25. Biography Of Sol Plaatje Plaatje, Soloman Tshekisho (18761932). Sol PlaatjeSolomon Tshekisho Plaatje was one of the most gifted and versatile black South Africans of his generation. http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/people/plaatje/plaatje.html

PLAATJE, Soloman Tshekisho (187 S olomon Tshekisho Plaatje was one of the most gifted and versatile black South Africans of his generation. He was in the forefront of the public affairs of the African people for the greater part of his adult life as politician, writer and journalist. He devoted his many talents to one overriding cause: the struggle of African people against injustice and dispossession during the second half of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century, that saw the country of his birth transformed from a colonial backwater into an industrial state. Plaatje was an accomplished linguist fluent in at least seven languages, but apart from writing in English he was very much preoccupied with the preservation of the Setswana language. He compiled the first Setswana phonetic reader titled A Sechuana Reader, a bilingual collection of Tswana folklore in collaboration with a well-known linguist, Daniel Jones, during his first trip to England. He also collected Setswana proverbs producing Sechuana Proverbs with Literal Translations during the same period. His preoccupation with the writings of Shakespeare led to the translation of several of his plays into Setswana of which only Diphosho-Phosho (Comedy of Errors) and Dikhontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara (Julius Caesar) survived.

Pages from History: Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje First ANC Secretary-General Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje was born on October 9, 1876 on a farm called Dornfontein in the north-western part of the Orange Free State, some thirty miles north east of Kimberley. He came from a family with a tradition of contact with Christianity that goes back to the 1820's. Later he went to Pniel near Barkly West in the Cape where he attended school. At the age of 9 and 10 he attended a Church of England mission school in Beaconsfield, some 18 miles from Prilel. This was in the late 1880's. Then back at Pniel he was progressing far beyond the other pupils; so be began to receive additional private instruction from the missionary, Ernest Westphal and his wife. At 13 he passed the Cape Education Department's standard 4 examinations: almost certainly the first pupil at Pniel to have achieved this. In February 1892 he was appointed a pupil/teacher, a post he held for two years . In March 1894 Plaatje left the mission station to take up a job in the Post Office in Kimberley as a letter earner a highly sought-after job because it was one of the relatively few avenues of opportunity open to Africans for employment. At 17 he seemed to have been well prepared for a life outside the limited confines of the Pniel mission. On March 1, 1894 Plaatje began work as a letter carrier in the Kimberley Post Office. The Kimberley Post Office had been the first in the Cape to employ Africans as messengers and letter carriers. This was in 1880 when the Post Office found it impossible to secure reliable and inexpensive white labour. This provoked the anger of the whites who felt threatened by this act. Plaatje remained in his job for four and a half years. This afforded him the opportunity to improve his command of the English language.

Those who have inspired us. Those who have defined us. Those who have shown us our common humanity. Sol Plaatje Literary Pioneer Sol Plaatje was born near Boshof in 1876 and educated at Pniel on the banks of the Vaal River. He was one of the foremost black leaders of his generation in South Africa. As the first general secretary of the African National Congress (ANC), founded in 1912, Plaatje was a prominent political spokesperson, interacting regularly with government officials and other leading whites in both South Africa and Great Britain. Plaatje was much more than a political figure, however. Prior to the formation of the ANC, he was a court interpreter at Mafeking, where he became caught up in the famous siege during the Anglo-Boer War. His diary of this period was later published as The Siege of Mafeking (1984). After the war he became editor of two successive newspapers, Koranta ea Becoana (Bechuana Gazette) and Tsala ea Becoana (The Friend of the Bechuana), both published in Setswana and English. As one of the band of pioneering African newspaper editors, he viewed his role as that of a "mouthpiece" for his people. It was this role that brought him to prominence and led to his selection as ANC general secretary. Plaatje was a significant writer. His political tract, Native Life in South Africa, was an angry denunciation of the 1913 Natives' Land Act. The first sentence is perhaps one of the hardest hitting political statements in South African history: "Awaking on Friday morning, June 20, 1913, the South African Native found himself, not actually a slave, but a pariah in the land of his birth."
