Introduction

General

This accession is one of several letter-copy books kept by Hendrik Witbooi as an administrative record since 1884. It became widely known as The diary of Hendrik Witbooi (Die dagboek van Hendrik Witbooi), although the book contains only three diary entries, while the rest consist of copies of the letters Witbooi sent and received. It covers items dated between 1882 and 1893. Two other Witbooi letter-copy books, and a fragment of a fourth one, are held by the National Archives, in Accession A.0650 (Bremen Papers) and AACLRS.115.

Although the letters and the diary notes were certainly authored by Hendrik Witbooi, they were copied into the book by various scribes, among whom Petrus Jod and Samuel Izaak have been identified.

Provenance

The book was kept at the Witbooi settlement Hoornkrans and looted by German forces following their unprovoked attack on Hoornkrans, 12 April 1893, together with other papers which are apparently lost.1 It was taken by Major Curt von François, who eventually took it to Germany.2 It is still undocumented how the book found its way back to Namibia. Dewdney Drew apparently claims that in 1917 it was in possession of the Magistrate of Rehoboth, Mr Rossouw.3 It was obviously available to the compilers of the 1918 “Blue Book” who cited extensively from it.4 .

Findaid 2/120 Introduction A.2 the 1920s it was kept by the Administration of South West Africa, although at times inaccessible.5 In early 1926, it was reported to have been temporarily issued to a certain Mr. Bruchhausen who had been tasked with editing a source publication of the book for the Van Riebeeck Society, which he did not finish. The book was eventually returned to the Administration by 1928 or earlier.6 In 1948 it was transferred to the Archives, where it remained ever since.7 The assertion that it was “found among the papers of the Magistrate of Walvis Bay”8 is not supported by other documentation.

Description and preservation condition

The accession consists of one leather-bound hardcover book, containing 366 numbered pages, and measuring 32.5 x 21 cm. It is an accounting ledger of pale blue-grey paper with blue lines and red columns. Only pages 12-23, 101-103, 110-120, and 128-291 are inscribed. The book had been bought from Barry Arnold & Co, Stationers, in Cape Town.

While the paper is in good condition, the binding is dilapidated, presumably because of repeated photocopying. The leather cover is smudged, worn thin and damaged at some edges, but largely intact.

Biographical notes

Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi (!Nanseb ǀGâbemab, ca.1930 - 1905) was born in Pella, Cape Colony as grandson of Kaptein (gao-aob) Kido Witbooi, and son and successor of Kaptein Moses Witbooi. He was educated as teacher and lay preacher at Gibeon by the Rhenish missionary Johannes Olpp. He was installed a Kaptein of the ǀKhowesin (Witboois) after the death of his father in 1884. He resisted colonisation of Namibia by Germany with a diplomatic campaign against the signing of so-called protection treaties, and waged war against German Schutztruppe 1893-1894 after being attacked by C.v. François at his residence Hoornkrans. After a war against German forces under Theodor Leutwein, involving heavy losses on both sides, he was forced to conclude a “protection treaty” with Germany in 1894. He lived in Gibeon and Rietmond from 1894-1904, and repeatedly assisted the German colonial government in wars against other Namibian communities. After again declaring war against the German Government in October 1904, he was mortally wounded in a skirmish at Vaalgras on 29 October 1905. There are conflicting versions about his death date, either 29 October or 3 November 1905.

Hendrik Witbooi’s contribution and leading role in the anti-colonial struggle is widely recognised, and honoured amongst other by his portrait on the Namibian Dollar banknotes.

Bibliography

The letters contained in this book have been repeatedly cited by various authors, starting with Hugo von François (1896). The entire text was published in the original Cape Dutch in 1929, and repeatedly in English and German translations, together with additional correspondence items found in other sources.9 These scholarly editions assist in working with the original text, although the translations are not always entirely reliable.
