OUTLINE HISTORY OF TOKAI (AND PORTER ESTATE) PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE “The evolving cultural landscape of Porter Estate” Predominantly derived from Harris 1997 and Aikman Malan Winter 2001. Preamble: Overall Context Pre-1652 Prehistorical and Pre-Colonial Period “The inherited cultural landscape of Porter Estate has escalated from gradual change over Early hunter-gatherers utilised the land’s natural resources, but left very little millennia towards much more rapid change over the last three hundred years and particularly impact on landscape. There are no known prehistorical archaeological sites over the last century. Each period left its mark in the form of paths, roads, planting patterns, within the precinct. Khoikhoi nomadic pastoralists utilised the Peninsula over drainage and irrigation furrows and structures ranging from terracing to walls to dams and some 2000 years, tending their flocks of cattle and sheep, and utilising fire to buildings. extend pastures, modify landscape. “The overall landscape is a complex composite of natural, cultivated and built landscape elements. It is a cultural landscape rather than a natural landscape; a landscape transformed by thousands of years of settlement history. … 1652 17th& 18thCentury: Dutch Colonial Period – Dutch East India Company (VOC) Plan of Porter Estate, 1947 (Aikman et al) In 1652 the Dutch East India Company/ VOC established a refreshment station “It also has narrative qualities, possessing a rich layering of physical evidence spanning in Table Valley.

This area, called “Buffelskraal”, was used as a cattle station by the VOC: the grazing was excellent. “It possesses a number of distinctive and inter-related precincts, which serve to clearly demonstrate or are strongly associated with its various historical roles and uses as a place for indigenous hunter-gatherers, grazing ground for herders, colonial cattle grazing station, colonial farm, forestry station and reformatory.

Tokai has evolved into a major metropolitan hub of recreation, for walkers, hikers, mountain- bikers, horse-riders etc, and is in the process of transformation to and development as the “Gateway to Table Mountain National Park”. Towards the end of the 19th Century many farmers in the Cape were in a state of economic ruin due to the epidemic vine disease phylloxera, which decimated the productive vineyards, as well as severe drought, labour difficulties, the removal of preferential wine exports, and widespread Environmental, Ecological economic depression. Many farms were sold or subdivided; the Cape Colonial Government bought up some. Tokai 1895 (SA Views, SA Library) The core Tokai settlement is superbly located at the base of the easterly-facing steeper slopes of the Constantiaberg, on a slight promontory between two perennial streams. The imposing formal composition of the homestead complex is enhanced by the axial approach along the tree-lined 1883 British Colonial Period – Forestry and Philanthropy avenue; the axis aligns on the peak of the towering Constantiaberg. Tokai Estate was one of the first farms procured by the Cape Government in 1883, utilising funds from the William Porter bequest.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.
