    THE ROLE AND APPLICATION OF THE UNION DEFENCE FORCE IN THE SUPPRESSION OF INTERNAL UNREST, 1912 - 1945 Andries Marius Fokkens Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Military Science (Military History) at the Military Academy, Saldanha, Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Lieutenant Colonel (Prof.) G.E. Visser Co-supervisor: Dr. W.P. Visser Date of Submission: September 2006 ii Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously submitted it, in its entirety or in part, to any university for a degree. Signature:…………………….. Date:………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The use of military force to suppress internal unrest has been an integral part of South African history. The European colonisation of South Africa from 1652 was facilitated by the use of force. Boer commandos and British military regiments and volunteer units enforced the peace in outlying areas and fought against the indigenous population as did other colonial powers such as France in North Africa and Germany in German South West Africa, to name but a few. The period 1912 to 1945 is no exception, but with the difference that military force was used to suppress uprisings of white citizens as well. White industrial workers experienced this military suppression in 1907, 1913, 1914 and 1922 when they went on strike. Job insecurity and wages were the main causes of the strikes and militant actions from the strikers forced the government to use military force when the police failed to maintain law and order.

    The Battle of Sandfontein: the Role and Legacy of Major- General Sir Henry Timson Lukin

    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 34, Nr 2, 2006. doi: 10.5787/34-2-24 65 THE BATTLE OF SANDFONTEIN: THE ROLE AND LEGACY OF MAJOR- 1 GENERAL SIR HENRY TIMSON LUKIN Rodney C. Warwick2 Diocesan College, Cape Town Introduction Commemorative statues, plaques and monuments from decades past remain widespread across both the urban and rural South Africa landscape. Included amongst these is the stone likeness of General Tim Lukin in Cape Town: just one of such structures intended to encapsulate the emotions and memories of those who commissioned it. The South African involvement at Delville Wood ninety years ago would still resonate with some of the country’s population; those who at some stage have delved into reading up on the history of our participation in the First World War. However mention of the Battle of Sandfontein during the Union invasion of German South West Africa in 1914 to the same reasonably historically literate grouping, would from the larger proportion of them, most probably elicit an admittance of ignorance. Only the well-read enthusiast of South African military history would be aware of Lukin’s roles at both Delville Wood and Sandfontein, let alone how the latter engagement constituted one of the bleakest moments in the General’s career. This article revives debate about this long forgotten First World War military clash in Africa: the first full set battle-piece in which the two year old Union Defence Force was involved, and which resulted in a defeat for the South African forces. It also investigates the role of General Lukin therein, and how culpability for 1 This paper was presented at the 4th War and Society in Africa Conference: Strategy, Generalship and Command in Southern Africa: Past, Present, Future, held at the South African Military Academy, Saldanha, 4-6 September 2003.

    1 John Keene interviewed by Mike Cadman 19/09/07 Former Regimental Sergeant Major – Rand Light Infantry TAPE ONE SIDE A Interviewer Can you give me a bit of a background about how you came to be in the military, when you started, just a little sort of thumbnail sketch of your career in the military. John Keene I was born in 1946, which is nine months after the end of the Second World War. And I went to Maritz Brothers College, Inanda. My father had been in the Rand Light Infantry during the Second World War and had been badly wounded at ? My grandfather on my father’s side was a merchant navy captain and he had been responsible for landing Anzac troops in the Dardanelles during the First World War. My mother’s father came out to South Africa in Imperial Military Railways during the Anglo Boer War. So throughout my life I considered that warfare was a natural part of human existence. Through my father I knew all of his comrades in the Rand Light Infantry (RLI), and I’d formed a picture of what the army should be like. At school we were mostly English speaking boys and most of our fathers had also served in the Second World War in one or other of the arms, either the air force, the army or the navy. And the mindset that we had developed at that stage was that our fathers had fought a war for liberation of the human race and that the world offered a lot.

Date: 29 July 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In the absence of literature of the kind, this study addresses the role of music in militarising South African society during the time of the South African Border War (1966-1989). The War on the border between Namibia and Angola took place against the backdrop of the Cold War, during which the apartheid South African government believed that it had to protect the last remnants of Western civilization on the African continent against the communist onslaught. Civilians were made aware of this perceived threat through various civilian and military channels, which included the media, education and the private business sector. The involvement of these civilian sectors in the military resulted in the increasing militarisation of South African society through the blurring of boundaries between the civilian and the military.
