Correspondence: There was no correspondence received. Club Matters: The SPS has placed a write-up on club matters in the newspaper Die Bolander and Eikestadnuus, with thanks to Pieter Maritz who had placed the messages. This has led to a visitor, and ultimately a new member. The Two-page Cup was awarded to one of the members, and still has to be returned. The member is requested to return the cup before or at the next meeting. The result is that tonight’s winner cannot be awarded the Cup. The total donations for the evening came to R61.20. Carin Lawrie’s membership was officially accepted. Show, Tell and Ask: IP shows us a letter that was opened by the Post Office and closed with tape. However, the tape was affixed over the stamps on the cover. IP and SB are looking for a plastic sleeve containing a magazine on the Royal Family. This was handed to WZ at the March meeting to give to SB, and it cannot now be found. NM showed two newspaper clippings from the Eikestadnuus en Die Bolander, showing information on our Club. WV showed a cover with an etiquette sticker instead of a stamp. MS asked the members on information on the 1890’s Post Bank Savings booklet and stamps. He would like to find out how this works.

It was first known as Airletters and then there is the Aerogramme. The background to this collection can be obtained from SB. MS also bought along his one-frame collection on Circular Delivery Companies and explained that it would not be easy to expand the collection to e.g. 5 frames. For competitive reasons though to it would most likely only be a two-frame exhibit and these are not very popular on competitive level. Volgende vergadering: Die volgende vergadering is op 7 May 2019 met die 2-bladsy onderwerp van Stones/Stene, (gemstones/edelstene) Malcolm Suttill is the exhibitor on the evening (Printing of stamps?). FACTS AND FEATS: THE POSTAL SERVICES The only stamps prepared as an unofficial local issue but issued instead by a government postal administration were the first stamps of Peru. Perkins Bacon of London recess-printed a quantity of stamps for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, a British firm trading along the west coast of South America. The stamps were never actually used by the company, owing to objections raised by the Peruvian authorities. In 1857, however, the Peruvian Post Office considered the introduction of adhesive postage stamps and the company, thereupon, offered its unused stamps to the government for circulation pending the supply of a regular issue. The stamps, bearing the initials of the company (PSNC) in the corners, were in use from 1 Dec 1857 till Mar 1858, when they were superseded by a series specifically inscribed by the country name. Local stamps, usually ignored by government postal administration, have been reproduced on government issues on several occasions. In 1912 a local set of stamps portraying Apollo was prepared for issue in the Dodecanese Islands, but the stamps were suppressed by the Italian military authorities. The design was reproduced on two of the stamps issued by Greece in 1947 to celebrate the transfer of the Dodecanese Islands to Greece. In 1964 one of the Stamp Day stamps issued by Cuba reproduced the 10 centavos stamp issued by the guerrillas in the war against Spain in 1898. A set of stamps issued by Tristan da Cunha for the centenary of the death of Sir Rowland Hill (1979) featured the famous Potato local stamp on the 50p denomination. In Oct 1967 the Irish Republic issued two stamps commemorating the centenary of the Fenian insurrection and reproduced two stamps which purported to be Fenian stamp essays of 1867. It has since been discovered that the essays were a hoax perpetrated by the notorious philatelic swindler, Samuel Allen Taylor of Boston, Massachusetts. Ireland thus has the dubious distinction of being the only country to reproduce bogus stamps on its issues. A newspaper founded a country’s postal service. In 1870 the Fiji Times organised a postal service and heralded it with a jingle: Remember, remember the First of November The day you’ll have reason to bless. For then we commence a thing quite immense To be called the Fiji Times Express. The newspaper proprietor, G.L. Griffiths, not only provided enlarged premises for a post office at Levuka, the islands’ capital, until 1882, but also mailbags, an inter-island mailboat and an issue of stamps (1d, 3d, 6d, 9d and 1s). The stamps were composed or printer’s type and perforated by lines of printer’s dashes, producing a rouletted effect. The service in fact operated between 8 Oct 1870 and May 1872 when it was taken over by the Fiji government. Facts and feats come from: Mackay, James, The Guinness book of Stamps, Guinness Publishing Ltd, Enfield, 1988 Please note that the information used for this article has in many cases been overtaken by events – Ed THE EVOLUTION OF MAIL AND POSTAGE STAMPS (10) This is an article written by Tom Fortunato, and can be found at the indicated website, and an excerpt will be featured over the next few months. (http://www.frontiernet.net/~stamptmf/exhibits/stampcollecting/index.html) V – These are stamps Sometimes called "scratch-and-sniff" stamps, scented stamps have been around since 1973. Flowers have been popular in this category, but other smells also captured the imagination of artists, postal administrations and collectors. 1973 Bhutan - roses 1999 Brazil - burnt wood for a fire prevention issue 2001 Switzerland - chocolate 2001 Hong Kong – jasmine tea 2003 Russia - fruit How did they do it? Micro-encapsulation, developed in the 1940's for carbonless paper, uses plastic or gelatin nodules only a few microns (millionths of a meter) in size within an aromatic chemical. Scratching the surface breaks these, a few at a time, releasing the scent while preserving the rest for years. Soap and cosmetics use this same process. Stamps have had various substances "attached" to them. Here are just a few examples. 2003 Russia - clay dust on court, silver on cup 2006 Austria - meteorite dust on the orange ink Famous Swarovski glass crystals were set into stamps in 2004 to honor the company's 100th anniversary. 2004 Austria, Swarovski's Crystal Worlds To be continued… TIMELINE On 28 May 1900 Britain, represented by Lord Roberts, annexes the Orange Free State, after entering the city of Bloemfontein on 26 May. The Orange Free State was an independent Boer sovereign republic in southern Africa during the second half of the 19th century, which ceased to exist after it was defeated and surrendered to the British Empire at the end of the Second Boer War in 1902. It is the historical precursor to the present-day Free State province. Extending between the Orange and Vaal rivers, its borders were determined by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1848 when the region was proclaimed as the Orange River Sovereignty, with a seat of a British Resident in Bloemfontein.

