  • Concentration Camps and Labor Compounds in Late Nineteenth-Century South Africa
    Chapter 2 Exceptional Space: Concentration Camps and Labor Compounds in Late Nineteenth-Century South Africa Lindsay Weiss Abstract This chapter explores and compares the causes and effects of colonial labor camps and concentration camps in nineteenth-century southern Africa. This comparison is an attempt to understand the relationship between the lethality of wartime camps and labor camps in the modern era. While concentration camps and worker labor camps were established according to ostensibly different power regimes and causal factors, British wartime concentration camps established dif- ferent camps for Boers and Africans—the latter being structurally identical to preceding labor camps established on the South African Diamond Fields. Introduction This chapter is an attempt to understand the phenomenon of the camp through events that occurred in late nineteenth-century colonial southern Africa. I will explore the camp both through the lens of war and the lens of labor, exploring both the cre- ation of closed worker compounds for miners working on the Diamond Fields and the subsequent establishment of British wartime concentration camps during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902. The colonial context reveals important contiguities between camps associated with wartime (and thus state-sanctioned modes of killing) and those labor camps which perpetrated more mundane forms of killing. The point of comparing these two forms of the camp (wartime camps and “work”-time camps) is to understand the seamlessness with which the more visible sovereign violence of the camp has long intersected with a more dispersed, biopolitical mode of state- and market-sanctioned violence. This historical case study problematizes the contemporary distinction between “state killing” and the more amorphous condition of “letting die”—a distinction L.

At a critical moment Mr John Fotheringham's intervention proved decisive. And how can I forget the kindness with which Dr Killie Campbell gave me the freedom of her rich library of Africana at Durban for three months, and the helpfulness of her staff, especially Miss Mignon Herring. The Johannesburg Public Library gave me unstinted help, for which I am particularly indebted to Miss J. Ogilvie of the Africana section and her assistants. Professor A.

  • Coal Capital: the Shaping of Social Relations in the Stormberg, 1880-1910
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY COAL CAPITAL: THE SHAPING OF SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE STORMBERG, 1880-1910 PhD PAT GIBBS 330289 Supervisors: Professor Phillip Bonner Dr Noor Nieftaqodien Professor Anne Mager Port Elizabeth 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an analysis of the interaction of a variety of communities that coalesced around the coal fields in the environs of the town of Molteno in the Stormberg mountains, during the late Victorian period and the first decade of the 20th century. An influx of mining and merchant capitalists, bankers and financiers, skilled miners and artisans from overseas and Thembu labourers from across the Kei River flooded into what had been a quasi-capitalist world dominated mainly by Afrikaner stock farmers, some English farmers and Thembu and Khoi sharecroppers and labourers. It also examines the brief life-span of a coal mining enterprise, which initially held out the hope of literally fuelling South Africa’s industrial revolution, and its relationship with the economically and socially significant railway, which it drew into the area. This capitalisation of an early capitalist zone on the northern border of the Cape has demanded an analysis of the intersecting economies of mining, farming and urbanisation as well as of the race, class and ethnic formations generated by this interaction. In delineating the day-to-day minutiae of events, this thesis seeks to reveal a microcosmic view of the fortunes and identities of the associated communities and to present a distinctive, regional study of a hitherto unknown and early aspect of South Africa’s mineral revolution.

Note the man with the flag to the left of the three wheeled vehicle. 2 Editorial Our stock of articles, for publication in the Bulletin, has increased, since Bulletin was published and for the foreseeable future, we will be publishing Bulletins at monthly intervals instead of six weekly. November this year will mark the ninetieth anniversary of the running of the first Union Limited and Union Express trains and, consequently we are working on material for publication the commemorate this. We will be covering the forerunners and successors to these trains This will include the Rhodesian Railways Train De Luxe, The CSAR train of the same name, Rhodesian Railway Zambezi Express, the NGR Corridor Express and the Blue Train. Once we know how much material we have, we will decide on how we will publish it. It could take the form of a longer than usual Bulletin, or it could be published as a booklet. If you have any material about or photos of any of these trains please forward it to us. Ley Kempthorne drew our attention to this anniversary and we have stated work early so as to avoid a last minute rush.

