PORT ELIZABETH : 0". "W. O. MAOKAY, PUBLISHER, BOOKSELLER, AND STATIONER, MAIN-STREET. 1977. Air 5-.% Harvard College Library - Jul. 11, Qie Grift of Prof. Jeta S. Pray, ' PORT ELIZABETH : Impet, Yickebs & Oo., Painters, MARKET-SQUABE. P H 3& 3? A C Xali In editing the present volume I have tried to make it more useful than any of its predecessors. A variety of new matter is introduced, and the plan of the entire work remodelled. The tables for mercantile and general reference, from pages 25 to 26, will be handy ; information relative to the law courts is added, and the contents of the Stamp Act are classified. The last Wine and Spirit Act, with the tables of licences and stamps, is given. Under the heading of " Marino Department," the Admiralty hydrographical formula are adopted for all that .concerns the harbour and shipping management and business. The regulations for Cabs and other Public Conveyances are introduced. The Alphabetical and Street directories have been most amply in creased by Mr. Mason's additions to the names and residencies. In the arrangement of the divisions and divisional towns, their territorial, mercantile, or political importance, has given way to the alphabetical order, that they may be more readily referred to. The business directories have had special attention. The figures in each instance have been, taken from the 1875 census. In nearly every case the information has been derived from the most reliable source. The few errors, for the most part unimportant, which were over locked, have been corrected, and alterations since the earlier sheets went to press, have been made to bring public information up to the latest date. On behalf of the publisher, I have to thank the many gentlemen who have promptly supplied desired information, and with him express the hope that the present will be found in all respects not only the most complete, but the most acceptable Port Elizabeth Directory and Guide to the Eastern Province that has yet been published.

  • Report from the Ina South Africa: SASMT 16 June 2017
    Report from the Ina South Africa: SASMT 16 June 2017 Elma Britz The South African Society of Music Teachers (SASMT) was formed in Johannesburg in 1918. The Society can therefore shortly look forward to celebrating its centenary! The SASMT owes its existence to the fact that, since its inception, there was a need to unify the music teaching profession and to further the interest of the profession ‘collectively and individually, besides bringing Music Education and our rich and varied culture to as many people as possible throughout all areas of Southern Africa’ (SASMT handbook revised 2015 - www.sasmt-savmo.org.za). Harry Garvin, a prominent teacher and all-round musician who had come to South Africa from England as a young violinist to lead various light music orchestras and a small group of music teachers felt the need for such a body. The first Annual General Meeting was held in October 1922. The broad outlines of a Constitution were laid down and Garvin was elected president, a position he held for the next nine years. Throughout the years, various membership benefits were established and promulgated. A benevolent fund is available to members who experience unforeseen financial difficulties. A small committee handles deserving applications with the utmost confidentiality. The fund accumulates interest in a special account and a small sum of membership fees is added annually. Many centres collect extra money which is paid into this account. The current editor of our magazine, John Roos, has a small concert venue (Tauromenium) attached to his home where he regularly collects donations from audiences in a newly decorated formerly defunct old cello for this purpose.

INTRODUCTION After more than a century of colonial domination, the Mandated Territory of South West Africa/Namibia' is close to receiving-its indepen- dence. South Africa continues to administer the Territory as it has since its military forces conquered and occupied it in 1915 during World War I. In the negotiations between South Africa and the United Nations over Namibian independence, differences have arisen between the parties over whether the Territory includes either (1) the port and settlement of Walvis Bay, an enclave of 1124 square kilometers in the center of Namibia's Atlantic coast, or (2) the Penguin Islands, twelve small guano islands strung along 400 kilometers of the Namibian coast between Walvis Bay and the Orange River, the Orange River being part of the boundary between South Africa and Namibia.

  • Caroline Murray — Reminiscences of the Old Cape
    1 Reminiscences of the old Cape Caroline Murray Introduction Caroline Murray was the second eldest of John Charles Molteno’s children. Born in 1853, she was one of his most remarkable offspring – able, fearless, sensitive. She had an acute observational eye, excellent memory, and a real ability to write. When she married Dr Charles Murray in 1876, having faced down her father’s initial opposition, she became a full-time wife and mother, and bore ten children. But this did not stop her from having an abiding interest in public affairs. She was active in opposing the Boer War and a firm advocate of non-racialism – not just in the old white South African sense of relations between Boer and Briton, but also between white and black South Africans. She was a leading member of a small group pressing for women to have the vote. And she also responded to the problems of her son, Jack Murray, by pioneering building public support for the mentally handicapped. These Reminiscences were written around 1913, probably at the request of her eldest daughter, May, who had started to publish every four months a Chronicle of the Family to keep everyone in touch with one another. Certainly, various instalments of the Reminiscences were published there. Caroline was at least sixty when she wrote them. They are fascinating primarily for the picture they give of the old Cape in the 1850s and 60s – both in Cape Town and in Caroline Murray (nee Molteno), wife of the tiny village of Beaufort West 300 miles away in the Karoo.

  • Hercules Crosse Jarvis (1803-1889) – a Biography
    1 Hercules Crosse Jarvis (1803-1889) – A Biography by R.F.M. Immelman (from material collected by Percy Alport Molteno) Introduction by Robert Molteno Hercules Jarvis, my great-great-grandfather, is a largely forgotten figure in the history of the Cape during the first half of the 19th century. But he played a leading role not just in Cape Town’s commercial life and as Chairman of Cape Town’s elected Board of Commissioners – in effect, as Mayor of the city (1848-60) – but also in two very important political struggles. The first, in 1848- 51, was to prevent Britain turning the Cape into a penal settlement as had happened to New South Wales. The second was the effort through the 1840s and first half of the 1850s to extract the right of self-government from a rather reluctant Imperial administration. Hercules Jarvis, our original South African Ancestor But Hercules has also been overlooked for the important place he occupies in the history of our own family. Moltenos are used to remembering John Charles Molteno, who arrived at the Cape in 1831, as our common ancestor. But Hercules had come to live at the Cape ten years earlier. John Charles became his son-in-law when he married Elizabeth Maria, one of Hercules’ daughters. So Hercules Jarvis and his Dutch-speaking wife, Elizabeth Magdalena Christina Vos (they married in 1825) are actually the original ancestors in Cape Town from whom all South African Moltenos and their descendants around the world can trace themselves. What is more, three of Hercules’ other daughters also married –Annie to Major Blenkins (in India), Sophia to Percy Alport (who set up in business in Beaufort West), and Elizabeth to James Bisset, the Scottish engineer who came out to the Cape in 1858 to help build the Wellington Railway.
