    Kylemore Neighbourhood Watch, the Protectors Of

    IN SEARCH OF ALTERNATIVE POLICING: KYLEMORE NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH, THE PROTECTORS OF THEIR BELOVED COMMUNITY by CASSANDRA VISSER Thesis submitted in partial fl:l'HUIl) t of the requirements for the degree Master of Philosophy in Organisations and Public Cultures at the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Supervisor: Prof CS van der Waal March 2009 CHAPTER 4: THE KYLEMORE SETTLEMENT AND ITS WESTERN CAPE CONTEXT 4.1 Introduction Thus far various theoretical perspectives on community, policing and policy have been discussed, but now it is time to place these theories in perspective, by situating them within the community of Kylemore. Before embarking on this matter, the location under study must first be introduced and contextualized, to ensure a better understanding of how and why certain events have played out. The aim of this chapter is therefore to contextualise the location and events under study and to situate Kylemore within the specific historical, socio­ economical and development context of the Dwars River Valley and the broader Western Cape. This I will attempt to achieve by not only focusing on Kylemore and its experiences, but also by providing an historical background to the lifestyle in the Westem Cape from before colonialisation until the present. I will focus predominantly on the presently so-called 'coloured' people within the Western Cape and their interaction with the colonialists and the missionaries. This interaction ultimately led to the adoption of Christianity and a sense of respectability, which are fundamental factors that emerge in this study that help to comprehend the notions of crime and policing within Kylemore.

  • The Huguenots of South Africa in Documents and Commemoration

    The Huguenots of South Africa in Documents and Commemoration

    http://ngtt.journals.ac.za Coertzen, P Stellenbosch University The Huguenots of South Africa in documents and commemoration abstract This article is about the image of the Huguenots of South Africa that we find in documents and how they were commemorated in South Africa. The article proposes inter alia to investigate when the first anniversary of the Huguenots in South Africa occurred and when the name “Huguenot” gained acceptance in South Africa. It also tries to answer the question what the real contribution of the Huguenots to South Africa was. This is done against the background of the statement that Afrikaans speaking people merely created the “myth” of the Huguenots for their own identity, notably in 1994 after losing the leadership in the government of the country. The article shows that the contribution of the Huguenots to South Africa and its people is much more comprehensive and material. Abstrak Die Hugenote van Suid-Afrika – ʼn beeld vanuit dokumente en herdenking Hierdie artikel is oor die beeld van die Hugenote van Suid-Afrika wat ons in dokumente vind en oor hoe hulle in Suid-Afrika gedenk is. Die artikel stel ondermeer ondersoek in na wanneer die eerste herdenking van die Hugenote in Suid-Afrika plaasgevind het en ook wanneer die naam “Hugenoot” inslag gevind het in Suid- Afrika. Daar word ook probeer om die vraag te beantwoord wat die wesenlike bydrae van die Hugenote tot Suid-Afrika was. Die ondersoek word gedoen teen die agtergrond van die stelling dat die Afrikaners eintlik maar net die “mite” van die Hugenote geskep het om hulle eie identiteit te versterk, veral nadat hulle in 1994 hulle leierskap in die regering van die land verloor het.
