Hahn Papers Introduction Carl Hugo Linsingen Hahn, also widely known under his nickname Cocky, and his Ovambo nickname Shongola ("The Whip"), was the son of the Rev. Carl Hugo Hahn (1846-1933) and his wife Anna Judith Julie Auguste Hahn (née von Linsingen, 1861-1938), and grandson of the Hereroland missionary Carl Hugo Hahn (1818-1895). He was born at Paarl on 4 January 1886. He attended school until Standard Six in Paarl whereafter he worked for seven and a half years in banking and two and half years in the mining industry.1) He joined the Imperial Light Horse in 1914, served with this regiment through the 1914 rebellion, proceeded with the Corps to the then German South West Africa and served in the field until after the occupation of Windhoek, when according to instructions he was transferred for duty with the Native Administrative Branch and special military work as required by the Military Governor. These duties were generally under the supervision of Lieut. Col. Pritchard or Major C.N. Manning.2) Hahn accompanied Col. Pritchard on the first expedition to Ovamboland in 1915. When Pritchard returned, Hahn remained in Ovamboland attached to the staff of the first Resident Commissioner, Major Lielefeldt. The latter was succeeded by Major Manning, whom Hahn also joined.3) Hahn then joined the Ovamboland Expedition against King Mandume, where he was on Manning's staff as well as performing special duties as e.g. O.C. Scouts and Intelligence of the Expeditionary Force, O.C. patrol to Okavango River area and acting British Representative in Namakunde.4) When Major Manning retired from Ovamboland, Hahn succeeded him in 1917 and remained in Ovamboland as Native Commissioner until 1947.5) Hahn was an outstanding administrator and a leading proponent of the policies of "indirect rule" over colonial peoples. His knowledge of the Ovambo people and their country was highly regarded by the South African Government. In 1937 he was sent to Geneva to attend the League of Nations' session and represented South Africa at a meeting of the Mandates Commission. In 1946 he accompanied General Smuts to the United Nations Conference as adviser on the treatment of “Natives” in South West Africa, and again in 1947, in the same capacity, he accompanied the then Minister of Justice.6) At the beginning of January 1947 Hahn retired from the civil service in Ovamboland and was appointed a member of the Native Labour Commission. In March 1947 when his health was beginning to fail he retired to his farm Ackerbou in the Grootfontein district, but was retained by the Administration as a consultant on “Native Affairs”.7) Hahn died in the Grootfontein Hospital on 27 September 19488) and was buried at Grootfontein cemetery.9) 1) See vol.1, Personal documents, Testimonial by Manning 2) Ibid. 3) See vol.5, Request for articles, Obituary 4) Ibid. 5) Ibid. 6) Ibid. 7) Ibid. 8) See vol.1, Estates, Death certificate 9) Ibid. 4 Findaid 2/31 C.H.L. Hahn Papers A.0450 In 1927 Hahn was asked to contribute a chapter on the Owambo for the book: The Native Tribes of South West Africa.10) For this he undertook extensive research.11) Hahn was a keen photographer and his hundreds of photographs of northern Namibia bear testimony of this.12) For his distinguished services in the G.S.W.A. campaign Hahn was awarded the 1914/15 Star13) and the M.B.E.14) as well as the King's Silver Jubilee Medal in 1935.15) Carl Hugo Linsingen Hahn, was married to Alice Fogarty, second daughter of the Bishop of Damaraland and they had one son, Rodney.16) The documents and their arrangement The documents were obtained from Hahn's son, Rodney, during July 1985 and transported from Sedgefield to the Windhoek Archives. According to the agreement reached, the documents will stay the property of Mr. R. Hahn. All items, except diaries, note books, maps and photo graphs have been arranged according to their contents and documents of related subjects have been grouped together, e.g. all documents concerning Ovamboland were brought together and then again subdivided into smaller subjects, which have been arranged chronologically. Diaries and note books have been arranged chronologically, since more than one subject appears in them. Maps, photographs and negatives have also been arranged separately. The documents are to some extent in a damaged state, especially the photographs. The negatives are so badly damaged that they can no longer be reproduced. The collection consists of 25 storage units of documents, five storage units of photographs and negatives and 77 maps. Although gaps exist, the collection nevertheless sufficiently reflects Hahn's activities in Ovamboland and contains extensive information on the people and country of northern South West Africa. Further files with material on CHL Hahn in the National Archives include LAN [708] 2115/02, EST [1111] 255/1948, NAO [1] 1/2, NAO [51] 1/12, SWAA [1899] A406/A/547, and Private Accession A.335. A.C.