  • Ted Antalya Model United Nations 2017
    TED ANTALYA MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2017 THE HISTORICAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORT LETTER OF THE SECRETARIAT DISTINGUISHED PARTICIPANTS, ESTEEMED MUN DIRECTORS, It is our utmost honor and pleasure to genially invite you to participate in the second TED Antalya Model United Nations Conference which will take place from 27 to 30 April 2017, in Antalya, Turkey. As many of you know, TAMUN'16 was a great success for which we worked very hard and we intend to make TAMUN'17 even better. With participants from all over Turkey, we expect to provide you with more in depth debates, more culturally diverse discussions and an even deeper sense of satisfaction on the outcome. We invite you to enjoy Antalya's hospitality, our conference venue and our school campus along with the energy and motivation of our TAMUN'17 Executive Board. We are eager to make the conference a huge success. Our main aim is to raise awareness among high school students on the tough problems the world faces today and to use diplomacy to shape the solutions. The MUN experience will provide the basis for our Future Leaders, something we as TAMUN want to be a part of. The TAMUN'16’s theme was “The consensus for the new generation”, TAMUN'17’s theme will be “Designing our Future”. Foreseeing where we are headed and the (irreversible) damage we are causing, it is time to take precautions now! We will have five General Assembly committees, an ECOSOC committee, a Historical Committee, and a Security Council. Please bear in mind that only experienced delegates should attend the Historical Committee and the Security Council, since their formats are very different from General Assembly committees and students should be very familiar with the procedures of GA committees first.

  • Apartheid Legislation in South Africa
    Ralph Glücksmann Apartheid Legislation in South Africa I. Introduction On 31 May 1910 the Union of South Africa was formed as a dominion in the British Empire. It was exactly eight years after the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging, which had brought the Second Anglo-Boer War to an end and stipulated full British sovereignty over the Boer republics of Transvaal and Orange Free State. Although the South Africa Act 1909 (9 Edw. VII c. 9) was passed by the British Parliament at Westminster, it was wholly constructed by South African representatives in South Africa. Agreement had not been reached without acrimony, and there were times when it seemed that the national convention of representatives of the four colonies Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River might break up among recriminations. Das Kap wurde 1806 britische Kolonie. Davor war das Kap eine niederländische Kolonie, gegründet von der Niederländischen Ostindien-Kompanie (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), die vom niederländischen Staat Hoheitsrechte erhalten hatte. Als die Niederlande 1795 im Zuge des ersten Koalitionskrieges von Frankreich be- setzt wurden, nutzten die Briten eine Rebellion in der Kapkolonie, um diese unter ihre Herrschaft zu bringen und den Franzosen zuvorzukommen. 1803 zogen sich die Briten nach dem Frieden von Amiens zunächst wieder zu- rück und überließen das Kap der Batavischen Republik als Rechtsnachfolgerin der 1798 aufgelösten Niederlän- dischen Ostindien-Kompanie. Bereits 1806 annektierte Großbritannien nach der Schlacht von Blauberg die Kap- kolonie jedoch endgültig, nachdem die napoleonischen Kriege in Europa wieder aufgeflammt waren. 1815 wur- de die Abtretung an das britische Kolonialreich auf dem Wiener Kongress von den Niederlanden bestätigt, die als Kompensation die früheren Österreichischen Niederlande erhielten.

  • How the End of the Second Boer War Unified Afrikaner Culture and Led to Afrikaner Political Dominance in South Africa
    The pen for the sword: how the end of the Second Boer War unified Afrikaner culture and led to Afrikaner political dominance in South Africa. by Timothy Evan Thomas Suttle B.A., Kansas State University, 2015 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Andrew Orr Copyright © Timothy Suttle Abstract The end of the Second Boer War in 1902 gave rise to cultural and political action of Afrikaners within the colonial governments and among the South African people. These actions caused a rise in Afrikaner cultural and political nationalism. Though the British emerged victorious from the war, resentment for the British Empire was widespread in the South African colonies due to brutalities suffered by the Afrikaners during the war. This resentment would later be channeled by Afrikaner leaders and used as a political weapon. The British wished for appeasement with the Afrikaners and established terms at the end of the war that Afrikaner leaders were able to use to further Afrikaner culture through politics. The military victory for the British influenced many Afrikaners to trade violence for political and cultural means of resistance. Throughout the years 1902-1924 the Afrikaner people established strategies through politics, literary publications, and new political groups, developed in the years 1904-1908, to advocate for Afrikaner nationalism and cultural equality amongst the British in areas of law, commerce, and education. The war showed the futility of military resistance against the British, but inspired many to push for political and cultural resistance, unification, and eventual dominance.

A historical experiment from the South African Republic and the Orange Free State Stan du Plessis and Sophia du Plessis∗ June 22, 2017 Abstract Two neighbouring republics with a common history and culture fol- lowed very different paths of development in the second half of the nine- teenth century. Extraordinary mineral wealth was discovered during this period in the South African Republic (ZAR), the neighbour where politi- cal and economic stability was fragile compared with the Republic of the Orange Free State (OFS). We connect these divergent development paths to the literature on the resource curse, especially the recent literature on the conditional resource curse where the quality of the institutional struc- ture plays a crucial role in the outcomes of a large resource discovery. By introducing a new objective measure for the quality of institutions, namely the accuracy of boundaries on maps, we provide evidence of the institutional quality in the ZAR prior to the discovery of gold on the Wit- watersrand.
