She was a slave. She grew up alone, far away from her people and birthplace. She never owned property of her own except her children. As her story in the book will show, she was married off by someone who was not her father but who kept her as a slave. She never knew her parents; only late, by mere chance, her people discovered her, already a mother of children. Perhaps for me, her capture during the conflict between her people and the early Dutch settlers in South Africa was a blessing in disguise. Had she not been a slave, had she not been married to a Mosotho Chief by her slave master, I would not have come into the world in the form I did. I might not have come at all. It was because of the two episodes, her enslavement and marriage, that preparation for my coming life in the world started. I am a part of her and she is a part of me. I believe firmly that as long as I live, she lives. N.M. London 1970 .... ø .s - \ .-. tie I Family My name is Monyadioe Moreleba Naboth Mokgatle. I was born in a tribal village called Phokeng in the district of Rustenburg, Transvaal Province, South Africa, on the first of April nineteen-hundred and eleven. I was one of the three sons of Setihare Hebron and Salome Mokgatle, and the last-born in the family. My parents had eight children, three boys and five girls. I do not know when they married, but my mother told me that in eighteen-ninety-six, at the time when the Bafokeng tribe lost most of their cattle through cattle sickness which swept the tribe and the surrounding tribal lands, their first child, a daughter called Nkatlholeng, was a baby of about nine or twelve months. My mother was a Christian and my father was not. Because of that, their marriage was performed in both Christian and nonChristian traditions. The ceremony, according to my mother, was held in a Lutheran church at Hermannsburg Mission and at my father's home in the traditional way. My father's parents, like all African parents, paid bogadi (dowry) for their son's bride. Without the payment of bogadi, African law and tradition would not have recognised their union as a legal one. Nkatlholeng, my parents' first-born, was followed by twin sons who, like her, died before they reached the age of three or four years old. My mother and father did not tell me why they died so early, but I am sure that they did not die because of lack of medicine but that those who claimed to know how to cure the sick tried to cure them. My twin brothers were followed in nineteen-hundred by twin sisters who looked so much alike that many people in our village close relatives, my parents' brothers and sisters as well as their children - could not tell which was which. Their names were Molebopi and Madira, but they were known by their Christian names Maria and Martha. They grew up healthy and by the time Martha died in nineteentwenty-four she was engaged to be married. Maria remained alone and was very lonely, but in nineteen-thirty-three, nine years after Martha's death, she got married. In nineteen-hundred and four my mother gave birth to another daughter, named Majoni (soldiers), and her Christian name was Eva. She was born at the time when there were still movements of A* I British soldiers from the Anglo-Boer war in the country. She acquired the name of Soldiers because, according to my parents, on the day of her birth a large company of British soldiers passed through our village, from the north towards Rustenburg in the south, and some of them stopped to ask for water to drink. Majoni married before her sister Maria in nineteen-twenty-seven, and became the mother of six children. She died in nineteen-fifty-one, in Johannesburg, visiting her husband who was working there. She fell sick three days after her arrival, was taken to hospital, and five days later in hospital she died. I was living in Pretoria with my wife and two children, and one Thursday afternoon I received a telephone call from a friend informing me of my sister's death, which came to me as a surprise and a deep shock. I was at the time the general secretary of the African General Workers' Union in Pretoria. I left my office immediately and went first to an African location, called at the time Bantule or New Clare, on the south-west side of Pretoria, to tell my mother's cousin who lived there with her children, who were caring for her after her husband's death. From Bantule I hurried to where I lived, eight miles from the centre of Pretoria, at Atteridgeville, which the Africans called Phelindaba (the End of Worries), to tell my wife and to make preparations for both of us to leave for Johannesburg. We left our daughter and son, Keitumetse and Matshediso, with my wife's mother and left for Johannesburg. I was deeply worried, wondering why I did not know of my sister's sickness, only her death. In nineteen-hundred and eight, my parents welcomed the birth of their fifth daughter and named her Phelloe; when she was christened she was named Sannie. At that time my parents' children were all girls, and the chance of ever having a male child was beginning to fade away. The most worried person was my father, because he knew that if there was to be no male child born into the family his name would eventually disappear. Nevertheless, as time went on, my sister Phelloe became my father's favourite and that earned her jealousy and hatred from her sisters and myself when I joined them later. We suspected her as being father's spy and that she was at all times watching us, preparing a report for him.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT for the PROPOSED IKAROS SUBSTATION and ASSOCIATED 400 Kv TRANSMISSION LINE INFRASTRUCTURE, NORTH WEST PROVINCE
    02 April 2002 Dear I&AP, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED IKAROS SUBSTATION AND ASSOCIATED 400 kV TRANSMISSION LINE INFRASTRUCTURE, NORTH WEST PROVINCE As a registered Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) for the proposed Ikaros Substation and associated 400 kV Transmission line infrastructure project in the North West Province, this newsletter aims to further facilitate your understanding of the proposed project and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process being followed. The first phase of the EIA process (i.e. the Environmental Scoping Study) has been completed, and detailed studies are currently being undertaken within Phase 2 of the process (i.e. the EIA). The public participation process has been on-going throughout this process and will continue until the final EIA Report is submitted to the environmental authorities for decision-making. 1. REFRESHER: BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Eskom Transmission propose the construction of a new 400/132 kV substation (to be known as Ikaros Substation) on the eastern side of Rustenburg. This new substation will receive power from a 400 kV Transmission line looped in from the existing Matimba-Midas 400 kV line between Ellisras and Fochville. The primary purpose of the proposed project is to improve the reliability of the electrical supply to the towns of Brits, Marikana, Kroondal, Mooinooi and Rustenburg, as well as surrounding communities, farms, businesses, and the increasing number of platinum and chrome mines and smelters in the Rustenburg area. Electricity loads required by platinum and chrome mining and smelting in the Rustenburg area is expected to reach the combined firm capacities of the existing substations in the area (i.e.

