LONDON : A.WHITE AND CO., 62 AND 64 WILSON STREET, FINBURY, E.C. APRIL 1890 ________________________________________________________________ A. WHITE AND CO., STEAM PRINTERS AND LITHOGRAPHERS WILSON STREET, FINSBURY,E.C. Preface to the First Edition The Publishers of "THE EMIGRANTS' GUIDE TO SOUTH AFRICA" have had in view the supply of a want which has been felt for some time, as is certain to be increasingly felt as Emigration to South Africa is developed. Among the many admirable books on South Africa already published, there is not one which is specially adapted to meet the case of the Artizan or Agricultural Emigrant Settler. It is believed that " EMIGRANTS' GUIDE" will be found to supply this deficiency. The larger potion of the book is compiled from papers specially written by Mr. Wilmot, of Port Elizabeth, for, and published in the Home edition of, "THE SOUTH AFRICAN MAIL" for 1878. Valuable information obtained from " The Cape Directory" for 1879 ; Silver and Co's "Handbook to Southern Africa;" Granville's "Guide to Southern Africa;" "Descriptive Handbook of the Cape Colony;" by John Noble Clerk to the House of Assembly, Cape Town; and other sources, has been incorporated. 17 Blomfield Street, London, E.C. January, 1880 Preface to the Sixth Edition A New Edition of the Guide being called for, the Proprietors, determining to maintain its character and the position it has now held for so many years, have taken the opportunity to bring its information down to the latest date. In carrying out this determination, the compiler has availed himself of the most recent reports from official and private sources accessible to him. He has thus been enabled not only to correct and extend the descriptions of the older Colonies and States of South Africa, but to add and entirely new section on Bechualand. The recent wonderful development of the Transvaal Gold Fields required special notice, and this will be found in its proper place. For the full and interesting account of these Fields which there appears, the compiler is indebted to The Argus Annual for 1889 ; a publication which he commends very highly to the notice of all who are interested in South Africa and its affairs, as being a perfect library in pravo of all that one would wish to know of the Land of the Future.

    1 05 028 THEY WERE SOUTH AFRICANS By John Bond CAPE TOWN OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON NEW YORK 4 Oxford University Press, Amen House, London, E.G. GLASGOW NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE WELLINGTON BOMBAY CALCUTTA MADRAS KARACHI CAPE TOWN IBADAN NAIROBI ACCRA SINGAPORE First published November 1956 Second impression May 1957 Third impression November 1957 $ PRINTED IN THE UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA BY THE RUSTICA PRESS, PTY., LTD., WYNBERG, CAPE To the friends and companions of my youth at Grey High School, Port Elizabeth, and Rhodes University, Grahams- town, ivho taught me what I know and cherish about the English-speaking South Africans, this book is affectionately dedicated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book would not have been possible without the help and kindness of many people, 'who may not entirely agree with the views it expresses. I am greatly indebted to Mr D. H. Ollemans and the Argus Printing and Publishing Company, of which he is managing director, for granting me the generous allocation of leave without which it could never have been completed. At a critical moment Mr John Fotheringham's intervention proved decisive. And how can I forget the kindness with which Dr Killie Campbell gave me the freedom of her rich library of Africana at Durban for three months, and the helpfulness of her staff, especially Miss Mignon Herring. The Johannesburg Public Library gave me unstinted help, for which I am particularly indebted to Miss J. Ogilvie of the Africana section and her assistants. Professor A.

  • Coal Capital: the Shaping of Social Relations in the Stormberg, 1880-1910
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY COAL CAPITAL: THE SHAPING OF SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE STORMBERG, 1880-1910 PhD PAT GIBBS 330289 Supervisors: Professor Phillip Bonner Dr Noor Nieftaqodien Professor Anne Mager Port Elizabeth 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an analysis of the interaction of a variety of communities that coalesced around the coal fields in the environs of the town of Molteno in the Stormberg mountains, during the late Victorian period and the first decade of the 20th century. An influx of mining and merchant capitalists, bankers and financiers, skilled miners and artisans from overseas and Thembu labourers from across the Kei River flooded into what had been a quasi-capitalist world dominated mainly by Afrikaner stock farmers, some English farmers and Thembu and Khoi sharecroppers and labourers. It also examines the brief life-span of a coal mining enterprise, which initially held out the hope of literally fuelling South Africa’s industrial revolution, and its relationship with the economically and socially significant railway, which it drew into the area. This capitalisation of an early capitalist zone on the northern border of the Cape has demanded an analysis of the intersecting economies of mining, farming and urbanisation as well as of the race, class and ethnic formations generated by this interaction. In delineating the day-to-day minutiae of events, this thesis seeks to reveal a microcosmic view of the fortunes and identities of the associated communities and to present a distinctive, regional study of a hitherto unknown and early aspect of South Africa’s mineral revolution.

