Fifteen papers – out of the twenty-seven presented at the conference – are reproduced here. The presenters were university lecturers, heritage workers and government officials. These presenters came not only from KwaZulu-Natal, the hosting province, but also from Gauteng, Limpopo, the Free State, the Eastern Cape, the Western Cape and Zimbabwe. The confe- rence was jointly organised by the Oral History Association of South Africa (OHASA), the Department of Arts and Culture, and the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism. The existence of OHASA, the regular holding of oral history con- ferences and the multiplication of oral history projects throughout South Africa demonstrate the importance that oral history as an academic endeavour and a tool in heritage development has gained in South Africa since the advent of democracy in 1994. In a country still wounded by a legacy of racial discrimination, the retrieving of oral memories is a task that is more urgent than ever. The interest raised by conferences such as the one held in Richards Bay shows that oral history has a unique role to play in post- apartheid South Africa. Perhaps I should start by saying that, in a sense, oral history has always existed. From time immemorial conversations have taken place about the past. Stories have always been told in a formal or informal way, parti- cularly in Africa. Oral history was only established as an academic discipline in the late 1940s in the United States. In South Africa the first two oral history projects, at the Killie Campbell Library, University of Natal, and with the History Workshop, Wits University, were initiated in 1979. In recent years, numerous oral history projects have seen the light and countless scholars and postgraduate students have made use of the methodology of oral history to gain a better knowledge of the past. OHASA was formally consti- tuted at the 2nd South African Oral History Conference held in Boksburg in October 2005. The objective of the Association, according to its constitution, is “to promote and facilitate the recording, preservation, access, populari- sation and study of oral history in South Africa”. This includes “poetry, music, oral praise, oral performance and oral traditions”. The theme of the Richards Bay conference was “Culture, memory and trauma”. Such a theme was fitting in a province divided, for many years, by a brutal civil war and which is now suffering the impact of HIV/AIDS. Several papers in this volume guide oral history practitioners, through examples, in the difficult task of retrieving painful memories. But oral history is not only about pain and suffering. It can also be used to affirm and develop the nation’s cultural heritage. As a result of the combined effect of colonial rule and segregation, certain aspects of this heritage have been maintained under tutelage for too long. The time has come to ask the bearers of oral tradition to share their knowledge with new generations of South Africans. Oral history is one of the ways in which this mission can be carried out. Our gratitude goes to the authors of the papers included in this volume for their having taken the time to revise their papers for publication. We owe a special debt to Dr Patricia Opondo, who painstakingly collected and edited these texts. Other volumes of OHASA conference proceedings are still to come. This one is the first to see the light. We hope that it will help to illus- trate the work of OHASA and that it will encourage more academics and heritage workers to become practitioners of oral history. Series foreword Christina Landman OHASA EXCOM: Publications Oral Historiography is an exciting new field of scholarship and a rapidly emerging science within the Human Sciences. This publication bears testi- mony to this fact. This publication is a record of the Proceedings of the 3rd South African Oral History Conference, which was held in Richards Bay in 2006. This publication is made possible owing to a grant given by the Department of Arts and Culture. The impetus for the publication came from the Oral History Association of South Africa (OHASA). The publisher is the Research Institute for Theology and Religion at the University of South Africa. This is the first in a series of three books that contain a selection of the proceedings from seven of OHASA’s annual conferences. The publication of these volumes will be concluded by June 2013. The content of these three volumes will be organised as follows: Book 1: Culture, memory and trauma 3rd conference 2006 (Richard’s Bay): Culture, memory and trauma Book 2: Oral history: representing the hidden, the untold and the veiled 4th conference 2007 (Polokwane): Truth, legitimacy and representation: oral history and alternative voices 5th conference 2008 (East London): Hidden voices, untold stories and veiled memories: oral history, representation and knowledge 6th conference 2009 (Cape Town): The politics of collecting and curating voices Book 3: Oral history: heritage and identity 7th conference 2010 (Nelspruit): Oral history and heritage: national and local identities 8th conference 2011 (Mahikeng): Past distortions, present realities: (re)construction(s) and (re)configurations(s) of oral history 9th conference 2012 (Bloemfontein): Oral history, communities and the liberation struggle: reflective memories in post-apartheid South Africa The present publication has been peer-reviewed by three academics: Prof Graham Duncan from the University of Pretoria, Dr Mary-Ann Plaatjies-Van Huffel from the University of Stellenbosch, and Dr Wessel Bentley from the University of South Africa.

