Paravicini di Capelli, Reize in de binnen-landen van Zuid-Africa v Voorwoord Dit het nog nie tevore voorgekom dat die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging 'n handskrif uitgee wat ook die onderwerp uitmaak van een van sy vorige uitgawes nie. Die joernaal van kapt. W.B.E. Paravicini di Capelli wat hier volg, handel naamlik oor dieselfde reis van genl. J.W. Janssens van 1803 wat beskryf is deur Dirk Gysbert van Reenen wie se dagverhaal deur wyle dr. Elizabeth Conradie in 1932 in Nederland ontdek is, en in 1937 as nr. 18 van sy publikasiereeks deur die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging uitgegee is. Soos hierna aangetoon sal word, het ons hier egter te doen met twee geheel onafhanklike tekste wat na die feiteinhoud mekaar dikwels aanvul. Hulle vertoon nogtans ook 'n interessante teenstelling. Aan die een kant is daar die siening van die jong Nederlandse offisier wat die Afrikaner van die binneland die eerste keer ontmoet en wat met onbevange bewondering die skilderagtige in die natuur om hom gadeslaan. Aan die ander kant staan die Kaapse burger Van Reenen, rustig en ervare, wat eerder oor vee en boerdery skrywe as forse natuurskoon. Die aard van die veld en weiding sien hy eerste raak, en oor die aanraking tussen blank, Hottentot en Kôsa druk by hom so geheel anders uit as die jeugdige aide-de-camp Paravicini, kersvers uit Europa, met die humanitêre denkbeelde wat hy, soos sy Bataafse meesters aan die Kaap, met oormoedige selfversekering in sy joernaal indra. In haar dissertasie van 1934 (Hollandse Skrywers uit Suid-Afrika, deel I) het Elizabeth Conradie dan ook reeds die vergelyking tussen die geskrifte van Paravicini en Van Reenen na styl en strekking nader uitgewerk, sonder om egter te wys op die presiese verband tussen die ongepubliseerde joernaal van Paravicini ('n partikuliere teks vir vriende en familie) en die amptelike joernaal van genl. Janssens (ook deur Paravicini bygehou) wat in 1932 deur dr. E.C. Godée Molsbergen in die vierde deel van sy Reizen in Zuid-Afrika opgeneem is. Vir haar doel het sy die twee tekste as identies beskou terwyl daar wat inhoud en selfs woordgebruik betref deurgaans belangrike verskille aan te toon is. Afgesien van die byna algehele gebrek aan toeligting by Godée Molsbergen se uitgawe van die amptelike Paraviciniteks, kan ter regverdiging van die huidige publikasie van die partikuliere teks, wat tot op groot hoogte woordeliks met die amptelike ooreenstem, daarop gewys word dat die uitgawe van Godée Molsbergen vandag al taamlik moeilik bekombaar is. Nadat ek die handskrif in 1952 in Den Haag te sien gekry het, is vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Staatsargief 'n mikrofilm daarvan vervaardig wat later afgedruk en oorgetik is. W.B.E. Paravicini di Capelli, Reize in de binnen-landen van Zuid-Africa vi Aan die Raad van die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging wat in 1957 my aanbod aanvaar het om die handskrif vir publikasie voor te berei, wil ek hiermee graag dank en waardering betuig. Die taak van die bewerker is aansienlik bevorder deur die annotasie by die Van Reenen-dagverhaal soos destyds deur wyle prof. dr. W. Blommaert aangevoor en voltooi deur prof. dr. J.A. Wiid. Daarbenewens was daar drie weergawes beskikbaar van die bekende landreis van die kommissaris-generaal J.A. de Mist en sy geselskap wat uit Kaapstad vertrek het binne twee maande nadat goewerneur J.W. Janssens teruggekeer het. Onderweg is nie alleen grotendeels dieselfde roete gevolg as dié wat Paravicini beskryf nie, maar is baie van dieselfde persone teengekom wat hy noem. Die reis van De Mist is naamlik uitvoerig beskrywe deur Lichtenstein. Dit is ook kort saamgevat in die ‘Klad Journaal’ van De Mist wat in die Lichtensteinargief tereg gekom het en sedertdien deur Theal (in sy Belangrijke Historische Dokumenten, deel III) gepubliseer is. Voorts is