  • Art S.5 Holiday Work Project Work
    ART S.5 HOLIDAY WORK PROJECT WORK Make a study of the landscape around your home. S5 CRE 3 HW DR. JOHANN LUDWIG KRAPF Johann Ludwig Krapf (1810 - 1881) was a German missionary in East Africa, as well as an explorer, linguist, and traveler. Krapf played an important role in exploring East Africa with Johannes Rebmann. They were the first Europeans to see Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro. Krapf also played a key role in exploring the East African coastline. EARLY LIFE Krapf was born into a Lutheran family of farmers in southwest Germany. From his school days onward he developed his gift for languages. He initially studied Latin, Greek, French and Italian. More languages were to follow throughout his life. After finishing school he joined the Base! Mission Seminary at age 17 but discontinued his studies as he had doubts about his missionary vocation. He read theology and graduated in 1834. While working as an assistant village pastor, he met a Basel missionary who encouraged him to resume his missionary vocation. In 1836 he was invited by the Anglican Church Missionary Society (CMS) to join their work in Ethiopia. Basel Mission seconded him to the Anglicans and from 1837- 1842 he worked in this ancient Christian land. Krapf later left Ethiopia and centered his interest on the Oromo - the Galla, people of southern Ethiopia who then were largely traditional believers. He learned their language and started translating parts of the New Testament into it. While 1842 saw Krapf receive a doctorate from Tubingen University for his research into the Ethiopian languages, it also witnessed the expulsion of all Western missionaries from Ethiopia, which ended his work there.

  • Biblical Translations of Early Missionaries in East and Central Africa. I. Translations Into Swahili
    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 15, 2006, 1, 80-89 BIBLICAL TRANSLATIONS OF EARLY MISSIONARIES IN EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA. I. TRANSLATIONS INTO SWAHILI Viera Pawlikov A-V ilhanov A Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia e-mail: [email protected] Johann Ludwig Krapf, a German Lutheran in the service of the Anglican Church Missionary Society, was not only the first modem missionary in East Africa, he was a pioneer in the linguistic field and biblical translation work especially with regard to Swahili. A little later Bishop Edward Steere in Zanzibar translated into Swahili and published the New Testament and in 1891 the entire Bible. The pioneering linguistics of early missionaries, Ludwig Krapf, Bishop Steere and Father Sacleux set a high standard for a succession of Swahili experts and Steere’s Swahili Bible provided a basis for Biblical translations into other East African vernaculars. Key words: East and Central Africa, early Christian missionaries, Swahili, Bible translations. The first modem missionary who pioneered missionary work in East and Central Africa was Johann Ludwig Krapf, a German Lutheran from Württem­ berg, educated in Basel, who arrived in East Africa on 7 January 1844 in the service of the Anglican Church Missionary Society.1 Krapf joined the CMS to participate in new Protestant mission initiatives in Christian Ethiopia2 and he started his missionary career in the Tigré province in 1837. Unable to work there, he went instead to the Shoa kingdom where in 1839 he and his co-work­ ers were warmly received by the king, Sahle Selassie, only to be expelled in 1842 for political reasons.

TANCOSS offered a choice between repatriation and naturalization to 220,000 Burundian refugees who had been living in three rural settlements in Western Tanzania (Ulyankulu, Katumba and Mishamo) since 1972. It was an unprecedented intervention and it garnered international attention and support (Milner 2014). Initially, obtaining citizenship was meant to be conditional on relocation away from the refugee settlements. This plan, however, was renounced, and ultimately those who opted for citizenship were permitted to remain on the land of the settlements.

