Volkekunde” in the academic and rugby world of South Africa’s Dr Danie Craven
This article is a foray into the field of anthropology (“volkekunde” in \nAfrikaans) and sport history. It examines aspects of the sport-related thinking \nof a noted luminary in South Africa’s rugby world, Dr Danie Craven of \nStellenbosch. He was not only an outstanding rugby player but also for \nmany years an influential chairperson of the South African Rugby Board. \nThe possibility is probed that his outlook was at least in part informed by…

Fractured Fandom and Paradoxical Passions
The aim of this article is to analyse and historicize what may at first glance appear as a sporting anomaly: the support that the New Zealand All Blacks enjoy in South Africa. Focus falls on issues of historical memory and transmissions, symbolism, performativity, identity, and branding. Interviews, archival sources, and ethnographic observations underpin this study, which demonstrates that the dynamics of fandom are not linear. Whilst studies of…
Rebuffing Royals? Afrikaners and the Royal Visit to South Africa in 1947
This article traces the responses of Afrikaners to the symbolism and political purposes of the 1947 royal visit to Southern Africa, the first post-war royal tour and the first visit of a reigning sovereign to the Union of South Africa. Taking place in the aftermath of a war that had caused bitter political divisions within Afrikaner ranks and stimulated radical populist nationalism, a royal tour intended to express the crown's gratitude for South…
The riddle of Rosalind Ballingall
This article examines the short-lived hippie phenomenon in Cape Town during the late 1960s through the lens of the disappearance of a young woman from the University of Cape Town in the Knysna forests in 1969. It seeks to explain the dynamics of a particular kind of emerging culture and the way it was infused by public mystifications and conceptions of hippies. In doing so it has two aims in mind, namely to account for an apparent historical puzz…
Poor South Africa! Will No Nice English People Ever Come Out Here?’ The South African Constabulary of the Anglo-Boer War
Using newly digitised and transcribed attestation records, we provide a detailed description of the composition of the South African Constabulary, a volunteer force of mostly English recruits during and after the Second South African War. These records contain personal particulars such as age, country of origin, occupation and religion for 10,399 service terms. We also match these attestation records to the discharge records for each recruit, pro…

The Cambridge History of South Africa
This book surveys South African history from the discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand in the late nineteenth century to the first democratic elections in 1994. Written by many of the leading historians of the country, it pulls together four decades of scholarship to present a detailed overview of South Africa during the twentieth century. It covers political, economic, social and intellectual developments and their interconnections in a clear a…
Mutating Memories and the Making of a Myth
The SS Mendi, carrying the last detachment of the South African Native Labour Contingent to work as non-combatants in France during the First World War, sank just off the Isle of Wight on 21 February 1917. The death toll was high: of the 882 men on board, 615 died and 267 were saved. The grim details are easily verifiable; the subsequent afterlife of the incident is more complex. This article addresses the way in which the Mendi disaster has been…
From J.J. ‘Boerjong’ Kotze to Hansie Cronje
This essay briefly traces the trajectory of late-nineteenth-century Afrikaner involvement in cricket. It then examines in greater depth the circumstances which during the first half of the twentieth century militated against the game developing a mass appeal among Afrikaners. The situation changed gradually with Afrikaner ascent to political power in 1948, and especially markedly different socio-economic prosperity during the 1960s, which contrib…

"Are We Afrikaners Getting too Rich?"1 Cornucopia and Change in Afrikanerdom in the 1960s
This article attempts to correlate the unprecedented economic growth of the 1960s in South Africa with shifts in patterns of consumption, attendant lifestyle changes and forms of status identification among Afrikaners. Moreover the subsequent divergences in Afrikaner nationalist politics and the demise of apartheid are explored in terms of the rise of the Afrikaner middle-class as one, hitherto largely unexamined, factor in the political transiti…
Die historiese in die hede
In 2006 - 2007 an Afrikaans song about an intrepid Boer general, JH de la Rey, during the Anglo-Boer War sold an unprecedented 200,000 compact discs and attracted extraordinary media attention.This article attempts to explain why the song became so popular, what it meant for different Afrikaner groupings and why it was deemed to be controversial. The dynamics of the phenomenon are unpacked in terms of the rise of nostalgia in Afrikaner circles – …

Reframing Remembrance
In scale and intensity, the war of 1899–1902 was the closest that South Africans came to total war during the twentieth century. The war left a legacy of bitter memories and mutual recriminations. It assumed a central place in Afrikaner historical consciousness, feeding into subsequent Afrikaner nationalism for the first half of the century. With developments in South Africa during the 1990s, which saw a white government making way for a predomin…
"Rocking the Boat" in South Africa? Voelvry Music and Afrikaans Anti-Apartheid Social Protest in the 1980s
The British social and cultural historian, Arthur Marwick, concluded his magisterial book on the cultural revolution of the 1960s in the West with a very brief final sentence on the transformation: has been nothing quite like it; nothing will be quite the same again.1 This deceptively simple and deliberately vague assertion masks an array of nuanced historical judgments in which Marwick teased out the complexities and contradictions of the sixtie…

L'instrumentalisation politique de la commémoration du centenaire de la guerre sud-africaine de 1899-1902
Par son envergure et son intensité, la guerre de 1899-1902 est pour l'Afrique du Sud le conflit qui se rapproche le plus de la guerre totale du xx e siècle. Ce conflit joue un rôle central dans la conscience historique afrikaner et nourrit le développement d'un nationalisme afrikaner pendant la première moitié de ce siècle. Avec les récents changements en Afrique du Sud, la signification culturelle et la référence à la guerre suscitèrent encore p…
Writing a Wider War
Writing a Wider War presents a dramatically new interpretation of the role of Boer women in the conflict and profoundly changes how we look at the making of Afrikaner nationalism. African experiences of the war are also examined, highlighting racial subjugation in the context of colonial war and black participation, and showcasing important new research by African historians. The collection includes a reassessment of British imperialism and probi…

Playing for power? rugby, Afrikaner nationalism and masculinity in South Africa, c.1900–70
Two outstanding personalities who virtually became rugby legends in their own lifetime, A. F. Markotter and later Danie Craven, did much to turn Stellenbosch into the Mecca of twentieth-century South African rugby. For Craven it was the 'task of Stellenbosch to train and provide players for the club, Western Province, and South Africa. But it also had to do more. It had to train players for other clubs and provinces.'6 Stellenbosch Rugby Club reg…

The King's Afrikaners? Enlistment and Ethnic Identity in the Union of South Africa's Defence Force During the Second World War, 1939–45
In contrast to the situation in Commonwealth countries such as Canada and Australia, South Africa's participation in the Second World War has not been accorded a particularly significant place in the country's historiography. In part at least, this is the result of historiographical traditions which, although divergent in many ways, have a common denominator in that their various compelling imperatives have despatched the Second World War to the …

The Impact of the First World War on South African Blacks
As far as South Africa is concerned, certain advances have recently occurred in the study of the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902 providing systematic investigation of some of the wider effects of the war on the various societies involved.1 The same cannot be said of South Africa's involvement in the First World War. For a background to the war period one is dependent on general, though stimulating, overviews by S. E. Katzenellenbogen2 and N. G. Garso…
