' . t. c .-: . The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

  • Friends of Tokai Park Annual General Meeting
    Friends of Tokai Park Annual General Meeting 25 March 2021, Zoom Friends of Tokai Park Opening notes: Who are the FOTP? Our Vision Biodiversity • Community • Heritage • Safety Our goal is to conserve our natural plant and animal life at Tokai Park while promoting the park as a recreational gateway to our greatest natural asset and internationally-renowned World Heritage Site, Table Mountain National Park. Opening notes: 2021 and the UN Decade on Ecological Restoration “One of the biggest threats to conservation in the world, South Africa and in this case in Cape Town is public opinion. Biodiversity and the environment are often at odds with human interests. Whether it is resources such as rain forests, oil, habitable land, water resources, minerals, it is humans that prevail at the expense of the environment. In Cape Town there is an ever-increasing human population and pressure on land for housing primarily on the lowlands where CFSF is limited to its last 11%. One of the three most significant and richest remaining conservation parcels is Kenilworth which is privately owned and subject to increasing pressure to be developed. Standard legal environmental processes are being overridden by politicians in conflict with the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation to which South Africa is a signatory. Tokai is the other area where CFSF can survive but a significant pressure group is lobbying for the area to remain under pine plantation to satisfy their understanding of conservation and personal needs. These two areas may be the last chance in Cape Town to make significant contributions to saving the remnants of CFSF.

  • Table Mountain National Park Position Statement: Tokai and Cecilia Plantations
    Table Mountain National Park Position Statement: Tokai and Cecilia Plantations Date: 2016-08-30 The devastating March 2015 fires which burnt Upper Tokai plantation have refocused the public's attention on the future of the area. Over the past few months a range of letters, opinions, SMSs, advertisements and campaigns have been published and aired in the media and other platforms on the safety issue and status of remaining plantations in the Lower Tokai area of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). The facts pertaining to the harvesting of plantation trees are: 1. Tokai and Cecilia are not natural forests but commercial plantations established in the early 1900s by government to provide timber for industry. Fynbos was eradicated in these areas to make way for these plantations. 2. The decision to phase out commercial plantations on the Peninsula was not made by SANParks but by central government in 1999. As the then Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, stated in Parliament at the time “…a thorough, Cabinet endorsed process was followed that led to the decision to end commercial forestry at these locations, and assign the land to SANParks.” 3. The Minister also stated that it is not possible to revisit the decision to end commercial forestry as “…legal commitments are in place...” and “…neither is it considered desirable to do so.” 4. The plantations are not being removed because they are alien to the Cape; they are being harvested as a planted crop grown on a commercial basis. Furthermore, the plantations are not being harvested by SANParks but by a private company, MTO Forestry, which was awarded the public tender by then Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) in 2004.

TMNP-003-01 23 March 2007 Dear Stakeholder TOKAI CECILIA MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK: COMMENTS AND RESPONSE REPORT Please find attached the Tokai and Cecilia draft Management Framework Comments and Responses Report. The report provides firstly, an overview summary of the wide range of comments received on the draft Management Framework and secondly, lists the detailed responses by SANParks to specific comments. Subsequent to the closing date for comments on the draft Management Framework, approaches by the City of Cape Town, Dept. of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) and Dept. of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT), delayed the release of this report. Firstly, the Mayor of the City of Cape Town wished to establish a ‘roundtable’ of eminent persons to advise her on the relevant issues pertaining to Tokai and Cecilia. Secondly, DEAT and DWAF have been engaging SANParks on various management issues related to Tokai and Cecilia. The way forward will see the finalisation of the Management Framework based on this Comments and Responses report and on further interaction with the City, DWAF and DEAT. These interactions may affect the finalisation of the Management Framework and the intended completion date in early May 2007. It must be kept in mind that the Framework represents a long term vision for Tokai and Cecilia. It is a ‘framework for planning’ not a ‘plan for implementation’. What flows from the Management Framework are a series of more detailed ‘plans for implementation’ (ie precinct plans, landscape plans, rehabilitation plans etc) with appropriate stakeholder engagement in preparing these plans.

I see my grandmother sitting in her chair, grey hair escaping from under a white cotton scarf wrapped around her head; her fingers hold the thin steel hook wrapping cotton thread in elaborate patterns, making poor man’s lace, creating circles in the air to catch bad dreams. Her hands are never idle, weaving and spinning a livelihood to keep her family together, her work good enough for even white people, my father says, the patterns out of a secret book in her head dipped in starch and ironed to attention.
