The Guide is indexed, and is keyword-searchable in its electronic form, enabling users to identify collections that may hold sources of relevance to their research. Detailed finding aids exist for most collections and these may be consulted in the Special Collections reading room or in the on-line database of archival finding aids, Access to Memory, AtoM@UCT (see below). In most cases, electronic versions of the finding aids can be e-mailed to users at their request. These detailed finding aids will enable users to identify and request access to specific archival material on the basis of the references they contain. Structure of the Guide to the Manuscripts The first field in each entry indicates whether the material is kept on site or in off-site archival storage. In the latter case, advance notice of a visit to consult the material is essential. The term “manuscript” is used to denote the type of material in all the entries in the Guide meaning that the bulk of the material comprises original, unpublished primary sources, whether handwritten or typescript, photographic, microform, or electronic in format. The entries are arranged sequentially on the basis of their unique collection identifiers. The meanings of the codes in identifiers are as follows: BC manuscript or archival collection, often comprising a substantial volume of material BCS a single manuscript or archival item that does not form part of a collection BCZA microfilm collection BCZB microfiche collection TPA manuscript collection of composers’ music scores The remaining fields contain the title of the collection or item; the period it covers; where applicable, the name of the donor, its physical extent, whether a detailed finding aid (list) is available, and if access restrictions apply; and a brief description of the contents. The manuscript and archival holdings of Special Collections Special Collections houses some 1 500 discrete archival collections, consisting of original research material relating to the political, social, cultural and economic history of Southern Africa, with a strong focus on the Western Cape. Collections deal with a wide range of subjects, including art, music, education, literature and language, botany, politics and architecture, and include records in all media. Collections include the personal papers of prominent people, or whose papers constitute an important record of Southern African social history; the papers of communities not strongly represented in archives; corporate papers from non-governmental organisations, iii companies or institutions; the personal and research papers of UCT academics; non- administrative records relating to the history of UCT; architectural collections of leading South African architects; papers and record books of ethnic and religious communities and papers of individuals prominent in such communities; manuscript music scores and personal papers of South African composers; papers relating to labour and trade, and the records of labour unions; the oral history of South Africa; papers and other materials associated with important social, historical, or cultural issues or movements. A Visual Archives component comprising a significant volume of photographic and film material has been developed in recent years. This material is not reflected in the Guide to the Manuscripts but some information about it and selected digitised material may be accessed in the sites mentioned below. (Note: UCT has a separate Administrative Archives which holds the university’s official administrative records. The University Archivist, Lionel Smidt, can be contacted via e- mail at [email protected] and telephone number + 27 (0)21 650 4763.) Accessing and using the manuscript and archival holdings of Special Collections The holdings are accessible to any bona fide researcher or user, whether connected to UCT or not. External users are requested to complete a registration form on their first visit. No fee is payable to consult material. The reading room of Special Collections is situated in the historic Jagger Library on UCT’s Upper Campus and is accessed from University Avenue immediate left (south) of Jameson Hall, when facing the Hall. Please see block C5 on the map at https://www.uct.ac.za/usr/downloads/uct.ac.za/contact/campusmaps/uctuppercampus.jp g Directions regarding temporary parking for visitors may be obtained from the Information Centre (block E10 on the map) and visitors’ parking discs may be purchased at the Traffic Office (block B2 on the map). Users may seek guidance on sources and procedures at the Information Desk in the reading room. Users should complete a manuscripts request slip indicating the references of the relevant material based on the finding aids. Some material is kept in off-site archival storage (as indicated in this Guide) and advance notice of a visit to consult such material is essential. In a small number of cases, donors may have placed a restriction on access to some material, e.g. requiring it to be kept closed until a specified date. The provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act may also require certain procedures to be followed before access may be given to documents containing personal information of third parties. Users may use their own digital cameras to make copies of archival documents subject to signing an agreement that the copies are to be used only for personal reference and research purposes. Photocopies or scans of selected material may also be ordered. The Special Collections reading room also provides user access to the extensive African Studies Library of published material, and the Rare Books Collection. The holdings of these libraries may be searched in UCT Libraries’ on-line catalogue at http://www.lib.uct.ac.za under Search & Find > Catalogue. A search may be restricted to the location African Studies Library. iv On-line access to information, finding aids and archival material General information about Special Collections and some useful Digital Resources are accessible on the Special Collections page at http://www.specialcollections.uct.ac.za A PDF version of this Guide may be downloaded from this site by following the links Collections > Manuscripts. Many of the archival finding aids are contained in the on-line database of finding aids Access to Memory, AtoM@UCT, which is accessed at http://www.atom.lib.uct.ac.za Where information on particular collections is not yet contained in AtoM@UCT, users may enquire whether off-line finding aids could be sent to them by e-mail. Selected archival material has been digitised and can be accessed on-line at http://www.digitalcollections.lib.uct.ac.za Origins of the Guide to the Manuscripts at UCT Libraries In its current format, the Guide to the Manuscripts in UCT Libraries was originally prepared in the late 1970s as UCT Libraries’ contribution the National Register of Manuscripts (NAREM) maintained by the National Archives to provide a central point of access to information on non-public archival collections in South Africa. The fields in each entry were prescribed to enable on-line access in a database. The Guide was regularly updated for that purpose and in print form, but the National Archives has not maintained NAREM for a considerable period. Some of the contents of the Guide and those of other archival repositories may still be searched on-line in the MAN database of the National Automated Archival Information Retrieval System (NAAIRS) at http://www.national.archives.gov.za. (Note: The National Archives is currently migrating its own NAAIRS databases which are to be accessed on the new site http://www.nationalarchives.gov.za.) Enquiries to Special Collections at UCT Libraries E-mail enquiries may be addressed to the Manager of Special Collections, Ms Renate Meyer at [email protected]. The information desk in the Jagger Library may be contacted at telephone number + 27 (0)21 650 4089.

