  • N Verhaal Van Vrouens in Die Morawiese Kerk in Suid-Afrika
    Die susters van die broederkerk - 'n Verhaal van vrouens in die Morawiese kerk in Suid-Afrika C Landman ABSTRACT The sisters of the Brethern Church. A story of women in the Moravian Church in South Africa The story of early women converts of the Moravian Church is told. It is argued that this church, since it commenced with missionary work in SOUlh Africa in 1737, showed a positive and reconstructive attitude towards women. Preselllly many so-called coloured women hold high positions in the ministry and moderamen of this church. It is therefore appropriate that Nelson Mandela called his Cape Town residence "Genadendal" in comme­ moration of the first Moravian mission slation in SOUlh Africa and the work done there for the past three cellluries in service of human dignity. As such it is also appropriate to dedicaTe this ankle to Carl Borchardt for his inclusive attitude towards women colleagues. 1 INLEIDING Nelson Mandela (1918- ), president van 'n nuwe demokratiese regering in Suid-Afrika, het op 1 Februarie 1995 sy amptelike Kaapstadse woning na die Morawiese sendingstasie "Genadendal" vernoem!. As rcde hiervoor is aangevoer dat Genadendal 'n simbooI van hoop vir Suid-Afrikaners is omdat daar by hierdie sendingstasie sedert sy stigting samewerking tussen mense van verskillende rassegroepe was wat hulleself deur nougesette selfopheffingsprogramme verbeter het. Dit is inderdaad nou meer as 250 jaar gelede dat die eerste professionele sendeling in Suid-Afrika, Georg Schmidt (1709-1785), in 1739 saam met 'n aantal Khoikhois in Baviaanspoort 'n nedersetting begin het wat in 1804 tot "GenadendaI" herdoop is en 'n model van godsdienstige en maatskaplike selfontwikkeling sou word.

  • Club Visits: Southern Cape, Western Cape, and West Coast
    Special Edition December 2019 Our Mission: To add valueSAMAASAMAASAMAA to your flying experience through communication, information, promotion, education, and the support ofnewsnews dialogue. Club visits: Southern Cape, Western Cape, and West Coast Boet Denysschen A former management committee member of the SAMAA used to say: “We don’t fly at SAMAA...we fly at clubs”. This is absolutely true, since the SAMAA office manages the administration of our association, correspondence, memberships, insurance, permits for airshows and fly- ins, proficiency recording, our newsletter, and any other issues. One function of the SAMAA office, is to facilitate the registration of our clubs and flying sites. Now, this is where the flying happens! The SAMAA management committee consists of five elected members, managing affairs like compliance, development, proficiencies, approvals, airspace, competitions and special interest groups, regulations, manuals of procedure, and, club matters. I was tasked two years ago with looking after club affairs, helping and advising clubs on best practice, and ensuring that our clubs create an environment where their members may operate in a safe and enjoyable environment. In the last two years, I have visited many SAMAA-registered clubs, in many parts of the country. I have met with club managements, and members, and you will have seen regular reports and photographs on these visits in the SAMAA News. Earlier this year, the SAMAA management committee tasked me with visiting clubs in the Southern and Western Cape. Since I’m based in Johannesburg, it did not make sense to visit only a handful of clubs, and to then at a later stage arrange another visit, and another.

  • Non-Metropolitan Residential Gated Developments in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
    The struggle to belong Dealing with diversity in the 21 st century urban settings. Amsterdam, 7 – 9 July 2011 Non-metropolitan Residential Gated Developments in the Western Cape Province, South Africa Manfred Spocter Paper presented at the International RC21 conference 2011 Session: No. RT7.1 ‘Gated communities’ from a global perspective Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) PO Box 320, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 7599 [email protected] Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Stellenbosch University Private Bag X1, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 7599 [email protected] Abstract Gated developments are a global phenomenon that has become an ubiquitous feature of the post-apartheid South African urban landscape. Gated developments and the privatisation of urban public space in South Africa has been the subject of academic scrutiny since the turn of the century. However, the vast majority of academic research the world over has tended to focus on gated developments as an urban phenomenon. There are very few international studies that investigate gated developments in the non-metropolitan locale and the topic is also unexplored in the South African context. This research attempts to address this research gap by investigating the locations of gated developments in non-metropolitan towns of varying sizes in the Western Cape and the conditions that favour its proliferation in towns. Security is a synonymous, central theme of gated developments. Thus, the security features in non-metropolitan gated developments are analysed – some non-metropolitan gated developments do not have gates! In addition, study also focuses on the security level index in each town and investigates the locational aspects of differing levels of security in various towns.