Hahn Papers A.0450 Postscript (2017) The photographs were reviewed in August 2005 and transferred into protective covers to prevent further deterioration. They are stored in Boxes P.1-6 which are shelved with the “Photo Originals” Collection (PO/A.450). At an unknown stage between 1985 and 2000, a number of the negatives had been printed and taken into the Archives photo collection (photo collection numbers 11749-11947). Those photos are indexed in the PHOTO database, and are retrievable with the search term "@PHOT=HAHN, C.H.L." Access to the original photos and negatives is restricted. After the death of Mr Rodney Hahn, the copyright for C.H.L. Hahn’s photos is administered by his daughter Jo-Ann Visser, [email protected] . Related: A.0929 consists of copies Hahn photographs that had been handed over by Rodney Hahn to Ernst Rudolf Scherz, and are now with the Scherz estate at Basler Afrika Bibliographien.

Introduction The existence of a positive (self) image of a people is very important in the successful struggle for self-determination. An image can be constructed through various methods. This paper deals with the way in which an incorrect image of the Rehoboth Basters was constructed via the literature. Subjects that are considered interesting or popular, usually have a great number of different publications and authors. A large quantity of publications almost inevitably means that there is more information available on that specific topic. A large number of publications usually also indicates a great amount of authors who bring in many different views and interpretations.

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.

  • The Main Vegetation Types of Kaokoland, Northern Damaraland and a Description of Some Transects of Owambo, Etosha and North Western South West Africa
    THE MAIN VEGETATION TYPES OF KAOKOLAND, NORTHERN DAMARALAND AND A DESCRIPTION OF SOME TRANSECTS OF OWAMBO, ETOSHA AND NORTH WESTERN SOUTH WEST AFRICA Rui Ildegario de Sousa Correia June 1976 ~ € id Tdi MAIN VEGETATION TYPES OF KAOKOLAND, NORTHERN DAMARALAND AND A DESCRIPTION OF SOME TRANSECTS OF OWAMBO, ETOSHA AND NORTH WESTERN SOUT WEST AFRICA The general ecological conditions that influence the vege- tation types of the study area have already been described in a previous report. The main factor influencing vegetation here, is rainfall. Topography plays a very important paralel role related with an additional distribution of rainwater by the superficial drainage of hills and mountains to the neighbouring flats " and slopes. Concerning the soils, it appears that the physical structure is of more importance than the chemical composition, as this (the structure) determines the availability of water for root development. - Iu some specific instances the soil seems to have a marked effect on the vegetation such as the superficial calcareous layer in south-eastern Kaokoland. The influence of the watersheds is also well marked in deter- mining vegetation types, whether floristic or physiognomic. In addition both physiognomic features and floristic composi- tion have been used to determine the boundaries of the various vegetation types as described. Judicious use/..... ‘co Judicious use was also made of "indicator" species, whether by its occurence or by its absence. The following have been used-<« Baikeea plurijuga - Typical of red “alahari sands in the me~- dian and higher rainfall areas (300 - 700 mm/2),“- Spirostachys africane - Usually appears on the edge of pans (such as Owambo and Southern Angola) and along seasonal rockey c : or sandy dry water courses exept in the desert country courses.

