  • The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia
    Photo-essay The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia George Steinmetz and Julia Hell Colonial memories and images occupy a paradoxi- cal place in Germany. This is due in part to the peculiarities of German colo- nial history, but it also reflects another aspect of German exceptionalism — the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust. In recent years German colonialism in Southwest Africa (Namibia) has been widely discussed, especially with respect to the attempted extermination of the Ovaherero people in 1904. For reasons explored in this article, these discussions of Germany’s involvement in Southwest Africa have created new and unexpected discursive connections that are reshap- ing colonial memories in both Germany and Namibia. One possible outcome could be a belated decolonization of the landscape of colonial memory in both countries. Postwar Germany was long preoccupied with its National Socialist prehistory; the German colonial past has only started to come into focus more recently.1 The years 2004 – 5 saw numerous commemorative events around the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Namibian Ovaherero people and the completion of the controversial Berlin Holocaust Memorial. On one level this is mere coinci- dence. At the same time, there is an increasing entanglement of these two central political topics. But little research has been done on the visual archive of German colonialism, in contrast to the extensive studies made of the public circulation of Thanks to Johannes von Moltke for helping us with the research into the November 2004 von Trotha – Maherero meeting. 1. For a discussion of the ways in which the formerly divided country’s Nazi past was thematized anew after 1989, see Julia Hell and Johannes von Moltke, “Unification Effects: Imaginary Land- scapes of the Berlin Republic,” in “The Cultural Logics of the Berlin Republic,” ed.

Signature: Summary As the first comprehensive work on the German colonial settler newspapers in Africa between 1898 and 1916, this research project explores the development of the settler press, its networks and infrastructure, its contribution to the construction of identities, as well as to the imagination and creation of colonial space. Special attention is given to the newspapers’ relation to Africans, to other imperial powers, and to the German homeland. The research contributes to the understanding of the history of the colonisers and their societies of origin, as well as to the history of the places and people colonised.

Finally, the study carries out a democratic audit of Namibia using Swedish normative tools. 1 Acknowledgements The last few years have been tumultuous but exciting. Now, the academic atmosphere that provided a valuable anchor, too, must be hauled up for journeys beyond. The end of this most enjoyable academic challenge has arrived, but I cannot look back without a sense of loss - loss of continuous joys of discovery and academic enrichment. I would like to thank my supervisor, Lionel Cliffe, for his incredible support.

  • Mandume Ya Ndemufayo's Memorials in Namibia
    MANDUME YA NDEMUFAYO’S MEMORIALS IN NAMIBIA AND ANGOLA By: Napandulwe Shiweda A minithesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Artium in the Department of History, University of the Western Cape. Supervisor: Dr Patricia Hayes 15 November 2005 i KEYWORDS Colonization History Ovakwanyama Chief Resistance Memory Namibia Angola Hero Postcolonial ii ABSTRACT Mandume has fought two colonial powers, Portugal and British-South Africa from the time he became king in 1911 to 1917. This thesis looks at the different ways in which Mandume ya Ndemufayo is remembered in Namibia and Angola after these countries had gained their independence from colonialism. His bravery in fighting the colonizers has awarded him hero status and he is considered a nationalist hero in both Namibia and Angola. However, he is memorialized differently in Namibia and Angola. The process of remembering Mandume in different ways is related to where his body and head are buried respectively. This is because there is a belief that his body was beheaded, and his head was buried in Windhoek (under a monument) while the rest of his body is buried in Angola. The monument that is alleged to host his head is claimed to belong to him to this day. However, this monument was erected for the fallen South African troops who died fighting him. I argue that this belief was in response to the need to reclaim a monumental space to commemorate Mandume in the capital city. In the postcolonial Namibia and Angola, Mandume is memorialized at Heroes Acre and Mandume Memorial respectively.

  • Brief Chronology of the Police Zone Border, Key Dates, and Proclamations
    APPENDIX Brief Chronology of the Police Zone Border, Key Dates, and Proclamations 1896/97, establishment of a cordon to prevent the incursion of rinderpest into central Namibia and the emergence of the concept of a colonial veterinary border. 1905, German Reichstag demands a resolution confirming that police protection in the colony will be limited to economically useful regions, marking the emergence of the concept of a European settlement border. 1907, a Police Zone boundary for the entire colony is cartographically defined for the first time with a blue line. Proclamation of three game reserves. 1916 (Martial Law Regulation No. 57), the northern section of the German Police Zone border is adopted, with minor adjustments, effectively closing the entire northern part of the colony to “Europeans.” 1919, the Prohibited Areas Proclamation (Martial Law Proclamation No. 15) confirms the closure of the Police Zone border of 1916. 1924, the northern districts are reopened for livestock export (Government Notice No. 94 of 1924), and the Police Zone border becomes a combined veterinary and settlement border. 1925, the Police Zone border is indicated on detail maps (1:500,000) with a thickly drawn redlineforthefirsttime. 1926, the entire Police Zone border is identified as the Red Line on the survey map of 1926 (1:800,000). 1928, the Prohibited Areas Proclamation (Proclamation No. 26 of 1928) provides the first precise written definition of the Police Zone border. The location of the border is determined by the farm borders on-site. 1930 (Government Notice 178 of 1930), first law on the creation of a stock-free zone (applicable to cattle and dogs) between the Police Zone and Kaoko.

A few minutes after midniqht, early in the morning of Wednesday, March 21, the South Afriean tlaq was lowered. The new Namibian !lag, blue, gold, red, whito, and green, was raised in its place. Thus ended 75 years of South African occupation and over a century of foreiqn rule.

Later in the day, in separate ceremonies, the members of the National Assembly, the Chief Justice, and members of the Cabinet were sworn in. Namibia's government is in place. The situation in the country continues to be peaceful and calm. People are relaxed and happy. The country has had good rains in March, inclUding a heavy shower in Windhoek a few hours before the independence ceremonies. The rains are seen as an independence blessing from God. In the far north of the country, it has been seven years since rains have come in March. The local farmers expect a bountiful harvest. INDEPENDENCE.
