Two eThembeni staff members inspected the borrow pits on 8 and 9 September 2008 and completed controlled-exclusive surface surveys of each. We identified no heritage resources within any of the proposed development areas. The landscape within which the borrow pits are located is one of extensive agriculture and conservation, dominated overwhelmingly by game and hunting farms. Scattered villages, towns and farmsteads are present and infrastructure is generally basic and limited to services that provide for local needs. All the borrow pits will be rehabilitated according to the standards of the Department of Minerals and Energy, to ensure that visual impacts on the landscape are minimized in the long term. We recommend that the development proceed with no further heritage mitigation and have submitted this report to the South African Heritage Resources Agency in fulfilment of the requirements of the Heritage Resources Act 1999.

  • Bessie Head South Africa, 1937-1986 Serowe Village of the Rain Wind
    Bessie Head South Africa, 1937-1986 Serowe Village of the Rain Wind 1981, EN, Botswana Bessie Head has used all her skills as a novelist to show an African community going about its daily work both now and in the last hundred years. Serowe is, in any case, one of the best-known villages in Africa because it is the capital of the people ruled by the Khamas, of whom Tshekedi and Seretse are the most famous. But, as in Ronald Blythe’s Akenfield, her central intention is to recall a community and its historythrough the words of the thatcher and the schoolteacher, the potter and the preacher, the market woman and the ploughman. Here are the actual words of nearly one hundred inhabitants representing all aspects of a community. In Africa where most people still have strong village connections, readers will find instant parallels and contrasts with their own communities. Table of contents (51) Foreword: by Ronald Blythe* Introduction General Portrait of Serowe · Things Unique to Village Life PART ONE: The Era of Khama the Great (1875-1923) 1: Khama the Great 2: Traditional History Ngwato Creates the Bamangwato Nation · How the Phuti* Became the Totem of the Bamangwato 3: Early Primary Education under the Trees 4: Religion A history of the London Missionary Society Church 5: The Chief’s Kgotla The Chief Khama’s Exhortation to His People: Laws and Regulations which have been disobeyed · The Role of the Old Men at the Kgotla 6: Self-Sufficient Skills 7: Wagon Transport 8: The Breakdown of Family Life 9: The End of an Era 10: Sekgoma II, the Son

  • 1 GJ Groenewald the Vicissitudes of the Griqua People in Nineteenth
    ‘FAMILY RELATIONS AND CIVIL RELATIONS:’ NICOLAAS WATERBOER’S JOURNAL OF HIS VISIT TO GRIQUALAND EAST, 1872 GJ Groenewald The vicissitudes of the Griqua people in nineteenth-century South Africa have been characterised variously as a ‘tragedy’ and an ‘injustice’.1 Although once a significant factor in the internal politics of the country, their history is little known in modern South Africa and rarely studied by historians. Because of their peregrinations, documents about them are scattered all over the country, often in the most unexpected places. In this article, a recent discovery of a hand-written journal by Nicolaas Waterboer, the last Griqua kaptyn (captain), is presented. Although historians have known that he visited Griqualand East shortly after its establishment, it is now possible to have a first-hand account by a sympathetic observer who intimately knew the people involved and their history. This is a rare opportunity to hear the voice of an African indigene describing the history of his own people and proffering his own motivations. The Rise of the Griqua Captaincies In the nineteenth century, the Griquas considered themselves the descendants of Adam Kok, later called ‘the First’ to distinguish him from his subsequent namesakes. Supposedly the son of a slave, he was farming as a free man in the Piketberg district by the 1750s.2 Kok assembled a following consisting of bastaard-hottentotten (the eighteenth-century nomenclature for the biracial offspring of Khoikhoi and Europeans) and the remains of the Chaguriqua, a Khoikhoi tribe whose ancestral land was in this area. The Dutch authorities at the Cape recognised Kok as a kaptyn (captain) and awarded him a staff of office.

  • Rational Political Consciousness and Political Developments in South Africa
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences. ISSN 2250-3226 Volume 6, Number 1 (2016), pp. 23-40 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Rational Political Consciousness And Political Developments In South Africa Mr. Tarakanta Biswal UGC NET Qualified scholar and MA (Political science) Utkal University, Odisha, India Abstract The rational political consciousness and political development was a long walk on the history of South Africa to materialize it on her own land. The rational politics was suppressed, subdued, deprived, subordinated, neglected, exploited and kept aloof from majority of masses. The lake of rational political consciousness amongst the tribes of Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, Basotho, Bapedi and other tribes made them to victim of colonial politics. They all fall prey to imperialistic politics one after another and lost their sovereignty on the hand of British. The ethnic conflict between Boers and English for political paramount made South African politics more complicated and severely affected the other races of South Africa. The Whites were utilized the other races as their servant, neglected and deprived them from social amenities. They were forced to live under their will and wishes. They were also forced to work as bonded labourers, indentured labour and slaves. The Britain‟s effort to make South Africa a Union was succeeded in 1909 but the social, political and economic condition of Non-whites and coloured remains unchanged. The Natives Land Act in 1913 not only deprived the Non-whites from their main lands but also from their livelihoods. The Home Land Citizen Act in 1970 also forcibly removed thousands of Black tribal population from urban centre of South Africa and South west Africa to Bantustan.