  • Namibia a Violation of Trust
    AN OXFAM REPORT ON INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR POVERTY IN NAMIBIA M Y First Published 1986 ©Oxfam 1986 ISBN 0 85598 0761 Printed in Great Britain by Express Litho Service (Oxford) Published by Oxfam 274 Banbury Road Oxford 0X2 7DZ United Kingdom This book converted to digital file in 2010 Acknowledgements My main thanks must go to all the Namibian people who generously gave their time and expertise to help with the research for this book, particularly Oxfam friends and partners. I am also grateful to the Overseas Development Administration, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the Catholic Institute for International Relations and the Namibian Support Committee for their assistance in providing information. Thanks are especially due for the time and advice given by all those who read and commented on the drafts. In particular, I am grateful to Richard Moorsom who helped with both research and editing, and to Justin Ellis, Julio Faundez, Peter Katjavivi, Prudence Smith, Paul Spray and Brian Wood. This book reflects the collective experience of Oxfam's work in Namibia over the past twenty-two years and I have therefore relied on the active collaboration of Oxfam staff and trustees. Sue Coxhead deserves special thanks for her help with research and typing. Finally, without the special help with childcare given by Mandy Bristow, Caroline Lovick and Prudence Smith, the book would never have seen the light of day.

A well known postcard by Namibian photographer TONY PUPKEWITZ ,--------------------------------------·---·------------~ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ideas in this thesis originated in numerous stimulating discussions in the 1980s with colleagues in and out of my field: In particular, I thank my supervisor, Andrew B. Smith, Martin Hall, John Parkington, Royden Yates, Lita Webley, Yvonne Brink and Megan Biesele. Many people helped me in various ways during my years of being a nomad in Namibia: These include Molly Green of Cape Town, Rod and Val Lichtman and the Le Roux family of Windhoek. Special thanks are due to my two translators, Shorty Kasaona, and the late Kaupiti Tjipomba, and to Garth Owen-Smith, who shared with me the good and the bad, as well as his deep knowledge of Kunene and its people. Without these three Namibians, there would be no thesis. Field assistance was given by Tina Coombes and Denny Smith.

Eloff's expedition during September 1978, with the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Kaokoland is in the northwestern part of South West Africa/Namibia and covers an area of some 5½ million hectares (22,000 square miles) and at present is under the control of the South African Government and falls under the Minister of Plural Relations, Dr. C. Mulder. The most striking topographic feature of the region is the many mountains, from the dolomite hills in the south to the stark ridges and isolated eminences rising from the highland plains and to the towering peaks of the Northern Baynes and Otjihipa ranges.

  • Major Trollope and the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel One Night As He Lay
    Conference Paper for ABORNE 2009. Please do not cite vilify or pillage without at least talking to me. Beyond the Last Frontier: Major Trollope and the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel One night as he lay sleeping on the veranda of his residence in Katima Mulilo Major L.F.W. Trollope, the Native Commissioner and Resident Magistrate for the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel, was attacked by a nineteen year old wielding an axe. Major Trollope survived the attack and the assailant was soon arrested, but in the subsequent trial the “plum posting” that Trollope had created on the furthermost frontier of South African rule came crashing down. The trial brought to the fore that Trollope lived beyond the control of the South African administration to which he was formally subject, and that instead he had become enmeshed in the administrations of Northern Rhodesia and the Bechuanaland Protectorate. Originally appointed to Katima Mulilo to enforce South African rule in the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel, Trollope increasingly established his own fiefdom on the outer fringes of South African rule, and became evermore integrated in the administrations of countries beyond the borders of South Africa. By the time of his demise, Trollope ruled the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel in a manner that had more in keeping with the academically schooled coterie of District Commissioners of Northern Rhodesia and the Bechuanaland Protectorate, than that it bore relation to the apartheid securocrats of the South African Bantu Affairs Department to which he was nominally subject. Beyond the frontier Even amongst the arbitrarily drawn borders of Africa, the borders of the Namibian Caprivi strip are a striking anomaly jutting 500 kilometres into the African continent.