    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Assistance Series HAROLD M. JONES Interviewed by: Self Initial interview date: n/a Copyright 2002 ADST Dedicated with love and affection to my family, especially to Loretta, my lovable supporting and charming wife ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inaccuracies in this book might have been enormous without the response of a great number of people I contacted by phone to help with the recall of events, places, and people written about. To all of them I am indebted. Since we did not keep a diary of anything that resembled organized notes of the many happenings, many of our friends responded with vivid memories. I have written about people who have come into our lives and stayed for years or simply for a single visit. More specifically, Carol, our third oldest daughter and now a resident of Boulder, Colorado contributed greatly to the effort with her newly acquired editing skills. The other girls showed varying degrees of interest, and generally endorsed the effort as a good idea but could hardly find time to respond to my request for a statement about their feelings or impressions when they returned to the USA to attend college, seek employment and to live. There is no one I am so indebted to as Karen St. Rossi, a friend of the daughters and whose family we met in Kenya. Thanks to Estrellita, one of our twins, for suggesting that I link up with Karen. “Do you use your computer spelling capacity? And do you know the rule of i before e except after c?” Karen asked after completing the first lot given her for editing.

  • 1 the Functions of Public Art in Post-Apartheid South
    THE FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC ART IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA Annette Sophia Pretorius A research report submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Johannesburg, 2006 1 ABSTRACT The aim of this research report is to explore the extent to which public art in post- apartheid, democratic South Africa may contribute both to urban regeneration and nation building as well as the extent to which contemporary African monumental public art could reflect African heritage and traditions (Nettleton 2003:3). Another issue that is explored is the role of patronage in determining the function of public art in post-apartheid South Africa. Case studies in the form of two examples of post-apartheid public, namely the Freedom Park and the Constitution Hill projects art are used to explore the functions of public art in South Africa. In summary this research report therefore analyses: • The nature and function of public art-historical issues; • The practical issues affecting the production of public art in post-apartheid South Africa; • The socio-political factors that mitigate for or against the ability of public art to function effectively in the post-apartheid South African context; and • How these functions feed into the broader issues of making a contribution in a demographically complex, post-apartheid South Africa. 2 Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university.

  • A Consideration of Widows' Testimonies
    PINS, 2017, 55, 38 – 60, http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2309-8708/2017/n55a4 “We do not want the Commission to allow the families to disappear into thin air”1: A consideration of widows’ testimonies at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Farlam (Marikana) Commission of Inquiry Abstract Cynthia Kros Using Gayatri Spivak’s famous question about whether History Workshop the “subaltern” can speak, this article addresses the University of the testimonies given to the Farlam Commission of Inquiry Witwatersrand by the widows of miners who had been killed in police Johannesburg shootings while engaged in an unprotected strike at Lonmin’s platinum mine at Marikana in August 2012. Keywords The widows were required to face down the dominant Mlangeni, TRC, Marikana, narrative disseminated by mine management and political widow, Farlam other business as well as state interests, which held Commission, Lonmin, that the police had acted in self-defence after the subaltern, narrative strikers had threatened to attack them. I argue that the widows consciously sought to undo the dominant narrative through their testimonies, assuming the role of a new kind of “political widow” as theorised by Mamphela Ramphele (1996). The article begins with a detailed consideration of the testimony of Sepati Mlangeni whose husband had been murdered by an agent of the apartheid state, delivered to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the 1990s. This sets the scene for the questions that might be asked and the observations made of the Marikana widows’ testimonies presented to the Farlam Commission almost twenty years later. 1 Nombulelo Ntonga, widow of Bongani Nqongophele Marikana (13 August 2014: 34913).
