St Mark's the Evangelist Athlone Celebrates Its 115Th Anniversary The official newsletter of the Diocese of Cape Town (Anglican Church of Southern Africa ACSA) St Mark’s the Evangelist Athlone celebrates its 115th anniversary PAGE 3 Bernard Mizeki 120th anniversary PAGES 4&5 From the Bishop’s Desk We thank the Lord for all His blessings bestowed upon our parish over the years. St Mark’s has always been regarded as the ‘Mother Church’ in the Athlone area giving ‘birth’ to St George’s Silvertown; St John’s Belgravia and Holy Nativity, Hazendal. Our Patronal week started on Sunday 17th April 2016 and we were privileged to have had Canon Allan Dennis, a son of the parish as our Celebrant and Preacher. It was his first time in 37 years since last being in the parish. It was therefore a great honour to have had him and his wife Jenny present with us. PAGE 6 Candle Light The Monday following we had worship done by the parish organiza- Memorial tions. The Tuesday we had a Healing service. The Wednesday, we had the choir from Church of the Resurrection, Bonteheuwel who focussed on sacred music and it was a memorable occasion of ‘heavenly voices’. From the Thursday the preparations for our Flower festival started and we officially opened on Friday morning with the theme ‘ Fruits of the Spirit’ which livened the church with the most beautiful arrangements. On Sunday 24th April, we had another daughter of the parish, the Revd Canon Cheryl Bird as our Celebrant and Preacher. We thank God for his blessings and for the passion and commitment of all the parishioners who live out the true values of the Gospel in this part of His vineyard within the Diocese of Cape Town.

    1 Ismail Jamie LRC Oral History Project 19th August 2008 Int This is an interview with Advocate Ismail Jamie and its Tuesday the 19th of August (2008). Ismail, on behalf of the SALS Foundation in the United States, we really want to thank you for agreeing to participate in the LRC Oral History Project. IJ Pleasure. Int I was wondering whether we could start the interview…if you could talk about your early childhood memories growing up in South Africa under apartheid, and where you think your sense of social justice and injustice developed? IJ Ok, you’re asking me, sort of, to cast my mind back fairly long ago, given my advanced age. Int (Laughs). IJ We lived in a fairly middle-class family that to my recollection, or in my recollection, had not been directly affected in my own lifetime, by apartheid, as such, by things like removals, etc. Later on, as I became older, I realised there was obviously history which explained why we lived where we lived, which was in the Cape...on the Cape Flats and not in District Six or Bo-Kaap or where my family had come from; or Mowbray, in my father’s case. But my family was very apolitical and in fact was a staunch Muslim family with everything that that entailed, which is, you obey the laws of the country and, you know, get on with your life. So, politics was never an issue in our family. My own political awareness and sense of social justice came about when I was 14 and the 1976 disturbances, or riots, as we call them, broke out, obviously in June 1976.

  • Report on the 2016 SAIIA Interschool Quiz on International Affairs
    Report on the 2016 SAIIA Interschool Quiz on International Affairs SUMMARY OF QUIZ 2016 ‘The challenge is great. The kids learn so much. It’s a game changer.’ Teacher, Glendale Secondary. We believe this statement by one of the teachers working with the quiz team from her school sums up the impact of the SAIIA Interschool Quiz. For so many, it is a game changer, a point that opens up the world to young minds, and young minds to the world. With this in mind, the SAIIA Western Cape Quiz Committee set about planning the 24th SAIIA interschool Quiz on International Affairs. Begun in 1993, the quiz is designed to draw learners of all backgrounds from among the schools in the Western Cape into reading world news, and especially news and analysis about South Africa’s international affairs. Invitations go out annually to a wide range of schools and, except for several reserved spots for new or developing schools, respondents are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For a seventh year running, a pre-quiz workshop gave less-resourced schools, and especially schools who did not fare well in the previous year, an opportunity to receive coaching on gleaning information from the papers and practise for the quiz through a ‘mini-quiz’, as well as an introduction to the world of international affairs. Romy Chevallier, a senior researcher in SAIIA’s Governance of Africa’s Resources Programme based in Cape Town, led the workshop on 5 March at the Diocesan School for Boys (Bishops). Thirteen schools took part in total.

  • Speaking About Building Rylands (1960S to 1980S): a Cape Flats History
    Dhupelia-Mesthrie, U. (2014). Speaking about building Rylands (1960s to 1980s): a Cape Flats history. Social Dynamics, 40(2): 353-370. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02533952.2014.932174 Speaking about building Rylands (1960s to 1980s): a Cape Flats history Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Abstract This article draws on oral histories of Rylands, a former Indian group area on the Cape Flats. It shifts focus from narratives of dispossession to narratives of the making of a relocation site. The Cape Flats has generally been represented as a place of poverty, crime and hopelessness and existing on the “fringe” of the city. This article seeks to complicate our understandings and imaginings of the Cape Flats by focusing on Rylands. In its focus on the middle class, it argues that they transformed their physical surroundings. Spaces in Rylands, built by Indian capital, also offered the Cape Flats useful resources. As an apartheid-designated space, Rylands had a significant role in the entrenching of Indianness leading to energised cultural and religious activity with temples and mosques becoming the centre for residents. There were competing visions for Rylands; some dallied with apartheid governance structures but, by the 1980s, the non-racial ethos dominated and for youth this place became their centre. Introduction The Cape Flats is an extensive area east of the Southern Suburbs railway line (more particularly, east of the Cape Flats line) and south of the Northern Suburbs railway line (Field 2001, 25). Within it is located Rylands, a former group area proclaimed for Indians in 1957 (Figure 1). Pre-group areas, the Cape Flats represented a frontier zone where, amidst much undeveloped land, people of all races were scattered.
