The University of South Africa (Unisa) 1918–1948
This article traces the first of what would become several significant transitions in the evolution of the University of South Africa (Unisa); that from University of the Cape of Good Hope (UCGH), an institution with a distinct English tradition loosely based on the ‘liberal’ constitution of the Cape Colony, to a more segregationist Afrikaner-dominated university by 1946. This was largely shaped by national politics, in particular the rise of Afr…

Mining and 'Traditional Communities' in South Africa's 'Platinum Belt
In June 2012 at its policy conference, the African National Congress (ANC) rejected nationalisation of the country's ailing mining industry. The ANC proposed an alternative plan comprised of the imposition of higher taxes and penalties on mining houses, local beneficiation of minerals and a greater role for the state in new mining ventures. More recently the idea of a ‘super tax’ on profits has been mooted by the Minister for Energy and Minerals,…
The African National Congress in the Western Transvaal/Northern Cape Platteland, c. 1910–1964
This article examines the nature and trajectory of ANC engagement with the predominantly rural inhabitants of the former western Transvaal/northern Cape, the region of the present-day North-West province. Even before the formal launching of the ANC, a number of influential figures in the region, in particular members of the Molema family in Mafikeng, provided an intellectual framework for the founding of an African nationalist movement. From its …
Bophuthatswana and the North-West Province
This paper explores the legacy and impact of Bophuthatswana on South Africa's North-West province. Formed after the introduction of a unitary and democratic South Africa in 1994, the new province comprised most of the former ‘homeland’ and the western Transvaal, and a section of the far northern Cape. Following earlier contributions made by scholars dealing with the transition of the ‘homeland’, we pursue the views and analyses expressed there, p…

“Punching Above its Weight”. The Mafikeng Anti-Repression Forum (Maref) and the Fall of Bophuthatswana
This article traces the history of the Mafikeng Anti-Repression Forum (Maref) that operated in the former homeland of Bophuthatswana from early 1990 to late 1994. It was the only human rights organisation in Bophuthatswana. Maref's work was in five areas. Firstly, it monitored human rights abuses as a consequence of political repression in the homeland. Secondly, it responded to these abuses by means of disseminating the facts behind them. Thirdl…
The Evolution and Destruction of Oorlam Communities in the Rustenburg District of South Africa
This is a study of two Oorlam communities in the Rustenburg district. The one, Welgeval, was predominantly rural, the other Bethlehem, otherwise known as the Oorlam Locasie, in Rustenburg town itself, was mostly urban in character. They were situated no more than 60 kilometres apart. They were both off-springs of Boer, later Afrikaner society, and, to a lesser extent, of attachment to missionaries. They both survived for approximately the same du…

The Richest Tribe in Africa
The Bafokeng are a Setswana-speaking community long settled near present-day Rustenburg. This article focuses on their protracted legal battle with Impala Platinum in recent times to improve their royalties. It also analyses the interconnection of this struggle in the 1980s with the political consequences of Bafokeng incorporation into the apartheid 'homeland' of Bophuthatswana under Mangope. The injustices of the Mangope era endured by the Bafok…
Christopher Bethell and the securing of the Bechuanaland frontier, 1878-1884
On 31 July 1884, Christopher Bethell, an English aristocrat, was brutally murdered in an encounter with mercenaries from the Transvaal republic whilst attempting to defend the territory of the Tshidi Barolong under chief Montshiwa. This article traces the brief career of Bethell on the cis‐Molopo frontier beyond formal British control. It follows his fortunes as hunter, trader, British official and emissary to Montshiwa during a complex and harro…
