Robben Island WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 916.pdf UNESCO Region: AFRICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Robben Island DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 4th December 1999 STATE PARTY: SOUTH AFRICA CRITERIA: C (iii)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 23rd Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed this property on the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (iii) and (vi): Criterion (iii): The buildings of Robben Island bear eloquent witness to its sombre history. Criterion (vi): Robben Island and its prison buildings symbolize the triumph of the human spirit, of freedom, and of democracy over oppression. Many members of the Committee expressed their pleasure and emotion and congratulated South Africa for having proposed this site which symbolizes the fight against oppression, the victory of democracy as well as the process of national reconciliation. Over and over again the members of the Committee paid homage to the vision of President Mandela. The Delegate of Thailand considered that criterion (vi) could be amended during the session so that the inscription of the site would be possible only under this criterion. The Committee took note of the need to discuss the amendments that could be proposed under criterion (vi). The Chairperson expressed satisfaction with this inscription and considered that this decision has been taken on the African ground was an honour for Morocco. The Delegate of South Africa expressed her appreciation for the Committee’s decision (see Annex VII to this report). BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Robben Island was used at various times between the 17th and the 20th century as a prison, a hospital for socially unacceptable groups, and a military base. Its buildings, and in particular those of the late 20th century, such as the maximum security prison for political prisoners, bear witness to the triumph of democracy and freedom over oppression and racialism. 1.b State, Province or Region: Western Cape Province 1.d Exact location: 33°48' S, 18°22' E ROBBEN ISLAND NOMINATION FILE: WORLD HERITAGE SITE STATUS Amendment to text updated March 1999 Text amended in sections 2 a,b &c; section 3 b, c &d and Additional Appendix F 1 1.

JUSTIFICATION FOR INSCRIPTION a) Statement of Significance >Robben Island - from incarceration to liberation. From the punishment of the body to the freedom of the spirit= Robben Island is a place of great symbolic value and is directly associated with ideas, beliefs as well as events that are of eminent universal significance. With its history of banishment, imprisonment and suffering it has come to symbolise, not only for South Africans or the African continent, but also for the entire world, the miracle of the triumph of the human spirit over enormous hardship and adversity. Of the many roles that Robben Island has assumed over the past four hundred years, it primarily served as a place of banishment and isolation. Throughout documented South African history, the Island has been associated with incarceration, pain and the subjugation of the human spirit. During the periods of Dutch and English occupation of the region, the Island was used as a place of imprisonment for those who opposed colonial rule. With the early banishment of Khoisan leaders, Malaysian Muslim religious figures and Xhosa chiefs to the Island, its role as a symbol of resistance against oppression was established. The Island=s more recent ability to function as a crucible for the consolidation of the anti- apartheid movement bears further testimony to the symbolic value of the place. However, out of these conditions of extreme hardship, pain and suffering has arisen a spirit of hope and tolerance that has, in the words of President Nelson Mandela, turned this island into a world-wide icon of the universality of human rights, of hope, peace and reconciliation. Another famous prisoner, Walter Sisulu, has written > The name Robben Island is inextricably linked to the struggle against colonialism, for freedom, democracy and peace in South Africa. Robben Island=s notorious history as the place to which so-called undesirables of our society were banished.... should be turned around into a source of enlightenment and education on the dangers of myopic philosophies, social and economic practices whose primary and sole objective is the oppression of one group by another.= It is this condition of duality - of suffering and hope, of resistance and tolerance - embodied within the spirit, history and cultural landscape of Robben Island, that underscores the site=s significance and imbues it with special symbolic value. 5 Robben Island offers to a world struggling under social injustices and intolerance, the example of the indomitable nature of the human spirit. 6 b) Possible comparative analysis Robben Island has a long and comprehensive history. The earliest records either alluding to or mentioning Robben Island are dated from the late fifteenth century when Portuguese navigators first travelled around the Cape of Good Hope (known then as the Cape of Storms). Yet to be confirmed is the possibility of Stone age hunter gatherers wandering along its shores when in glacial times the island was still linked to the mainland. In the course of the seventeenth century Robben Island served as a larder or pantry for sailors passing on the long route to the East to trade in spices and slaves. Later it became a place of banishment where various highly placed persons opposed to the various colonial regimes were detained. In the nineteenth century the lepers and mentally ill were sent to Robben Island to remove them from >normal= members of society and still later the prison was established, first for common law prisoners and then for the political prisoners of the second half of the twentieth century. Comparisons between Robben Island and other sites are not easily drawn, due to the unique degree of significance described in section (a). Two approaches to the comparative analysis have been adopted: the first to compare Robben Island with other islands that have served similar purposes in the past and that have a cultural heritage that reflects the various periods of occupation (criteria iii) and secondly to compare Robben Island with other sites that have unique symbolic significance in a universal context. (Criteria vi) Devil=s Island, off the coast of French Guyana, was used by the French as a high security prison for their most infamous criminals from 1852 until 1946, a period of just under one hundred years.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

  • Institutional Pathways for Local Climate Adaptation
    [ March 2014 ] Institutional Pathways for Local Climate Adaptation: A Comparison of Three South African Municipalities Globally, many local authorities have begun developing programmes of climate change adaptation to curb existing and expected local climate impacts. Rather than being a one-off, sector-specific 18 technical fix, effective adaptation is increasingly recognised as a process of socio-institutional learning and change. While notions of governance are coming to the fore in climate change adaptation literature, the influence of local political and bureaucratic forces is not well documented or understood, particularly in developing country contexts. This research focuses on the political, institutional and social factors shaping the initiation of climate adaptation in three South African municipalities – Cape Town, Durban and Theewaterskloof – considered local leaders in addressing climate concerns. The findings show that, with little political or fiscal support, climate change adaptation currently remains in the realm of technical planning and management, where progress is contingent on the energy, efforts and agency of individuals. There is, however, some evidence that the efforts of local champions, in concert with rising global awareness of climate change and increasing impacts on the poor and the rich alike, are beginning to create a March 2014 political opportunity to make climate change a central development issue, linked to public services, markets and employment.

Robins December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The official custodian of the Cape Peninsula mountain chain, located at the centre of Cape Town, is the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). This park is South Africa’s only urban open-access park and has been declared a World Heritage Site. This thesis is an anthropological and historical examination of the past and present conservation of the Cape Peninsula . I provide an overview of the relationship between the urban environment and the Cape Peninsula aiming to illustrate the produced character of the mountains and its mediation in power relations. This study of custodianship reveals that protecting and conserving the Cape Peninsula is shaped by the politics of the urban and natural environment as well as by the experience of living in the city.