op hoogs interessante wyse deur die jong dogter van die kommissaris-generaal, jonkvrou Julie Philippe Augusta de Mist, haar reisindrukke in Frans opgeteken, wat later in Nederlands gepubliseer is en in 1954 ook 'n Engelse weergawe in Suid-Afrika beleef het. Aan die volgende wil ek graag my dank hiermee betuig: Die bestuur van die Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Den Haag, vir toestemming om die handskrif wat sedert 1917 in hul besit is, te publiseer. Die Publikasiekomitee van die Universiteit van Pretoria wat die maak van 'n foto-afdruk van die handskrif bekostig het. Die Nasionale Raad vir Sosiale Navorsing wat deur 'n ad hoc-toekenning dit vir my moontlik gemaak het om die nodige argiefondersoek in Kaapstad te onderneem, om feitlik die hele roete deur Paravicini beskryf per motor te volg en, sover as huidige paaie dit toelaat, plckname te kontroleer. Dr. A. Wypkema van Pretoria wat as verteenwoordiger van die Suid-Afrikaanse Staatsargief in Nederland die huisargief van W.B.E. Paravicini di Capelli, genealogiese materiaal oor die familie Paravicini, en diverse verwysings van biografiese aard opgespoor het, soos hierna nader erken. Die Kaapse Drie Eeue-stigting wat goedgunstiglik die koste bygedra het van die vervaardiging van die cliché vir die kleurportret van die skrywer wat as frontispies hierby verskyn. Die Uitgeverij T. Wever (Boekhandel T. Wever, Franeker/Stellenbosch) vir goedgunstige verlof om die afdruk te publiseer van die portret van genl. J.W. Janssens wat verskyn het in A. en H. Algra: Dispereert niet (deel 4, derde druk), T. Wever, Franeker. Prof. dr. J.A. Engelbrecht, voorheen hoogleraar in Bantoetale aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, tans professor-emeritus van die Strand, wat by die Kôsa-woordelys in die handskrif die taalkundige toeligting gevoeg het. Die personeel van die argiefbewaarplekke in Pretoria en Kaapstad en van W.B.E. Paravicini di Capelli, Reize in de binnen-landen van Zuid-Africa vii die S.A. Openbare Biblioteek, Kaapstad, wat my steeds ter wille was by die ondersoek en die voorbereiding van die verlugting. Die Departement van Aardrykskunde van die Universiteitskollege Wes-Kaapland, en by name mnr. J.F. Engelbrecht, B.A. (hons.) wat met moeite en sorg die kaarte geteken het. Mnr. W. Tyrrell-Glynn, adjunk-direkteur van die S.A. Openbare Biblioteek, Kaapstad, wat op my versoek my Engelse weergawe van die inleiding en die samevattende vertaling gelees het. Die ere-sekretaresse van die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging, mev. M.G. Ashworth, vir haar vriendelike hulp om die uitgawe op die pers te besorg. Mej. Swante Bos, tans van Johannesburg, wat oorspronklik die handskrif van die foto-afdruk af oorgetik het. Dis my 'n voorreg om hier 'n besondere woord van dank en erkentlikheid ten slotte by te voeg teenoor my eggenote wat die opofferende taak op haar geneem het om al die tikwerk vir my te doen. W.J.

Paravicini di Capelli, Reize in de binnen-landen van Zuid-Africa xi Inleiding A. Lewensloop van die skrywer Die reisjoernaal wat tans vir die eerste keer hier gepubliseer word, nagenoeg 162 jaar ná die gebeurtenisse waarop dit betrekking het, is bygehou deur Willem Bartholomé Eduard Paravicini di Capelli (1778-1848), kaptein van die artillerie in die leër van die Bataafse Republiek, en aide-de-camp van genl. Jan Willem Janssens, goewerneur en generaal en chef van die Kaap de Goede Hoop van 1803 tot 1806. Met uitsondering van die verwysings na Paravicini deur Lichtenstein, wat hom persoonlik geken het as reisgenoot uit Europa, en by geleentheid saam met hom op reis was van Kaapstad na Swellendam, word hy nêrens in die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedkundige literatuur vermeld nie, en oor sy verblyf aan die Kaap - van Desember 1802 tot April 1805 - is by die amptelike stukke maar 'n betreklik skrale neerslag te vinde.

