  • Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations Ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
    Pedi operations Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902 Felix Malunga' Introduction In this paper an attempt will be made to demonstrate how the Pedi under the leadership of Sekhukhune II took advantage of wartime conditions during the Anglo - Boer War to reshape the pattern of colonial relations imposed on them by the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, to attempt to re-establish the dominance of the Sekhukhune House in the eastern Transvaal and to negotiate favourable terms with the occupying British military forces once the ZAR was defeated. It will also be shown that often Sekhukhune II deliberately followed a policy of not eliminating republican govemment officials, Boer farmers and their families as well as the Berlin missionaries in order not to antagonise the British and Boer military authorities against him. However, Sekhukhune II subjected all these groups to frequent harassment. Another primary aim of Sekhukhune II was to concentrate on punishing "sell-out usurpers" of the Pedi paramountcy who had betrayed the Pedi polity by pledging allegiance to Abel Erasmus, the Native Commissioner, who had represented Boer hegemony over the Pedi between 1881 and 1899. Again, Sekhukhune II punished Pedi Christian converts of the Berlin missionary society who had abandoned and undermined Pedi traditions and culture by converting and adhering to Christian principles. In this respect, a number of Berlin mission stations became battlefields of the warring Pedi factions. In the process these mission stations were neutralised as centres of the Berlin missionary activities. It was only after 1902 that attempts were made by the missionary authorities to rebuild these mission stations.

  • Migrants, Comrades and Rural Revolt. Sekhukhuneland 1950 -1987
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. ARTICLE TRANSFORMATION 13 (1990) MIGRANTS, COMRADES AND RURAL REVOLT. SEKHUKHUNELAND 1950 -1987* Peter Delius A daunting but pressing task facing the ANC in the 1990s is to build branches and support in the countryside. One view of the history of the movement has been that reserve and farm lands have been a major point of organizational weakness. This judgement has been qualified by recent research but the discus- sion of specific instances of rural organization remains sparse - an inadequacy made all the more serious by the present need to identify the possibilities and pitfalls facing organization in the countryside. The north-eastern Transvaal has been one of the epicentres of modern rural resistance. In the 1950s it was the site of the Sekhukhuneland Revolt while in the 1980s it was caught up in a struggle which Lodge has described as 'the most significant rural uprising' since the Pondoland revolt of 1960. There were significant elements of continuity between these revolts - not least of all in the role of a broadly Congress political tradition - but there were also major shifts in the composition and focus of the struggles. In the 1950s an ANC linked organisation of migrant workers - Sebatakgomo - played a crucial role. It rallied support both on the Rand and in Bopedi in defence of a residual but cherished economic and political autonomy grounded in chiefly power and communal tenure.
