The colonist politicians from the two British colonies of the Cape and Natal and the Boer or Afrikaner republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State that constituted the Union, had for long demanded for the annexation of Lesotho to one of the colonies.

Extractions: It is the church of the indigenous African people,with customs,traditions,rituals,and similar rites that are not different to those that are in the Holy Bible,futhermore;it is also composed of the faithful and the believers indeed that constitute the big membership and followers,particularly of African descent. This church has a wonderful history, that is very rich, and easy to follow, because;for the history tobe preserved, it should be documented, for easy access to it, and also guard against absolute extiction. It is noted for example;in books such as "The Voice of Black Theology in S.A.,where the history of Christianity and its origins are put narratively, and also points out that; Jesus Christ had set his foot on the African soil during the escape of Joseph and Mary to Egypt,from the furious rage of King Herod's pedocidal excuse in seach of the Immanuel(Jesus)

Extractions: Edward Evans-Pritchard (1902-1973, Britain Edward Evans-Pritchard is known for his approach in analyzing non-western belief systems, especially those in Africa . He believed that anthropologists should analyze societies by considering the local peoples views and should not entirely rely on presupposed ideas about that society. In other words, an anthropologist needs to understand peoples behaviors and thoughts in their own context, which is based on their local reality. Evans-Pritchard studied seemingly alien norms in Africa and demonstrated that they make perfect sense from the local persons point of view. His goal was to present ethnographies of indigenous beliefs in an accurate and coherent manner to those who do not belong to these indigenous societies. One of the famous ethnographies by Evans-Pritchard is Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic among the Azande , an analysis on witchcraft within the Azande society of East Africa . The Azande often credit witchcraft when they meet misfortunes. For example, when a building suddenly collapses and people who happen to be under its roof are injured, they say this happening is due to witchcraft. Evans-Pritchard argued that this witchcraft explanation supplies a missing link. The Azande know these two facts: that the supports for the roof were undermined and that people were sitting under the roof in order to escape the glare of the sun. However, the Azande need an explanation that also connects these two events, and that explanation is witchcraft. Evans-Pritchards analysis shows that the Azandes witchcraft explanation is rational according to their way of reasoning. Besides anthropological values, this ethnography

As Asmal makes plain, the name of the new building would be an important symbol of hope in the future: Some thoughtless people may murmur that it is inappropriate for the Department of Education to name its building after someone who had completed only Standard 4. Well, I have news for them. Sol Plaatje was the most accomplished scholar of his generation, a giant of South African letters and public life. With his work also appearing in papers such as The Pretoria News and the Cape Argus Plaatje, amongst both black and white readers, was one of the most widely-read black journalist of his day. His novel Mhudi was the first novel written in English by a black South African. As part of his work for the Congress, Plaatje had travelled South Africa in the winter of 1913, recording first-hand the dire consequences of the Act on the lives of black South Africans. When the delegation returned home Plaatje stayed on in England for two and half years, in order to see his account of these experiences into print, and so to bring the plight of his people to the attention of the British public.

Many people assume that the fact that Africa today is overwhelmingly Christian is down to the success of those missionaries.

Extractions: This Workshop was approved by the Program Committee on Global Security and Cooperation of the Social Science Research Council-SSRC-GSC at its Belfast meeting at the beginning of September 2001. It is part of the process of "Field Building" activities that seek to bring together the different kinds of knowledge obtained by different researchers such as academics, practitioners, and custodians of indigenous knowledge with a view to developing the mechanisms for integrating, synthesizing, and transferring skills and expertise available in each of these different knowledges to a wider audience and to all actors. The Workshop was held on time as envisaged. In Belfast it was agreed that the Workshop would be held at the beginning of November 2001. In fact dates were fixed from 6th-8th November, to enable the members of the Committee on GSC to examine the possibility of attending the Workshop since they had been indicated in the project as part of the participants. Eventually the date was changed to 5th-7th November by the steering committee to enable participants to arrive at the week-end and begin the Workshop at the beginning of the week, which also happened to be a good timing for airline schedules. In the event, all members of the committee of GSC did not attend. Special effort had been made by both Charles Hale and Ibrahim Dibrin to attend but they found themselves to do so due to different reasons. This gave us an opportunity to widen the African component as well as the regional spread to enable comparing of experiences in different African regions.

Extractions: Now, as the face of South Africa changes yet again, we are witnessing the miracle of rebirth not only on the macro-level of a country in transformation, but also in many places which have been on the periphery in the past. Moffat Mission, with its ecumenical commitment, promises to be one such place, especially in rethinking what Christian mission means today, and in engaging in a praxis appropriate at this time in this the least of all the new nine provinces of a new South Africa. The recent inauguration of the Kalahari Desert School of Theology, however modest, and the attempt to develop a theological education appropriate for rural ministry centred here, suggests how appropriate it is that we should be gathered here to reflect on the viability of ecumenical ministerial formation in Africa today. Although ministry in urban settlements is an urgent priority, we dare not neglect the needs of rural society, indeed, the two need to be considered in tandem. Thus we gather here in this rural setting from various parts of the continent which have received the gospel from the missionaries, many of whom passed through this place en route to their particular destinations. We come to consider our respective experiences of Christian faith in relation to the ambiguous legacy which they have left in order to contribute to the global task of ecumenical theological formation in a new era. What can we share with the ecumenical church from our particular locations in Africa and out of our own African experience, and what can we, in return, learn from others who participate in this process of reflection on the viability of theological education today?

It was visited by James Backhouse in February 1840 (p 561), who recorded the following: "After riding about twenty-five miles from the Amse River, we arrived, long after dark, at Afrikaners Kraal, or Jerusalem, as it was often called in the days when it was a station of the London Missionary Society. At this place, which is represented in the annexed etching, there were a considerable number of mat huts scattered under the shade of large Rozyntje Booms, which are trees such as are seldom seen in this part of South Africa, except on the banks of the Orange River". ALBANY , Cape: WMS 1821. This does not appear to have been the first Mission Station of this name to have been established in the district of Albany. The exact location of the Station referred to by John Campbell in 1813 is not known, but it could well have been the same as that established subsequently by the Wesleyan Methodists.

Extractions: The maximizing strategy for livestock herding of the East African pastoral nomads has been accused as irrational and thereby destroying the ecological balance of rangeland. Carrying capacity and pastoral productivity promoted in state policies, however, are arbitrary concepts. This paper finds the maximizing strategy of indigenous herders more adaptive to the precarious and drought-ridden tropical arid zone, using the Rendille herding as the main example. The Rendille further buffer themselves from market economy through manipulation of the local dual economy and the symbiotic personal relationship with the local livestock dealers. Key Words: East African pastoralism; Maximizing strategy; Rational herding; Local dual economy; Social transactions and transfers of livestock. PDF file of body text (59 KB) pp. 137-155

I will not dwell on it. In summary, I would just like to say that we reject the accusations that he levels against the churches.

And we ought to be saying: "Where is Ubuntu?" It’s got nothing to do with money or anything like this. These are often old enough to be your parents. Why do you continue to behave in this way towards them? And I think it doesn’t have to wait for this commission to make a recommendation, it doesn’t have to wait for the government. I think that we, you people with your stature and so on can already be making that difference, but thank you very much.
