(Photo: Steads Studios, Ladysmith) SCHOOL NEWS 1974 at Michaelhouse opened on a sad note; for on the very day that the school assembled for the new school year came the news of the sudden death of Mr K. M. Pennington. At a Memorial Service a few days later the chapel and crypt were crowded when the Bishop of Natal conducted the service and the Suffragan Bishop (Rt. Rev. K. B. Hallowes (O.M.)) gave the address. * * * We welcome to the staff Mr E. G. Hilditch, who joins the Science Department from Peterhouse, Rhodesia, and Mr M. T. Goulding, who joins the Maths Department from St Martin's, Johannesburg. We extend a warm welcome to them and their wives, as we do to Mr J. P. Underhay and Mr D. A. Wolhuter, who are teaching Afrikaans and Biology respectively. * * * Mr Robin Standing left the staff at the end of 1973 and will be joining the staff at Bishops next year. He has been succeeded as Head of the Biology Department by Mr G. G. Bompas; we also said good-bye at the end of the year to Mr P. H. Laverack and Mrs B. R. Lewis, though the latter of course is still with us as one of the staff wives. * * * Details of our 1973 Matric results are to be found on another page; but we think that for two boys (Russell Gould of West and Guy Clarke of Pascoe) to have each gained six Distinctions and a 'B' is quite without parallel. In addition Gould won the Joint Matriculation Board Bursary, awarded annually by the Board to the candidate who achieves the highes t aggregate in the exam. Our A Level results were also very pleasing; our 89% pass level compared very favourably with the 58% pass level normally achieved in the U.K. Eight Distinctions were gained with K. J. Rasmussen gaining Distinctions in all three of his subjects. * * * In October Professor G. Beukes, who taught at Michaelhouse for a short while before World War II, visited the school to present Guy Clarke, on behalf of the S.A. Akademie van Wetenskap & Kuns, with a silver medal for finishing in the first ten of the countrywide Maths Olympiad. Michaelhouse still leads all schools in the country in the number of silver medals awarded since the inception of the Olympiad. * * * 3 A highly successful Gaudy Dinner was held in the Memorial Hall on 27th October last for those who entered the school between 1945 and 1950. * * * Clearing the site for the new Quadrangle began at the beginning of March and already several ancient edifices have been razed to the ground. Latest news of the progress of the Development Foundation is to be found in an article by the Rector on Page 12 of this edition. * * * The annual exchange with Port Natal Hoer Skool has taken place this March, whereby one senior boy from each House goes to Port Natal and seven of their boys come to us. Everyone seems to have enjoyed it as much as usual. * * * Mr Knight recently travelled to the Mountain Zebra Park near Queenstown to collect two Black Wildebeeste which have been presente d to our Game Park by Mr Pat Niven (O.M.). * * * We are sorry to report the death of Mr H. E. ("Jonah") Jones, who for many years taught wind instruments at Michaelhouse and who did an incredible amount for our bugle and military bands. And at the end of March we were grieved to hear of the death of Dr Helmut Weigart. Dr Weigart, who taught Maths here for two terms at the end of 1970, died in an heroic attempt to rescue an Indian schoolgirl from drowning on the North Coast. * * * We congratulate Alan Draper (Tatham, 1966 - 1970) on being awarded the Natal Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University for 1974. * * * Our warmest congratulations and best wishes go to Messrs Rodney Blake, David Gear and Johannes Underhay on their marriages during the April holidays. * * * There are 435 boys in the school this year of whom 20 are in the Sixth Form. 4 IN MEMORIAM K. M. P. Kenneth Misson Pennington passed away suddenly, after a brief illness, on 23rd January, 1974. His death came as a devastating and numbing surprise to his family and to all the many hundreds of people who had known and respected him. To us at Michaelhouse it seemed as if a part of the school had withered away. On consideration, however, we find so much in the fabric and essence of the school and its Community that owes its origin or encouragement to K. M. P. that his memory will live on, even amongst those who never knew him, as long as Michaelhouse is. My researches into his activities have left me astounded at the sheer weight of work he did. The truth is that, to the last, he was a man of boundless energy with a zest for living. More important, his actions were impelled by a spirit of service based on deep religious conviction. Born in September 1897, the eldest of a large family of boys, he grew up in Greytown and attended St. David's School. He came to Michaelhouse in 1911, capping a notable career by achieving a First Class Intermediate B.A. in 1914 at the end of his second year in the Vlth Form. He had won the Bishop's prize for Religious Knowledge in the Vth and Vlth Forms and was a School Prefect. Both in rugby and cricket he gained his Colours or, as we would say today, Honours. Of his rugby in 1914 Chronicle remarked that he was "the type of player Natal will want in the future" and he was to captain both rugby and tennis teams at Trinity College, Oxford. But, though we find him playing rugby for the Staff against the 1st XV in 1943 when one of his tackles was said to have been reminiscent of the performance of a Mark IV tank, and his exploits on the cricket field, the squash court and the tennis court continued for much longer, and though his keeness for games was obvious, he always maintained the right perspective about them in relation to more important activities. His time at Natal University College was cut short by the war, in which, as a member of the Royal Flying Corps, he had a distinguished career, winning the Air Force Cross and being mentioned in dispatches.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • The Critical Tradition at Rhodes University: Retrospect and Prospect
