Marble, 2.3 × 4.56 m (courtesy of VTM; photo Russell Scott) Description 81 Description The Battle of Vegkop is presented from inside a laager of covered wagons (fig. 5.1).126 Twenty-two Voortrekker men and women, all in formal dress, fight off, endure or succumb to an outside attack. The narrative is divided into three layers receding in space: eleven larger figures dominate the fore- ground; an equal number of smaller size defend the laager from directly behind the wagons; in the distance an army of half-naked Africans attacks the laager. With the exception of one who has been killed after forcing his way inside, only the heads and upper bodies of the attackers with their assegais, shields and clubs (knobkieries) are visible through the gaps on either side of the middle wagon. These are the attacking Ndebele, popularly referred to as Matabele at the time the Monu- ment was being designed, if indeed they were awarded a specific name at all.127 Larger even than the foreground groups, two figures stand, one on either side, facing inward to frame the Vegkop narrative, a woman on the left loading a muzzleloader, and a man on the right holding his gun, the Voortrekker leader Hendrik Potgieter. Seven women provide support for those fighting. On the left are two young women wearing kappies; one kneels to cast bullets, while the other reloads a gun with the newly made ammunition. The four assegais on the ground around them indicate their dangerous situation, although these weapons, like the others that strew the ground, appear more still life than life-threatening. In the centre two more young women care for a wounded man slumped on the ground; one kneels to bandage the ankle of his left leg, the other, wearing a richly adorned kappie, crouches behind him, the fabric of her skirt stretched across her thigh and buttocks, and her face turned away as though in grief. Her unusual pose, as she leans against the wounded man and cradles his left arm, creates an intimate closeness that suggests that he is a loved one. Just behind them in the centre another group of three people is staged. Two young bareheaded women holding guns frame a boy standing between them, identified as the young Paul Kruger. Although all three are engaged in reloading guns using powder horns, his importance is marked by his central position and frontal pose, as well as the big wagon wheel in the background which acts like a surrogate halo. Yet another woman strides swiftly towards the combat, her action and the deep brim of her kappie directing our gaze onto the battle that takes place in the background. Sheltered by three wagons positioned closely next to each other, the gaps thickly packed with thorn bushes, nine men and two women fight the Ndebele. To see over the wagons and fire on the attackers, they stand on a rough scaffold of planks supported on purpose-cut branches. At the left wagon, one Voortrekker shoots down attackers, another supports a falling comrade, wounded by a spear, and below them on the ground a youth crouches ready to fire on any intruders that might crawl through under the wagon, a dead black warrior already lying in front of him. Four more men fight from behind the centre wagon. On the left, one of them is precariously positioned between the two wagons to fire directly into the charging mass of attackers. In a brief moment of personal connection amidst the fighting, the second receives a reloaded muzzleloader from a young woman. The third man fires over the edge of the wagon cover, while the fourth uses his muzzleloader like a giant club, their guns in parallel as if to emphasise the Voortrekkers’ deadly firepower that will overcome such terrible odds. Behind the third wagon a man and a woman are both firing into the attackers. 126 For the place, see Raper, Möller and Du Plessis 2014, 526. 127 Many contemporary documents speak only of ‘kaffirs’. Following Laband (1995, 79–81) and others (e.g. Giliomee 2003, 162–163), we use the Zulu form ‘Ndebele’ when discussing the ‘Matabele’ people. Etherington (2001, xv–xvi, 256) sheds new light on the historical relationship of the two names: ‘When he [Mzilikazi] first appeared on the high- veld Tswana-speaking people called him king of the aliens – the “Matabele.” By the time he had relocated to Zimbab- we, some may have begun to use the Zulu form of that word, Ndebele. On the map sketched by … Adulphe Delegorgue [and published] in 1845, his name appears by the Limpopo River with the title “Roy des Ama Débelés”, the earliest approximation to King of the Ndebele appearing on any printed page.’ 82 5 Vegkop Figure 5.2: A2.

Pencil drawing, 25.4 × 38.1 cm (Coetzer 1947, 106) Coetzer’s early interest in the conflict at Vegkop – and possibly also in the upcoming project of the Voortrekker Monument and its visual narrative – is shown in a drawing made on 16 October 1936 for the hundred-year anniversary of the battle (fig. 5.4). His close-up view inside the Voortrekker laager focuses on a woman tending a wounded man with two distressed girls nearby, while another reloads a gun with bullets she has been making for a man who takes aim at the invisible Ndebele enemy beyond the wagons. In his sketches for the frieze, Coetzer extended the view to embrace a wider scene of the laager interior. We have two identical Coetzer designs for Vegkop, the reproduc- tion of the pencil drawing (fig. 5.2) and the same sketch annotated on or after 9 September 1937 (fig. 5.3), both almost purely linear, in contrast to his centenary drawing mentioned above (fig. 5.4). In the Historiese Komitee meeting on 4.9.1937 the following comment was offered: Vegkop. Rework this scene according to existing paintings. See amongst others, one of Vegkop.128 The painting referred to is most likely ‘Vechtkop’ by Heinrich Egersdörfer, made around 1900, which is also recommended as a model for this battle in Voorstelle, an early proposal (c. 1934) of histor- ical scenes for the frieze (fig. 5.5).129 Born in Germany, Egersdörfer (1853–1915) spent two decades 128 ‘Vegkop.

