It is about 150 kilometres north of Oshakati. The town was established in the early 1970s by the South West Africa Water and Electricity Commission, to provide accommodation for the Ruacana Hydropower station staff. Having been established without forced removals, Ruacana was an ideal ‘apartheid town’ as only ‘white’ staff lived in the wall-fenced –off town. The ‘black’ staff, soldiers as well as those that provided services in the town, were accommodated in a nearby township known as Oshifo, A few years later, the South African colonial government established one of its largest army bases in Owambo ‘district’ to safeguard the hydropower station from possible guerrilla attacks. However, the town is rarely documented in academic or even South African colonial government publications. It is rather the hydropower complex that is well documented, where Ruacana is represented through its projects of modernization. Also, other than claims to natural heritage and a heritage of ethnicity, Ruacana town lacks formal invocations of heritage. Thus it is argued that Ruacana points to a different pattern of heritage production, as the future itself was planned as heritage. This study is an attempt to analyse how Ruacana became a place of a heritage of development, even though heritage is not formally acknowledged in the institutional structures. iii DECLARATION I, Nehoa Hilma Kapuka, declare that ‘The making of Ruacana as place and its construction as future heritage’ is my own work, that it has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Nehoa Hilma Kapuka November 2014 Signed:......................................... iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the presence of the almighty God for wisdom and strength. Undertaking this study has been a truly learning experience for me and it would not have been possible to complete without the support from the following people and institutions. I would like to express my unreserved and sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Leslie Witz for his unwavering help and support. I have been fortunate to have a supervisor who gave me the freedom to explore on my own and at the same time the guidance to recover when my steps faltered. Professor Witz taught me how to question thoughts and express ideas. His patience and support helped me overcome many crisis situations and complete this thesis. My deepest appreciation goes to the Carl Schlettwein Foundation for funding my studies during the two year period. I am equally thankful to Professor Patricia Hayes, for successfully facilitating the acquisition of the scholarship from the foundation. Also, I gratefully acknowledge the funding I received for my fieldwork in Pretoria from the History Department of the University of Western Cape. I especially acknowledge the help and support of my lecturers, and colleagues in the History Department for conditioning us to think beyond the norms and break traditions. It is through such conditions that my thesis was moulded. I am indebted to Mr Werner Hillebrecht of the National Archives of Namibia and his entire team for pointing out materials which became core to my research. Equally I want to express v my gratitude to the Namibian Scientific Society, South African National Archives in both Cape Town and Pretoria for their assistance with my research. Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the help, support, love and patience from my family. I warmly thank and appreciate my parents for their material and spiritual support in all aspects of my life. My brothers and sisters, Rauna Shiweda, Otto, Jackson, Josefina, Hertha and Ndinelago Kapuka, for caring for Tulino and Hadula at times when books had be prioritised. I am equally grateful to my friends Zekhaya Gxotelwa and Busiswa Mofu, for opening their home to me and their incredibly warm hospitality in Cape Town. I want to express my great appreciation to Loide Shipingana and George Agbo for your excellent technical assistance. I am thankful to Iria Iitembu, Lahya Bensley-Haitembu Ndahafa and Dorothea Shiningayamwe for words of encouragement. Finally, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Erastus Kautondokwa who has been by my side, and my anchor and source of encouragement to complete my study. This mini-thesis is dedicated to my two children Tulino and Hadula who have been my inspiration throughout this journey. vi INTRODUCTION The selection of Ruacana as a focus for this mini-thesis was motivated by different factors. Firstly, I grew up in the vicinity of Ruacana where the sight of tourists, visiting both the majestic Ruacana waterfalls and the hydropower station was a norm. Ruacana is a tourist destination for both local and international tourists. It is a favourite site for families and friends, especially during festive seasons. A residency in Ruacana is an inhabitation of a space with tourists and Himba communities, and thus regarded as a privilege by some Namibians, as Ruacana is deemed to be an exotic place. If one questions why Ruacana is regarded as ‘a place to be’,1 a response is directed to highlight the scenery or ‘natural beauty’ of the area, the waterfall, the river, the beautiful town as well as the hydropower dam.2 . I figured that these admirations have their origins in the past. Then, as a history student, I wanted to learn more on the history of my area. I wanted to know about the travelling histories and historical narratives on the development of Ruacana hydropower scheme. But there never seemed to be much literature to help me answer these questions. In 2011, I joined the African Programme in Museum and Heritage Studies, where I was exposed to different ways of thinking and analysing the past. It

