    Construction géohistorique du KwaZulu-Natal (Afrique du Sud). Par Fabrice Folio. Le 1 septembre 2007 Le KwaZulu-Natal est communément perçu en Afrique du Sud (Harrison, 1995) comme une province dotée d’une forte identité zouloue et à degré moindre indienne1. Au 19ème siècle, elle fut par ailleurs une colonie anglaise distincte des républiques boers (d’origine hollandaise) établies sur les hautes terres centrales2. Or la réalité historique donne à voir, sur le terrain, une situation plus complexe. Ainsi, les Boers, boutés hors de cette contrée, n’ont-ils pas fini, à force d’acharnement, par lui concéder quelques traits identitaires ? Les Métis, qui composent la portion congrue des statistiques locales, sont-ils réellement insignifiants dans son histoire mouvementée ? Les Zoulous, sous l’influence de Shaka, sont-ils parvenus, au faîte de leur impérialisme, à phagocyter l’ensemble des tribus bantoues alentours ? En somme, le KwaZulu-Natal affiche-t-il stricto sensu les traits identitaires qu’on lui prête ? Une analyse diachronique de cet espace administratif (figure 1) met en relief la présence de plusieurs acteurs importants moins connus dans l’histoire officielle. Or ces derniers, après s’être âprement disputés l’espace, demeurent bel et bien présents dans celui contemporain. De plus, elle donne à voir, sur un pas de temps long, les facteurs directs et indirects qui ont induit son tracé actuel. Nous tenterons ici d’effectuer un découpage du KwaZulu-Natal sur des bases géohistoriques, nous plaçant pour ce faire sous le patronage de F. Braudel, d’Y. Lacoste et des courants systémiques menés par des géographes stimulants tels que C.

  • The New Republicans: a Centennial Reappraisal of the 'Nieuwe Republiek' (1884-1888)
    87 The New Republicans: A Centennial Reappraisal of the 'Nieuwe Republiek' (1884-1888) A coronation and a spell of duty as a royal bodyguard gave a Boer commando the justification for establishing a republic in northern Zululand a century ago. In September 1984 the town of Vryheid, established as the capital of the New Republic (the original official title was 'de Nieuwe Republiek'), celebrated its centenary. An exhibition on the place of the New Republic in the development of republicanism in South Africa was opened in the renovated and partially resto-red Raadsaal buildings (now the Nieuwe Republiek Museum) and provided a focal point for the festivities. There are many superficial differences between this Afrikaans-orientated part of northern Natal and the rest of the province, which can be traced back to the establishment of the New Republic in 1884 and its subsequent incorporation into the Transvaal in 1888. Vryheid only became part of Natal after the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) by which time its essential character as a Transvaal dorp was well and truly established. Nevertheless the underlying similarities between Vryheid's history and that of the rest of Natal far outweigh the differences. The most obvious reason for these similarities is the fact that the overwhelming majority of the population of both parts of the province is Zulu, not English or Afrikaans. The establishment of British and Afrikaot'r st' tt lements in South-eastern Africa formed part of the same process of E uropean expansion during the Victorian era. The result of this pr 0ce~<; was the dismantling of the Zulu kingdom and the incorporation of the Zulus into the broader multi-cultured industrial society that is modern South Africa.

Dennis Mutua Ndambo November 2020 iii © University of Pretoria ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My supervisors, Prof. Magnus Killander and Prof. Erika de Wet (up to 2019), deserve special recognition for their careful guidance and attention to detail.

Whereas constitutions increasingly contain more or less similar provisions on international law, the subsequent use of international law by domestic courts varies from traditional doctrinal approaches.

  • Abaqulusi of Ebaqulusini“: Who Are They? Who Were They? Nation- and State-Building in Pre-Colonial South-Eastern Africa Ben Khumalo-Seegelken
    „abaQulusi of ebaQulusini“: Who are they? Who were they? Nation- and State-building in pre-colonial South-Eastern Africa Ben Khumalo-Seegelken AbaQulusi are and were the people of the region lying roughly between the uKhahlamba mountain-range [Drakensberge], between the rivers oPhongolo, uMzinyathi and iMfolozi – the region part of which was once renamed “Nieuwe Republiek” [1848-1888], “Zuid- Afrikaansche Republiek”, the “Transvaal”, declared part of the then British colony (then named “Northern Natal”) and since 1994 part of the Province of “KwaZulu-Natal” with the towns Vryheid, Utrecht, eDumbe (=”Paulpietersburg”) and eNgotshe/eNgoje (=“Louwsburg”) as points of orientation. AbaQulusi. Who are they? Who were they? Linguists and orators name them: “Inqaba kutholwa! Isidindi somtshiki!” What would – more or less – mean: “Erheblich schwer aufzuspüren! Büschel von gewöhnlichem Gras!” „Extremely difficult to track down! Tuft of common grass!” The verb “ukuqulusa” means “remaining exposed whilst believing oneself to be under cover”; thence the praise-poem on the abaQulusi: “Bathi bacashile; kanti baqulusile!” “Sie wähnen sich im sicheren Versteck; dabei liegen sie völlig in Sicht!“ „They believe themselves under cover; they actually are but wholly exposed!” “Ostriches! Izintshe!” was the opinion of a researcher on South African history on hearing of this description. The quest for being out of reach by invaders is accurately expressed in the comparison to that peculiar bird of Southern Africa – the ostrich.
