University of Cape Town ‘A measure of civilization’ Let us always remember that our historical buildings are not only big tourist attractions… more than just tradition…these buildings are a visible, tangible history. These buildings are an important indication of our level of civilisation and a convincing proof for a judgmental critical world - that for more than 300 years a structured and proper Western civilisation has flourished and exist here at the southern point of Africa. The visible tracks of our cultural heritage are our historic buildings…they are undoubtedly the deeds to the land we love and which God in his mercy gave to us. 1 2 Fig.1.

Gouverneur-Generaals Van Nederlands-Indië in Beeld
JIM VAN DER MEER MOHR Gouverneur-generaals van Nederlands-Indië in beeld In dit artikel worden de penningen beschreven die de afgelo- pen eeuwen zijn geproduceerd over de gouverneur-generaals van Nederlands-Indië. Maar liefs acht penningen zijn er geslagen over Bij het samenstellen van het overzicht heb ik de nu zo verguisde gouverneur-generaal (GG) voor de volledigheid een lijst gemaakt van alle Jan Pieterszoon Coen. In zijn tijd kreeg hij geen GG’s en daarin aangegeven met wie er penningen erepenning of eremedaille, maar wel zes in de in relatie gebracht kunnen worden. Het zijn vorige eeuw en al in 1893 werd er een penning uiteindelijk 24 van de 67 GG’s (niet meegeteld zijn uitgegeven ter gelegenheid van de onthulling van de luitenant-generaals uit de Engelse tijd), die in het standbeeld in Hoorn. In hetzelfde jaar prijkte hun tijd of ervoor of erna met één of meerdere zijn beeltenis op de keerzijde van een prijspen- penningen zijn geëerd. Bij de samenstelling van ning die is geslagen voor schietwedstrijden in dit overzicht heb ik ervoor gekozen ook pennin- Den Haag. Hoe kan het beeld dat wij van iemand gen op te nemen waarin GG’s worden genoemd, hebben kantelen. Maar tegelijkertijd is het goed zoals overlijdenspenningen van echtgenotes en erbij stil te staan dat er in andere tijden anders penningen die ter gelegenheid van een andere naar personen en functionarissen werd gekeken. functie of gelegenheid dan het GG-schap zijn Ik wil hier geen oordeel uitspreken over het al dan geslagen, zoals die over Dirck Fock. In dit artikel niet juiste perspectief dat iedere tijd op een voor- zal ik aan de hand van het overzicht stilstaan bij val of iemand kan hebben. -
The First Episode of Formosa Church: Robertus Junius (1629-1643)

During East India Company’s administration in the island from 1624 till 1662, more than 30 ministers came to served there. Amongst them, the greatest missionary of Dutch Reformed Church was Rev. Robertus Junius. He was not the first minister served in Formosa, however due to missionary zeal as well as linguistic talent, he was able to baptized 5400 native inhabitants, established schools for Formosan children and youth during his 14 years of service in Formosa. Beside these establishments, Junius also compiled several contextualized versions of Formosan catechisms to teach native Christian, and his method can be defined as the first contextualization endeavor in Taiwan church history, a significant step for Taiwan theological reflection. -

A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt. -
Wiewaswie: Indexed Records Online Instructions
WieWasWie: Indexed Records Online The Netherlands” “How to” Guide, Beginning Level: Instruction April 2016 GOAL You will learn how to find records about your ancestors in the Netherlands and find documents associated with those records. INTRODUCTION WieWasWie is a collective database from numerous provincial, regional and city archives in the Netherlands and some of its former territories that includes over 100 million persons from many types of records. There is no fee to search the records, although one must have a paid subscription to search for two people at once or to use partial searches or wildcards. The most important record types for the beginning researcher include baptism, birth, marriage, death, and burial records. These records cover the period from the 17th into the 20th centuries. However, not all records in this time period are included. The critical date for Dutch research is 1811, when civil registration was imposed upon the Netherlands by the French. Before that time, church records are the primary source of records, although a few areas had already begun civil registration. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and that information is being added to the database. Most of the marriages from the civil registration time period (post-1811) have been indexed; however, many of the births and deaths have not. Coverage is much sparser prior to 1811. If you do not find your ancestor, it may be that his particular records have not been indexed yet. WieWasWie is available in Dutch and English. However, the researcher should know some Dutch terms. Use the key words list on the FamilySearch Wiki page, found at the following link: https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Netherlands_Language_and_Languages HOW TO Before you begin using the website WieWasWie, you must understand the following concepts about Dutch names. -

The appropriate permission and mandate for such a submission has now been attained, which has taken time. We feel is its imperative for the voice of the first indigenous people that are historically linked to the precinct be heard. This is an historical comment, as it will be the first time a legitimate, embodied and formal presentation on the TRUP be submitted by the Goringhaicona on this issue. Indeed, this can be said on behalf of the Goringhaiqua, from whom the Goringhaicona is derived, as inhabitants on the banks of the Liesbeeck, who fought the battle against the Portuguese Viceroy D’Almeida in 1510. The Goringhaicona includes within our history, figures such as Chief Trosoa, Austumato (Harry the Strandloper) and Krotoa. We trust this is in order, and deeply appreciate the opportunity to voice our comment.

Het voorafgaande deel eindigde met Simon van der Stel's terugkeer op het Kasteel na zijn groots opgezette en flink uitgevoerde tocht naar de Koperbergen. Hoe gaarne had de Kommandeur als gevolg ervan grote voordelen voor de Edele Compagnie gemeld! Maar het waarklik koperrijk gebied was wegens de verre afstand en de toenmalige middelen van vervoer van geen nut; zijn tocht is alleen voor ons van belang om de berichten over land en volk, in het biezonder de verhouding der Namaqua-hoofden tot hun volk, en om de pogingen de inboorlingen in vrede te doen leven. Vreedzaam verkeer met het binnenland, zonder betrokken te worden in de telkens weer uitbrekende onderlinge oorlogen, was voor de Compagnie van grote betekenis voor de veestapel en de vleeslevering aan de schepen. En dan bleef onuitroeibaar de overtuiging dat het binnenland goud bevatte en ook de hoop op levendig handelsver keer met machtige binnenlandse rijken behield men tot in het laatste vierde deel van de achttiende eeuw.