  • Independence, Intervention, and Internationalism Angola and the International System, 1974–1975
    Independence, Intervention, and Internationalism Angola and the International System, 1974–1975 ✣ Candace Sobers Mention the Cold War and thoughts instinctively turn to Moscow, Washing- ton, DC, and Beijing. Fewer scholars examine the significant Cold War strug- gles that took place in the African cities of Luanda, Kinshasa, and Pretoria. Yet in 1975 a protracted war of national liberation on the African continent escalated sharply into a major international crisis. Swept up in the momen- tum of the Cold War, the fate of the former Portuguese colony of Angola captured the attention of policymakers from the United States to Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), Colombia to Luxembourg. The struggle over Angolan independence from Portugal was many things: the culmination of sixteen years of intense anti-colonial struggle and the launch of 28 years of civil war, a threat to white minority rule in southern Africa, and another battle on the long road to ending empire and colonialism. It was also a strug- gle to define and create a viable postcolonial state and to carry out a radical transformation of the sociopolitical structure of Angolan society. Recent scholarship on Angolan independence has provided an impres- sive chronology of the complicated saga yet has less to say about the wider consequences and ramifications of a crisis that, though located in southern Africa, was international in scope. During the anti-colonial struggle, U.S. sup- port reinforced the Portuguese metropole, contiguous African states harbored competing revolutionaries, and great and medium powers—including Cuba, China, and South Africa—provided weapons, combat troops, and mercenar- ies to the three main national liberation movements.

A well known postcard by Namibian photographer TONY PUPKEWITZ ,--------------------------------------·---·------------~ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ideas in this thesis originated in numerous stimulating discussions in the 1980s with colleagues in and out of my field: In particular, I thank my supervisor, Andrew B. Smith, Martin Hall, John Parkington, Royden Yates, Lita Webley, Yvonne Brink and Megan Biesele. Many people helped me in various ways during my years of being a nomad in Namibia: These include Molly Green of Cape Town, Rod and Val Lichtman and the Le Roux family of Windhoek. Special thanks are due to my two translators, Shorty Kasaona, and the late Kaupiti Tjipomba, and to Garth Owen-Smith, who shared with me the good and the bad, as well as his deep knowledge of Kunene and its people. Without these three Namibians, there would be no thesis. Field assistance was given by Tina Coombes and Denny Smith.

Backup storage is held in the Olushandja Dam and in water towers at Ogongo, Oshakati and Ondangwa and about 4,000 km of pipelines radiate out from purification schemes and supply most of the people and the livestock [2, 3]. The canal is open along most of its course to Oshakati, allowing livestock and people living nearby to make free use of the water. During the rainy season, flood water from the vast Oshana drainage system swashes into the canal bearing a potential health risk when consumed untreated. Within the SASSCAL project (Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adap- tive Land Management – www.sasscal.org) water samples were collected during a field campaign from 18th to 20th November 2013 right before the onset of the rainy season 2013/14, to gain information on water evolution, evaporation and mixing influences as well as to characterize input concentrations for indirect recharge in this area.

Based on declassified conversations between U.S. and Chinese officials along with declassified intelligence cables, government documents, and research in the United Nations archives this paper illuminates how China played a crucial role in escalating the Angolan Civil War and encouraged U.S. intervention in the conflict.

  • Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a Symbiotic Relationship Hidipo Hamutenya*
    Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a symbiotic relationship Hidipo Hamutenya* Introduction Namibia and Angola have much in common, but, at the same time, they differ greatly. For example, both countries fought colonial oppression and are now independent; however, one went through civil war, while the other had no such experience. Other similarities include the fact that the former military groups (Angola’s Movimiento Popular para la Liberacão de Angola, or MPLA, and Namibia’s South West Africa People’s Organisation, or SWAPO) are now in power in both countries. At one time, the two political movements shared a common ideological platform and lent each other support during their respective liberation struggles. The two countries are also neighbours, with a 1,376-km common border that extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Zambezi River in the west. Families and communities on both sides of the international boundary share resources, communicate, trade and engage in other types of exchange. All these facts point to a relationship between the two countries that goes back many decades, and continues strongly today. What defines this relationship and what are the crucial elements that keep it going? Angola lies on the Atlantic coast of south-western Africa. It is richly endowed with natural resources and measures approximately 1,246,700 km2 in land surface area. Populated with more than 14 million people, Angola was a former Portuguese colony. Portuguese explorers first came to Angola in 1483. Their conquest and exploitation became concrete when Paulo Dias de Novais erected a colonial settlement in Luanda in 1575.
