HIA – PROPOSED KAREERAND TSF EXPANSION 2 JuNe 2020 Page v of xi EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PGS Heritage (Pty) Ltd was appoiNted by GCS Water & EnviroNmeNtal CoNsultants to uNdertake a Heritage Impact AssessmeNt (HIA), which forms part of the eNviroNmeNtal process for the proposed Kareerand TSF ExpansioN Project, located oN certaiN portioNs of the farms Kromdraai 420 IP, HartebeestfoNteiN 422 IP, WildebeestpaN 442 IP, BuffelsfoNteiN 443 IP, Umfula 575 IP aNd Megadam 574 IP, to the east aNd south-east of Klerksdorp, withiN the City of Matlosana and Potchefstroom Local MuNicipalities, North West ProviNce. An archival and historical desktop study was undertaken to provide a historic framework for the project area and surrouNdiNg landscape. This was augmented by a study of available historical topographical maps and an assessment of previous archaeological and heritage studies completed for the study area and surrouNdiNg landscape. The desktop study revealed that the study area is located iN surrouNdiNgs characterised by a loNg aNd sigNificaNt history. The study area was assessed iN the field by way of iNteNsive walkthroughs that were augmeNted by vehicle surveys. The fieldwork was undertaken by experienced fieldwork teams comprising one heritage specialist/archaeologist and one fieldwork assistant. A total of four fieldwork trips were undertaken by experienced fieldwork teams between 2017 and 2018. DuriNg all these fieldwork trips these teams comprised oNe heritage specialist/archaeologist aNd oNe fieldwork assistaNt. The fieldwork resulted iN the ideNtificatioN of 48 archaeological aNd heritage sites. These ideNtified sites comprise the followiNg: • Six Cemeteries (see sites AGA-MWS-WBP-6, AGA-MWS-WBP-12, AGA-MWS-UMF-4, AGA-MWS- MGD-2, AGA-MWS-MGD-3 and AGA-MWS-BFF-7); • Eight Possible Graves (see sites AGA-MWS-HBF-5, AGA-MWS-WBP-15, AGA-MWS-WBP-18, AGA-MWS-WBP-19, AGA-MWS-KRD-1, AGA-MWS-MGD-7, AGA-MWS-MGD-8, AGA-MWS- MGD-9); • One Historic Black Homestead coNtaiNiNg CoNfirmed Graves (AGA-MWS-MGD-5); • TweNty Historic Black Homesteads (AGA-MWS-WBP-1, AGA-MWS-WBP-2, AGA-MWS-WBP-3, AGA-MWS-WBP-4, AGA-MWS-WBP-7, AGA-MWS-WBP-8, AGA-MWS-WBP-9, AGA-MWS-WBP- 10, AGA-MWS-WBP-11, AGA-MWS-WBP-13, AGA-MWS-WBP-14, AGA-MWS-WBP-16, AGA- MWS-UMF-5, AGA-MWS-MGD-4, AGA-MWS-MGD-6, AGA-MWS-BFF-9, AGA-MWS-BFF-10, AGA-MWS-BFF-11, AGA-MWS-BFF-12 and AGA-MWS-BFF-13); HIA – PROPOSED KAREERAND TSF EXPANSION 2 JuNe 2020 Page vi of xi • Three ReceNt Structures (see sites AGA-MWS-HBF-6, AGA-MWS-UMF-1 & AGA-MWS-MGD-1); • Two Historic Farmsteads (see sites AGA-MWS-WBP-17 & AGA-MWS-UMF-3); • Seven StoNe Age sites (see sites AGA-MWS-WBP-5, AGA-MWS-UMF-2, AGA-MWS-BFF-14, AGA- MWS-BFF-15, AGA-MWS-BFF-16, AGA-MWS-BFF-17 and AGA-MWS-BFF-18); aNd • One old laNe of trees (AGA-MWS-BFF-8). The impact of the proposed developmeNt oN the located heritage sites was assessed in Chapter 7 of this report. For this purpose, aN overlay of the ideNtified archaeological aNd heritage sites over the proposed development footprint areas was made. This overlay revealed that four sites are located withiN, or iN proximity to, these proposed developmeNt footpriNt areas. These four sites are AGA-MWS- WBP-2, AGA-MWS-MGD-5, AGA-MWS-MGD-6 AND AGA-MWS-MGD-7. Assessments of the impact before and after mitigation were undertaken. MitigatioN measures are outliNed iN Chapter 8 of this report. The mitigatioN measures required for sites AGA-MWS-WBP-2, AGA-MWS-MGD-5 and AGA-MWS-MGD-6 will be outlined first. The followiNg iNitial mitigatioN measure is required for the four sites: • A social consultation process to assess whether any local residents or the wider public is aware of the preseNce of graves here. DepeNdiNg oN the outcome of the social coNsultatioN process, three differeNt outcomes would be the result, Namely: • Outcome 1: The social coNsultatioN absolutely coNfirms that No graves are located here. • Outcome 2: The social coNsultatioN absolutely coNfirms that graves are located here. • Outcome 3: The social coNsultatioN does Not yield aNy coNfideNt results. The followiNg mitigatioN measures would be required for sites falliNg uNder Outcome 1: • No further mitigatioN with regards to the uNmarked stillborn graves would be required. The followiNg mitigatioN measures would be required for sites falliNg uNder Outcome 2: • A grave relocation process must be undertaken.

