The Local Historian and the Press* THE LOCAL HISTORIAN AND THE PRESS* Prof. D.M. Moore Department of History, University ofFort Hare INTRODUCnON Historical perspective A degree of relaxation of restrictive legislation, technical advancesin printing and paper making, and the increasing availability of education to the massesresulted in a proliferation of newspapers in both North America and Western Europe during the nineteenth century. This movement was echoed in the remote Cape Colony. Following the passing of the so-called .'Freedom Ordinance" (No. 60 of 1829) a number of newspapers were established in Cape Town and Grahamstown. Some of these ran for only a few editions, while others have survived in one form or another to the present day. Gradually other centres in the Colony began the production of their own weeklies or monthlies and by the middle of the nineteenth century there were 30 such publications in the Cape alone. By the end of the nineteenth century even the smaller centres could boast of a locally published newspaper.!

  • Strategic Military Colonisation: the Cape Eastern Frontier 1806 – 1872
    46 STRATEGIC MILITARY COLONISATION: THE CAPE EASTERN FRONTIER 1806–1872 Linda Robson* and Mark Oranje† Department of Town and Regional Planning, University of Pretoria Abstract The Cape Eastern Frontier of South Africa offers a fascinating insight into British military strategy as well as colonial development. The Eastern Frontier was for over 100 years a very turbulent frontier. It was the area where the four main population groups (the Dutch, the British, the Xhosa and the Khoikhoi) met, and in many respects, key decisions taken on this frontier were seminal in the shaping of South Africa. This article seeks to analyse this frontier in a spatial manner, to analyse how British settlement patterns on the ground were influenced by strategy and policy. The time frame of the study reflects the truly imperial colonial era, from the second British occupation of the Cape colony in 1806 until representative self- governance of the Cape colony in 1872. Introduction British colonial expansion into the Eastern Cape of Southern Africa offers a unique insight into the British method of colonisation, land acquisition and consolidation. This article seeks to analyse the British imperial approach to settlement on a turbulent frontier. The spatial development pattern is discussed in order to understand the defensive approach of the British during the period 1806 to 1872 better.

  • Heritage Scan of the Sandile Water Treatment Works Reservoir Construction Site, Keiskammahoek, Eastern Cape Province
    HERITAGE SCAN OF THE SANDILE WATER TREATMENT WORKS RESERVOIR CONSTRUCTION SITE, KEISKAMMAHOEK, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE 1. Background and Terms of Reference AGES Eastern Cape is conducting site monitoring for the construction of the Sandile Water Treatment Works Reservoir at British Ridge near Keiskammahoek approximately 30km west of King Williamstown in the Eastern Cape Province. Amatola Water is upgrading the capacity of the Sandile WTW and associated bulk water supply infrastructure, in preparation of supplying the Ndlambe Bulk Water Supply Scheme. Potentially sensitive heritage resources such as a cluster of stone wall structures were recently encountered on the reservoir construction site on a small ridge and the Heritage Unit of Exigo Sustainability was requested to conduct a heritage scan of the site, in order to assess the site and rate potential damage to the heritage resources. The conservation of heritage resources is provided for in the National Environmental Management Act, (Act 107 of 1998) and endorsed by section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA - Act 25 of 1999). The Heritage Scan of the construction site attempted established the location and extent of heritage resources such as archaeological and historical sites and features, graves and places of religious and cultural significance and these resources were then rated according to heritage significance. Ultimately, the Heritage Scan provides recommendations and outlines pertaining to relevant heritage mitigation and management actions in order to limit and

  • THE 19Th CENTURY EXPERIENCE of ONE MFENGU COMMUNITY THROUGH the EYES of HISTORIANS and CONTEMPORARIES
    THE MFENGU REVISlTED: THE 19th CENTURY EXPERIENCE OF ONE MFENGU COMMUNITY THROUGH THE EYES OF HISTORIANS AND CONTEMPORARIES This is not the paper I originally set out to write, which was intended to deal with one or two quite specific matters in the story of the Mfengu community living in two adjacent rural locations named Oxkraal and Kamastone near the village of Whittlesea in the Queenstown district of the eastern Cape Colony. Instead, I have decided to set down some of that history against the background of present debate and of a persistent orthodoxy which has influenced historical writing. In most writing about African agriculture in the eastern Cape Colony during the second half of the nineteenth century, the Mfengu are celebrated as examplars of keen and proficient cultivators.[l] I do not intend to challenge this view more than indirectly today, for there is undoubtedly much in favour of it; instead, I want to draw attention to certain factors which support that way of thinking about the Mfengu to the point of over-legitimizing it, allowing a measure of contemporary myth to gain respectability as reality in historians' texts and in one of the most popularly-read books offering panaceas for modem South Africa's ills. There, "The Mfengu- natural entrepreneurs", is the introduction to a few pages which survey the decline of African agriculture. But the book as a whole tends not to acknowledge fully the major structural difficulties which South African capitalist development placed in the way of rural Africans' freedom of decision and action, or which forced a large proportion of Africans to participate in the market to the detriment of their own adequate subsistence.[2] Clarity in these matters will have to be found without much help from oral evidence.

    SFD Promotion Initiative Amathole District Municipality Eastern Cape, South Africa SFD Lite Final Report This SFD Lite Report was created through field-based research by Emanti Management for a Water Research Commission project and as part of the SFD Promotion Initiative. Date of production: February 2019 Last update: February 2019 Amathole District Municipality Produced by: Executive Summay South Africa EMANTI SFD Lite Report The SFD Promotion Initiative (SFD PI) has developed recommended methods and tools for preparing SFD Graphics and Reports. A full SFD Report consists of the SFD Graphic, the analysis of the service delivery context and enabling environment for service provision in the city for which you are preparing your SFD, and the complete record of data sources used. This analysis allows a systemic understanding of excreta management in the city, with evidence to support it. As a starting point (first step stone) to this (explained in detail in the SFD Manual), the SFD Lite is a simplified reporting template that summarises the key information about the excreta management situation in the city. SFD Lite Report Amathole District Municipality, South Africa, 2018 Produced by: Thabisa Manxodidi, Emanti Unathi Jack, Emanti ©Copyright The tools and methods for SFD production were developed by the SFD Promotion Initiative and are available from: www.sfd.susana.org.
