A Historical Overview of Boer Guerrilla and British Counterinsurgency Operations During the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
The year 1901 saw an upsurge in Boer guerrilla and concomitant British counterinsurgency operations during the Anglo-Boer (South African) War of 1899 to 1902 – especially in the wake of the failed Middelburg peace negotiations. One hundred and twenty years later, it is appropriate that these events should be revisited. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Boer guerrilla and British counterinsurgency operations, including e…

Enkele perspektiewe rakende die organisasie van die Oranje-Vrystaatse burgermag in Oktober 1899
The purpose of this article is to discuss the structure and organization of the Orange Free State (OFS) Boer republic’s citizen force army in October 1899 (that is when the Anglo-Boer War or South African War broke out). A basic question is whether the structure of the OFS armed forces was indeed effective as far as the organization of these armed forces was concerned. It will be indicated how and why the OFS citizen army command structure was ad…
Die geldgeskiedenis van die Vrystaat, 1854-1902, met spesiale verwysing na die numismatiese versameling van die Nasionale Museum in Bloemfontein
This article deals with the money history of the republic of the Orange Free State (1854-1902), and uses specific examples from the numismatic collection of the National Museum, Bloemfontein. The Free State never had its own coinage. With the exception of Free State “good fors”, which were used to combat a shortage in coins, the republic had to make use of British and Transvaal coins. The idea of an own coinage was, however, raised on more than o…

May 1915
Less than a year after the outbreak of the Great (First World) War, the sinking of the passenger ship, RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915 by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland and the death of 1 198 of its passengers and crew, including at least 128 from the then still neutral United States of America, led to much condemnation. In many Allied countries there also followed anti-German protests and riots, including in the Union of South Africa. O…

Suid-Afrikaanse kapelaansvroue en die Grensoorlog (1966-1989)
South African chaplains' spouses and the Border War (1966-1989): A case study of denominational pastoral care. Pastoral care of soldiers during times of war and armed conflict has been part and parcel of the Christian religion since the Council of Ratisbon officially authorised chaplains for armies in 742. However, studies in South Africa revealed that government institutions and especially the Dutch-Afrikaans denominations did not wholeheartedly…

Die problematisering van die etiese
Deon Meyer’s fifth crime novel, Infanta (2004), appears inherently South African, both as regards a clearly recognisable physical environment and as social, political and moral landscape. However, it also stands in a long international literary tradition of crime and detective fiction. Unlike the majority of earlier Afrikaans crime novels, Meyer’s work relates to the American hard-boiled tradition rather than the British tradition of genteel dete…

The roots of contemporary governmental and non-governmental environmental activities in South Africa, 1654-1972
Ten einde die eietydse regerings- en nieregerings-omgewingsaktiwiteite in Suid-Afrika na behore te kan begryp en te kan beoordeel, word in hierdie artikel 'n evaluerende oorsig gegee van die ontstaan en ontwikkeling van "environmentalism" in Suid-Afrika vanaf 1654 (toe die eerste maatreëls ingestel is om die omgewing vanaf staatsweë te bewaar) tot en met 1972 (toe die United Nations Conference on the Human Environment te Stockholm wêreldwyd 'n nu…

The United Nations Arms Embargo Against South Africa, 1977–1994
This articles weighs the impact of the United Nations embargoes, especially those on armaments acquisition placed on the Republic of South Africa in the late 1970s, and analyses the resultant growth in a local armaments industry, its effect upon the performance and capabilities of the South African Defence Force, and the economic, social, and political factors that combined to help bring about the end of apartheid in that country in 1994

Jacob Petrus (“Japie”) Neser (1873-1959) is een van die minder bekende Kaapse koloniale rebelle en bevelvoerders van die Anglo-Boereoorlog wat vanaf 1899 tot 1902 in Suid-Afrika gewoed het. Dit is die doel van hierdie artikel om in besonder die fokus op die doen en late van ‘n gewone rebel, wat later tot ‘n offisiersrang bevorder is, te plaas, ten einde sy optrede aan ‘n breër leserspubliek bekend te stel, en tegelyk ook die aard van die guerrill…

Die Anglo-Boereoorlog (1899-1902) in die Afrikaanse letterkunde
This study reviews Afrikaans literary works (poems, plays, novels and short stories) dealing with the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). War poems written by well- known Afrikaans poets such as Jan F.E. Celliers, Eugène Marais, C. Louis Leipoldt, Totius and D.J. Opperman, as well as some of the few plays that have the war as background, receive attention. See in this regard, for example, N.P. van Wyk Louw's Die pluimsaad waai ver of bitter begin, which …
