  • Muslim Contribution to the Renaming Process
    Why Muslim contribution should be acknowledged in the renaming process. On the 2 October, 1805 a piece of land in the Bo-kaap, was granted by the “Raad der Gemeente” [the council at that time] as a cemetery for the Muslims of Cape Town. This official land grant, the first of its kind, was an expression of goodwill extended by the Batavian Republic following the granting of religious freedom on 25 July, 1804. This freedom was accompanied by two privileges: the right to build a mosque and the granting of this burial site. This action of the Batavian administration was an attempt to secure Muslim loyalty in the eventuality of a British invasion of the Cape. After 150 years of slavery and relentless religious persecution, Muslim gratitude of these privileges was expressed by the formation of two "Javaansche Artilleries". Under the command of Imam Frans of Bengal and a Frenchman J. Madlener, these artilleries were deployed at the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806. They were well trained and fought so graciously that they earned the praise of their British adversaries. According to some historians, the Muslim artilleries could have won the battle had General Jansen not retreated. Because the Muslim fighters suffered heavy casualties; this altruism confirmed their readiness to sacrifice for the protection of this city. According to the South African Military History Society, the Muslims totalled 158 men; this included 54 gunners assisted by l04 auxiliaries, almost a third of the total Cape fighting force. These artillerymen were volunteer citizen-soldiers and members of the freed slaves of Indo- Malay origin.

  • Comparing the Dutch and British Maritime Technologies During the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815)
    Technology and Empire: Comparing the Dutch and British Maritime Technologies during the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815) By Ivor Mollema December, 2015 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: History The two ships, Bato (1806) and Brunswick (1805) wrecked in Simons Bay, South Africa, provide an opportunity to compare British and Dutch maritime technologies during the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815). The former was a Dutch 74-gun ship of the line and the latter a British East Indiaman. Their remains reveal pertinent information about the maritime technologies available to each European power. Industrial capacity and advanced metal working played a significant role in ship construction initiatives of that period, while the dwindling timber supplies forced invention of new technologies. Imperial efforts during the Napoleonic Era relied on naval power. Maritime technologies dictated imperial strategy as ships were deployed to expand or maintain colonial empires. Naval theorists place the strategy into a wider spectrum and the analysis of the material culture complements further understanding of sea power. The study also recommends management options to preserve the archaeological sites for future study and to showcase for heritage tourism.

    Gustav Hendrich Senior Archivist, “A RICH STOREHOUSE FOR Western Cape Archives RESEARCH”: THE HISTORICAL and Records Service and Research Fellow, DEVELOPMENT OF THE Department of History, Faculty of Arts and Social WESTERN CAPE ARCHIVES AND Sciences, Stellenbosch University. E­mail: RECORDS SERVICE gustavhendrich@gmail. com Abstract DOI: https://dx.doi. Without the existence of archival repositories, or institutions respon­ org/10.18820/24150509/ sible for the safekeeping and preservation of records, there will be no JCH42.v2.4 fundamental source for studying the past. The primary role of archives the world over is to preserve historical sources of information for the ISSN 0258­2422 (Print) benefit of future generations. For understanding the South African ISSN 2415­0509 (Online) past, particularly from its early beginnings at the Cape, the Western Journal for Contemporary Cape Archives and Records Service (WCARS) in Cape Town, History plays an instrumental role in the proper recordkeeping of some of 2017 42(2):74­97 our country’s most valuable and irreplaceable records. Despite the © UV/UFS centuries of possible hazardous influences such as water, damp and weather damage to the paper­based sources, the oldest records have largely remained intact. The aim of this article is to describe the efforts of archivists and record their pleas for more effective storage space/locations. It is also intended to shed light on the historical development of WCARS as a renowned research institution that today serves the interests of a wide spectrum of the public; most notably academics, historians, scholars and family researchers from not only the Western Cape region, but also from across South Africa and abroad.

  • Scoping Heritage Assessment for the Proposed
    SCOPING HERITAGE ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF A 400 kV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN ANKERLIG POWER STATION (ATLANTIS) AND THE PROPOSED OMEGA SUBSTATION, GROOT OLIFANTSKOP. (Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act as part of an EIA.) Prepared for Savannah Environmental Pty (ltd). January 2008 Prepared by Tim Hart Archaeology Contracts Office Department of Archaeology University of Cape Town Private Bag Rondebosch 7701 Phone (021) 650 2357 Fax (021) 650 2352 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Archaeology Contracts Office (ACO) was appointed by Savannah Environmental to undertake an Heritage Impact Assessment for the construction of a 400kV transmission line between Ankerlig Power Station (situated at Atlantis Industrial Area) and the proposed Omega substation which is to be built on the farm Groot Olifantskop. Three alternative transmission line routes have been proposed. These are: • Option A which runs parallel mainly to the existing Atlantis-Koeberg 1&2 and Koeberg- Stickland 1 electrical servitudes • Option B which is an entirely new alignment running from Atlantis southwards through a new servitude before joining the Koeberg - Stickland 1 servitude to Omega • Option C which runs parallel to the existing Atlantis railway which passes close to Omega. While none of the proposed routes have been examined in detail at this time (scoping), the general area has been subject to a number of studies in recent years which permit a conclusion to be reached in terms of the comparative sensitivity of the three options. Areas of heritage significance within all the proposed option corridors are limited which means that highly significant impacts are not expected to occur on any of them.
