Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Born as the youngest child of two of the most prominent Afrikaners of the 19th and 20th centuries, Emeline du Toit lived an explicitly political life, embodying her beliefs through her actions during some of the most important periods of Afrikaner nationalist development. With an innate ability to marry the public and private aspects of her life, Emmie used her personal connections to her benefit while working in the uppermost rungs of the National Party in the 1930s and 40s as one of a handful of women who were part and parcel of the decision-making processes. She would later join the right-wing, fascist group, the Ossewabrandwag, when she felt that the party was being weighed down by personal politics as opposed to working toward a notion of volkseenheid [unity of the nation/people] and the republican ideal she held on to with particular fervour. This work contributes to the broader body of the nationalist Afrikaner historiography and while illustrating the life of an outspoken and politically driven Afrikaner woman, who may otherwise have been known only by the footnotes marking the pages of biographies of the men she regarded as her friends and colleagues. Keywords: Afrikaner nationalism; Afrikaner women; Ossewabrandwag; fascism in South Africa; women in South African politics Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstrak1 Emeline du Toit is gebore as die jongste kind in een van die prominentste Afrikaner huishoudings van die 19de en 20ste eeu. Sy het haar oortuigings uitgeleef deur aktiewe politieke deelname tydens een van die belangrikste tydperke in die ontwikkeling van Afrikaner nasionalisme. Emmie se ingebore vermoë om haar private en openbare lewe te integreer, het haar in staat gestel om voordeel te trek uit persoonlike verhoudings, terwyl sy saam met etlike ander vroue in die hoogste kringe van die Nasionale Party se besluitnemingsprosesse betrokke was. Sy het later by die regse, fascistiese groep, die Ossewabrandwag betrokke geraak, aangesien sy van mening was dat die Nasionale Party verval het in persoonlike politiek en nie werklik meer die ideologie van volkseenheid (die eenheid van die volk) en die republikeinse ideaal wat sy nagestreef het, bevorder het nie. Hierdie tesis dra nie net by tot die breër historiografie oor Afrikaner nasionalisme nie, maar poog ook om die lewe van ’n uitgesproke, politiek-gedrewe Afrikanervrou uit te beeld, wat andersins slegs as ’n voetnota genoem in die biografieë van manne wat sy as haar vriende en kollegas beskou het, geken sou wees. Sleutelterme/ Terme: Afrikaner nasionalisme; Afrikaner vroue; Ossewabrandwag; fascisme in Suid-Afrika; vroue in Suid-Afrikaanse politiek 1 Kindly translated by Ilse Brookes Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Acknowledgements The last two years of work and research would not have been possible without the support and care from a great number of people who helped to guide and reassure me along the way. A simple page of acknowledgments cannot truly convey just how grateful I am to you all. To my supervisor, Dr Anton Ehlers, a great debt is owed for the endless effort put into each of your students and your willingness to go above and beyond for our benefit. Thank you for listening to my ramblings on Emmie and for setting me on her path in the first place. Your endless patience and guidance has made this project what it is. The Stellenbosch History Department would not function without Leschelle and Melvyn who spend countless hours running around after students and helping us get where we need to be. A special thanks to Leschelle who has always been a sounding board and a willing listener. I would not have been able to start this journey without the support, both academically and financially, of Prof. Johan Fourie and the Biography of an Uncharted People group. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be a part of the first cohort of a project as significant as this. Thank you to the whole team for your comments and critiques along the way as well as for opening my eyes to the histories that have yet to be written. More specifically, to Laura, for being the kindest person during this process. I am so grateful to have met you and your infinite historical wisdom that will always astound me. I would not have had many of the words and ideas that I did without your suggestions and comments. Thank you. The work of archivists and researchers is sorely underappreciated despite the efforts and devotion of those who work in these crucial spaces. I had the privilege of working with some of the most knowledgeable and helpful individuals and teams who made this project infinitely easier. To Erika, Thembile and Maxine at the Cape Archives who welcomed me into their space nearly every day for six months. To the incredible Carlien and Freddy at the Archive for Contemporary Affairs at UFS who went above and beyond to help with the research, even long after I left their homely archive. To Marieta Buys at Stellenbosch University Library Special Collections who in turn, put me in contact with the incredibly helpful Evert Kleynhans at the Ossewabrandwag Archive in Potchefstroom, both of whom saved me time and money by kindly sending incredibly important documents right to my inbox. Thank you for all that you do for students of history and the public at large. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za A special thank you goes to Pieter de Vos, Emmie’s grandson for the wonderful anecdotes, recollections and sheer generosity in sharing the memories of your grandmother and for opening your private collection to me. Hearing about this remarkable woman from your perspective towards the end of the journey helped to create an even better image of her than what I had imagined. Thank you also goes to the Steyn family in Bloemfontein who allowed me to visit the homestead of Onze Rust to see the home in which Emmie spent some of her earliest years. Thank you also to Ruhan for your hospitality during that stay. To my wonderful friends Jess, Nicole and Masi who did not abandon me and also had to listen to my complaints at any given time of the day. Thank you for always taking an interest in my work and for checking in on me when it was needed most. Thank you also to my grandparents for fostering a love of history and for your love and kind words along the way. Most importantly, to my parents and sister who have been nothing short of amazing in their unwavering support over this period. Thank you for tolerating my terrible moods, listening to my ramblings and providing insights and feedback on my work. Most of all, thank you for always being around and for never allowing me to forget how fortunate I am to have a family that wholly supports everything I do, all with just the right balance of cynicism and love to boot. Mom, Dad and Bren, you are everything to me. Thank you.

