The analysis covers three intertwined processes that were crucial for the advance of a capitalist mode of production: the making of capital, the making of a com- modity market, and the making of a labouring class. The making of capital was achieved after the mid-1800s. However, even at the end of the century, the market for Cape wines and the making of a labouring class remained obstacles to the advance of capitalism. Some wealthy farm owners, though, were about to overcome these obstacles. A small group of them were of old Afrikaner origin, while others, mostly investor capitalists of British origin, were quite successful in establishing a capitalist mode of production on their wine farms. In particular, drawing on a vast array of primary sources, we discuss the many labour recruitment programmes that were organized as private and state initiatives. INTRODUCTION The Western Cape of South Africa is one of the best-known regions in the world for wine farming. The cultivation and production of wine was initi- ated soon after the Dutch East India Company gained a foothold in the Cape peninsula in the mid-1600s and Europeans first settled there. Wine was produced both for the crews of the ships en route to India, Batavia, and China and back to Europe, and for consumption in the expanding colony. For many years, wine farming developed very slowly, but it expanded significantly after the British occupation in the early 1800s owing to wine now being exported to England on favourable conditions.1 Cape wine was * The research for this article has been funded by the Swedish Research Council’s division for Development Research.

In Britain, a reduction of duties on European wines and an oversupply of, often, bad-quality Cape wines resulted in falling demand and lower prices on the British market. In addition, slavery, which was the labour base for wine production in the Western Cape, was abolished in 18343 and farmers had to find “free” labourers to work for them instead. In 1861, the British govern- ment’s abolition of the “preferential duties” on colonial wine brought about the collapse of the British market for the Western Cape wine farmers.4 Never- theless, wine farming expanded: the number of wine farmers increased from 688 in 1875 to 1,599 in 1904; the number of vines increased from 69,910,215 in 1875 to no less than 134,354,621 in 1904; and, despite the disastrous phylloxera epidemic in the late 1880s,5 the volume of wine produced increased from 4,485,665 gallons in 1875 to 5,686,671 gallons in 1904. Although the districts of Paarl and Stellenbosch remained the centre of wine farming, the Winelands also expanded beyond, into Malmesbury, Robertson, and Worcester. Additionally, as all but six wine farmers in 1875 and all but ten in 1904 were registered as “European or White”,6 wine farming was controlled by Whites. It is remarkable that so little research has been done on the expansion of wine farming in the Western Cape at the end of the nineteenth century. Hermann Giliomee and Scully seem to be the only scholars who have focused on that transformative period, but neither of them says very much about the mode of production that was practised. Giliomee notes that, despite the collapse of the British market, wine making was “the largest provider of work in the Western Cape” by 1880. But “the whole agricultural industry” was “languishing in consequence of the bad supply of labour” due to the low 2. D.J. van Zyl, Vineyards and Wine and History (Stellenbosch, 1987). 3.

Only some of “the wealthiest wine and wheat farmers” were successful by exploiting “a system of tied rent to secure a stable labour force”. Farmers had to “compete in the wider and diversified economy created by the expanding capitalist sector”, but according to Giliomee wine farming was not part of the capitalist economy.7 Scully, instead, claims that wine farmers developed and gradually involved WesternCapewinefarmingin“the spread and intensification of capitalist relations” at the end of the century. She is, however, somewhat ambiguous in defining capitalism. On the one hand, she agrees with Robert Ross, Mary I. Rayner, and Nigel Worden when she concludes that there was “a capitalising elite within the dominant class in the Western Cape” during slavery and that “farmers in the South Western Cape became part of an increasingly hegemonic capitalist economy” as early as the late eighteenth century.8 She adds that wine farmers were seriously concerned about “access to markets, to labour and to the source of capital”.9 However, she does not explore these concerns. On the other hand, Scully hints that Ross, who does not say much about wine farming after the abolition of slavery in 1834, “exaggerate[s] the extent to which capitalist relations had penetrated the South African countryside prior to the mineral discoveries”. While Ross argues that agriculture in the colony was “unmistakeably capitalist in character” in the Western Cape during slavery and long before the start of the mining industry,10 Scully claims that “[t]he data for Stellenbosch supports” the conclusion that “even in the 1920s only a minority of South African farmers could be described as capitalist”. Most farmers did not keep record books, nor did they “invest in machinery or in intensified use of their land”, she maintains.11 Certainly, that might be an indication that, around 1900, most wine farmers were not capitalists, and they obviously did not concern themselves with the accu- mulation of capital. Scully does not, however, clarify in what sense Western Cape wine farming on large farms was or was not capitalist in nature. 7.