    Af ri can So cio log i cal Re view, 9, (1), 2005, pp.1-13. The Critical Tradition at Rhodes University: Retro spect and Prospect Fred Hendricks Dean of Hu man ities Man aging Ed i tor, Af ri can So cio log i cal Re view Rhodes Uni ver sity Pe ter Vale Nel son Mandela Chair of Po lit i cal Studies Rhodes Uni ver sity Intro duction Steven Bantu Biko came to Rhodes University in 1967 as a University of Natal (Black Section) delegate at a NUSAS (National Union for South African Students) congress held in Grahamstown. He discovered that apartheid was alive and well at Rhodes. In observing a segre ga tionist ruling, the university had prohibited accom mo dation for blacks on campus. Biko, together with other student delegates from Wentworth (Natal), put forward a motion to adjourn the conference and simul ta neously invited his fellow white delegates to join him at a non-racial venue in the nearby townships of Grahamstown. The motion was defeated. It was a critical moment in the history of student and black struggles in South Africa. There were two major conse quences of this decision by the white-dominated student body. Firstly, it exposed the very severe limits or even irrel e vance of liber alism in the face of the racist repression of apartheid; and secondly, it set in motion a trajectory of independent black-led struggles which were vital to the eventual demise of apartheid in 1994. Biko left NUSAS and two years later launched the South African Students’ Organi sation (SASO) at the University of the North (Turfloop).

  • Funding Sources for Municipalities Was Compiled
    PREFACE The South African Constitution and the Municipal Structures Act spells out the powers and functions of local government in terms of providing municipal infrastructure and rendering prescribed basic services to local populations. Also, in terms of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act (Act No. 32 of 2000) (“MSA”), the objective is “to build local government into an efficient, frontline development agency capable of integrating the activities of all spheres of government for the overall social and economic upliftment of communities adapted to their local natural environment” and to promote a type of development that is sustainable “and includes integrated social, economic, environmental, spatial, infrastructural, institutional, organisational and human resources upliftment of a community aimed at- (a) improving the quality of life of its members with specific reference to the poor and other disadvantaged sections of the community; and (b) ensuring that development serves present and future generations”. In order to achieve this, funding is required that surpasses the capabilities of municipalities and what they are able to rake in through their revenue generating mechanisms or what they receive as provincial and national government allocations. However, various sources of grants, loans and funding exist with a mandate that is in line with core infrastructure and service areas of municipalities. Many municipalities are either uninformed of these funding sources and/or lack the resources and capacity required to access the funding. Accessing the different funding sources are further complicated by the diverse and sometimes complex procedural protocols. It is for this express purpose that different role-players have identified the need for support to be provided to municipalities to better access funding.

Thomas Hood. As we grow older our memories become more precious to us, and most vivi dly we recall the turbulent years of our adolescence, our hopes and fea rs, our loves and hates, our triumphs and our failures. Memories of school days at Michaelhouse are unique for each individual, b ut the photographs and stories in this book, reflecting each decade of th e school's hundred years, will, we hope, evoke for every old boy a pleasa nt feeling of nostalgia. Each reader can people the familiar places with his own contemporaries and the staff of his day. Yesterday evening, Sunday 14th May, 1995, I was roaming around the estat e. Autumn leaves carpeted the ground and the setting sun bathed the vall ey in a romantic rosy glow. I felt nostalgic. As I passed by the chapel I thought of Charles Hannah making his annual visit and hopefully 'final ' farewell sermon. None of us cared to hear for the umpteenth time the o ld man's reminiscences, including how he had walked round the Oval with Canon Todd deciding where each tree was to be planted. Passing through t he passage way, where the staff nowadays collect their post from their p igeonholes, I remember it as the entrance hall of the Rectory, and I rec all dinner parties in these rooms which are now offices, Fred and Margar et Snell our gracious hosts.
