SOL T. PLAATJE (Près de Kimberley, État libre d’Orange, 1876 — 1932). Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje est né dans une mission luthérienne, d’une famille du clan des Barolong. Interprète, lors du siège de Mafeking, en février 1900, pendant la guerre anglo-boer, il tient un journal qui ne sera publié qu’en 1973 ( Mafeking Diary, a Black Man’s Point of View of a White Man’s War, éd. J. Comaroff et T. Couzens).Il a joué un rôle politique de premier plan : en 1909, il participe activement à la formation du SANC (Congrès indigène de l’Afrique du Sud), ancêtre de l’ANC de Nelson Mandela. En 1912, lors d’un séjour aux États-Unis, il publie un pamphlet, The Mote and the Beam, dans lequel il dénonce l’hypocrisie du comportement sexuel des Blancs en Afrique du Sud, au moment où ils jetaient les bases de la ségrégation raciale. Il dénonce dès son apparition le Land Act de 1913, qui confisque leur sol aux Africains, en ne leur laissant plus qu’environ 10 % de leur superficie ( Native Life in South Africa, Before and Since the European War and the Boer Rebellion

PLAATJE Mhudi : une épopée retraçant la vie des indigènes en Afrique du Sud il y a cent ans (Mhudi : An Epic of South African Native Life a Hundred Years Ago, 1930 ; 1978), traduit et postfacé par Jean Sévry, Actes Sud, « Afriques », 1997, 308 p., 138 F. « Les étoiles surplombaient un ciel pourpre. Pendant quelque temps, il y eut un silence impressionnant, sans la moindre brise : les feuilles se tenaient immobiles. Et puis une hyène se mit à hurler, suivie par un chacal et bientôt elle reconnut les hurlements des loups, les aboiements des chiens sauvages, tandis que d'autres animaux, en joignant leurs cris, rendaient la nuit encore plus effroyable. C'est au milieu de ces sons discordants, au pied d'un gros arbre qui avait poussé au centre d'un fourré, qu'elle retrouva la paix. Là, elle aplanit un tas d'herbe sur lequel elle s'étendit pour passer la nuit : ce lit à la belle étoile était vraiment confortable. Les broussailles lui faisaient écran et la protégeaient des rigueurs du vent du sud qui se leva plus tard, tandis que les branches à la cime de l'arbre lui fournissaient un excellent auvent. Tout en s'accroupissant pour passer la nuit, elle ouvrit les yeux, et son regard se perdit dans l'immensité des cieux qui la dominaient et elle y observa quelque chose qu'elle n'avait jamais remarqué auparavant Ce dôme immense, si altier et pourtant si éclatant, faisait penser à la puissance de son Créateur qui apparemment avait aussi créé les arbres, les oiseaux, les bêtes et les hommes : oui, ces hommes brutaux !

Lost in Translation Sol Plaatje, William 'Shake-the-Sword', and South African culture By Deborah Seddon In my native village in Johannesburg, there is a song that we always sing when a young girl gets married, it is called 'The Click Song' by the English, because they cannot say Quonqothwane. Miriam Makeba On June 15, 2000, in an address marking the occasion of renaming the Department of Education building in Pretoria as Sol Plaatje House the South African Minister for Education, Kader Asmal, suggested that with the new Education Department, established in 1994 as one for all South Africans, it was time to give the building a new name: to remind us of where we have come from, and to inspire us on the road to our destination, to proclaim that we South Africans are proud of our extraordinary, diverse heritage, to show the world that our diversity is the source of our unity. That is why we have chosen to name our building in honour of a great South African with whom we can all identify, from whom we can all learn. With his work also appearing in papers such as the Pretoria News and the Cape Argus Plaatje, among both black and white readers, was one of the most widely read black journalists of his day. His novel

Africa House Forgotten Writers: Sol Plaatje Who was Sol Plaatje? The first series of forgotten writers starts with South African author Sol Plaatje, polemicist, novelist, political leader, linguist and translator in the first half of the twentieth century. Plaatje stands alone as the giant of his time, though he can be compared with the great African newspaper pioneers in South Africa of this time. Plaatje started out with a modest education: 3-5 years of schooling (sources differ on this point), yet he not only became fluent in 10 languages, but wrote one of the first English-language novels on the African continent, translated works of Shakespeare into Tswana (this work, sadly, is lost), started several newspapers, helped to found the African National Congress, and campaigned tirelessly against racial policies of his time. Despite his Dutch surname, he was a Barolong. Possibly his greatest work is Native Life in South Africa Plaatje's book makes depressing reading when one thinks of what could have been. But at least today we have his example of the towering achievements of which an African even a person of extremely limited education is capable. Here are some alternative editions (both of these out of print in September 1998): Native life in South Africa : before and since the European war and the Boer Rebellion (paperback) Native life in South Africa : before and since the European war and the Boer Rebellion Other works of his worthy of mention are: Mhudi (the novel referred to earlier), a love story set in a world in which traditions were being torn down by the arrival of powerful foreigners the Boers

Administrative/Biographical History Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje was born on 9 October 1876, in the district of Boshof, Orange Free State, South Africa. His parents were Barolongs, coming originally from Thaba Ncho, and trekking eventually to Mafeking. He was educated at Pneil Mission Station (Berlin Missionary Society), near Barkly West, until he passed the fourth standard. He then worked as a student teacher, continuing his study through private lessons from the Rev. G.E. Westphal. In March 1894 he joined the Cape Government Service as a letter- carrier in the Kimberley Post Office. In his own time he studied languages and passed the Cape Civil Service examination in typewriting, Dutch and native languages. In 1898 he was transferred to Mafeking as interpreter, and during the Siege of Mafeking at the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899, he was appointed Dutch interpreter to the Court of Summary Jurisdiction. Plaatje decided to become a journalist in order to give a voice to the Bantu people. He edited a number of Bantu language newspapers including

University of Botswana History Department Electronic texts Sol Plaatje, Native Life in South Africa Introduction by Neil Parsons Contents page Introduction etc. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 ... To end of document Introduction, by Neil Parsons Native Life in South Africa is one of the most remarkable books on Africa, by one of the continent's most remarkable writers. It was written as a work of impassioned political propaganda, exposing the plight of black South Africans under the whites-only government of newly unified South Africa. It focuses on the effects of the 1913 Natives' Land Act which introduced a uniform system of land segregation between the races. It resulted, as Plaatje shows, in the immediate expulsion of blacks, as "squatters", from their ancestral lands in the Orange Free State now declared "white". But Native Life succeeds in being much more than a work of propaganda. It is a vital social document which captures the spirit of an age and shows the effects of rural segregation on the everyday life of people. Solomon Tshekeisho Plaatje was born in 1878 in the lands of the Tswana-speaking people, south of Mafeking. His origins were ordinary enough. What was remarkable was the aptitude he showed for education and learning after a few years schooling under the tuition of a remarkable liberal German Lutheran missionary, the Rev. Ludorf. At the age of sixteen Plaatje (using the Dutch nickname of his grandfather as a surname) joined the Post Office as a mail-carrier in Kimberley, the diamond city in the north of Cape Colony. He subsequently passed the highest clerical examination in the colony, beating every white candidate in both Dutch and typing.
