  • Different Perspectives in Researching Genealogy by Abrie De Swardt - Chairman of the Southern Cape Branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa
    Different perspectives in researching Genealogy by Abrie de Swardt - Chairman of the Southern Cape Branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa. Introduction. The family research enthusiast can follow various approaches , when they delve into family history. Some use a story line, for example the story of a ring, inherited by the latest in the line of daughters. She has the same names as the original ancestor, coming from the early 1800's of the previous millennium. A second approach may have history as departing point like the family-history of genl Jan Smuts, born in Riebeek-West in the Western Cape, to eventually become Chancellor of Cambridge, Prime Minister of South Africa, and member of the British War Cabinet during both the first and second World Wars(1914-1919) and (1939-45). It can also be looked at from a political perspective, for instance the relationship between the Smuts and Malan-families, both from Riebeek-West in the Western Cape, both becoming Prime Ministers of South-Africa. The location and family connection is a third possibility. Prof. Christiaan Neethling Barnard, famous doctor and professor from Groote Schuur Hospital, and the University of Cape Town, fitted into the genealogy of the de Swardt-family from Gwayang, George. In the fourth instance, it may have a church related bearing, for example the role that the de Swardt- family played in the Dutch Reformed Church in George from its establishment in 1813. Guillaume de Swardt (53 years) and his wife, Anna Sophia Weyers (39 years) were the first persons to be adopted in the church on 30 April 1813.

  • Thesis. (5.677Mb)
    THE MORNING HAS COME BUT IT IS STILL DARK BRENDON BARNES A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree ofMaster of Social Science (Research Psychology) in the School ofPsychology, University OfNatal, Pietennaritzburg. January, 1999 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the players whom I interviewed. It is through them and their undying devotion to rugby that I was inspired to do this thesis. I would like to thank Dr. Kevin Durrheim, my supervisor, for his inspiration and patience in helping me through the study. Ingrid Palmary who through her consistency and tenacity in dealing with her thesis provided me with a role model to look up to. I would also like to thank my parents for putting up with my endless hours ofthesis talk and for always being there during my emotional times ofneed. The financial assistance ofthe Mellon Foundation as well as the Centre for Science and Development (CSD) is gratefully acknowledged. ABSTRACT Racism in sport has progressed from being blatant during Apartheid to being subtler in the 'New South Africa'. Using discourse analysis, this thesis focuses on how subtle racism reveals itselfthrough the 'development' programme in rugby. 'Development' players are constructed as racially inferior to white rugby players. The white institution of rugby is portrayed as a philanthropic organisation whose aim is to 'help' 'development' players raise their levels ofskill. In this way, white rugby is constructed as being 000­ racist. By locating 'development' subjects as being inferior, and disguising this with philanthropy, the 'development' programme serves to reproduce the oppressive power relations between whites and blacks involved in rugby as it was during Apartheid.