    13 Scientia Militaria vol 40, no 3, 2012, pp.13-39. doi : 10.5787/40-3-1041 Accolades and Albatrosses: The South African National Defence Force’s Centenary and the Commemoration of Milestones in South African Military History Deon Visser • Abstract Peoples, societies, institutions and other entities frequently record their histories in terms of successive epochs, and commemorate those histories according to perceived milestones or turning points in their development. Since much of human history has been dominated by strife and warfare, national and international milestones are frequently embedded in notions of a military past. Milestones in military history may be divided into three broad categories, namely those representing significant strides in the evolution of warfare, those associated with bravery, heroic sacrifice and great loss, and those of decisive political importance. Defence forces in general, and individual military units in particular, are extremely conscious of their past and often commemorate milestones through customs, traditions, and splendid parades and ceremonial displays. This year (2012), the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) celebrates its centenary against the complex background of South Africa’s long history of internal strife interspaced with participation in foreign conflicts. This article reflects on the commemoration of South Africa’s military history within the context of the divergent historical heritages of the SANDF and its predecessors. It commences with a brief background on memory, identity and the commemoration of history and military history. Thereafter it outlines the commemoration of a few of the foremost milestones in South African • Lieutenant Colonel GE Visser is an associate professor of Military History at the Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University (South African Military Academy).

  • North-West Province
    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.

  • 1 with Respect to Zulu: Revisiting Ukuhlonipha Hlonipho, to Give Its
    With Respect to Zulu: Revisiting ukuHlonipha Hlonipho, to give its form as a Zulu noun stem, is a form of respectful behavior in speech and action.1 Mentioned in colonial-era documents and other writings since the mid-19th century, it has been widespread in southern Africa, practiced among (at least) the Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, and Sotho. Recent studies, including several very useful sociolinguistic and ethnographic descriptions, have focused their attention mainly upon isihlonipho sabafazi, the linguistic form of hlonipha associated with women (the isi- prefix implies a way of speaking).2 Indeed, a stereotype of hlonipha as “women’s language” goes back to ethnographic and linguistic literature of decades ago, and is described as a form of linguistic taboo in which a married woman must avoid speaking the name of her father-in-law. It is also often described as “old” or “traditional,” or even vanishing. While the existence and prominence of this stereotype is of interest in itself, the practice of ukuhlonipha (the general term, with infinitive prefix) is much wider than much of the literature on it recognizes. To focus solely on “women’s language” is to excise a wider frame of social, semiotic, and somatic meaning. Hlonipha is not only about language; bodily posture, comportment, and clothing are part of it too. Moreover, a narrow focus on “women’s language” implies ignoring hlonipha as practiced by men, as well as the practice of praise-performance (bonga), which, we propose, is the semiotic complement to hlonipha and joins with it in a broader Zulu notion of “respect.” The cultural background to these practices, we argue, is an ideology of language and comportment that understands performances of all kinds, including linguistic utterances, fundamentally as actions of the body.3 1 Focusing first on isihlonipha, we argue that the linguistic practice is itself seen as bodily activity in a Zulu ideology of language, and we explore the semiotic connection with other forms of respectful bodily comportment.

  • Groundwater and Surface Water) Quality and Management in the North-West Province, South Africa
    A scoping study on the environmental water (groundwater and surface water) quality and management in the North-West Province, South Africa Report to the WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION by CC Bezuidenhout and the North-West University Team WRC Report No. KV 278/11 ISBN No 978-1-4312-0174-7 October 2011 The publication of this report emanates from a WRC project titled A scoping study on the environmental water (groundwater and surface water) quality and management in the north- West Province, south Africa (WRC Project No. K8/853) DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND & RATIONALE Water in the North West Province is obtained from ground and surface water sources. The latter are mostly non-perennial and include rivers and inland lakes and pans. Groundwater is thus a major source and is used for domestic, agriculture and mining purposes mostly without prior treatment. Furthermore, there are several pollution impacts (nitrates, organics, microbiological) that are recognised but are not always addressed. Elevated levels of inorganic substances could be due to natural geology of areas but may also be due to pollution. On the other hand, elevated organic substances are generally due to pollution from sanitation practices, mining activities and agriculture. Water quality data are, however, fragmented. A large section of the population of the North West Province is found in rural settings and most of them are affected by poverty.