  • History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902
    335 CHAPTER XIV. OPERATIONS IN THE WESTERN TRANSVAAL* (continued). THE PURSUIT AND ESCAPE OF DE WET. The westward drift of hostile forces from Rustenburg, and the surrender of Klerksdorp, made Lord Roberts anxious for the safety of the small isolated posts on the route to Mafeking. A runner was sent to Lieut. -Colonel CO. Hore at Elands River, directing him to call in the detachment of sixty men from Wonderfontein, and warning him to prepare for a siege. The garrisons of Lichtenburg and Zeerust were also ordered to Otto's Hoop. AngloBoerWar.comThese changes, and the presence of a commando near Woodstock, half-way between Magato Nek and Elands River, increased the difficulty of supplying Baden-Powell's force ; and the retention of Rustenburg had to be reconsidered. The Proposed evacuation of this stronghold of the old Boer spirit would mean Rustenburg. a great revival of hope amongst the despondent enemy, and would probably lead to the re-establishment of a new seat of government in the heart of the Transvaal, with consequent per- secution of all who had sided with the British. These views Baden-Powell insistently laid before Lord Roberts, pointing out that the holding of Rustenburg and Zeerust was necessary alike for moral effect, to give sanctuary to peacefully disposed Boers, and to provide bases of supply for mobile columns. In the eyes of the Commander-in-Chief the strategical gain of evacuation outweighed the political loss. He judged that the force at his disposal was best employed in guarding the railway, and in beating the enemy in the field.

  • British Scorched Earth and Concentration Camp Policies
    72 THE BRITISH SCORCHED EARTH AND CONCENTRATION CAMP POLICIES IN THE 1 POTCHEFSTROOM REGION, 1899–1902 Prof GN van den Bergh Research Associate, North-West University Abstract The continued military resistance of the Republics after the occupation of Bloemfontein and Pretoria and exaggerated by the advent of guerrilla tactics frustrated the British High Command. In the case of the Potchefstroom region, British aggravation came to focus on the successful resurgence of the Potchefstroom Commando, under Gen. Petrus Liebenberg, swelled by surrendered burghers from the Gatsrand again taking up arms. A succession of proclamations of increasing severity were directed at civilians for lending support to commandos had no effect on either the growth or success of Liebenberg’s commando. His basis for operations was the Gatsrand from where he disrupted British supply communications. He was involved in British evacuations of the town in July and August 1900 and in assisting De Wet in escaping British pursuit in August 1900. British policy came to revolve around denying Liebenberg use of the abundant food supplies in the Gatsrand by applying a scorched earth policy there and in the adjacent Mooi River basin. This occurred in conjuncture with the brief second and permanent third occupation of Potchefstroom. The subsequent establishment of garrisons there gave rise to the systematic destruction of the Gatsrand agricultural infrastructure. To deny further use of the region by commandos it was depopulated. In consequence, the first and largest concentration camp in the Transvaal was established in Potchefstroom. The policies succeeded in dispelling Liebenberg from the region. Introduction Two of the most controversial aspects of the Anglo Boer War are the closely related British scorched earth and concentration camp policies.

  • Boer War 1899-1902 ______
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 37, Nr 1, 2009. doi: 10.5787/37-1-61 95 THE THREE BRITISH OCCUPATIONS OF POTCHEFSTROOM DURING THE ANGLO- BOER WAR 1899-1902 ___________________________________________________________________ Prof Gert van den Bergh Research Associate, Subject Group History and Ancient Culture, North-West University Introduction In the course of 1900, the second year of the Anglo-Boer War, Potchefstroom was occupied three times by British forces and twice evacuated, all in the space of five months. This article focuses on the circumstances leading to these events, their significance for the effective British occupation of south-western Transvaal and on the effects of the occupations on the civilian population of the town. Possession of Potchefstroom, next to Pretoria and Johannesburg, the most populous town in the Transvaal, was a pre-requisite for British occupation of all of the south-western quarter of the Transvaal. The main consideration being that the Western Railway line ran through Potchefstroom terminating in Klerksdorp. Its use was indispensable as a supply route for all garrison towns to be established south and west of Krugersdorp. The expectations that all would be accomplished with ease were dashed by the advent of the guerrilla phase of the war by mid-1900. Critical in this regard was the activation of renewed Boer hostilities securely based in the Gatsrand from where all rail and road communication between Potchefstroom and its supply base in Krugersdorp was disrupted.
