Reuisitinq the Past: SOUTH AFRICA,"THE WORLD IN ONECOUNTRY" It would be impossible to understand the significance ofSouth Africa's current status and condition withoutbriefly revisiting its past.We begin with a snapshot of prehistoric South Africa,and move quickly into theone era that defines today's South Africa, the arrivalof European settlers. Beforewe delve into recent history, however, let's considersome prehistoric events that provide backgroundfor what the Europeans encounteredwhen they landed along theSouth African coast. South Africa's social historydates back approximatelythree million years. Fossils of Australopithecus, the anthropologicalmissing link betweenape and man, have been found in severalSouth African locations. Laterexplorations of remote caves, barren rocky highlands,and river beds, have uncoveredfurther evidence of early human life in South Africa.Evidence of Homo Astralopithecus,a distant relative of Homo sapiens anda later evolving species, Homo habilis, hasbeen found near Sterkfontein. Homo habilisis believed to have beenone of the earliest human inventors of stone tools. Thereis also evidence of the controlleduse of fire at some excavations as earlyas 1 1/2 million years ago. The oldest knownremains of anatomically modernman have been found at the mouth of the KlasiesRiver on the border between KwaZulu Natal and Swaziland.Their descendants became the hunter-gatherer San,or Bushmen, who lived in parts ofsoutwestern Africa 10,000 years ago. Over time the originalSan people were killed off,or absorbed, by other groups they encounteredas a result of their nomadic lifestyle. One suchgroup was the pastoral Khoikhoi,who are believed to havemigrated into southern Africa from what isnow Botswana, to the north. Their soledependence on cattle and fixed migratory practices leftthen very vulnerable to droughts,deseases, and European settlers' demand farland. Archaeologists believethat Bantu speakinggroups like the Tswana and Sotho-speaking people establishedIron Age communities in the Transvaal and northernNatal 1,500 yearsago. They domesticated animals, cultivated crops of grain and vegetables, andlived in settled communities. By the mid-14th century thesecommunities began to expandinto Ivhat later became the western Transvaal andOrange Free State. At thesame time, Nguni-speaking people began movingsouth and west into the EasternCape. A shortage of fresh water sources made all of these groups dependent on adequaterainfall for the survival of their crops and livestock. These smallgroups of early inhabitants lived inwell organized, politically and economicallyautonomous chiefdoms,a stivation that depended ona delicate balance between population size andavailable resources. Since the arrival and settlement of Europeansthe nation of South Africahas been riddled with strugglesof one group against another, strugglesover territory, natural resources, and power. kohandla ModnaROMANNwun ZIMBAB limn' GABORONE MariborWong rto Dana pa tmanstwo Van Zy lams reyvilleWV=ST . rine/ MBABAN Ppte.,APUT Fish Rivet tas.IKamm.

  • Calvinism in the Context of the Afrikaner Nationalist Ideology
    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 78, 2009, 2, 305-323 CALVINISM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE AFRIKANER NATIONALIST IDEOLOGY Jela D o bo šo vá Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia [email protected] Calvinism was a part of the mythic history of Afrikaners; however, it was only a specific interpretation of history that made it a part of the ideology of the Afrikaner nationalists. Calvinism came to South Africa with the first Dutch settlers. There is no historical evidence that indicates that the first settlers were deeply religious, but they were worshippers in the Nederlands Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church), which was the only church permitted in the region until 1778. After almost 200 years, Afrikaner nationalism developed and connected itself with Calvinism. This happened due to the theoretical and ideological approach of S. J.du Toit and a man referred to as its ‘creator’, Paul Kruger. The ideology was highly influenced by historical developments in the Netherlands in the late 19th century and by the spread of neo-Calvinism and Christian nationalism there. It is no accident, then, that it was during the 19th century when the mythic history of South Africa itself developed and that Calvinism would play such a prominent role in it. It became the first religion of the Afrikaners, a distinguishing factor in the multicultural and multiethnic society that existed there at the time. It legitimised early thoughts of a segregationist policy and was misused for political intentions. Key words: Afrikaner, Afrikaner nationalism, Calvinism, neo-Calvinism, Christian nationalism, segregation, apartheid, South Africa, Great Trek, mythic history, Nazi regime, racial theories Calvinism came to South Africa in 1652, but there is no historical evidence that the settlers who came there at that time were Calvinists.

