Whipping boys
In 1995, South Africa's Constitutional Court banned judicial corporal punishment of juveniles and soon thereafter legislation ended it for adults as well, marking an end to a practice that had been widespread since colonial times. During the apartheid period there was first a sharp rise in the use of judicial corporal punishment, contra the recommendations of the 1947 Landsdown Commission, and then a gradual decline after 1965, when legislation r…
You Are What You Eat Up
This article examines three incidents in the history of early colonial Natal in which colonial forces under Secretary for Native Affairs Theophilus Shepstone attacked subject chiefs, deposed them and seized their herds. These incidents, which presaged the later conflict with Langalibalele, constituted in local African terms ‘eating up’, a practice whereby a chief confiscated the property of a subject convicted of conspiring against him through wi…
The Man who would be Inkosi
African historiography looks to Theophilus Shepstone as the architect of a ‘system’ that presaged twentieth-century styles of indirect rule in Africa. But Shepstone’s ideas did not develop in a vacuum or emerge as a ready-made blueprint.

Now, in their own voices, we have the narratives of many of those lawyers as recounted in a series of oral interviews. Black Lawyers, White Courts is their story and the anti-apartheid stor…
Betrayed Trust
Much has been written of the drawing of the Africans of Natal into the white settler economy. The destructive effects, however, of that process on the African homestead economy in the reserves, on privately-owned land and on mission stations is analyzed in this text. This book, concerning dispossession and disintegration, is topical in view of the current importance of the landownership question
The Making of Modern South Africa
Introduction - the changing history of South Africa the conquest of the land changes in town and countryside white supremacy, segregation and apartheid the heyday of apartheid apartheid in decline