  • Aesthetic-Theological Perspectives on the Monumentalisation of Religion1
    Scriptura 114 (2015:1), pp. 1-13 http://scriptura.journals.ac.za GOD IN GRANITE? AESTHETIC-THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE MONUMENTALISATION OF RELIGION1 Johan Cilliers Practical Theology and Missiology Stellenbosch University Abstract In this article an introductory look is taken at the phenomenon of the monumentalisation of religion, particularly in view of its imperial expressions. The history and religious meaning of the Voortrekker Monument, situated outside Pretoria in South Africa, is outlined briefly as a case in point, followed by a number of aesthetic-theological perspectives on the notion of the monumentalisation of religion, using the keywords as lenses. The article concludes with a reflection on an art work by Argentinian born artist/architect Tomás Saraceno, entitled: ‘On Space Time Foam’. Key Words: Remembrance; Time; Space; Movement The Monumentalisation of Religion The erecting of sites of remembrance and/or spaces for ritual and religious reflection has been part and parcel of humanity since the dawn of time. Phenomena such as for example the rock paintings of dancing Khoi-San in Southern Africa, or the depiction of people, animals and symbols in the caves at Lascaux, France, clearly indicate that people felt the need to express their religious experiences concretely, and also to leave traces of these experiences for generations to come. The arrangement of the hundreds of portrayals at Lascaux in the unmistakable form of a place of worship at the very least indicates that religion and aesthetic expressions thereof initially

  • “Men of Influence”– the Ontology of Leadership in the 1914 Boer
    Journal of Historical Sociology Vol. 17 No. 1 March 2004 ISSN 0952-1909 “Men of Influence” – The Ontology of Leadership in the 1914 Boer Rebellion SANDRA SWART Abstract This paper raises questions about the ontology of the Afrikaner leader- ship in the 1914 Boer Rebellion – and the tendency to portray the rebel leadership in terms of monolithic Republicans, followed by those who shared their dedication to returning the state to the old Boer republics. Discussions of the Rebellion have not focused on the interaction between leadership and rank and file, which in part has been obscured by Republican mythology based on the egalitarianism of the Boer commando. This paper attempts to establish the ambitions of the leaders for going into rebellion and the motivations of those who followed them. It traces the political and economic changes that came with union and industrialization, and asks why some influential men felt increasingly alienated from the new form of state structure while others adapted to it. To ascertain the nature of the support for the leaders, the discussion looks at Republican hierarchy and the ideology of patri- archy. The paper further discusses the circumscribed but significant role of women in the Rebellion. This article seeks to contribute to a wider understanding of the history of leadership in South Africa, entangled in the identity dynamics of mas- culinity, class and race interests. ***** Man, I can guess at nothing. Each man must think for himself. For myself, I will go where my General goes. Japie Krynauw (rebel).1 In 1914 there was a rebellion against the young South African state.

  • Klerksdorp, Transvaal on the Banks of the Schoonspruit
    Chapter 10 – Klerksdorp, Transvaal On the Banks of the Schoonspruit Klerksdorp, the oldest town in the Transvaal, was founded in 1837 by the early Voortrekkers. 1 It lies on the Skoorspruit (Fair River) and was named after a certain Mr de Clerq who acted as secretary to the Voortrekker leader, Andries Hendrik Potgieter. It is situated some thirty miles from Potchefstroom. The country was still teeming with game. Large herds of Springbok, 2 Blesbok, 3 and Wildebeest 4 roamed the veld, while Hippopotami cavorted in the river which now meanders so peacefully through the Convent grounds. About 150 years ago elands 5 were shot on the hill overlooking the Convent. This hill is still known as “Elandsheuwel”. Snakes, too, were plentiful then; the early chronicle frequently relates incidents of dogs wrestling with cobras and puff adders until they succumbed to the reptiles’ venom; and how inguanas 6 came up from the river, “milked the cows, took toll of the eggs in the poultry roosts, killing hens and chickens.” Lions and leopards also lurked for their prey in the high grass, till at last they were driven away or shot. The first township consisted of only 25 plots and was known as “de Oude Dorp” (the old village). In 1886 gold was discovered nearby and a new township was started which soon overshadowed the other on the opposite bank of the stream, attaining such prosperity that it supported a Stock Exchange. Erratic deposits and difficulties in extracting the precious metal put an end to most of these activities. Its mining fortunes were, however, revived on the discovery that the Rand Gold Reef extended beyond Randfontein.

HUDSON Under the DireCtion of Dr. Mohammed Hassen Ali and Dr. Jared Poley ABSTRACT Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

These republics included Natal, Orange Free State and later Transvaal. However, these Boer republics were annexed by the British who kept on following them even up to the interior. SUMMARY REPUBLIC YEAR OF ANNEXED BY ANNEXATION Natal/ Natalia 1843 British Orange Free State 1848 British Transvaal 1851-1877 British THE ORIGIN / FOUNDATION OF THE REPUBLICOF NATAL 1. The republic of Natal was founded by Piet Retief’s group after 1838. 2. In 1838, the Trekkers met the Zulu leader (Dingane) and tried to negotiate for land. 3. Upon the above Trekker’s request, Dingane told the Trekkers under Piet – Retief to first bring back the Zulu cattle stolen by the Tlokwa chief Sekonyela. 4. Piet-Retief tricked Sekonyela and secured the cattle from Sekonyela, Dingane became suspicious because of the quickness of Retief. 5. But still Dingane did not trust the white men, he was worried and uneasy of their arms, he clearly knew and learnt of how whites had over thrown African chiefs. 6. So, Dingane organized a beer party were he called Piet Retief and some of his sympathizers and thereafter, they were all murdered. 7.
