HUDSON Under the DireCtion of Dr. Mohammed Hassen Ali and Dr. Jared Poley ABSTRACT Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

Simonds ABSTRACT Country music, considered a uniquely American musical genre, has been relatively under-researched compared to rock and rap music. This thesis proposes research into the topic of country music, specifically the ways which country music songs portray gender. The thesis uses Billboard chart data to determine commercially successful songs, and performs a content analysis on the lyrics of these songs. I will select songs from a fifty year period ranging from 1955 to 2005, so as to allow for a longitudinal study of potential changes in

  • Oliver Schreiner Memorial Lecture Delivered by Justice Dikgang Moseneke on Thursday 23 October 2008 at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
    OLIVER SCHREINER MEMORIAL LECTURE DELIVERED BY JUSTICE DIKGANG MOSENEKE ON THURSDAY 23 OCTOBER 2008 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG SEPARATION OF POWERS, DEMOCRATIC ETHOS AND JUDICIAL FUNCTION Introduction I would like to thank the Wits Law School, its Dean, Professor Angelo Pantazis, and in particular, Professor Cora Hoexter, who has shepherded all the arrangements around this kind invitation to present the Oliver Schreiner Memorial Lecture. Mr Justice Oliver Deneys Schreiner was Chancellor of this University and Wits Law School proudly bears his name. It is special to find the opportunity to pay tribute to a very worthy predecessor whose impeccable excellence, towering intellect and steadfast integrity we can only be in awe of, but hardly equal. This lecture occurs a few months before the 15th anniversary of the inception of our constitutional democracy. Our new society is in puberty, only 15 years of age, but has already lost its innocence. Its childlike simplicity and trust are giving way to the intemperate excitement of youth, which hopefully will be 1 replaced by the pragmatism of adulthood. However, this loss of innocence is not to be decried. It appears not to have taken long for the hallowed promises of our Constitution to be called to incisive questioning. Multiple strands of conversation amongst all sectors of our society are increasing in volume and intensity. All this is welcome, because public disputation affords us space to inspect again the dominant and prominent features of our constitutional arrangements, and whether they are lived reality. In that vein, this lecture presents a much appreciated opportunity to look again at defining features of our project to deepen democracy and constitutionalism in a context that draws from our collective but troubled history, and ponders what may lie ahead.

Marlene Moore: thank you for being the best graduate student administrator ever! Your “can do” attitude, generosity, and kindness were all inspiring to me during this process.

(www.netdbs.com) ISBN 978-1-61897-161-6 The last decade of the 19th century were troubled years in South Africa. Tension between Britain and the two Boer republics, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, increased until war became inevitable. These turbulent ten years saw many notable fi gures pass through Cape Town at various times and for various reasons, fi gures like Robert Baden-Powell, Rudyard Kipling, Jan Smuts or Cecil Rhodes. All of them were friends, guests or visitors at ‘Mon Desir’, the home of Sir Henry Juta, barrister and Speaker of the Cape House. This is the story of Louise Juta, the youngest of his four daughters, from her birth until she left South Africa in 1904 to go to school in England and never return. She spent the last years of her long life in Switzerland. I would drop in most days for an hour or two to play scrabble with Lady Luia Forbes, as she then was, and listen to her reminiscing. This is the result. Sir Henry Juta Lady Luia Forbes Louise Juta For Luia in fond memory of the many hours we spent together.