  • And Its Effects on Colonial Public Finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-1910
    Serving God and Mammon: the ‘minerals-railway complex’ and its effects on colonial public finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-1910 ABEL GWAINDEPI Stellenbosch Economic Working Papers: WP07/2019 www.ekon.sun.ac.za/wpapers/2019/wp072019 May 2019 KEYWORDS: public finances, fiscal capacity, elite power, economic development, natural resources, African colonialism, Cape Colony JEL: H30 H41, H50, H61, N17 Laboratory for the Economics of Africa’s Past (LEAP) http://leapstellenbosch.org.za/ DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH SOUTH AFRICA A WORKING PAPER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND THE BUREAU FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH www.ekon.sun.ac.za/wpapers Serving God and Mammon: the ‘minerals-railway complex’ and its effects on colonial public finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-19101 Abel Gwaindepi2 Abstract The resource curse literature underscores the fact that extractive economies face challenges in diversifying their economies. What is less explored are the public finance challenges encountered in these economies when the extractive industries are completely owned by the private sector. Using a recently compiled dataset on public revenues, expenditures and debt, this paper explores the nexus between the privatized extractive sector operations and public finance policies of the Cape Colony between 1810 and 1910. The paper finds that despite the natural resource endowment, the Cape Colony became heavily indebted and had huge budget deficits by the time it joined the Union of South Africa in 1910. After the discovery of diamonds, competition for resource-rents caused a slowdown and in some instances reversed the progress made in consolidating state institutions.

  • Noupoort: from Steam to Wind
    Rose Willis Noupoort: From Steam to Wind Karoo Cameos Series Hosted by the Karoo Development Foundation NOUPOORT From Steam to Wind By Rose Willis [email protected] 2021 Series editor: Prof Doreen Atkinson [email protected] ROSE WILLIS is the author of The Karoo Cookbook (2008), as well as the monthly e-journal Rose’s Round-up. She co-authored Yeomen of the Karoo: The Story of the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital at Deelfontein, with Arnold van Dyk and Kay de Villiers (2016). 1 Rose Willis is the author of The Karoo Cookbook (Ryno Struik Publishers, 2008), and the e-journal Rose’s Roundup. She co-authored Yeomen of the Karoo: The Story of the Imperial Rose Willis Noupoort: From Steam to Wind Noupoort is somewhat different to most little Karoo towns. The village, which was not started by the church, mushroomed around a railway station. It played a very important role in the Anglo-Boer War. Noupoort is situated 54km south of Colesberg and 45km north of Middelburg. It lies against a mountainous backdrop. A scenic gravel road wends its way eastwards from Noupoort, through broken hills and valleys towards the remote farmstead of Oorlogspoort, before turning south towards the railway village of Rosmead on the R56 which links Middelburg and Steynsburg. There is also a well-engineered pass that connects Noupoort to Middelburg on the N9 route. With fairly easy gradients, the 7km long road affords views of stunning Karoo landscape and a drive through here is well worth the effort. This is Carlton Pass, and it takes its name from the large mountain to the south of Noupoort, known as Carlton Hills.

  • Railways in the British Cape Colony
    “FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT” RAILWAYS IN THE BRITISH CAPE COLONY African economic history working paper series No. 30/2016 Alfonso Herranz-Loncán, University of Barcelona [email protected] Johan Fourie, Stellenbosch University [email protected] ISBN 978-91-981477-9-7 AEHN working papers are circulated for discussion and comment purposes.

The African Economic History Network is funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, Sweden 1 1 “For the public benefit”? Railways in the British Cape Colony ALFONSO HERRANZ-LONCÁN2 AND JOHAN FOURIE3 Built mostly to support the early mining industry, the Cape Colony’s railways reduced the cost of transport to the interior and increased labor productivity in the Colony from 1859 to 1905 by, we calculate, 30 percent. Little of the gains went to the state-owned company: the Cape parliament seems always to have seen the railways as a means to development. But the politically overrepresented western parts of the Colony gained much more than underrepresented areas like Basutoland or the Transkei. While boosting the economy, the railways also had distributional effects, with consequences for racial segregation in twentieth- century South Africa.

Hulle het verskie buiteposte in die Laeveld beman en moes toesien dat die Boere nie kontak maak met goedgesinde inwoners in Mosambiek nie. Die terrein by Ngotsomond is een van verskeie wat tydens ‘n opname van terreine wat met die Steinaecker’s Horse militêre eenheid verband hou, geïdentifiseer is. Historiese inligting dui daarop dat dit niks meer as ‘n tydelike kampterrein van die eenheid was nie. Dit is bekend dat daar ook Ystertydperkbewoners in die omgewing van hierdie buitepos teenwoordig was. Die terrein is opgegrawe met die doel om meer oor Steinaecker’s Horse vas te stel, maar in die proses is sommige van die reste van die Ystertydperbewoning ook hanteer omdat dit waarskynlik saam in die argeologiese rekord voorkom. Die navorsing het voorts ten doel om die kulturele materiaal wat opgegrawe is met die materiaal, wat by ander buiteposte van die eenheid gevind is, te vergelyk.
