Emancipatory Politics and the Mpondo Revolts Emancipatory Politics and the Mpondo Revolts by Sarah Bruchhausen Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History at RHODES UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: Dr Nicole Ulrich 7th June 2016 Abstract This thesis aims to offer a revised view of the Mpondo revolts. The central theoretical concept of the thesis is that of emancipatory politics. Drawing predominantly on archival sources the primary concern of the thesis is to expose and interrogate certain aspects of this historical moment of popular politics which can be seen as emancipatory. In particular the notions of egalitarianism and universal human dignity will be analysed in relation to the popular political subjectivities, formations and praxes of the Mpondo revolts. In so doing this thesis attempts to make a meaningful contribution to present day debates concerning alternative theories of human emancipation by showing what emancipatory politics looked like historically and in practise within the context of the Mpondo revolts. ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work and that all sources I have quoted or used have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. Sarah Bruchhausen 7th June 2016 iii Acknowledgments To Dr Nicole Ulrich my supervisor. Without your incredible support and guidance this thesis would not have been possible. Thank you for your incredible patience and tireless engagement with my work. Through your supervision I have been introduced to concepts, theories and histories which have allowed me to grow as both a historian and a human being. I will forever be grateful for the way in which you have helped me find my own intellectual path and the values you have helped to instil in me as a historian. I would also like to thank Prof Michael Neocosmos and all the intellectuals at UHURU without whom this thesis would not have been possible. To the Melon foundation for funding my Masters degree as part of UHURU and to the previous Dean of Humanities at Rhodes University, Professor Fred Hendricks, for funding my research trip to Mpondoland in 2013, I am very grateful. To the archivists at the Cape Town National Archives Repository I extend my thanks for all their help in guiding me through the process of dealing with archival materials under difficult time constraints. To Prof Thembela Kepe and Prof Noor Nieftagodien thank you both so much for the insightful comments and corrections you provided me as examiners for this thesis. While I have not been able to address all of the concerns you both raised within the constraints of this thesis I will use these valuable critiques and insights you have provided me in order to take the project of thinking emancipatory politics and South African rural resistance history forward. And finally, to my partner George Barrett, my family and my friends for whose support and guidance I will be forever thankful. iv Abbreviations AAC - All African Convention AbM - Abahlali base Mjondolo ANC -

  • Natural and Supernatural: Intersections Between the Spiritual and Natural Worlds in African Witchcraft and Healing with Reference to Southern Africa
    Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology, Volume 7, Edition 1 May 2007 Page 1 of 10 Natural and Supernatural: Intersections Between the Spiritual and Natural Worlds in African Witchcraft and Healing with Reference to Southern Africa by T. S. Petrus and D. L. Bogopa Abstract For generations, African beliefs and practices regarding witchcraft and traditional healing have been located at the intersection between the natural world and the supernatural world. Despite the impact of both colonialism and, in the contemporary context, modernization, the complex interplay between these worlds has not been reduced. The interaction between nature and religion, as a facet of culture, has long been a subject of inquiry in anthropology, and nowhere is this more evident than in the study of African witchcraft and traditional healing. A distinct relationship exists between witchcraft beliefs and traditional healing methods. This relationship brings these two aspects of African culture together in such a complex manner that it is difficult to attempt to understand the dynamics of African witchcraft without referring to traditional healing methods, and vice versa. In this paper, the authors outline the various ways in which African witchcraft beliefs and practices, as well as traditional healing beliefs and practices, interact within the nature/culture domain. This interaction will be conceptualised in a Merleau-Pontian sense, focusing on the indeterminacy of the natural and supernatural worlds. In its presentation of an essentially anthropological case study focused on southern Africa, the paper draws on various ethnographic examples of African communities in the southern African context. Introduction among Neolithic cultures that religion and nature would develop an important and complex The study of the interaction between nature and interrelationship.

In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors.