  • A Look at the Coloured Community
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS JCB-10- A Look at the 16 Dan Pienaaz Road Coloued Commun_ ty Duzban, Nat al Republic of South Africa June 1st, 1962 Ir. Richard Nolte Institute of Current World Affairs 66 ladison Avenue New York 17, Iew York Dear ir. Nolte: There are many interesting parallels between the South African Coloured people and the Nnerican Negro. Each is a group today only because colour singles them out for dis- crimination. They each have developed a culture that has little in common with that of the tribal African. And perhaps their most striking s iw.ilarity'lies in their mutual desire for full cit.zenship in their respective countries. However, while the position of the Negro ]as improved considerably in the last fifteen years the opposite has been true in South Africa. e Coloured population has not yet reached tle toint where they have a strong group consciousness, nor do they have the hope of a national government implementing a consti- tution in which their rights are fully guaranteed. They lack what ot-er South African racial groups have and that is a distinct cultural identity of their own. Their culture is that of the White South African, especially the Afrikaner. Even the Cape Malays, who with trei: loslem faith are about the most 'foreign' of the Coloureds, speak Afrikaans. Because there is so little difference in culture, light skins have made possible easy entry into the hite community. One social worker estimates that in recent years 25,000 have left the Cape to establish White identities in the Transvaal.

  • 7.5. Identified Sites of Significance Residential Buildings Within Rosettenville (Semi-Detached, Freestanding)
    7.5. Identified sites of significance_Residential buildings within Rosettenville (Semi-detached, freestanding) Introduction Residential buildings are buildings that are generally used for residential purposes or have been zoned for residential usage. It must be noted the majority of residences are over 60 years, it was therefore imperative for detailed visual study to be done where the most significant buildings were mapped out. Their significance could be as a result of them being associated to prominent figures, association with special events, design patterns of a certain period in history, rarity or part of an important architectural school. Most of the sites identified in this category are of importance in their local contexts and are representative of the historical and cultural patterns that could be discerned from the built environment. All the identified sites were given a 3A category explained below. Grading 3A_Sites that have a highly significant association with a historic person, social grouping, historic events, public memories, historical activities, and historical landmarks (should by all means be conserved) 3B_ Buildings of marginally lesser significance (possibility of senstive alteration and addition to the interior) 3C_Buildings and or sites whose significance is in large part significance that contributes to the character of significance of the environs (possibility for alteration and addition to the exterior) Summary Table of identified sites in the residential category: Site/ Description Provisional Heritage Implications

  • The Evolution and Fall of the South African Apartheid State: a Political Economy Perspective•
    The Evolution and Fall of the South African Apartheid State: A Political Economy Perspective• John M. Luiz Abstract: The article reviews the history of state intervention in South Africa's political economy. Both the political and economic evolution of the apartheid state are traced. More imponantly, it appraises the erosion of the apartheid state from the 1970s onwards as a result of the growing costs of apartheid and the increasing challenges it faced as South African society became increasingly mobilized. This is evidenced in the rise of tax revolts, paramilitary forces, people's courts, crime rate, and the collapse of black local authorities. Finally, it evaluates the strength of the apartheid state and argues that it represents a strong state within a weak one. The state in effect had a schizoid existence possessing pockets of extraordinary strength but with its power being narrowly diffused. The result was the slow but steady collapse of the state that led to the negotiation of a new constitutional settlement from a position of weakness. l. lntroduction The "grand plan" of apartheid required enormous supremacy by the central agent, the state. The state fashioned almost every facet of South African life. Its intervention in the economy determined the course of industrialization and the character of social relations. It co-<>pted white suppon through rewards and enforced black compliance through its security system. Its disintegration in the last decade is not surprising. However, it is remarkable that the state was able to manage this complex system whilst simultaneously directing the transformation of the South African economy.

The young Afrikaners would wrap the orange, blue, and white flag around them as they sang along to van Blerk’s song “De La Rey.” It was a typical rock song, almost a military march with a catchy melody, but it was the lyrics that made the song a hit.