  • Military Conscription in South Africa, 1952-1972
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 35, Nr 1, 2007. doi: 10.5787/35-1-29 46 PATRIOTIC DUTY OR RESENTED IMPOSITION? PUBLIC REACTIONS TO MILITARY CONSCRIPTION IN WHITE SOUTH AFRICA, 1952-1972 __________________________________ Graeme Callister Department of History, University of Stellenbosch1 Introduction It is widely known that from the introduction of the Defence Amendment Act of 1967 (Act no. 85 of 1967) until the fall of apartheid in 1994, South Africa had a system of universal national service for white males, and that the men conscripted into the South African Defence Force (SADF) under this system were engaged in conflicts in Namibia, Angola, and later in the townships of South Africa itself. What is widely ignored however, both in academia and in wider society, is that the South African military relied on conscripts, selected through a ballot system, to fill its ranks for some fifteen years before the introduction of universal service. This article intends to redress this scholastic imbalance. The period of universal military service coincides with the period that saw South Africa in the world’s spotlight, when defeating apartheid was the great crusade in which capitalist and communist alike could engage. It is therefore not surprising that the military of that era has also been studied. Post-1967 universal national service in South Africa has received some attention from scholars, and is generally portrayed as a resented imposition at best. Resistance to conscription is widely covered, especially through the 1980s when organisations such as the Conscientious Objectors Support Group (COSG, formed in 1980) and the End Conscription Campaign (ECC, formed in 1983) gave a more public ‘face’ to the anti-conscription movement.2 However, as can be seen from the relatively late 1 I would like to extend my gratitude to Professor Albert Grundlingh of the University of Stellenbosch for his comments and advice on the first draft of this article.

  • Appendix: More on Methodology
    Appendix: More on Methodology Over the years my fi rst monograph, The Nature of Fascism (1991), has been charged by some academic colleagues with essentialism, reductionism, ‘revisionism’, a disinterest in praxis or material realities, and even a philosophical idealism which trivializes the human suffering caused by Hitler’s regime. It is thus worth offering the more methodologically self-aware readers, inveterately sceptical of the type of large-scale theorizing (‘metanarration’) that forms the bulk of Part One of this book, a few more paragraphs to substantiate my approach and give it some sort of intellectual pedigree. It can be thought of as deriving from three lines of methodological inquiry – and there are doubtless others that are complementary to them. One is the sophisticated (but inevitably contested) model of concept formation through ‘idealizing abstraction’1 which was elaborated piece-meal by Max Weber when wrestling with a number of the dilemmas which plagued the more epistemologically self-aware academics engaged in the late nineteenth-century ‘Methodenstreit’. This was a confl ict over methodology within the German human sciences that anticipated many themes of the late twentieth-century debate over how humanities disciplines should respond to postmodernism and the critical turn.2 The upshot of this line of thinking is that researchers must take it upon themselves to be as self-conscious as possible in the process of constructing the premises and ‘ideal types’ which shape the investigation of an area of external reality. Nor should they ever lose sight of the purely heuristic nature of their inquiry, and hence its inherently partial, incomplete nature.

  • History 1886
    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

Persistently promoted as health measures, many of the racial policies enacted would go on to have considerable and, in many cases, devastating consequences for the family sphere. This thesis examines one aspect of Nazi policy, the practice of genealogy. Re-envisioned and turned into a civic duty of the ‘responsible citizen,’ this one-time hobby forced Germans to reassess friendships, marriages and courtships.
