The Deparbrent main- tained that these hOUSing facilities together with those in the recently established Cape Divisional Coill1cil ta.vnship of Nyanga 'resulted in the rerroval and resettlement of all (m,r emphasis) squatters and also those resident in wrongly sited areas'. 1 More than two decades later, in winter 1983, Capetonians are witnessing yet again the shameful spectacle of the authorities engaged in heartless skinnishes at the K.T.C. caJ1I> with African Squatters, virtually an annual event since 1975 as Ellis (pages 107-114) record. Squatting as a cost-effective means of acquiring shelter has a long history in the Cape Peninsula having been observed by Van Riebeeck as early as 1655. 'll1e poor of all ethnic groups have employed the stratagem for centuries in the face of the authorities' inability and often obdurate ill1willing­ 2 ness to cope with a critical housing problem. Ignorance of the social forces at work in the process of urbanisation is a special plea which IlnlSt be disallONed the authorities as nore than two decades have elapsed since the Department of Bantu Administration and Developrent showed an admirably clear ill1derstanding of the fundamental issues involved: 'The shift in occupation of the working Bantu population and acccrnpanying process of urbanisation are fill1ctions of econClllic developrent •.. a shift has taken place in the process of developrrent frClll primaJ:y to secondary and tertiary activities which are mainly concentrated in the urban areas, with the result that an increasing proportion of the Republic's total Bantu population has settled in urban areas.

(my enphasis) ,.4 It is on this special aspect of the Verwoerdian grand design of Apartheid which the various dClCl.meIlts pre­ sented in this publication concentrate. While South ,Africa's present rulers pay lip-service to separate development and separate freedoms the older ideology is proving extraordinarily tenacious. As West (see page 16) indicates there is well-founded speculation that under­ lying the 'Coloured Labour Preference' policy is the hope of sore Cape Nationalist ideologues who 'envisage the Western Cape as' a potential white horeland of last resort'. '!be policy and the programne instituted to effect its goals require " , closer scrutiny than can be afforded here. Even a cursory examination, ha.ever,' reveals interesting facets. In 1951, Dr. 1.0. du PlesSiS, was appointed to the office of Ccmnissioner of Coloured Affairs.' He' was reputed to be extremely synpathetic to the 'coloured' people and in his first report on his activities made the following direct asser­ tion: 'One of the IlOSt serious problems facing the Coloured, and particularly the unskilled labourer, is the increased ccrnpetition by the large ntmibers of Natives who have entered the Cape Peninsula, in particular, and the Western Province in general - the traditional sphere of the Coloureds. '5 '!he 'traditional sphere of the Coloured' became a constant refrain in govemrrent reports, in the statements of politicians who were protagon­ ists of the principle of racial hierarchy and in the reports of govern­ rrent ccmnissions. Nevertheless this apparent concern for the welfare of 'coloured' people had not constrained these self-appointed protectors fran passing the Group Areas Act in 1950. '!his instrurtalt of Apartheid 4. Ibid. p.7. 5. Ccmnission for Coloured Affairs. Report for the year ended 31 March 1952. U.G. 45/1952 p.7. 3 was to exact an extrem=ly heavy price fran the group who were oste..'1- sibly the object of this special concern, particularly in the Western Cape - their 'traditional sphere'. 'Coloured Labour Preference' conveniently for the state, but very inconveniently for the Peninsula's African population, ignored the historical presence of the African who had been living and working in the area since the early nineteenth­ century (see West p. 15) . By 1900 approximately 10 000 Africans were living in the greater Cape T= area where 1 500 of them were an essential carponent of the work force in the docks. The first tONl1Ship in which they were housed, Ndabeni (previously Uitvlugt) was established in 1901 and Langa Town­ ship (planned in 1923) was opened in 1927 when 10 000 African residents of the Peninsula, constituting sane 12% of the errployees of private industry, were registered. The atterrpted rerroval of sane 3 000 Africans fran Cape TONI1 then had failed because of the deploynent of legally defective procedures (see Ellis p.l06). The rate of African urbanisation in Cape Town was bolstered during the Second World War when the state actively recruited large numbers of African -workers fran the Transkei and Ciskei to assist with construe- lion which was vital for the war effort. The authorities shirked the responsibility for housing these workers who built their own shanties in sane areas which have a disconcertingly familiar ring now: 6 aetreat, Vrygrond, Phillipi, Grassy Park and Elsie' s River. By the mid-'fifties Africans constituted 25-27% of private industry's errploy­ ees in :the \Estern Cape (see Ellis p.106) . Dlring the 'fifties the state made little actual progress with the re­ settlement of people disqualified fran being in certain group areas because the Cape TONI1 City Council refused its cc-operation on the grounds that the ilrplementation of the policy was ilrpossible without 7 causing great hardship to vast numbers of citizens.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

Robins December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The official custodian of the Cape Peninsula mountain chain, located at the centre of Cape Town, is the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). This park is South Africa’s only urban open-access park and has been declared a World Heritage Site. This thesis is an anthropological and historical examination of the past and present conservation of the Cape Peninsula . I provide an overview of the relationship between the urban environment and the Cape Peninsula aiming to illustrate the produced character of the mountains and its mediation in power relations. This study of custodianship reveals that protecting and conserving the Cape Peninsula is shaped by the politics of the urban and natural environment as well as by the experience of living in the city.

    REPORTABLE IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA (WESTERN CAPE HIGH COURT, CAPE TOWN) CASE NO: 10416/04 In the matter between: DUDLEY LEE Plaintiff and THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES Defendant JUDGMENT DE SWARDT, A J: [1.] Pollsmoor Prison (‘Pollsmoor’), as it is commonly known, is in fact a prison complex consisting of five different prisons : the admissions centre which is also known as the maximum security prison, the women’s prison, the juvenile prison and the medium security prisons B and C for sentenced prisoners. [2.] The plaintiff was detained in the maximum security prison for a period of approximately 4½ years from November 1999 to 27 September 2004 while he was on trial in the Regional Court (he was temporarily out on bail from January to April 2000). In June 2003, whilst he was incarcerated, he became ill and was diagnosed as suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis Page -2- (‘TB’). After the plaintiff’s release from prison, pursuant to his acquittal on the criminal charges which had been preferred against him, the plaintiff instituted an action for damages against the defendant on the basis that the defendant’s servants at the prison had by their conduct, whether acting dolus eventualis or negligently, caused him to become infected with TB. By agreement between the parties and in terms of Uniform Rule 33(4) the Court granted an Order that the merits of the plaintiff’s claim were to be adjudicated upon separately, prior to the quantum of the plaintiff’s alleged damages being dealt with.
