Histories of South African medical institutions are burgeoning but there can be few more remarkable stories than that of McCords Hospital in Durban. It is neither the largest nor the most famous ho
The South African War as humanitarian crisis
Although the South African War was a colonial war, it aroused great interest abroad as a test of international morality. Both the Boer republics were signatories to the Geneva Convention of 1864, as was Britain, but the resources of these small countries were limited, for their populations were small and, before the discovery of gold in 1884, government revenues were trifling. It was some time before they could put even the most rudimentary organ…

The Concentration Camps of the Anglo-Boer War
The Concentration Camps of the South African (Anglo‐Boer) War, 1900–1902
The concentration camps of the South African War or Anglo‐Boer War, where Boer women and children, as well as many black families, were interned as a result of the British military sweeps to clear the veld, incited controversy from their inception. The high mortality, primarily from measles, caused much bitterness but the history of the camps has never been properly investigated. Instead, a mythology was created by emergent Afrikaner nationalists…
Costly Mythologies
By the 1930s, a mythology of the concentration camps of the South African War had been firmly lodged in the historical consciousness of Afrikaners, establishing a paradigm of suffering that has altered remarkably little since. A major reason for the lack of a serious historiography was the failure of Afrikaners to write any critical account of the war before the 1950s. Instead, history was replaced by a ‘haze’ of poetry, memorials and ceremonies,…
The Cape Doctor in the Nineteenth Century
Mineral Wealth and Medical Opportunity
With the increase in population and in colonial revenues after the discovery of diamonds and gold in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, public and private hospitals proliferated, particularly in larger centres such as Cape Town. The numbers of practitioners engaged in public health also increased. Perhaps as important, doctors were now accepted as skilled professionals and remunerated accordingly. At the same time there was also a greate…
‘Regularly Licensed and Properly Educated Practitioners’
This chapter explores the later professionalisation of medicine at the Cape, particularly after the discovery of diamonds and gold, when the number of doctors increased. As the demand for an improved public health system grew, and the Colonial Medical Committee was unable to cope with the more complex demands of the colony, legislation was gradually set in place to transform the practice of medicine. This legislation included a Public Health Act,…
Medical Practice in the Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape developed slightly different medical traditions from the Western Cape. The majority Xhosa population had healing practices of their own which they shared only partly with the Khoi, while Boer medical practice had become more remote from modern Western medicine. Missionary medicine was relatively undeveloped in this period but through the Grey Hospital the Governor, Sir George Grey, promoted Western medicine amongst Africans. In t…
Opportunities Outside Private Practice before 1860
This chapter discusses the restrictions and opportunities which salaried employment offered Cape doctors in the pay of government and charitable organisations during the first two thirds of the nineteenth century. Although Cape doctors often acted as agents of the colonial state there were many nuances within this relationship. While military doctors played an important role in the profession during the first few decades of the century, by the 18…