  • And Its Effects on Colonial Public Finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-1910
    Serving God and Mammon: the ‘minerals-railway complex’ and its effects on colonial public finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-1910 ABEL GWAINDEPI Stellenbosch Economic Working Papers: WP07/2019 www.ekon.sun.ac.za/wpapers/2019/wp072019 May 2019 KEYWORDS: public finances, fiscal capacity, elite power, economic development, natural resources, African colonialism, Cape Colony JEL: H30 H41, H50, H61, N17 Laboratory for the Economics of Africa’s Past (LEAP) http://leapstellenbosch.org.za/ DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH SOUTH AFRICA A WORKING PAPER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND THE BUREAU FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH www.ekon.sun.ac.za/wpapers Serving God and Mammon: the ‘minerals-railway complex’ and its effects on colonial public finances in the British Cape Colony, 1810-19101 Abel Gwaindepi2 Abstract The resource curse literature underscores the fact that extractive economies face challenges in diversifying their economies. What is less explored are the public finance challenges encountered in these economies when the extractive industries are completely owned by the private sector. Using a recently compiled dataset on public revenues, expenditures and debt, this paper explores the nexus between the privatized extractive sector operations and public finance policies of the Cape Colony between 1810 and 1910. The paper finds that despite the natural resource endowment, the Cape Colony became heavily indebted and had huge budget deficits by the time it joined the Union of South Africa in 1910. After the discovery of diamonds, competition for resource-rents caused a slowdown and in some instances reversed the progress made in consolidating state institutions.

  • Noupoort: from Steam to Wind
    Rose Willis Noupoort: From Steam to Wind Karoo Cameos Series Hosted by the Karoo Development Foundation NOUPOORT From Steam to Wind By Rose Willis [email protected] 2021 Series editor: Prof Doreen Atkinson [email protected] ROSE WILLIS is the author of The Karoo Cookbook (2008), as well as the monthly e-journal Rose’s Round-up. She co-authored Yeomen of the Karoo: The Story of the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital at Deelfontein, with Arnold van Dyk and Kay de Villiers (2016). 1 Rose Willis is the author of The Karoo Cookbook (Ryno Struik Publishers, 2008), and the e-journal Rose’s Roundup. She co-authored Yeomen of the Karoo: The Story of the Imperial Rose Willis Noupoort: From Steam to Wind Noupoort is somewhat different to most little Karoo towns. The village, which was not started by the church, mushroomed around a railway station. It played a very important role in the Anglo-Boer War. Noupoort is situated 54km south of Colesberg and 45km north of Middelburg. It lies against a mountainous backdrop. A scenic gravel road wends its way eastwards from Noupoort, through broken hills and valleys towards the remote farmstead of Oorlogspoort, before turning south towards the railway village of Rosmead on the R56 which links Middelburg and Steynsburg. There is also a well-engineered pass that connects Noupoort to Middelburg on the N9 route. With fairly easy gradients, the 7km long road affords views of stunning Karoo landscape and a drive through here is well worth the effort. This is Carlton Pass, and it takes its name from the large mountain to the south of Noupoort, known as Carlton Hills.

  • Railways in the British Cape Colony
    “FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT” RAILWAYS IN THE BRITISH CAPE COLONY African economic history working paper series No. 30/2016 Alfonso Herranz-Loncán, University of Barcelona [email protected] Johan Fourie, Stellenbosch University [email protected] ISBN 978-91-981477-9-7 AEHN working papers are circulated for discussion and comment purposes.

The African Economic History Network is funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, Sweden 1 1 “For the public benefit”? Railways in the British Cape Colony ALFONSO HERRANZ-LONCÁN2 AND JOHAN FOURIE3 Built mostly to support the early mining industry, the Cape Colony’s railways reduced the cost of transport to the interior and increased labor productivity in the Colony from 1859 to 1905 by, we calculate, 30 percent. Little of the gains went to the state-owned company: the Cape parliament seems always to have seen the railways as a means to development. But the politically overrepresented western parts of the Colony gained much more than underrepresented areas like Basutoland or the Transkei. While boosting the economy, the railways also had distributional effects, with consequences for racial segregation in twentieth- century South Africa.

  • For the Attention of Readers of the Heritage Portal the FIRST CAPE RAILWAY in SOUTH AFRICA- ORIGINAL CONTRACT GOES on SALE
    For the attention of readers of the Heritage Portal THE FIRST CAPE RAILWAY IN SOUTH AFRICA- ORIGINAL CONTRACT GOES ON SALE. Here is some exciting news for the heritage community. Dr Ronald Levine , antiquarian book collector and dealer, is offering a remarkable Railway manuscript and some attachments for sale as a single lot, on the Antiquarian Auction in June 2020 (see www.antiquarianauctions.com ) The ​ ​ central item, the manuscript, is an original Cape Railway contract in calligraphic script dated 1858 . This document is unique and I concur with the view of Dr Levine that this is one of the earliest and most important items of South African railway history or Railwayana . It is a South African heritage treasure and an extraordinary legacy item from the Cape colonial era of the 19th ​ century. For this reason Dr Levine has restricted sale to South Africa, which will ensure that the 1 sale of the manuscript will comply with the National Heritage Resources Act and remain in South Africa. SA Auction #83: 18 - 25 June 2020 Preview available on Friday, 12 June 2020 Auction #83 18 - 25 Jun 2 The first page of the contract in calligraphy- hand written on parchment. When Dr Levine shared the news of this auction with me, my curiosity was roused and I decided to read up and give the document some historical context. 3 South Africa was relatively late to acquire its first railway lines . Railways networks, iron rails, th and steam engines , carriages and good wagons came into their own in the early 19 ​ century . ​ Railways and the steam engines revolutionised long distance travel between towns and across continents.
