Introduction The existence of a positive (self) image of a people is very important in the successful struggle for self-determination. An image can be constructed through various methods. This paper deals with the way in which an incorrect image of the Rehoboth Basters was constructed via the literature. Subjects that are considered interesting or popular, usually have a great number of different publications and authors. A large quantity of publications almost inevitably means that there is more information available on that specific topic. A large number of publications usually also indicates a great amount of authors who bring in many different views and interpretations.

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Word from the Founder and Director|
    2017 - 2020 IMPACT REPORT A word from the founder and director| In October 2017 as we were preparing to launch a collaborative " network of journalists dedicated to pursuing and publishing the work of other reporters facing threats, prison or murder, prominent Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was horrifically silenced with a car bomb. Her murder was a cruel and stark reminder of how tenuous the free flow of information can be when democratic systems falter. We added Daphne to the sad and long list of journalists whose work Forbidden Stories is committed to continuing. For five months, we coordinated a historic collaboration of 45 journalists from 18 news organizations, aimed at keeping Daphne Caruana Galizia’s stories alive. Her investigations, as a result of this, ended up on the front pages of the world’s most widely-read newspapers. Seventy-four million people heard about the Daphne Project worldwide. Although her killers had hoped to silence her stories, the stories ended up having an echo way further than Malta.

  • Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a Symbiotic Relationship Hidipo Hamutenya*
    Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a symbiotic relationship Hidipo Hamutenya* Introduction Namibia and Angola have much in common, but, at the same time, they differ greatly. For example, both countries fought colonial oppression and are now independent; however, one went through civil war, while the other had no such experience. Other similarities include the fact that the former military groups (Angola’s Movimiento Popular para la Liberacão de Angola, or MPLA, and Namibia’s South West Africa People’s Organisation, or SWAPO) are now in power in both countries. At one time, the two political movements shared a common ideological platform and lent each other support during their respective liberation struggles. The two countries are also neighbours, with a 1,376-km common border that extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Zambezi River in the west. Families and communities on both sides of the international boundary share resources, communicate, trade and engage in other types of exchange. All these facts point to a relationship between the two countries that goes back many decades, and continues strongly today. What defines this relationship and what are the crucial elements that keep it going? Angola lies on the Atlantic coast of south-western Africa. It is richly endowed with natural resources and measures approximately 1,246,700 km2 in land surface area. Populated with more than 14 million people, Angola was a former Portuguese colony. Portuguese explorers first came to Angola in 1483. Their conquest and exploitation became concrete when Paulo Dias de Novais erected a colonial settlement in Luanda in 1575.

  • The Taxation of Trusts in Sadc Member States
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Stellenbosch University SUNScholar Repository 2018 (2) StellLR 270 THE TAXATION OF TRUSTS IN SADC MEMBER STATES Izelle du Plessis BCom (Law) LLB LLM (Taxation) LLD (Stell) Senior Lecturer: Department of Mercantile Law, Stellenbosch University. 1 Introduction It is generally acknowledged that the trust1 originated in the English law.2 Yet, trusts are used (or at least recognised) in most jurisdictions worldwide.3 In fact, many Southern African Development Community (“SADC”) member states4 use trusts. Evidence of the use of trusts was found in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Perhaps this is not surprising, taking into account the influence of the English law on many of its former colonies.5 Despite a concerted effort, no indication could be found that trusts are used in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar or Mozambique. Although it may be possible that relevant information was missed due to language barriers,6 a more likely explanation is that trusts are unknown in these states, because the law in these states is based primarily on civilian principles, or were significantly influenced by civilian principles. Consequently, this articleis limited to a 1 For purposes of this article, the rather broad and general definition of a trust, as found in article 2 of Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition (adopted on 1 July 1985, entered into force 1 January 1992), will be used. This definition reads as follows: “For the purposes of this Convention, the term ‘trust’ refers to the legal relationships created – inter vivos or on death – by a person, the settlor, when assets have been placed under the control of a trustee for the benefit of a beneficiary or for a specified purpose.

  • 100 Years Since the End of German Colonial Rule in Namibia, The
    100 years since the end of German colonial rule in Namibia, the relationship between the former colonial power and the Namibian communities who were affected by its brutal colonial policies remains problematic, and interpretations of the past are still contested. This book examines the ongoing debates, conflicts and confrontations over the past. It scrutinises the consequences of German colonial rule, its impact on the descendants of victims of the 1904–08 genocide, Germany’s historical responsibility, and ways in which post-colonial reconciliation might be achieved. REINHART KÖSSLER is currently Director of the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute and Professor in the Politics Department of the University of Freiburg, Germany.

  • The Panama Papers and Investigative Journalism in Africa Lessons Learned from and About the Data
    3. The role of open data THE PANAMA PAPERS AND INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN AFRICA LESSONS LEARNED FROM AND ABOUT THE DATA LESSONS LEARNED PAPER Summary Governments are tasked to raise and spend tax revenues wisely to improve the lives of all citizens. However, all too often resources are allocated to the few and away from the many who are most in need. Such discrimination needs to be documented and made transparent. Opening up data can help to facilitate the process. Data can often tell us the basics: the who, what, where, when and why of financial transactions. And investigative reporters can use data to provide answers to these crucial questions, and to mobilise citizens and institutions to hold the offenders to account. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), together with the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other media partners, spent a year sifting through 11.5 million leaked files from the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca to expose the reported offshore holdings of world leadersand details of hidden financial dealings. The leaked data was commonly referred to as the Panama Papers. The African Network of Centers for Investigative Reporting (ANCIR), supported by funders such as the World Wide Web Foundation and Open Society Initiative of West Africa, coordinated and developed investigations in Africa. The Panama Papers project was the first time a major transnational investigation was coherently and collectively represented by journalists within the African countries being written about. This paper summarises the lessons learned from the African investigations of the Panama Papers, both in terms of what we learned about doing investigative data journalism in Africa and in terms of what those investigations revealed about the reported offshore holdings of the powerful and the deliberately complex governance structures allegedly set up to conceal the flow of money.
