BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BY REV. ROBERT GODFREY, M.A. " Bantu Studies " Monograph Series, No. 2 JOHANNESBURG WITWATERSRAND UNIVERSITY PRESS 1941 598 . 29687 GOD BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BY REV. ROBERT GODFREY, M.A. " Bantu Studies" Monograph .Series, No. 2 JOHANNESBURG WITWATERSRAND UNIVERSITY PRESS 1941 TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN HENDERSON SOGA AN ARDENT FELLOW-NATURALIST AND GENEROUS CO-WORKER THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. Published with the aid of a grant from the Inter-f University Committee for African Studies and Research. PREFACE My interest in bird-lore began in my own home in Scotland, and was fostered by the opportunities that came to me in my wanderings about my native land. On my arrival in South Africa in 19117, it was further quickened by the prospect of gathering much new material in a propitious field. My first fellow-workers in the fascinating study of Native bird-lore were the daughters of my predecessor at Pirie, Dr. Bryce Ross, and his grandson Mr. Join% Ross. In addition, a little arm y of school-boys gathered birds for me, supplying the Native names, as far as they knew them, for the specimens the y brought. In 1910, after lecturing at St. Matthew's on our local birds, I was made adjudicator in an essay-competition on the subject, and through these essays had my knowledge considerably extended. My further experience, at Somerville and Blythswood, and my growing correspondence, enabled me to add steadily to my material ; and in 1929 came a great opportunit y for unifying my results. -

King William's Town
http://ngtt.journals.ac.za Hofmeyr, JW (Hoffie) University of the Free State and Hofmeyr, George S (†) (1945-2009) Former Director of the National Monuments Council of South Africa Establishing a stable society for the sake of ecclesiastical expansion in a frontier capital (King William’s Town) in the Eastern Cape: the pensioners and their village between 1855 and 1861 ABSTRACT For many different reasons, the Eastern Cape area has long been and remains one of the strong focus points of general, political and ecclesiastical historians. In this first article of a series on a frontier capital (King William’s Town) in the Eastern Cape, I wish to focus on a unique socio economic aspect of the fabric of the Eastern Cape society in the period between 1855 and 1861 i.e. the establishment of a Pensioners’ Village. It also touches on certain aspects of the process of colonization in the Eastern Cape. Eventually all of this had, besides many other influences, also an influence on the further expansion of Christianity in the frontier context of the Eastern Cape. In a next article the focus will therefore be on a discussion and analysis of the expansion of missionary work in this frontier context against the background of the establishment of the Pensioners’ Village. 1. INTRODUCTION The British settlement of the Eastern Cape region was a long drawn out process, besides that of the local indigenous people, the Xhosa from the north and the Afrikaner settlers from the western Cape. All these settlements not only had a clear socio economic and political effect but it eventually also influenced the ecclesiastical scene. -

Biomonitoring of the Keiskamma River System (R10 Catchment)
BIOMONOTORING OF THE KIESKAMMA RIVER SYSTEM (R 10 CATCHMENT) Figure 1; Sandile Dam March 2008 PREPARED BY: Mlondolozi N. Mbikwana Assisted by: Tembela Bushula Collection of data: M.N. Mbikwana, K. Mkosana, E. Weni, T Bushula and N. Finca PO BOX 7019 EAST LONDON 5201 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objective of the South African National River Health Programme (NRHP) makes use of the instream and riparian biological communities like the fish, macro invertebrates and vegetation to assess the ecological health or condition of rivers. These biological communities are always found in rivers and they are often affected by any disturbance that occurs in the river ecosystem. This report provides the results of the biomonitoring survey that was undertaken in November 2007. Field indices used for data collection included the South African Scoring System version 5.0 (SASS5) for Macro invertebrates and the Fish Assemblage Integrity Index for fish (FAII). Ten biomonitoring sites were selected in the Keiskamma River system; this includes three sites in the Tyume River (a tributary to Keiskamma River) and they are: Site Description Coordinates Site Code 1 Tyume Head waters (Hogsback) S32o 36’ 39.8”, E26o R1Tyum-Hogsb 56’ 52.2” 1a ** Tyume Head waters (Sompondo S32o 37’ 34.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Sompo ** Village) 57’ 19.9” 2 Tyume Fort Hare S32o 46’ 44.6”, E26o R1Tyum-Forth 51’ 21.5” 3 Tyume before confluence with S32o 54’ 06.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Becon Keiskamma river 55’ 40.0” 4 Keiskamma above confluence with S32o 54’ 41.9”, E26o R1Keis-abcon Tyume 56’ 17.6” 5 Keiskamma
