Dit lees as volg: "The dwelling house was 50 x 30 built of galvanized iron, bucklined, ceilio boarded floors..." Het enigiemand dalk 'n idee wat die terme "bucklined" en "ceilio boarded floors" beteken. Dankie, Ina Penberthy vanaf 'n witgerypte Seattle Boodskap 2.

  • Die Geskiedenis Van Die Afrikaner in Rhodesië (1890 – 1980)
    DIE GESKIEDENIS VAN DIE AFRIKANER IN RHODESIË (1890 – 1980) deur Gustav Hendrich Proefskrif ingelewer vir die graad Doktor in die Wysbegeerte (Geskiedenis) aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch Promotor: Dr. W.P. Visser Fakulteit Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe Departement Geskiedenis Desember 2010 Verklaring Deur hierdie proefskrif elektronies in te lewer, verklaar ek dat die geheel van die werk hierin vervat, my eie, oorspronklike werk is, dat ek die outeursregeienaar daarvan is (behalwe tot die mate uitdruklik anders aangedui) en dat ek dit nie vantevore, in die geheel of gedeeltelik, ter verkryging van enige kwalifikasie ingedien het nie. Datum:……………………………………… Kopiereg © 2010 Universiteit van Stellenbosch Alle regte voorbehou OPSOMMING Die bespreking van die geskiedenis van die Afrikaners as blanke minderheid in Rhodesië is ʼn doelbewuste poging om die teenwoordigheid en wesenlike bydraes van hierdie bepaalde bevolkingsgroep histories te ondersoek. In metodologiese terme ressorteer hierdie studie binne die raamwerk van diaspora- en migrasiestudies, volksverskuiwing en die dinamika van minderhede woonagtig in ʼn gasheerstaat. Sedert 1890 het Afrikaners vanuit Suid-Afrika, merendeels weens die soeke na verbeterde lewensomstandighede en werksgeleenthede, geleidelik hul weg na die gebied noord van die Limpoporivier gevind. Die georganiseerde en individuele Afrikaner-trekke en die sporadiese verhuising van Afrikaner-immigrante na Rhodesië sou die fondamente van ʼn selfonderhoudende, dog geografies wydverspreide bevolkingsgroep lê. Afrikaners sou op feitlik alle lewensterreine en in die verskaffing van noodsaaklike arbeidsdienste deelneem. Aangesien die Afrikaners in hoofsaak ʼn landelike bevolking verteenwoordig het, het hulle goed vertroud geraak met die boerderypraktyk en -omgewing. Die Afrikaner-boere sou oorwegend met verloop van tyd ʼn bydraende ontwikkelingsrol in die algehele Rhodesiese landboubedryf en ekonomie vervul.
