A brand new Stadium is to be built in preparation for this soccer spectacle and lots of tourists are expected to flock to our friendly city. The new Stadium will entirely replace an existing venue used for football and athletics, the De Beers Stadium, and will become a symbol of pride for the often deprived communities of the Northern Cape. As the nation came to a stand-still on Saturday, 14th May 2004, in anticipation of who the winner will be before the announcement of the nation to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, residents of Kimberley at their homes - some of them gathered at the Yorkshire Cricket Ground in Galeshewe - were part of this euphoria that had captured the hearts and minds of everyone in the country. And as the president of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, opened the envelope to announce that South Africa had won the right to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup Bid celebrations began from the township of Galeshewe right through to the CBD.

Pniel Site Description Our main research site is at Pniel, on the southern side of the Vaal River near Barkly West (30 km north of Kimberley) in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. View of the Vaal river at Pniel Pniel is perhaps better known as the place where Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje grew up in the late 1800's. Sol. T. Plaatje was the first black African author of a novel ( Mhudi ) in English, editor of three newspapers, and first secretary-general of the South African Native National Congress, later to be called the African National Congress (ANC). His books Native Life in South Africa (1916 - P.S. King Publishers, London) and his diary of the Siege of Mafeking during the 2nd Anglo-Boer War (published posthumously as: Comaroff, J.L. (ed.). 1973. The Boer War Diary of Sol T. Plaatje, an African at Mafeking . MacMillan, London) provide unique insights into the hardships faced by black South Africans in the early part of the 20th century.

With this stamp issue we focus on four people whose writing skills came to the fore as a result of their involvement in the Anglo-Boer/South African War. These writers each experienced the war from a different perspective, giving us their own unique views. On the R4,40 stamp two authors who wrote on the war from a British perspective are depicted. They are Winston Churchill and Arthur Conan Doyle. On the R2,30 stamp two authors who told their story from a South African point of view, Johanna Brandt and Sol Plaatje, are shown. Winston Churchill - Churchill who came to South Africa as a war correspondent, was taken Prisoner of War by the Boer forces. In one of the controversial incidents of the war he escaped and returned to London in a blaze of glory. He wrote two books on the war, From London to Ladysmith via Pretoria and Ian Hamilton's March.

History 1123 - Spring 2001 Final Paper: Mafeking Diary or Daughter of the River Paper So far you have based your writing on source fragments as opposed to complete sources of a more extensive (and therefore more complex and interesting) nature. In this third paper your task is to choose one of the topics listed below and use Mafeking Diary or Daughter of the River to approach one of the historical questions/problems I have outlined below. You have now had the chance to use primary sources to describe a particular context, so it should come as no surprise that in this paper some additional skills will be coming into play. In addition to using the source or sources you choose to describe a particular historical context, each of the questions below asks you to analyze the biases of your chosen source and incorporate that information into your analysis. You are also going to be asked not just to talk generally about how a force or forces caused change but rather to recreate or reconstruct how a particular facet of the society you are examining functioned based on source analysis. Your essay should be three to four pages in length, typed and double-spaced. You should also use standard margins, and 12 pt. Courier or Times New Roman font. In addition, you must document what you write with footnotes. For more on footnoting and some tips on writing historical essays, see as before the general guidelines for writing section of the course syllabus. And now....on to the topics for

/millennium/ Home Business Times readRight Big Break ... FAQ/Site Map 02 January 2000 Sol Plaatje Writer 'They might have warned us that Englishmen would agree with Dutchmen to make it unlawful for black men to keep milk cows of their own' IN THE winter of 1913, as the Natives' Land Bill passed into law, author and activist Sol Plaatje travelled the countryside observing and recording the immediate effects of the Act, which made it almost impossible for blacks to own or work the land, overnight stripping a generation of tenant farmers of abundant self-sufficiency and driving them into cheap labour pools for white farmers. In this excerpt from his famous book in response to the passing of the Act, Native Life in South Africa , Plaatje recalls better times: 'WELL, we knew that this law was as harsh as its instigators were callous, and we knew that it would, if passed, render many poor people homeless, but it must be confessed that we were scarcely prepared for such a rapid and widespread crash as it caused in the lives of the natives in this neighbourhood. "We left our luggage the next morning with the local mission school teacher, and crossed the river to find out some more about this wonderful law of extermination. It was about 10am when we landed on the south bank of the Vaal River - the picturesque Vaal River, upon whose banks a hundred miles farther west we spent the best and happiest days of our boyhood.

94. Native Life In South Africa - Foreword Sol Plaatje began work on `Native Life in South Africa in 1914, while on his way to Britain to plead with the Imperial Government against the Natives Land http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/hst/african/NativeLifeinSouthAfrica

Native Life in South Africa by Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Terms Contents Foreword Introduction ... Part II Foreword y Sol. T. Plaatje Editor of `Tsala ea Batho', Kimberley, S.A. Author of `Sechuana Proverbs and their European Equivalents' South African (ethnic Tswana) Editor, Author, Statesman. 1876?-1932. First Secretary-General of the South African Native National Congress (forerunner of the ANC), 1912-1917. Author of "Mhudi", generally considered the first novel written by a black South African. The two portraits are not available for this ASCII text. They are titled "The Author." and "Mrs. S. T. Plaatje. Without whose loyal co-operation this book would never have been written." Sol Plaatje began work on `Native Life in South Africa' in 1914, while on his way to Britain to plead with the Imperial Government against the Natives' Land Act of 1913, as part of a deputation of the South African Native National Congress. The book was intended as a means of reaching the British public with the deputation's message. The method seemed sound enough it was quite similar in form to the successful deputation which had pleaded to keep Bechuanaland (modern Botswana) under direct Imperial control in 1895. But circumstances were different in 1914 South Africa had been granted self-government, and the First World War began shortly after the deputation's arrival in England and distracted all parties. This latter event also influenced the final form of the book, as Plaatje played to the patriotic sentiment so strong in Britain at the time. For all his appeals, Plaatje did not succeed: the Act went on to become one of the first steps toward the system of Apartheid. For all that, there is sometimes in defeat the seeds of victory these troubles united black South Africans like nothing before, and Plaatje's successors, in the form of the ANC, finally succeeded in the early 1990's.