Cape burgerschap and faction disputes in Cape Town in the 1770s. Teunis Baartman October 2011 The Cape of Good Hope was rocked by a period of political turmoil at the end of the 1770s and beginning of 1780s. Coenraad Beyers published an extensive study about this period and labelled the protesters: Cape Patriots (‘Die Kaapse Patriotte’). In his view they were pre-Afrikaner burghers who, driven by ideological arguments, opposed a colonial VOC tyranny. This thesis aims to revise this analysis, while seeking to demonstrate that late eighteenth century Cape society was marked by a complex and intertwined network of status groups. Town The burgher protests are used as a case study to illustrate that the Cape settlement was part and parcel of the Dutch empire. The protesters emphasised that their burgerschap was on par with that in cities in theCape Dutch Republic.

  • 7. Impofu Grid Connection Rev Paleontology Report.Pdf
    1 PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE: COMBINED DESKTOP & FIELD-BASED BASIC ASSESSMENT Grid connection for the proposed Impofu North, Impofu West & Impofu East Wind Farms near Humansdorp, Eastern Cape John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The present report provides a palaeontological heritage Basic Assessment of the proposed Impofu grid connection. This includes (a) the approximately 120 km-long, 2 km-wide 132 kV grid connection corridor between the proposed Impofu North, Impofu West and Impofu East Wind Farms and the national grid in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) near Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. Potential impacts of the proposed new Impofu collector switching station, wind farm switching stations and short 132 kV transmission lines linking them to the collector switching station as well as of substation extension areas are also considered. The report is based on a combined desktop and field-based study of the preferred grid connection corridor, incorporating a 2 km wide zone, with a special focus on areas underlain by potentially fossiliferous bedrocks. The grid connection study area is underlain by several formations of potentially fossiliferous sediments of the Gamtoos Group, Cape Supergroup, Uitenhage Group and Algoa Group (Sections 6 & 7, Table 1). However, on the southern coastal platform most of the fossils originally preserved in these bedrocks appear to have been destroyed by tectonic deformation and deep chemical weathering. The overlying Late Caenozoic superficial sediments such as alluvium, soils and ferricretes, are likewise of low palaeontological sensitivity. Relict patches of Plio-Pleistocene aeolianites (wind-blown sands) of the Nanaga Formation (Algoa Group) present in the subsurface on the interior coastal platform contain Early Stone Age artefacts but any associated fossils such as mammalian remains, or terrestrial gastropods have probably been destroyed by weathering here.

    IDENTIFICATION AND MAPPING OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS IN THE CAPE METROPOLITAN AREA (CMA) HERITAGE COMPONENT Prepared for Cape Metropolitan Council Project No: J90136a June 1999 Prepared by Tim Hart & Belinda Mutti Archaeology Contracts Office Department of Archaeology University of Cape Town Private Bag Rondebosch 7701 Phone (021) 650 2357 Fax (021) 650 2352 Email [email protected] CMC HERITAGE RESOURCES SENSITIVITY STUDY ACCOMPANYING STATEMENT This statement accompanies the set of maps and spreadsheets produced by the Archaeology Contracts Office for Gibb Africa and The Cape Metropolitan Council. It is designed to place the work in context so users of the final product will understand how the information was collected and the implications thereof. 1. Team members We are a team of professional archaeologists who have extensive local knowledge of heritage issues and sites. We have collected the information contained in the spreadsheets and maps. Thus the areas, sites and priorities that have been identified in the study reflect our background and values. Perceptions of what is an important heritage object or site range from places valued by members of a small community, to broadly recognised places of historical or community distinction. This study cannot cover the entire range of possibilities, however we have attempted to identify areas that are known and significant to a range of people who work regularly in the heritage field. This includes historic landscapes, buildings, graveyards (disused), shipwrecks, colonial and pre-colonial archaeological sites. 2. Parameters The new heritage legislation (the South African Heritage Resources Act of 1999) has been the guidline to which we have referred with respect to identification of areas and definition of sensitivity.
