  • The Anglo-Boer War, a Welsh Hospital in South Africa
    24/05/2015 9:00 AM http://samilitaryhistory.org/vol123sw.html The South African Military History Society Die Suid-Afrikaanse Krygshistoriese Vereniging Military History Journal Vol 12 No 3 - June 2002 THE ANGLO-BOER WAR A WELSH HOSPITAL IN SOUTH AFRICA SA Watt, Pietermaritzburg The Welsh Hospital was one of a number of private initiatives in the medical services that were accepted and used by the British Government during the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902). It was organised by Professor Alfred W Hughes, assisted by a committee elected from the men and women of Wales. Funds amounting to £12 000 were acquired by subscription from the citizens of Wales and Welshmen residing outside the country. According to a Report by the Central British Red Cross Committee on the Voluntary Organisations in the Aid of the Sick and Wounded during the South African War, the personnel originally comprised three senior surgeons, two assistant surgeons, eight medical students and dressers, ten nursing sisters, two maids, 48 orderlies, cooks, and stretcher bearers. The medal roll lists 44 staff (W A Morgan, 1975, p 12). With them was the matron, Marion Lloyd. One of the senior surgeons was Professor Thomas Jones, who was a professor of surgery at Owen's College, Manchester, England (Report by the CBRCC, 1902; British Medical Journal, p 250). The personnel and equipment under the command of Major T W Cockerill embarked from Southampton on the Canada, 14 April 1900. The passage and freight was provided by the government. The stores, subsequently sent out, were shipped at the expense of the organisers.

  • Remembrance African Activist Archive Project Documenting
    Remembrance African Activist Archive Project Documenting Apartheid: 30 Years of Filming South Africa By Peter Davis During April 2004 and beyond we were constantly reminded that this is the tenth anniversary of the first democratic all-race elections in South Africa. I was shocked by the realization that last year also marked the thirtieth anniversary of my first visit to that country, of my first experience with apartheid. After that first trip in 1974 as part of an African tour I was doing for the American NGO, Care, I was to devote a large part of my working life to the anti-apartheid struggle. For those of us who were involved in that struggle, it was such an everyday part of life that it is hard to grasp that there is already a generation out there that does not know the meaning of “apartheid”. The struggle against apartheid took many forms, from protests, strikes, sabotage, defiance, guerrilla warfare within the country to boycotts, bans, United Nations resolutions, rock concerts, and arms and money smuggling and espionage outside. Apartheid, which was institutionalized by the coming to power of the white National Party in 1948, lasted as long as it did, against the condemnation of the world, because it had powerful friends. Chief among these were the United States, which saw a South Africa governed by whites as a useful ally in the Cold War; a Britain whose ruling class had close links with South African capital; and German, French, Israeli and Taiwanese commercial interests that extended even to sales of weapons and nuclear technology to the apartheid regime.

  • Death by Smallpox in 18Th and 19Th C. South Africa
    Anistoriton Journal, vol. 11 (2007) Essay Section Death by smallpox investigating the relationship between anaemia and viruses in 18th and 19th century South Africa Tanya R. Peckmann, Ph.D. Saint Mary's University, Canada The historical record combined with the presence of large numbers of individuals exhibiting skeletal responses to anaemia (porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia; PH and CO) are the main reasons for investigating the presence of smallpox in three South African communities, Griqua, Khoe, and ‘Black’ African, during the 18th and 19th centuries. The smallpox virus (variola) raged throughout South Africa every twenty or thirty years during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and was responsible for the destruction of entire communities. It has an 80 to 90 per cent fatality rate among non-immune populations (Aufderheide & Rodríguez-Martín 1998; Young 1998) and all ages are susceptible. The variola virus can only survive in densely populated areas and therefore sedentary communities, such as those present in agricultural and pastoral based societies, are more susceptible to acquiring the disease. Smallpox may remodel bone in the form of osteomyelitis variolosa (‘smallpox arthritis’) (Aufderheide & Rodríguez-Martín 1998; Jackes 1983; Ortner & Putschar 1985) which causes the reduction of longitudinal bone growth (Jackes 1983). However, since smallpox only remodels bone in very few individuals and solely in children the only method for unconditionally determining the presence of the smallpox virus in a skeletal population is by performing DNA and PCR analyses. Survival from smallpox affords the individual natural immunity for the remainder of their life. The virus is undetectable in a smallpox survivor as they will possess the antibodies for the disease and therefore will have gained natural immunity for the remainder of his or her life.

