  • The Cassinga Massacre of Namibian Exiles in 1978 and the Conflicts Between Survivors’ Memories and Testimonies
    ENDURING SUFFERING: THE CASSINGA MASSACRE OF NAMIBIAN EXILES IN 1978 AND THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN SURVIVORS’ MEMORIES AND TESTIMONIES BY VILHO AMUKWAYA SHIGWEDHA A Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History University of the Western Cape December 2011 Supervisor: Professor Patricia Hayes ABSTRACT During the peak of apartheid, the South African Defence Force (SADF) killed close to a thousand Namibian exiles at Cassinga in southern Angola. This happened on May 4 1978. In recent years, Namibia commemorates this day, nationwide, in remembrance of those killed and disappeared following the Cassinga attack. During each Cassinga anniversary, survivors are modelled into „living testimonies‟ of the Cassinga massacre. Customarily, at every occasion marking this event, a survivor is delegated to unpack, on behalf of other survivors, „memories of Cassinga‟ so that the inexperienced audience understands what happened on that day. Besides survivors‟ testimonies, edited video footage showing, among others, wrecks in the camp, wounded victims laying in hospital beds, an open mass grave with dead bodies, SADF paratroopers purportedly marching in Cassinga is also screened for the audience to witness the agony of that day. Interestingly, the way such presentations are constructed draw challenging questions. For example, how can the visual and oral presentations of the Cassinga violence epitomize actual memories of the Cassinga massacre? How is it possible that such presentations can generate a sense of remembrance against forgetfulness of those who did not experience that traumatic event? When I interviewed a number of survivors (2007 - 2010), they saw no analogy between testimony (visual or oral) and memory. They argued that memory unlike testimony is personal (solid, inexplicable and indescribable).

  • App-001723 Operations of Van Dyk Petroleum's Diesel
    APP-001723 OPERATIONS OF VAN DYK PETROLEUM’S DIESEL WHOLESALE FACILITY, GROOTFONTEIN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Assessed by: Assessed for: Aug 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Van Dyk Petroleum CC requested Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) Ltd to prepare an environmental management plan (EMP) for their existing diesel wholesale facility on erf 242, Maroela Street, Grootfontein. The facility operates under a wholesale licence issued by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and supplies diesel to farmers and businesses in the area. For this purposes, one aboveground 23 m3 steel tank, with concrete bunding, is present on site. Two small tanker trucks of the Proponent collects diesel from the tank for transport to clients. The tank in turn is filled with a large tanker truck, from a bulk fuel storage facility, as needed. Van Dyk Petroleum is also contracted by other members of the petroleum industry to transport fuel from the bulk fuel storage facilities in Walvis Bay, to various storage and retail facilities in northern Namibia. For this purpose the Proponent has a fleet of tanker trucks consisting of 17 trucks and 16 fuel tankers. The Proponent services his truck fleet on the premises when required. Used mineral oil, drained from vehicles being serviced, is stored on site and periodically collected by authorized third party contractors. An additional three aboveground 23 m3 steel tanks, also inside suitable concrete bunding, are present on site. These were originally used as storage of contaminated fuel, but are now empty and no longer in use. Potential environmental impacts and associated social impacts were identified and preventative / enhancement and mitigation measures are provided in the form of an EMP in this report.

  • Flags, Funerals and Fanfares: Herer O and Missionary Contestations Ofthe Acceptable, 1900-1940 *
    Journal ofAfrican Cultural Studies, Volume 15, Number l, June 2002 Carfax Publishing Taylor & Franc« Group Flags, funerals and fanfares: Herer o and missionary contestations ofthe acceptable, 1900-1940 * JAN-BART GEWALD (Institute for African Studies, University of Cologne) ABSTRACT The article describes the contested relationship that existed between Herero people and German missionaries in Namibia between 1900 and 1940. 1t is argued that Herero converted to mission Christianity with specific aims and intentions, which were not necessarily the same as those envisaged or intended by German missionaries. The article highlights leisure time, commemorative activities and funerals, and indicates that Herero acquired specific forms of music, dress, comportment, and behaviour from German missionaries. Once these specific forms were acquired they were often transformed and brought to the f ore in ways that were considered unacceptable by the missionaries and settler society in general. The article shows that apart from race there was little difference in the intentions and activities of Herero and German settlers, both ofwhom sought to influence the same'colonial administration. In conclusion it is argued that, in the last resort, what was ofprimary importance in the colonial setting of Namibia between 1900 and 1940 was the issue of race. On a wintry Sunday morning in 1927, a missionary working in the small settlement of Otjimbingwe in Namibia found his early-morning devotional ministrations rudely disturbed by the stridently noisy arrival of a football team from the neighbouring town of Karibib. Borne on trucks bearing flags in the 'colours of the Ethiopian freedom movement' and singing songs, the young men and their supporters began a boisterous day of competition, and ensured that the missionary had but a paltry few church attendants.

Numerous studies have shown that ore formation in Mississippi Valley-type deposits. bears a close relationship with carbonate diagenesis and basin evolution. The application of isotope (Sr , 0, C) techniques as regards to timing and mechanisms of ore-forming processes, as a possible tool in exploration. is especially emphasized in this study. Detailed petrographic and isotope-geochemical investigations were carried out in the Late Precambrian deposits of Berg Aukas. situated just north of the town of Grootfontein. in addition to the Odin Prospect situated to the east of Kombat Mine.

  • The Saga of South African Pows in Angola, 1975-82
    102 THE SAGA OF SOUTH AFRICAN POWS IN ANGOLA, 1975–82 Gary Baines History Department, Rhodes University Abstract This article narrates the story of nine soldiers captured during and shortly after Operation Savannah, the codename for the South African Defence Force invasion of Angola in 1975–6. Eight of these soldiers were captured in Angola in three separate incidents by Angolan and/or Cuban forces, whereas the last was abducted from northern Namibia by SWAPO (the South West Africa Peoples’ Organisation). The article then provides a chronological account of the sequels to this story that interweaves a number of threads: first, the account relates the South African government’s attempts to suppress press coverage of these stories for fear of the political ‘fall-out’ that the matter might cause amongst the white electorate and in case it jeopardised secret negotiations to secure the release of the prisoners; and second, it uncovers the role played by intermediaries, especially the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in the sensitive and fraught negotiation process. It will be shown that the South African authorities adopted divergent approaches when dealing with SWAPO and the Angolans/Cubans to secure the release of prisoners of war (POWs). This is because the South African authorities regarded the former as involved in an internal insurrection whereas the latter were members of the military forces of sovereign states. Accordingly, they paid lip service to the Geneva Conventions in the case of Angolan and Cuban POWs but treated captured SWAPO cadres as ‘terrorists’ or ‘criminals’. Introduction Military and diplomatic historians have paid scant attention to the stories of South African Defence Force (SADF) soldiers captured during the war waged in Namibia/Angola.1 Those captured during Operation Savannah (1975–6) warrant a passing mention in a few texts,2 and are Scientia Militaria, South African alluded to in a recently produced documentary Journal of Military Studies, Vol video series.3 Still, the details of their 29 40, Nr 2, 2012, pp.
