  • Living History – the Story of Adderley Street's Flower
    LIVING HISTORY – THE STORY OF ADDERLEY STREET’S FLOWER SELLERS Lizette Rabe Department of Journalism, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7602 Lewende geskiedenis – die verhaal van Adderleystraat se blommeverkopers Kaapstad is waarskynlik sinoniem met Tafelberg. Maar een van die letterlik kleurryke tonele aan die voet van dié berg is waarskynlik eweneens sinoniem met die stad: Adderleystraat se “beroemde” blommeverkopers. Tog word hulle al minder, hoewel hulle deel van Kaapstad se lewende geskiedenis is en letterlik tot die Moederstad se kleurryke lewe bygedra het en ’n toerismebaken is. Waar kom hulle vandaan, en belangrik, wat is hulle toekoms? Dié beskrywende artikel binne die paradigma van mikrogeskiedenis is sover bekend ’n eerste sosiaal-wetenskaplike verkenning van die geskiedenis van dié unieke groep Kapenaars, die oorsprong van die blommemark en sy kleurryke blommenalatenskap. Sleutelwoorde: Adderleystraat; blommemark; blommeverkopers; Kaapstad; kultuurgeskiedenis; snyblomme; toerisme; veldblomme. Cape Town is probably synonymous with Table Mountain. But one of the colourful scenes at the foot of the mountain may also be described as synonymous with the city: Adderley Street’s “famous” fl ower market. Yet, although the fl ower sellers are part of Cape Town’s living history, a beacon for tourists, and literally contributes to the Mother City’s vibrant and colourful life, they represent a dying breed. Where do they come from, and more importantly, what is their future? This descriptive article within the paradigm of microhistory is, thus far known, a fi rst social scientifi c exploration of the history of this unique group of Capetonians, the origins of the fl ower market, and its fl ower legacy.

MEMORIES OF JOHANNESBURG, CITY OF GOLD Written and Compiled By © ANNE LAPEDUS BREST 4th February 2009, Morningside, Sandton, S.Africa On the 4th February 1961, when I was 14 years old, and my brother Robert was 11, our family came to live in Jhb. We had left Ireland, land of our birth, leaving behind our beloved Grandparents, family, friends, and a very special and never-to-be-forgotten little furry friend, to start a new life in South Africa, land of Sunshine and Golden opportunity…………… The Goldeneh Medina…... We came out on the “Edinburgh Castle”, arriving Cape Town 2nd Feb 1961. We did a day tour of Chapmans Peak Drive, Muizenberg, went to somewhere called the “Red Sails” and visited our Sakinofsky/Yodaiken family in Tamboerskloof. We arrived at Park Station (4th Feb 1961), Jhb, hot and dishevelled after a nightmarish train ride, breaking down in De Aar and dying of heat.

    The National Committee for The National Committee for Liberation ("ARM"), 1960- 1964 Sabotage and the Question of the Ideological Subject Andries du Toit Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in History at the University of Cape Town For my Parents "All of us are living and thinking subjects. What I react against is the fact that there is a breach between social history and the history of ideas. Social historians are supposed to describe how people act without thinking, and historians of ideas are supposed to describe how people think without acting. Everybody both thinks and acts." Michel Foucault "To articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it 'the way it really was' (Ranke). It means to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger." Walter Benjamin Abstract Title The National Committee for Liberation ("ARM") 1960 - 1964: sabotage and the question of the ideological subject. Subject Matter The dissertation gives an account of the history of the National Committee for Liberation (NCL), an anti- apartheid sabotage organisation that existed between 1960 and 1964. The study is aimed both at narrating its growth and development in the context of South Africa in the 1950s and 1960s, and explaining its strategic and political choices. In particular, the reasons for its isolation from the broader struggle against Apartheid and its inability to transcend this isolation are investigated. Sources Discussion of the context of the NCL's development depended on secondary historical works by scholars such as Tom Lodge, Paul Rich, C.

    BLACK CONSUMERS’ SHO PPING PATRONAGE AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE RIVERSIDE MALL’S ATTRACTIVENESS by ANNEMARIE BREYTENBACH Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the D Com in Marketing Management in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA STUDY LEADER: DR M WIESE PROF EJ NORTH JUNE 2014 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards the following people without whom this doctoral thesis would not have been possible. • Our Lord Jesus for giving me the ability and opportunity to follow my dreams. • My promoters, Dr Melanie Wiese and Prof Ernest North for their support, guidance, advice, motivation and friendship. • Dr Mike van der Linde and Marien Graham for the statistical support and guidance. • My husband Daan, for the sacrifices he made, his moral support, encouragement and love throughout this study. • My family, friends and colleagues for their continuous interest in me and for their support and encouragement. ii ABSTRACT BLACK CONSUMERS’ SHOPPING PATRONAGE AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE RIVERSIDE MALL’S ATTRACTIVENESS The shopping centre industry is booming and shopping centres are built and planned in areas where previously there were no formal shopping opportunities. The profile of the typical South African shopper or consumer has changed from the traditional white affluent consumer to a diverse mix of heterogeneous cultures and nationalities and saw exponential growth in the spending power of the black middle class consumer. The focus of the study was to investigate consumers’ shopping centre behaviours, with specific reference to the attractiveness of the shopping centre, travel distance, patronage frequency and transportation used.

    IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA [TRANSVAAL PROVINCIAL DIVISION] NOT REPORTABLE CASE NUMBER: 4720/2007 In the matter between: 31 JANUARY 2008 FIRST APPLICANT SALT OF THE EARTH CREATIONS [PTY] LTD SECOND APPLICANT KINGSGATE CLOTHING [PTY] LTD PAUL VIVALDI FASHIONS [PTY] LTD THIRD APPLICANT and FIRST RESPONDENT STUTTAFORDS STORES [PTY] LTD STUTTAFORDS INTERNATIONAL FASHION CO [PTY] LTD SECOND RESPONDENT THE GAP, INC THIRD RESPONDENT GAP [APPAREL] LLC FOURTH RESPONDENT GAP [ITM], INC FIFTH RESPONDENT JUDGMEN T MAKGOKA AJ 2 [1] Before Court are various interlocutory applications, which flow from an urgent application brought on 2 February 2007 by the First to Third Applicants against the First and Second Respondents, for an interim interdict based on passing off. The Third to Fifth Respondents were granted leave to join the application. For the sake of convenience, in this judgment the parties would respectively be referred to as follows: The Applicants ["Salt"], and the Respondents ["Stuttafords and the Gap"]. [2] The dispute between the ultimate adversaries, namely the First Applicant and the Gap, concerns the proprietorship of the trade mark GAP in South Africa, which dispute has in essence traversed almost a decade in our courts. The present litigation between the parties was foreshadowed by the Supreme Court of Appeal in AM Moola Group Ltd and Others v The Gap Inc and Others 2005 [6] SA 568 [SCA] at 591 D - E when Harms JA stated: "I am conscious of the fact the result may satisfy neither party because their respective ability to prevent the other from using GAP marks in this country hangs in the air and further litigation may be on the cards".
