Despite the need for improved policy responses to human mobility, reform is hindered by lack of capacity, misinformation, and anti-migrant sentiments within and outside of government. This report outlines these trends and tensions by providing a broad overview of the limited demographic and socio-economic data available on migration to and within South Africa.

  • A Petrologist in South Africa: Frederick Henry Hatch and the Witwatersrand Goldfield
    A petrologist in South Africa: Frederick Henry Hatch and the Witwatersrand Goldfield R.J. Howarth* Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, London, WC1E 6BT --------------------------------------------------- *Tel.: +44 020 8332 7835. E-mail address: [email protected]. --------------------------------------------------- Keywords: History of geology; Gold mining; The Witwatersrand ABSTRACT The English geologist, Frederick Henry Hatch (1864-1932), today mainly recalled for a textbook on igneous petrology, emigrated to South Africa, where, in the years between 1892 and 1906, he became one of the pioneers of the geology of the Transvaal and the Witwatersrand Goldfield. This article reviews his life and, in particular, his work during this period which led to his becoming a mining geologist with connections to many of the world’s goldfields, set against the political background of the Boer War which influenced the course of his work. 1. Introduction The English geologist, Frederick Henry Hatch (1864-1932) is today probably recalled, if at all, simply as an author of The Petrology of the Igneous Rocks, which ran to 12 editions, the later ones co- authored with the igneous petrologists Alfred Kingsley Wells (1899-1980) and Maurice Kingsley Wells (1921-1994) (1st, Hatch, 1891c; 8th, Hatch and Wells, 1926; 10th, Hatch et al., 1949; 12th, Hatch et al., 1961). However, probably the most important parts of his career took place in South Africa between the years 1892 and 1906, during which time he established a reputation as a consulting mining engineer whose work had helped to unlock the economic potential of the Witwatersrand (commonly referred to as ‘the Rand’) Goldfield, which was becoming the world’s most productive.

  • When We Arrived in South Africa We Moved Into the Suburb of Doornfontein, Which Was the Lowest Rung of the Jewish Residential Ladder
    University of Pretoria etd – Rubin, M W (2005) “When we arrived in South Africa we moved into the suburb of Doornfontein, which was the lowest rung of the Jewish residential ladder. Those upon whom fortune smiled trekked northwards via Hillbrow and Yeoville, Bellevue and parts of Observatory. The great leap forward from lower to middle class was symbolised by Orange Grove and Highlands North. In these suburbs screamingly vulgar wrought-iron burglar proofing appeared to cover every square inch of access to the house . Beyond Orange Grove, suburbs like Park Town, Lower Houghton and Dunkeld were legends in the mind of a Doornfontein lad”. (Slovo, 1995: 14) CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Over four million Jews left Eastern Europe and the Pale of Settlement from the middle of the nineteenth century until the end of the Second World War (Lestchinsky, 1944). They left to escape the grinding poverty and innumerable degradations of their lives in Russia and dispersed and settled wherever they could find safety and opportunities for themselves and their families (Beth Hafuthsot, 1983). Jewish communities developed in South America, Australia, and South Africa and augmented the existing Jewish communities in Western Europe and North America (Medding and Elazar, 1983). The majority, over 75 per cent, settled in the United States and Canada between 1870 and 1930 (Wischinitzer, 1948). Yet only 70 – 80 000 Jews came to South Africa over the same time period. What is striking about this particular Jewish community is that over 80 per cent of the Jews who settled here are of Lithuanian extraction (Beth Hafutsoth, 1983).

  • The Apartheid City and Beyond: Urbanization and Social Change in South Africa/Edited by David M.Smith
    THE APARTHEID CITY AND BEYOND Apartheid as legislated racial separation substantially changed the South African urban scene. Race ‘group areas’ remodelled the cities, while the creation of ‘homelands’, mini-states and the ‘pass laws’ controlling population migration constrained urbanization itself. In the mid-1980s the old system-having proved economically inefficient and politically divisive—was replaced by a new policy of ‘orderly urbanization’. This sought to accelerate industrialization and cultural change by relaxing the constraints on urbanization imposed by state planning. The result: further political instability and a quarter of the black (or African) population housed in shanty towns. Negotiations between the nationalist government and the African National Congress are working towards the end of the old apartheid system. Yet the negation of apartheid is only the beginning of the creation of a new society. The vested interests and entrenched ideologies behind the existing pattern of property ownership survive the abolition of apartheid laws. Beyond race, class and ethnicity will continue to divide urban life. If the cities of South Africa are to serve all the people, the accelerating process of urbanization must be brought under control and harnessed to a new purpose. The contributors to this volume draw on a broad’range of experience and disciplines to present a variety of perspectives on urban South Africa. THE APARTHEID CITY AND BEYOND Urbanization and Social Change in South Africa edited by David M.Smith Professor of Geography, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London London and New York Witwatersrand University Press First published 1992 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.
