Race around the Mountain
Early accounts place the origins of bicycle racing among the Coloured population of Cape Town at the turn of the twentieth century. By 1930, an active sporting landscape had emerged that included numerous organized clubs, regular road and track events, a regional organizing board, and an established set of local racing stars. Yet as the period moved forward, competitive cycling became subject to a set of larger forces that would affect uses of ur…
Racing on the Rand
The history of bicycle racing amongst urban black South Africans exists largely outside of published academic literature.

History with a Mission
He was the first man who was clever enough to realize he could sell some green maize at the mine in Penhalonga... Even to build the good houses, you had to come and copy from Kawadza. To buy ploughshares, they had to come and copy from Kawadza... Even those who bought cars, they had to copy from Kawadza... Chief Gandanzara used to walk on foot whenever he wanted to meet anyone. But because of seeing Kawadza riding a horse, he himself decided to r…