  • Book Reviews 267
    Book Reviews 267 BOOK REVIEWS Reisen in Ostafrika ausgeführt in den Jahren 1837-1855. By Ludwig Krapf. Edited, and with an Introduction by Werner Raupp. Münster/Hamburg: LIT Verlag, 1995. Two volumes. xii + 506 pp.; 522 pp. DM 88.80. It would be hard to imagine the history of African exploration without the Protestant missionary Johann Ludwig Krapf ( 1810-18 81 ), whose origins lay in Southern Germany. He ranks not only as the pioneer of missionary work in East Africa, but also as one of the first great African explorers. Geographers and historians have acclaimed him as the man who "drew back the veil" from East Equatorial Africa. He distinguished himself as such through his research in the fields of geography and linguistics as well as through his ethnological studies. Reisen in Ostafrika, which appeared in German in 1858 and contains broad-based descriptions of Krapf s travels, which took him to Ethiopia and above all to what is now Kenya and Tanzania, has long since become a classic of African literature, having also undergone translations into English (1860, 1968) and Swahili (1963). Having grown up in Wirttemberg surrounded by a wealth of pietist traditions (Vol. 1, pp. 3-24), Krapf entered the service of the Anglican Church Missionary Society. In 1837 he was sent to Ethiopia . (pp. 25-195), but in 1844 he turned his attention to East Equatorial Africa, which had not at that time been settled by Europeans. In 1846, together with Johannes Rebmann (1820-1876), a former winegrower from Gerlingen'near Stuttgart, he first established a missionary station (Rabbai Mpia) in the mountainous hinterland of Mombassa.

  • East Africa in the Region Between Lake Albert and Lake Edward
    SENIOR ONE increasing numbers of people and animals. Because the children loved adventure, they decided to leave their cradle land and move to other places. Most of these children moved eastwards. One of them was Mukasa, who entered East Africa in the region between Lake Albert and Lake Edward. Some members of his family settled around Lake George, while others continued and settled in areas north-west of Lake Victoria. Another group moved and settled on the Tanzania plateau and the Taita Hills. Another group became discontented and moved northwards, settling around Mount Kilimanjaro. There was also another group that entered East Africa between Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. Yet another group, led by Nyerere, entered East Africa between Lake Kivu and Lake Tanganyika and settled in central Tanzania. Other groups crossed to eastern Uganda and western Kenya. These settled around the Mount Elgon area. From central Tanzania, other members moved northwards towards Mount Kilimanjaro and the coast. Some people settled around the Kenyan highlands and these were led by Ngugi. 1. Draw a sketch map of East Africa and show the movements of Mukasa, Nyerere and Ngugi and their families. 2. In a group, identify why Ntambazi’s family moved away from their cradleland in Niger, in the Congo Basin. 3. From the story above, draw a simple table showing the reasons for their coming to East Africa. Activity 3.4: Fieldwork and migrations In groups: 1. Carryout a fieldwork study in the local area and ask people where they came from, why they migrated and why they settled where they are.

    Expansion of violence in early modern Africa 1 ‘None could stand before him in the battle, none ever reigned so wisely as he’: the expansion and significance of violence in early modern Africa Richard Reid Mwezi and Mirambo The quotation in the title belongs to the nineteenth-century explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley, who was writing in the context of the Nyamwezi people, in north-central Tanzania, in the 1870s.1 Stanley’s larger concern was Mirambo (c.1840–84), who was either, depending on one’s perspective, a great warrior and would-be state-builder, or an outright bandit and emblem of Africa’s savage, backward condition. What is clear is that this was a period of profound political, economic, and military upheaval, a transformative moment for the Nyamwezi and one replicated across the continent in the course of the nineteenth century. But the Stanley quotation is not in reference to Mirambo himself: rather, it reflected local memories of Mirambo’s supposed distant ancestor, an ‘ancient ruler’ called Mwezi, and thus represented a desire on the part of the revolutionary Mirambo – and on the part of the Nyamwezi in an age of revolution – to discern historical gravity and continuity in turbulent times. Mwezi may or may not have been an actual historical figure; but more importantly, in many ways, he was interpreted by Stanley’s informants as embodying two critical characteristics – the unstop- pable warrior with the ability to wield maximum force on the field of combat, and the wise, judicious ruler. On the one hand, Mirambo himself was keen not to be seen as a mere upstart with newly acquired firearms, but rather as the modern incarnation of an illustrious predecessor, his violence restorative and aimed at the re-creation of unity and stability.