  • A Unique New Look for Simonsig's Chenin Blanc and Cabernet
    A unique new look for Simonsig’s Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz On behalf of the Malan family from Simonsig Wine Estate, we take great pleasure in introducing you to our new packaging for two of the stalwart wines in our range: the Simonsig Chenin Blanc 2016 and Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2015. After a year of conceptualisation and development, working closely with leading South African designer Anthony Lane, our new bottle and label design combines tradition with contemporary style and finesse. As a family owned and managed wine estate, and one of the first in the Stellenbosch region, we are immensely proud of our heritage that goes back as far as 1688 - the date our forefather, French Huguenot Jacques Malan, arrived in the Cape. Since then, our family involvement in the Western Cape wine industry ranges from planting some of the first vineyards in the Stellenbosch region to pioneering MCC in South Africa. The Malan family name is irrevocably associated with the establishment of a South African wine culture and continues to play a major role in the country’s vinous pursuits. This rich legacy is reflected in the bold use of the Malan family crest and the date 1688 that has been emblazoned directly onto the bottle. To further emphasise the importance of heritage to the Simonsig brand, a vivid red crest adorns the label, while high quality, slightly off-white paper with a serrated edge and clean typeface contributes to the classic yet contemporary feel. .

  • Potential for Integration of Distributed Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Drakenstein Municipality EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    TECHNICAL REPORT ZA 2015 Energy Potential for integration of distributed solar photovoltaic systems in Drakenstein municipality EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Using Drakenstein Municipality as a case study, this report analyses the potential impacts of the installation of roof top PV by residential and industrial users on the municipal revenue generated by electricity sales. Secondly, the report investigates the potential for Municipalities to play a more pro-active role in rolling out of distributed energy to address electricity constraints and generate income. This is done through an analysis of three municipal buildings to determine their suitability for rooftop PV followed by a pre-feasibility report (both technical and financial) in respect of the optimal building selected. The overall analysis of solar potential of the area shows that a typical site within the Drakenstein Municipality has a fair solar resource and PV yield. If a PV array is installed within the municipal area, orientated to the north and inclined at an optimised angle of 29°, a performance ratio of approximately 77% is achieved. The high temperature in the summer months reduces the efficiency of the PV panels and the presence of Paarl Mountain limits the late afternoon generation capacity. However, in comparison to other sites in South Africa, a typical site in the area of focus has a good solar yield. Using available data from two case studies, one residential and one industrial user, together with an additional analysis, the maximum amount of PV that can be installed in the Drakenstein municipal district before grid studies are needed is quantified. The electricity generated from this calculated installed PV capacity is compared with the load profiles at the substations, where load data was available, to evaluate the impact of such PV installations.

Date: March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary South African Chenin Blanc is the most planted grape cultivar in South Africa (SA) and is known for its versatility in wine sensory profiles. However, according to the South African wine industry, consumers are confused as to the different styles that make up Chenin Blanc wine. Currently, there are six different style classifications for South African Chenin Blanc wine that was proposed as a guideline by the Chenin Blanc Association (CBA). Previous research conducted at the University of Stellenbosch was aimed at evaluating these style classifications. Previous results showed that, when using a small sample set of commercial Chenin Blanc, only two clear style categories could be identified – Fresh and Fruity and Rich and Ripe Wooded.

  • Large Scale Quantification of Aquifer Storage and Volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the Southwestern Cape
    Large scale quantification of aquifer storage and volumes from the Peninsula and Skurweberg Formations in the southwestern Cape Dylan Blake*, Andiswa Mlisa and Chris Hartnady Umvoto Africa (Pty) Ltd,PO Box 61, Muizenberg, 7950, Western Cape, South Africa Abstract The Western Cape Province of South Africa is a relatively water-scarce area as a result of the Mediterranean climate experienced. Due to the increased usage of groundwater, and the requirement to know how much water is available for use, it is imperative as a 1st step to establish an initial estimate of groundwater in storage. The storage capacity, namely, the total available storage of the different aquifers, and the storage yield of the fractured quartzitic Peninsula and Skurweberg Formation aquifers of the Table Mountain Group (TMG), are calculated with a spreadsheet and Geographic Information System (GIS) model. This model is based on the aquifer geometry and estimated values (based on measured data) for porosity and specific storage (calculated using the classic Jacob relation). The aquifer geometry is calculated from 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 geological contacts, faults and major fractures, with dips and aquifer formation thickness calculated through structural geology 1st principles using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Balanced geological cross-sections constructed through the model areas provide an important check for the aquifer top and bottom surface depth values produced by the GIS model. The storage modelling undertaken here forms part of the City of Cape Town TMG Aquifer Feasibility Study and Pilot Project, with modelling focusing on the 3 main groundwater target areas at Theewaterskloof (Nuweberg), Wemmershoek and Kogelberg-Steenbras.

It is a newly designated wine district (March 2012) and an exploratory research study was undertaken to determine what the Brand ‘DNA’ of the Wellington Wine District is and then to propose appropriate marketing strategies for the developing wine tourism destination. The research process focussed on two types of wine tourism behaviour, namely festival-goers at the Wellington Wine Harvest Festival and the visitors to selected Wellington Wine Route members’ cellar doors. Surveys were executed by means of interviews and self-administration of structured questionnaires. Results were analysed in terms of two categories: first time visitors (FTV) and repeat visitors (RV).