  • A Spirituality of Mercy in a Time of War
    Religion &Theology Religion & Theology 18 (2011) 147–172 brill.nl/rt A Spirituality of Mercy in a Time of War Pieter G. R. de Villiers Department of Old and New Testament, University of the Free State, P.O. Box 339, Bloemfontein 9300, Republic of South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article discusses the diary of the Rev. A. D. Luckhoff, written during the South African War in the infamous Bethulie concentration camp from the perspective of his Spirituality of mercy. It analyses the diary in terms of mercy as giving love, as charitableness and as respect for human dignity. It then investigates mercy in the diary as compassion and vulnerability, before it con- cludes by discussing how Lukchoff ’s faith in providence, his awareness of a divine call, his inner space of homeliness and love empower mercy. Keywords mercy, vulnerability, compassion, spirituality, A. D. Luckhoff 1. Introduction One of the best-known personalities in the Dutch Reformed church of the early twentieth century was the Rev. Abraham D. Luckhoff. Born in 1874 from a colourful family of pastors from Rhenish, Wesleyan and Dutch Reformed contexts,1 he is first and foremost remembered for his lifelong work in the Dutch Reformed Church’s welfare department for a period of 27 years (1916–1943). His upliftment of communities made a lasting impression on the church, his community and even the country to the extent that his advice on matters of upliftment was often asked by state departments, whilst he was 1 Cf.

  • Report from the Ina South Africa: SASMT 16 June 2017
    Report from the Ina South Africa: SASMT 16 June 2017 Elma Britz The South African Society of Music Teachers (SASMT) was formed in Johannesburg in 1918. The Society can therefore shortly look forward to celebrating its centenary! The SASMT owes its existence to the fact that, since its inception, there was a need to unify the music teaching profession and to further the interest of the profession ‘collectively and individually, besides bringing Music Education and our rich and varied culture to as many people as possible throughout all areas of Southern Africa’ (SASMT handbook revised 2015 - www.sasmt-savmo.org.za). Harry Garvin, a prominent teacher and all-round musician who had come to South Africa from England as a young violinist to lead various light music orchestras and a small group of music teachers felt the need for such a body. The first Annual General Meeting was held in October 1922. The broad outlines of a Constitution were laid down and Garvin was elected president, a position he held for the next nine years. Throughout the years, various membership benefits were established and promulgated. A benevolent fund is available to members who experience unforeseen financial difficulties. A small committee handles deserving applications with the utmost confidentiality. The fund accumulates interest in a special account and a small sum of membership fees is added annually. Many centres collect extra money which is paid into this account. The current editor of our magazine, John Roos, has a small concert venue (Tauromenium) attached to his home where he regularly collects donations from audiences in a newly decorated formerly defunct old cello for this purpose.

  • Palaeontological Impact Assessment May Be Significantly Enhanced Through Field Assessment by a Professional Palaeontologist
    PALAEONTOLOGICAL SPECIALIST STUDY: COMBINED DESKTOP & FIELD-BASED ASSESSMENT Four proposed solar PV projects on Farm Visserspan No. 40 near Dealesville, Tokologo Local Municipality, Free State Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] January 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ventura Renewable Energy (Pty) Ltd is proposing to develop up to four solar PV facilities, each of up to 100 MW generation capacity, on the farm Visserspan No. 40, c. 10 km northwest of Dealesville and 68 km northwest of Bloemfontein, in the Tokologo Local Municipality, Free State Province. Substantial direct impacts on fresh, potentially-fossiliferous Tierberg Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup) bedrocks during the construction phase of the proposed PV solar projects are considered unlikely. The mapped outcrop areas of the Tierberg Formation within the PV solar project areas are small while the mudocks here are likely to be weathered near-surface and mantled by thick superficial deposits such as calcrete. In this region, the near-surface Ecca Group bedrocks are very often extensively disrupted and veined by Quaternary calcrete as well as baked by dolerite intrusions, compromising their palaeontological sensitivity. Potentially fossiliferous Pleistocene alluvial or spring deposits were not encountered in the study area, while pan and associated dune sediments here lie largely – but not exclusively - outside the development footprint. The calcrete hardpans encountered within the study area are of low palaeontological sensitivity. The only fossil remains recorded during the field survey comprise a few small blocks of petrified fossil wood – reworked from Tierberg bedrocks - among surface gravels around the margins of a pan in the SE corner of Visserspan No.

GORDON when he discovered the Orange River at "De Fraaye Schoot" near the present Bethulie, probably on the 23rd December 1777. I. INTRODUCTION When the government of the Republic of South Africa in the early sixties decided to initiate a comprehensive water development scheme of its largest single water resource, the Orange River, this gave rise to a wide range of basic and applied scientific sur­ veys of that area. The reasons for these surveys were threefold: (1) The huge capital investment on such a water scheme can only be justified economically on a long term basis. Basic to this is that the waterworks be protected, over a long period of time, against inefficiency caused by for example silting. Therefore, management reports of the catchment area should.be produced. (2) In order to enable effective long term planning of the management and use of the natural resources in the area it is necessary to know the state of the local ecosystems before a major change is instituted.
