  • Gender, Power and Iron Metallurgy in Archives of African Societies from the Phongolo-Mzimkhulu Region
    Gender, power and iron metallurgy in archives of African societies from the Phongolo-Mzimkhulu region Steven Kotze A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements of Master of Arts. Durban, 2018 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own, unaided work unless otherwise acknowledged. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other university. Steven Kotze 15 July 2018 i Abstract This dissertation examines the social, cultural and economic significance of locally forged field-hoes, known as amageja in Zulu. A key question I have engaged in this study is whether gender-based divisions of labour in nineteenth-century African communities of this region, which largely consigned agricultural work to women, also affect attitudes towards the tools they used. I argue that examples of field-hoes held in eight museum collections form an important but neglected archive of “hoeculture”, the form of subsistence crop cultivation based on the use of manual implements, within the Phongolo-Mzimkhulu geographic region that roughly approximates to the modern territory of KwaZulu-Natal. In response to observations made by Maggs (1991), namely that a disparity exists in the numbers of field- hoes collected by museums in comparison with weapons, I conducted research to establish the present numbers of amageja in these museums, relative to spears in the respective collections. The dissertation assesses the historical context that these metallurgical artefacts were produced in prior to the twentieth-century and documents views on iron production, spears and hoes or agriculture recorded in oral testimony from African sources, as well as Zulu-language idioms that make reference to hoes.

    AWG Champion, Zulu Nationalism and ‘Separate Development’ in South Africa, 1965 - 1975. by WONGA FUNDILE TABATA submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF GC CUTHBERTSON JOINT SUPERVISOR: PROF J LAMBERT NOVEMBER 2006 Abstract This is a historical study of AWG Champion, the former leader of the Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union (ICU) and provincial President of the African National Congress, in the politics of Zululand and Natal from 1965 to 1975. The study examines the introduction of the Zulu homeland and how different political forces in that region of South Africa responded to the idea of a Zulu homeland during the period under review. It also deals with Champion’s political alienation from the ANC. This dissertation is also a study of the development of Zulu ethnic nationalism within the structures of apartheid or separate development, the homelands. Issues running throughout the study are the questions of how and why Champion tried and failed to manipulate ‘separate development’ in order to build a Zulu ethnic political base. Key words: A.W.G. Champion, Zulu Nationalism, ‘Separate Development’, apartheid, African National Congress, trade unions, Black Consciousness. iii Declaration I declare that AWG Champion, Zulu Nationalism and ‘Separate Development’ in South Africa, 1965-1975 is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of completed references. ________________________________ __________________ Mr W F Tabata Date iv Dedication To my parents, the late Kolisile Boyce Tabata and Nellie Nikiwe Tabata And all my brothers and only sister, Kayakazi “Mela” My wife, Nomathamsanqa and children With sincere thanks For their love and encouragement During the writing of this dissertation Not forgetting my Grandmother, The late Beatrice “Gelikha” Tabata, “iBhelekazi” Whose love for education served as an inspiration and her spirit guided me through the writing process of this dissertation.

  • Battlefield Tourism in South Africa with Special Reference to Isandlwana and Rorke’S Drift Kwazulu-Natal
    University of Pretoria etd – Moeller M (2006) - Battlefield Tourism in South Africa with Special Reference to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift KwaZulu-Natal - by Maricki Moeller 24326063 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree M Phil Tourism Management in the FACULTY OF ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Study leader: (Dr. F. A. Fairer - Wessels) Date of submission October 2005 University of Pretoria etd – Moeller M (2006) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Battlefield Tourism in South Africa is an increasingly important tourism product in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Rising visitor numbers to the famous Anglo-Zulu battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift over the past ten years have created certain challenges to the management of the area. Thanatourism is a form of Cultural Heritage Tourism that comprises visits to battlefields. Thanatourism sites often attempt to interpret sensitive events of the past. This requires management skills different to those needed by other heritage attractions. One of the issues faced by management is dissonance in heritage, which refers to dilemmas associated with reconciling the interests of rival groups with separate stakes in the development of controversial sites. This study attempts to investigate the level of dissonance present at the battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift and to identify ways of reducing it. A qualitative approach was applied to capture the different opinions of four major stakeholder groups as present in Seaton’s Force Field Model (2001): the subject groups (Zulu and British), visitor groups, owners/controllers of heritage and the host community. An ethnographic investigation combined with an analysis of the tourism situation on the battlefields revealed that the levels of dissonance between the stakeholders are much lower than expected.

One of the provisions of this new constitution was that heritage was to be a concurrent function - to be administered by province if it wished. The two heritage agencies operating in KwaZulu Natal - The National Monuments Council and the KwaZulu Monuments Council worked in co-operation to produce South Africa's first provincial heritage legislation, which went on to become the framework for national legislation. The KwaZulu Natal Heritage Act was promulgated in 1997 and made provision for the establishment of a statutory body (Public Entity) to administer the province's heritage. In 2008, this Act was repealed, replaced by the KZN Heritage Act (Act 4 of 2008). Mgungundlovu Reconstruction: Site of King Dingane’s royal residence HERITAGE RESOURCES The legislation defines various categories of heritage resources: 1. Places, buildings and structures of cultural significance 2. Historic settlements and townscapes 3. Buildings older than 60 years 4. Historic graves and ancestral burial grounds. 5. Places associated with oral tradition and living heritage 6. Archaeological and paleontological sites 7.
