  • Title: the Diamond Smugglers by Ian Fleming 1957
    Title: The Diamond Smugglers by Ian Fleming 1957 Published by Jonathan Cape, London Shelf Number: SBV3 823.914 FLEM The Diamond Smugglers is non-fiction work that was first published between 1957 and 1958. It is about the interview that the author undertook with John Collard who was a member of the International Diamond Security Organization (IDSO), which was headed by Sir Percy Sillitoe. Collard narrates how he was recruited into the organization. The book goes on to discuss all activities of the IDSO from 1954 until the operation was closed in 1957. Collard explained that the IDSO was created after an Interpol report had stated that £10 million of diamonds were being smuggled out of South Africa as well as additional amounts from Sierra Leone, Portuguese West Africa, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. When the drafts of the book were shown to De Beers they objected to several chapters and threatened a sanction against Fleming and The Sunday Times, which resulted in most material being removed. 1 Title: Bushman Paintings by Helen Tongue 1909 Published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press Shelf Number: SBV3 759.968 TONG In many parts of the Cape Colony, where there are caves and rocks, the bushmen have left paintings displaying their artistic skills. These paintings represent leopards; antelopes; lions and other animals that roamed over South Africa. The Bushmen Paintings was written by Helen Tongue and is about the lives of the Bushmen. The book is divided into two parts, the first part being descriptions of all the paintings that are included in the manuscript, the second part encompasses a brief history about the origin of Bushmen as well as where how they lived their lives.

  • Senong on Seriti
    Third Text Africa, No. 12, August 2020, 86-103 Comparative readings of seritiin the art of George Pemba, Gerard Sekoto, Nhlanhla Xaba and Zwelethu Mthethwa Kolodi Senong This essay presents the argument that conceptions of seriti can be read into works produced by black South African artists such as George Pemba (1912-2001), Gerard Sekoto (1913- 1993), Nhlanhla Xaba (1960-2003) and Zwelethu Mthethwa (b.1960).1 Dignity is called seriti in Sepedi, isidima in isiXhosa and isithunzi in isiZulu. Individually, people are imbued with seriti as an aura of respectability and equality, irrespective of personal standing within the hierarchy of life and society. Sekoto and Pemba were among the first black South African modernists, whereas Xaba and Mthethwa’s careers emerged in the years when the country transitioned to democracy. I discuss aesthetic techniques in selected works by these artists as a point of interrogation into modes of representation, interpretation and the subject of seriti. Among the four artists discussed in the essay, Mthethwa is the only one who talks explicitly about exploring a sense of dignity in his images. This reading of his work has been deeply compromised following his conviction for the brutal killing of Nokuphila Kumalo, a twenty- three-year-old sex worker. My intention, then, is to not only considerseriti as an aesthetic quality, but also as an idea impacting on the reading of particular works of art. Early expressions of seriti:Sekoto in Eastwood and Pembaʼs dramatic observations Several authors claim that both Sekoto and Pemba interpret people within their surroundings in a dignified manner.2 The two artists’ subject matter includes depictions of daily life, such as people reading books, riding on a bus or interacting socially.

  • UNISA LIBRARY MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTION John Wickens' Scrapbook of Walter Battiss Materials C1912; 1947-1994
    MSS ACC 140 UNISA LIBRARY MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTION John Wickens’ Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials C1912; 1947-1994 Compiled by Marié Coetzee 2013 Biography of Walter Battiss (1906-1982) Walter Battiss was born on 6 January in Somerset East. The family later moved to Fauresmith in the Orange Free State where Battiss matriculated in 1923. The following year, he started working in the Magistrate of Rustenburg’s Office. He held the first of many solo exhibitions in the Rustenburg Masonic Hall in 1927. Two years later he was transferred to the Supreme Court in Johannesburg. During this period he attended part-time classes at the Art School of the Witwatersrand Technical College. Between 1930 and 1932, Battiss studied full-time at the Johannesburg Teachers’ Training College and the University of the Witwatersrand where obtained a teacher’s diploma. In 1936 Walter Battiss was appointed art master at the Pretoria Boys’ High School and he started seriously studying rock art. In 1938 he travelled to Europe where he met Abbé Breuil, co-founder of the New Group. Battiss married Grace Anderson, a well-known art-educationalist, in 1940 and moved to Giotto’s Hill, Menlo Park, Pretoria, where he stayed until his death in 1982. Battiss was appointed as the first professor and Head of the Department of History of Art and Fine Arts at Unisa in November 1964. His links to the University go back as far as 1935, when he registered for a BA (FA) degree. He obtained this Unisa degree in 1939. In 1965 Battiss launched the pilot issue of De Arte, for many years the only academic art journal in the country.
