  • SACS High School Prospectus
    SACS High School Prospectus SACS High School Prospectus Physical Address: Newlands Avenue Newlands Postal Address: Private Bag, Newlands, Cape Town, 7725 Ph: 021-6894164 Fax: 021-6852669 Admissions Secretary: Mrs Irene Innes – [email protected] Brief History SACS is the oldest high school in South Africa, founded in September 1829. It is arguably the most magnificent setting at the foot of Table Mountain and Devils peak. The concept of the South African College was first formed in 1791 when the Dutch Commissioner-General, Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist, asked for funding to be set aside to improve schooling in the Cape. After the British took over control of the Cape Colony its first governor, Lord Charles Henry Somerset PC, gave permission for the funds reserved by de Mist to be used to establish the South African College in 1814. It was decided in 1874 that the younger students should be separated from their older counterparts. The South African College was separated into the College which became the University of Cape Town and the College School. The College School moved to its own building on Orange Street, separate from the College, in 1896. For the next few decades, the school grew and the building became too small for the number of students attending. In 1959 the school moved to its current home in the Montebello Estate in Newlands,] former home of the mining magnate Sir Max Michaelis, after a decade-long negotiation with the Cape Administration. SACS High School Mission Statement “The South African College High School seeks to promote excellence within an all-round education, to prepare boys to play a constructive role as compassionate, thinking individuals in society”.

  • 1 on 26 March 2020 South Africa Went Into Lockdown
    SEPTEMBER 2020 WHENEVER CRISES VISIT A GIVEN COMMUNITY, THE FUNDAMENTAL REALITY OF THAT COMMUNITY IS LAID BARE. WHO HAS MORE AND WHO HAS LESS. WHERE THE POWER LIES. WHAT PEOPLE TREASURE & WHAT THEY FEAR. - ARUNDHATI ROY ON 26 MARCH 2020 SOUTH AFRICA WENT INTO LOCKDOWN, JOINING MANY OTHER COUNTRIES IN A GLOBAL LIMITATION RESPONSE TO THE RAPID SPREAD OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. As with other pandemics, the South African response highlighted the political, social and economic faults in our country - particularly the race, class and gender inequalities that persist. As Arundhati Roy stated, “whenever crises visit a given community, the fundamental reality of that community is laid bare. Who has more and who has less. Where the power lies. What people treasure and what they fear.” But it is also crises that show us the resilience of everyday people, and there are many. During this time, Tekano sought out opportunities to support the efforts of resilience through our Fellows who work with disadvantaged and marginalised communities. We did this to strengthen our role which is to provide support that develops leadership for health equity. We wanted to provide support in the face of this pandemic, strengthening the work and amplifying the voices of Fellows and the communities they were supporting. On 15 April 2020 Tekano published a call for Fellows to submit proposals for collaborative social change initiatives. Our criteria for determining support for these COVID-19 initiatives included: • They must advance social change within the broad agenda for health equity. • They must highlight and support the plight of vulnerable and marginalised communities.

    SHAME AND RESPECTABILITY: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO CAPE TOWN’S ‘COLOURED’ FAMILIES THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS, CULTURAL PRACTICES AND ORAL HISTORIES (C. 1950 TO 2016) By Nadia Kamies (17405361) Submitted to the University of Pretoria in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Department of Historical and Heritage Studies Date of submission: 31 August 2018 Supervisor: Dr Siona O’Connell, University of Pretoria DECLARATION I, Nadia Kamies, hereby declare that the work on which this thesis is based is my original work (except where acknowledgements indicate otherwise) and that neither the whole work nor any part of it has been, is being, or is to be submitted for another degree in this or any other university. I authorise the University of Pretoria to reproduce, for the purpose of research, either the whole or any portion of the contents in any manner whatsoever. Signature: Date: MY GRANDMOTHER’S DREAM CATCHERS Mama made these doilies for me, my mother says, as green and blue tightly crocheted works of art fall softly out of the plastic packet she’s kept them in. I see my grandmother sitting in her chair, grey hair escaping from under a white cotton scarf wrapped around her head; her fingers hold the thin steel hook wrapping cotton thread in elaborate patterns, making poor man’s lace, creating circles in the air to catch bad dreams. Her hands are never idle, weaving and spinning a livelihood to keep her family together, her work good enough for even white people, my father says, the patterns out of a secret book in her head dipped in starch and ironed to attention.

Cape Published by the University ofof Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN “Growing together”: exploring the politics of knowing and conserving (bio) diversity in a small conservancy in Cape Town Town Elsemi Olwage OLWELS001Cape of Department of Social Anthropology Minor Dissertation Supervisor:University Prof. Andrew Spiegel 11 February 2013 Abstract This dissertation is based on research conducted at a small state-managed conservancy called the Edith Stephens Nature Reserve (ESNR) situated in the low-lying flatlands of the Cape Town metropolis. By tracing some of the complex and varied ways in which different ways of knowing and valuing urban “natures” and practices of conservation co-constitute each other, this dissertation critically engages with the social power relations at work in the continual making and unmaking of Cape Town’s “natural” heritages. In doing so, I argue for recognizing the ways in which Cape Town’s urban “natures” remain entangled with the epistemological, ecological and spatial legacies of colonialism and apartheid. Moreover, by focusing on the ESNR, I explore the current material and discursive practices by the state in relation to urban “nature” conservation. In recent years, the discursive framework of biodiversity conservation was mapped onto ESNR through the Townstate apparatus. At the same time, ESNR was identified as pilot site for an experimental partnership project that was called Cape Flats Nature (CFN), a project that ran from 2002 till 2010 which explored what biodiversity conservation would mean within marginalized,Cape poverty-stricken and highly unequal urban landscapes.
