survey map 3318DA Philadelphia), Bottom: c1880/90 (CA M3/1823 & M4/1376). 2 KALBASKRAAL, MALMESBURY André van Graan Kalbaskraal farm lies on a ridge of high ground to the south of Malmesbury and was originally accessed off the old road running from Durbanville northwards to Malmesbury; the access road winding its way between the farms of the Grootedrooge Valley, past Welgegund opstal and moving on past Kalbaskraal to the old outspan of Kalabas Kraal (Fig. 1). Today, all that marks the site of the opstal of Kalbaskraal are a couple of large blue-gum trees and some old sheds, the original werf being largely destroyed. The homestead of the farm consisted of a T-shaped building with a wing added on the tail to the one side and a series of outbuildings linking the house to the barn on the west. Further outbuildings formed a large rectangular werf in front and to the west of the house, but are no longer discernable. The Swartland The area has been used since the eighteenth century for the growing of corn. Many farmers were wealthy as a result of the high price obtained for their crop on the Cape Town market.
