A Survey of a Survey of Race Relations in South Africa A SURVEY OF A SURVEY OF RACE RELATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA 1966 Compiled by MURIEL HORRELL Research Officer South African Institute of Race Relations I SOUTH AFRICAN INSTITUTE OF RACE RELATIONS P.O. BOX 97 JANUARY, 1967 JOHANNESBURG ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer would like to express her sincere gratitude to all those who helped in the preparation of this Survey, in particular to Mr. Quintin Whyte, who read the major portion of the manuscript and made valuable suggestions for its improvement. Others were kind enough to comment on sections of the typescript: they included Miss Margaret Marshall and Mr. Antony Scott. Many people gave most generous help in contributing material, supplying information, or replying to questions. Among them were Members of Parliament of various parties, officials of numerous Government and Municipal Departments (including those in the Transkei), the Registrars of the Universities and University Colleges and of the M. L. Sultan Technical College, the Ven. E. Arden, the Athlone Advice Office, Mr. F. E. Auerbach, Prof. H. I. Behrmann, the Rt. Rev. E. Crowther, the Diamond Fields Advertiser, Mrs. B. Israel, the Johannesburg Legal Aid Bureau, Mr. Peter R. Randall, Mrs. Jean Sinclair, Mr. G. W. Tabor, and the library of the University of the Witwatersrand. Any publication of the Institute of Race Relations represents a team effort. Particular thanks are due to Mrs. A. Honeywill, who put in much overtime seeing the manuscript through the Press; but a very great deal of help was given, too, by the Institute's administrative, clerical, and library staff at Head Office, and by members of staff of Regional Offices. The writer's thanks are extended, too, to the printers, the Natal Witness (Pty) Ltd. NOTES Period covered This Survey is stated to be for the year 1966. As it was wished to have it published in January 1967, however, it was impossible to include mention of events that occurred during the closing weeks of the year. This will be done in the next issue. Dates All dates mentioned refer to the year 1966 unless otherwise stated.

  • THE HISTORY of the PIETERSBURG [POLOKWANE] JEWISH COMMUNITY by CHARLOTTE WIENER Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements
    THE HISTORY OF THE PIETERSBURG [POLOKWANE] JEWISH COMMUNITY by CHARLOTTE WIENER Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject JUDAICA at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: MR CEDRIC GINSBERG NOVEMBER 2006 SUMMARY Jews were present in Pietersburg [Polokwane] from the time of its establishment in 1868. They came from Lithuania, England and Germany. They were attracted by the discovery of gold, land and work opportunities. The first Jewish cemetery was established on land granted by President Paul Kruger in 1895. The Zoutpansberg Hebrew Congregation, which included Pietersburg and Louis Trichardt was established around 1897. In 1912, Pietersburg founded its own congregation, the Pietersburg Hebrew Congregation. A Jewish burial society, a benevolent society and the Pietersburg-Zoutpansberg Zionist Society was formed. A communal hall was built in 1921 and a synagogue in 1953. Jews contributed to the development of Pietersburg and held high office. There was little anti-Semitism. From the 1960s, Jews began moving to the cities. The communal hall and minister’s house were sold in 1994 and the synagogue in 2003. Only the Jewish cemetery remains in Pietersburg. 10 key words: 1] Pietersburg [Polokwane] 2] Zoutpansberg 3] Anglo-Boer War 4] Jew 5] Synagogue 6] Cemetery 7] Rabbi 8] Hebrew 9] Zionist 10] Anti-Semitism ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following: Mr Cedric Ginsberg, my supervisor, for his invaluable assistance, patience and meticulous corrections The late Mr Wally Levy for his information concerning families and events in the Northern Transvaal. His prodigious memory was extremely helpful to me My husband Dennis and children Janine, Elian and Mandy, for their patience with my obsession to finish this thesis.

  • LIMPOPO © for The2010worldcup, Besure Toalsogetoutoftown
    © Lonely Planet 482 Limpopo If South Africa’s northernmost province sounds familiar, it could be from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, in which the curious young elephant treks to ‘the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever trees’. While Kipling’s pachyderm unintentionally gains a trunk, curious humans might, similarly, cross Limpopo to access Kruger National Park and stumble upon the less-visited Valley of the Olifants. The subtropical area packs in misty Magoebaskloof, where waterfalls crash in the forests, and mysterious Modjadji, home of rain-summoning queens and Modjadji palms (cycads). The mystique continues in the Venda region, a traditional area where a python god is believed to live in Lake Fundudzi, and artists produce highly original work. And that’s just to the east of the N1. To the west, attractions include the Waterberg, where the Big Five, the endangered Cape vulture and, yes, fever trees are found in the mountains. Heading north from there, the savannah gives way to the Soutpansberg, an island of biodiversity with 540 bird species, and secluded lodges at the top of steep tracks. Then the baobab trees appear, and the empty roads lead to Mapungubwe National Park, where the remains of a millennium-old civilisation overlook the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. With icons ranging from Mapungubwe’s gold-plated rhino figurine to ‘Breaker’ Morant, the second Anglo-Boer War folk hero, Limpopo is an extraordinarily diverse province. If one thing unites its tourist operators, including Fair Trade lodges and art or birding routes, it’s that they offer visitors something completely different.

  • South Africa's Land Reform in Historical Perspective
    South Africa’s Land Reform in Historical Perspective: Land settlement and agriculture in Mopani District, Limpopo, 19th century to 2015 Michelle Hay A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Johannesburg, August 2015. Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It has been submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university. Signed Michelle Hay, August 2015 i Acknowledgements I first began to seriously imagine myself as a historian during one of Peter Delius’s fascinating lectures on pre-colonial South African history. Peter’s encouragement to follow that path led me to do my honours, masters and PhD. As my supervisor he has been intellectually stimulating and challenging, and given me enormous support. I may not have finished, and certainly would not have enjoyed the research and writing as much as I did, without Peter’s mentorship and friendship. I cannot thank him enough. Ripfumelo Mushwana, my research assistant, interpretor and friend, helped me to interview people but also taught me a lot about being young in Mopani district today. Without her and her impressive diplomatic skills, I would not have been able to conduct such an interesting range of interviews, with so little stress. Thanks to her and her partner Jonas also for welcoming me into their home. Many people allowed me to interview them and taught me a lot.