  • Community-Based Tourism and Local Culture: the Case of the Amampondo
    https://doi.org/10.25145/j.pasos.2012.10.017 Vol. 10 Nº 1 págs. 173-188. 2012 www.pasosonline.org Opiniones y ensayos Community-based tourism and local culture: the case of the amaMpondo Andrea Giampiccoli i North-West University (South Africa) Janet Hayward Kalis Walter Sisulu University (South Africa) Abstract: Tourism, managed constructively, can play a role in poverty alleviation and community development. This paper suggests ways in which Community-based tourism (CBT) can be used as a strategy to develop poor communities. Looking at the specific social context of contemporary rural Mpondoland, which is characterised by high degrees of poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition and unem- ployment, the paper considers ways in which local culture itself can contribute towards positive CBT outcomes. Local culture is not only seen as a tourism attraction, but also a resource upon which CBT development can be built. This paper considers various ways in which the local cultural context can be linked to CBT development, thereby enhancing the CBT development process. Keywords: Community-Based Tourism; Rural Mpondoland; Community Development; Local Cul- ture; Livelihood strategies. Título: Turismo de base comunitaria y cultura local: el caso de amaMpondo Resumen: El turismo llevado a cabo de una forma constructiva puede jugar un importante papel en el desarrollo de las comunidades y en el alivio de la pobreza. Este artículo presenta distintas formas en las que el turismo basado en las comunidades (TBC) puede usarse como estrategia para el desarrollo de comunidades pobres. Basándonos en el contexto social actual del medio rural de Mpondoland, caracterizado por altos niveles de pobreza, analfabetismo, malnutrición y desempleo, este trabajo considera diferentes aspectos en los que la cultura local puede contribuir positivamente al TBC.

  • The Complexity of Community Building and Identity Formation in the 19Th and 20Th Centuries: Case Studies from South Africa and the Americas
    April. 2014. Vol. 3, No.8 ISSN 2307-227X International Journal of Research In Social Sciences © 2013-2014 IJRSS & K.A.J. All rights reserved www.ijsk.org/ijrss THE COMPLEXITY OF COMMUNITY BUILDING AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES: CASE STUDIES FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND THE AMERICAS Nokuthula Cele Culture and Heritage Tourism, University of KwaZulu-Natal, School of Social Sciences, Durban, South Africa. Abstract Community building, as opposed to ethnicity, seems more appropriate as a unit of analysis in the study of human settlements in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), the Americas and elsewhere in the 19th and 20th centuries. The KwaMachi chiefdom, in the far south of KwaZulu-Natal (one of the provinces in the north east of South Africa), and other cases in the United States are being used in this essay as examples to show how complex community building has always been. Analysis of the processes of community building in KwaZulu-Natal and the Americas shows that it is often difficult to categorize people along a single line. People of various backgrounds in the regions influenced the development of their own communities. Locating my case studies of KwaZulu-Natal and the Americas within this context, I argue that official and rigid distinctions are not completely dominant due to ongoing interaction through migrations, creation and shifting of identity boundaries, and other alliances, all of which clouded and undermined ethnic homogenization. Human settlements have been shaped by diverse socio-cultural transformations in which multiple identities operated in parallel and intersecting lines, where cultures were modified as people incorporated many cultural elements at local level.

  • Simbimba Ndlela 1982] 1
    [ Simbimba Ndlela 1982] 1 STILL TO ADD LEFT-OUT PAGES (A2) SIMBIMBA NDLELA - SYNOPSIS (PB) Editor's note We have reproduced in this volume two interviews conducted with Simbimba Ndlela. The first was conducted at the behest of the late Swazi King, Sobhuza II. The second interview, conducted over two days, some months apart was conducted by Carolyn Hamilton. Simbimba Ndlela's narrative poses tremendous difficulties for the first time reader, but in the opinion of the editors is especially rich in historical detail. In particular, Simbimba Ndlela's narrative is marked by a distinctive narrative style. We have retained his style of narrative at the expense of facilitating a reading of the text. To help the reader, we have provided an especially long synopsis. This interview contains information not previously known to the others present at the interview, who include in their number three of the most knowledgeable about Swazi history. It is also interesting among other things because of disputes between the interviewers and the interviewee over the burial sites of early Swazi kings and the status of Ndvungunye, the father of Somhlolo. The chronological beginning of Simbimba's account is the reign of King Mswati. Mswati ruled at Mtomazi at Bhaca in Mzimkhulu at the place of the Mpondo people. The location of these places are not made clear in the interview, but they have southern connotations and they might be located in the Matubatuba region. The home of Ludvonga's chief wife, and is close to the site of Ntjumbili ngwelele. After being warned that a Zulu (in this case probably an Ndwandwe king) was about to force Mswati to teach him the secrets of the incwala, Mswati fled, skirting the Lubombo mountains until he reached Mavaneni in the area of Ngogweni at Mangwaneni probably on the eastern [re: illegible] of the Phongolo River in the vicinity of Kosi Bay.
