Virtually all of them did not hesitate to participate when they were invited, and were very understanding dur- ing the many reminders and requests from the editors. Th ere are many other colleagues and friends whose conversations with the editors gave birth and shape to the idea of a volume on the Mpondo Revolts. Th ese include, but not limited to, William Beinart, Gillian Hart, Mark Hunter, Sukude Matoti, Luvuyo Wotshela and Fred Hendricks, who introduced the idea of including a chapter on Western Pondoland. Th e editorial staff s at SAVUSA and Brill deserve thanks for their professionalism, patience and understanding. All of these virtues are probably more important in a project that has many authors, such as in an edited vol- ume. Comments from the anonymous reviewers of the individual chapters, as well as those of the two anonymous reviewers of the entire volume, were helpful. Th e fi nancial support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada allowed Th embela Kepe to participate in this project. So too is the support of the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa, through the Research Chair in Land Reform and Democracy in South Africa, which made it possible for Lungisile Ntsebeza, as Chair holder, to participate. Many of the chapters in this volume contain stories of pain and resilience of the Mpondo people. So the Mpondo people deserve praise for making this project possible.

Th e best known of these are the Sharpeville and Langa marches that took place in March 1960, where protesters were massacred and arrested by the state. Th ese protests were a culmination of resistance by the marginal- ized prior to 1960, ranging from passive to violent resistance, with some overt and others ‘hidden’. Th ey resembled the resistance by the marginalized – sustained or brief, and successful or not – against the hegemony of autocratic and repressive regimes that is found throughout history. Although the two marches referred to above took place in the urban areas of South Africa, others, as will be seen in this book, took place in rural areas. Th ere is little doubt that with regard to rural struggles, the Mpondo revolts rank among the most signifi cant and best known in South Africa. Th e highlight of these revolts was the 6th of June 1960, when security forces of the apartheid government massacred, injured and arrested scores of defenseless rural people who had gathered on the Ngquza Hill, Eastern Pondoland, in the Eastern Cape. Th ey were pro- testing against the government’s policies on rural administration and governance. Eleven people were killed on the day, others badly injured; while more were arrested (TRC 2003). In the days and weeks that fol- lowed the day of the massacre, more arrests, beatings and harassments followed (Kayser 2002). At least 30 people were later sentenced to death (CGTA 2010). As indicated, these events represented the height of the 1 Th e arrangement of editors (in the book and this introduction) is alphabetical and does not in any way refl ect any hierarchy in terms of contribution.

  • Natural and Supernatural: Intersections Between the Spiritual and Natural Worlds in African Witchcraft and Healing with Reference to Southern Africa
    Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology, Volume 7, Edition 1 May 2007 Page 1 of 10 Natural and Supernatural: Intersections Between the Spiritual and Natural Worlds in African Witchcraft and Healing with Reference to Southern Africa by T. S. Petrus and D. L. Bogopa Abstract For generations, African beliefs and practices regarding witchcraft and traditional healing have been located at the intersection between the natural world and the supernatural world. Despite the impact of both colonialism and, in the contemporary context, modernization, the complex interplay between these worlds has not been reduced. The interaction between nature and religion, as a facet of culture, has long been a subject of inquiry in anthropology, and nowhere is this more evident than in the study of African witchcraft and traditional healing. A distinct relationship exists between witchcraft beliefs and traditional healing methods. This relationship brings these two aspects of African culture together in such a complex manner that it is difficult to attempt to understand the dynamics of African witchcraft without referring to traditional healing methods, and vice versa. In this paper, the authors outline the various ways in which African witchcraft beliefs and practices, as well as traditional healing beliefs and practices, interact within the nature/culture domain. This interaction will be conceptualised in a Merleau-Pontian sense, focusing on the indeterminacy of the natural and supernatural worlds. In its presentation of an essentially anthropological case study focused on southern Africa, the paper draws on various ethnographic examples of African communities in the southern African context. Introduction among Neolithic cultures that religion and nature would develop an important and complex The study of the interaction between nature and interrelationship.

  • The Indigenous Constitutional System in a Changing South Africa Digby S Koyana Adjunct Professor, Nelson R Mandela School of Law, University of Fort Hare
    The Indigenous Constitutional System in a Changing South Africa Digby S Koyana Adjunct Professor, Nelson R Mandela School of Law, University of Fort Hare 1. MAIN FEATURES OF THE INDIGENOUS CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM In the African scenario the state comprises a hierarchy of component jural communities1. In hierarchical order, from the most comprehensive to the smallest, the jural communities are: the empire, the federation of tribes, the tribe, the district or section and the ward. The most common and simplest structure found amongst many peoples was the tribe, which consisted of a number of wards. The comprehensive jural community could be enlarged by the addition of tribes or tribal segments through conquest or voluntary subjugation. It is this way that empires, such as that of Shaka in Natal, were founded2. In such cases, the supreme figure of authority would be the king, and those at the head of the tribes, the chiefs, would be accountable to him. Junior chiefs in charge of wards would in turn be accountable to the chief, and there would naturally be yet more junior “officials”, relatives of the chief of the tribe, who would be in charge of the wards. The tribe itself has been described as “a community or collection of Natives forming a political and social organisation under the government, control and leadership of a chief who is the centre of the national or tribal life”3. The next question relates to the position of the chief as ruler in indigenous constitutional law. In principle the ruler was always a man. There are exceptions such as among the Lobedu tribe, where the ruler has regularly been a woman since 18004.
