WHO’S WHERE IN CAPE ARCHITECTURE A directory of people and places Compiled from Hans Fransen’s The Old Buildings of the Cape with additional material from De Villiers and Pama’s genealogies, The Dictionary of South African Biography and other sources STEWART HARRIS [email protected] Vernacular Architecture Society of South Africa 2006 Important notes People do not invariably own the places mentioned. Number is page number, letter is column number. Includes property owners, architects, artists, surveyors, people associated with the place, some businesses and social movements. Additional information in brackets includes birth and death dates if known, key family details and, to indicate the time period, property transfer or other dates. People are not recorded if they are street or place names; but building or house names of special interest are intermittently captured. Authors of Fransen’s source documents are captured if mentioned in his main text but not from his acknowledgements paragraphs. Complex families, eg Eksteen, are numbered as de Villiers and Pama, eg a1b2c3. Their numbering system has been extended to include the stamvader as a1; where there are several stamvaders of the same name I have numbered them a2 etc in the order printed in de Villiers and Pama. Additional data is welcome. There are also some people of the same name and period who may be identical – clarification is welcome. Standard spelling of people’s names has been adopted to allow meaningful indexing, even though some branches of the family prefer a variant. For example, Mijburgh is indexed as Myburgh, Loubscher as Loubser – they are part of the same genealogical tree. I have not attempted to reconcile first names that are essentially the same eg Jan/Johannes/Hannes. Where Fransen refers to an unnamed widow or daughter or son, the person has where possible been identified and cross-indexed. Further data is welcome.

It is principally an index of personal names mentioned in Hans Fransen’s A guide to the old buildings of the Cape, and also records where the properties were located. It has been enriched with selective material identifying them from de Villiers and Pama’s Genealogies of old South African families and the Dictionary of South African biography, and partially from other references. By plotting individuals and where their properties were, the data base shows the diverse land holdings some had, and the geography of family ownership – it shows who’s where in Cape Architecture. The data base is an unrolling process – work in progress. I was not able to gather all of the outside references, for example from de Villiers and Pama Vol 3, and the addition of these would strengthen the data base. Also, many family and heritage historians have identified the person responsible for building work, effectively updating Fransen. If you find errors or have additional data please mail me at [email protected]. Thanks to Peter Coates for advising me about some of the tricky decisions involved in making an index – though the outcomes are my own responsibility. Thanks especially to Hans Fransen for his unequalled guide, the most important study yet made of Cape architecture, and for encouraging this exercise. As I worked through it, I realised what a mammoth undertaking his was: 5 700 buildings and places! I can never hope to visit all of them; but I enjoyed my vicarious journey in his knowledgeable and courteous company, and the people from the past that I met along the way.

University of Cape Town ‘A measure of civilization’ Let us always remember that our historical buildings are not only big tourist attractions… more than just tradition…these buildings are a visible, tangible history. These buildings are an important indication of our level of civilisation and a convincing proof for a judgmental critical world - that for more than 300 years a structured and proper Western civilisation has flourished and exist here at the southern point of Africa. The visible tracks of our cultural heritage are our historic buildings…they are undoubtedly the deeds to the land we love and which God in his mercy gave to us. 1 2 Fig.1.

    \ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN FACULTY OF EDUCATION THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF THE LIESBEEK RIVER VALLEY An investigation of the use of an Environmental History approach in ·historical research and in classroom practice A dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Ed in History Education \ -...... by JEAN ·BOTIARO MARCH 1996 ' f . , ,:.,- I'.! ' . t. c .-: . The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

    Transforming the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum Helene Vollgraaff 1

    Transforming the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum Helene Vollgraaff 1 Introduction The Bo-Kaap Museum, managed by Iziko Museums of Cape Town 2, was established in 1978 as a house museum showing the lifestyle of a typical “Cape Malay” family of the 19 th century. The well-known University of Cape Town Orientalist, Dr. I.D. du Plessis, was the driving force behind the establishment of the museum. From the start, the Bo-Kaap Museum was heavily criticized for its Orientalist approach. In true I.D. du Plessis style, Cape Muslims were depicted as a separate cultural group with an exotic and charming lifestyle that seperated them from the rest of local society. The exhibitions and programmes of the museum tended to focus on Islam as an all-consuming identity and emphasized customs that distinguished Cape Muslims from other religious and cultural groups in Cape Town. The result was a skewed representation that did not do justice to the diversity within the Cape Muslim community and was silent about aspects of integration between the Muslim and broader Cape Town communities. 3 In 2003, Iziko Museums launched a project to redevelop the Bo-Kaap Museum as a social history museum with Islam at the Cape and the history of the Bo-Kaap as its main themes. This approach allowed the museum to challenge its own Orientalist roots and to introduce exhibitions dealing with contemporary issues. As an interim measure, Iziko developed a series of small temporary exhibitions and public programmes that together signaled Iziko Museum’s intent to change the content and style of the museum.

    An Exhibition of South African Ceramics at Iziko Museums Article by Esther Esymol

    Reflections on Fired – An Exhibition of South African Ceramics at Iziko Museums Article by Esther Esymol Abstract An exhibition dedicated to the history and development of South African ceramics, Fired, was on show at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa, from 25th February 2012 until its temporary closure on 28th January 2015. Fired is due to reopen early 2016. The exhibition was created from the rich array of ceramics held in the permanent collections of Iziko Museums of South Africa. Iziko was formed in 1998 when various Cape Town based museums, having formerly functioned separately, were amalgamated into one organizational structure. Fired was created to celebrate the artistry of South African ceramists, showcasing works in clay created for domestic, ceremonial or decorative purposes, dating from the archaeological past to the present. This article reflects on the curatorial and design approaches to Fired, and the various themes which informed the exhibition. Reference is also made to the formation of the Iziko ceramics collections, and the ways in which Fired as an exhibition departed from ceramics displays previously presented in the museums that made up the Iziko group. Key words ceramics, studio pottery, production pottery, Community Economic Development (CED) potteries, museums Introduction Fired – an Exhibition of South African Ceramics celebrated South Africa’s rich and diverse legacy of ceramic making. The exhibition showcased a selection of about two hundred ceramic works, including some of the earliest indigenous pottery made in South Africa, going back some two thousand years, through to work produced by contemporary South African ceramists. The works were drawn mainly from the Social History Collections department of Iziko Museums of South Africa.1 Design and curatorial approaches Fired was exhibited within an evocative space in the Castle, with arched ceilings and columns and presented in two large elongated chambers (Fig.1).
