Years of Beading 1 Maria Ratschitz Catholic Mission The First Crafts The Mdukatshani Bead Project was never planned. It happened almost accidentally, a small part of an ecumenical organisation called Church Agricultural Projects (CAP) which was then based on Maria Ratschitz Catholic Mission near Wasbank, KwaZulu-Natal. CAP was founded in 1965 to develop derelict church land to produce food and training for rural African communities, but this changed when the apartheid government announced plans for large-scale forced removals in the district, starting with the African residents on the mission. Only those in full time employment were exempt, so CAP set up a basketwork project using osiers grown on the mission. The project was a week old when the Dundee Bantu Commissioner arrived in October 1967 to do a head count, reluctantly adding the obviously inexperienced weavers to the list of those allowed to stay. The crafts soon expanded to include pottery, wool weaving, and sewing projects which were designed to provide an income not only for mission residents, but for neighbouring communities who were forcibly removed to the Limehill resettlement area in January 1968.

Just as each bead on a thread is uniquely beautiful, it becomes part of a pattern that creates meaning and function. Just as each item of beadwork is a single piece of art, it links people together through ideas and skills, through passion and determination. In telling this story of the crafters of the Mdukatshawni Rural Development Project (formerly Church Agricultural Projects – CAP), Creina Alcock holds up the beads and the cotton, the copper and the gold so that they reflect not only the sun but also the light and shade of the lives they carry. In the early years, the project had 300 beaders and Mdukatshani beadwork became renowned from New York to Paris to London. Within these pages, a sculptor, a sangoma (traditional healer) and a supermodel are among many sharing the stage. The project has Deborah Ewing, Chair of Mdukatshani connected people across continents

  • Remembering the Estcourt – Weenen Line 1906
    REMEMBERING THE ESTCOURT – WEENEN LINE 1906 – 1983 Bruno Martin Published by the RAILWAY HISTORY SOCIETY, an interest group of the Railway Society of Southern Africa (Natal Branch) Founded 1960 “Travelling on this little train of the thorn country is a real experience. It is certainly the only train in the world which gives the right of way to pythons. The inoffensive reptiles are common in the surrounding bush and the train always does its best to stop and allow them to cross the line. Numerous rock rabbits and various antelopes also have their homes along the track.” - TV Bulpin, Treasure of Travels Series, 5: Johannesburg to Durban, 1973. NGG13 no. 78 about to leave Weenen for Estcourt on 3 March 1979, with Driver Billy Bester in discussion. Photo: Don Baker More than a quarter of a century has passed since the narrow-gauge railway between Estcourt and Weenen was closed. The last revenue-earning service departed unceremoniously from Weenen station on Wednesday afternoon, 31 August 1983. On Monday, 5 September, the remaining goods wagons were retrieved from Weenen and the very last working was for weed spraying on Saturday, 5 October.

  • The Uthukela District Municipality Biodiversity Sector Plan. Unpublished Report, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Pietermaritzburg
    BIODIVERSITY SECTOR PLAN FOR THE UTHUKELA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, KWAZULU-NATAL TECHNICAL REPORT Authors: Afzelia Environmental Consultants cc Wolfgang Kanz John Richardson Editors Tim O’Connor & Associates Tim O’Connor Contributors EnvironDev Gina Thompson Suggested Citation: Kanz W.A., O’Connor T.G., Richardson J., Nel G, Nel, W. The uThukela District Municipality Biodiversity Sector Plan. Unpublished report, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Pietermaritzburg. 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Biodiversity Act introduced several legislated planning tools to assist with the management and conservation of South Africa’s biological diversity. These include the declaration of “Bioregions” and the publication of “Bioregional Plans”. Bioregional plans are usually an output of a systematic spatial conservation assessment of a region. They identify areas of conservation priority, and constraints and opportunities for implementation of the plan. The precursor to a Bioregional Plan is a Biodiversity Sector Plan (BSP), which is the official reference for biodiversity priorities to be taken into account in land-use planning and decision-making by all sectors within the District Municipality. The consultant team was appointed to fulfil the requirements of a BSP for the uThukela District Municipality, as informed by SANBI, the Bioregional Guidelines (DEAT, 2007), current best practice, and the EKZNW Project Terms of Reference. The final product is a series of maps highlighting those areas that are critically important for biodiversity, with accompanying land-use and management guidelines that serve to guide decision-making and inform multi-sectoral planning. The process involved extensive mapping of vegetation types and species data (where available), ecological processes, transformation and threats, and setting of biodiversity targets.