  • Large Scale Quantification of Aquifer Storage and Volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the Southwestern Cape
    Large scale quantification of aquifer storage and volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the southwestern Cape Dylan Blake*, Andiswa Mlisa and Chris Hartnady Umvoto Africa (Pty) Ltd,PO Box 61, Muizenberg, 7950, Western Cape, South Africa Abstract The Western Cape Province of South Africa is a relatively water-scarce area as a result of the Mediterranean climate experienced. Due to the increased usage of groundwater, and the requirement to know how much water is available for use, it is imperative as a 1st step to establish an initial estimate of groundwater in storage. The storage capacity, namely, the total available storage of the different aquifers, and the storage yield of the fractured quartzitic Peninsula and Skurweberg Formation aquifers of the Table Mountain Group (TMG), are calculated with a spreadsheet and Geographic Information System (GIS) model. This model is based on the aquifer geometry and estimated values (based on measured data) for porosity and specific storage (calculated using the classic Jacob relation). The aquifer geometry is calculated from 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 geological contacts, faults and major fractures, with dips and aquifer formation thickness calculated through structural geology 1st principles using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Balanced geological cross-sections constructed through the model areas provide an important check for the aquifer top and bottom surface depth values produced by the GIS model. The storage modelling undertaken here forms part of the City of Cape Town TMG Aquifer Feasibility Study and Pilot Project, with modelling focusing on the 3 main groundwater target areas at Theewaterskloof (Nuweberg), Wemmershoek and Kogelberg-Steenbras.

  • Creating Provinces for a New South Africa, 1993
    NEGOTIATING DIVISIONS IN A DIVIDED LAND: CREATING PROVINCES FOR A NEW SOUTH AFRICA, 1993 SYNOPSIS As South Africa worked to draft a post-apartheid constitution in the months leading up to its first fully democratic elections in 1994, the disparate groups negotiating the transition from apartheid needed to set the country’s internal boundaries. By 1993, the negotiators had agreed that the new constitution would divide the country into provinces, but the thorniest issues remained: the number of provinces and their borders. Lacking reliable population data and facing extreme time pressure, the decision makers confronted explosive political challenges. South Africa in the early 1990s was a patchwork of provinces and “homelands,” ethnically defined areas for black South Africans. Some groups wanted provincial borders drawn according to ethnicity, which would strengthen their political bases but also reinforce divisions that had bedeviled the country’s political past. Those groups threatened violence if they did not get their way. To reconcile the conflicting interests and defuse the situation, the Multi-Party Negotiating Forum established a separate, multiparty commission. Both the commission and its technical committee comprised individuals from different party backgrounds who had relevant skills and expertise. They agreed on a set of criteria for the creation of new provinces and solicited broad input from the public. In the short term, the Commission on the Demarcation/Delimitation of States/Provinces/Regions balanced political concerns and technical concerns, satisfied most of the negotiating parties, and enabled the elections to move forward by securing political buy-in from a wide range of factions. In the long term, however, the success of the provincial boundaries as subnational administrations has been mixed.

  • South African Activists' Use of Nanomedia and Digital Media In
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 2153–2170 1932–8036/20180005 South African Activists’ Use of Nanomedia and Digital Media in Democratization Conflicts TANJA BOSCH HERMAN WASSERMAN WALLACE CHUMA University of Cape Town, South Africa South African social activism reemerged in the 1990s after a brief lull following the end of apartheid and the transition to democracy. The revival of social activism appeared against the backdrop of a plethora of challenges facing the young democracy, including corruption, inequality, unemployment, and lack of service delivery. Protests have become a daily occurrence in South Africa as many of the poor people feel left out of the dividends democracy has brought. Although these protests are mediated in various ways—that is, activists use print and social media to broadcast their activities—many protests fail to attract mainstream media attention. This article explores how activists use nanomedia and digital media as communicative platforms in the context of an asymmetrical and tenuous relationship with mainstream media. The article draws on interviews with activists conducted during 2016 to explore their deployment of alternative communicative strategies in an environment where commercial mainstream media largely serves elite audiences and frames the discussion from the perspective of the civil society–democracy relationship. Keywords: nanomedia, democratization conflicts, social activism, civil society, digital media In the two decades since the end of apartheid, South Africa has become one of the most vibrant liberal democracies in Africa. However, despite the transition to formal democracy being heralded as peaceful, the postapartheid political environment has been characterized by ongoing community protests. The gains made in political and civil rights have not adequately extended to the arena of economic freedom for most of the country’s citizens, making South Africa one of the most unequal societies in the world.
