Extractions: Famous people of Nelson Mandela Metro include, amongst others , Govan Mbeki, political activist and father of President Thabo Mbeki, Oliver Thambo, political activist and life-long friend of Nelson Mandela, Athol Fugard, actor , director and playwright, Olive Schreiner, well-known authoress and writer of "The story of an African Farm" and Cliff Drysdale, well-known tennis player. Nelson Mandela Bay, uniting Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Despatch bears the rich legacy of an area which saw the first meetings of Khoisan, British, Dutch, German and Xhosa people. As the landing place of the British Settlers, discovered by Vasco da Gama, inhabited by the Khoisan, it boasts some of the finest architectural attractions in South Africa. Many historical and speciality tours are on offer to familiarise you with this fascinating history. Two groups of indigenous people said to be amongst the first tribes to settle in Algoa Bay are the San hunters (Bushmen) who lived in the inland valleys and gorges and the Khoisan (Inqua Hottentots) who lived at the coast and along the Gamtoos River. (The Khoisan people no longer exist due to, inter alia, the diseases brought to the area by the Europeans as well as many tribal wars.)

http://www.country-studies.com/south-africa/religion.html

Extractions: Religion Almost all South Africans profess some religious affiliation, according to the official census in 1991. Attitudes toward religion and religious beliefs vary widely, however. The government has actively encouraged specific Christian beliefs during much of the twentieth century, but South Africa has never had an official state religion nor any significant government prohibition regarding religious beliefs. About 80 percent of all South Africans are Christians, and most are Protestants. More than 8 million South Africans are members of African Independent churches, which have at least 4,000 congregations. The denomination generally holds a combination of traditional African and Protestant beliefs. The other large Protestant denomination, the Dutch Reformed Church, has about 4 million members in several branches. Most are whites or people of mixed race. Other Protestant denominations in the mid-1990s include at least 1.8 million Methodists, 1.2 million Anglicans, 800,000 Lutherans, 460,000 Presbyterians, and smaller numbers of Baptists, Congregationalists, Seventh Day Adventists, and members of the Assembly of God and the Apostolic Faith Mission of Southern Africa. More than 2.4 million South Africans are Roman Catholics; about 27,000 are Greek or Russian Orthodox. More than 7,000 are Mormons. Adherents of other world religions include at least 350,000 Hindus, perhaps 400,000 Muslims, more than 100,000 Jews, and smaller numbers of Buddhists, Confucians, and Baha'is.

Extractions: South Africa History Home Africa Problems Africa History Melton Profile ... Melton History The San (Bushmen) are among the oldest indigenous peoples in Southern Africa They have been around there for 2000 years. In the eighth century Bantu speaking people from East Africa arrived in South Africa. In 1652 the Dutch East India trading company set up a provision base and began to settle. In 1814 the area was assigned to British rule. The rules and regulations that came with British rule caused a majority of Boers (Dutch settlers) to migrate east to found their own republics, this was named the Great Task. The 1860's brought the first Indian laborers to work on the sugar plantations. The Union of South Africa was formed in 1910. In 1948 a system of apartheid was introduced. This was in place until the African National Congress (ANC) won the election in 1994. The ANC are still in power initially with Nelson Mandela as president follwed by Thabo Mbeki who still holds presidency. Capital: Pretoria

Extractions: If you prefer to sample the playgrounds of the coasts, you'll find ocean-side resorts alive with every kind of attraction - from fine hotels to glamorous leisure centres, from fishing and sailing to superb surfing and board-sailing. Consider Durban with its wide, white beaches, its Golden Mile of non-stop entertainment and amusement, its enticing Indian markets and emporiums. Now contrast Cape Town - the scenic splendour of Table Mountain, the sophistication of its world-class shops and restaurants, and its rich history dating back to the 17th century. From heady nightlife to solitary beachcombing in secluded bays, South Africa's coastal resorts offer a welcome that ensures visitors keep returning. Echoes of the past A mere 20 minutes from Johannesburg's bustling modern metropolis, the Sterkfontein Caves provide an eerie sense of time standing still. Sterkfontein is a World Heritage Site where fossils have been found dating back to the era when mankind first walked upright. No visitor should miss the prolific rock art of the early San people, still preserved in caves where they first made their homes. South Africa's caves are a treasure-house of wonders: some with signs of human habitation dating back to the Stone Age; others with geological marvels such as stalactites and stalagmites.

Extractions: During the apartheid years in South Africa, traditional African cultures were mostly hidden from the public, except for museum displays and governmentally supervised presentations. Since the abolition of apartheid, the "cultural village" as a display of "authentic" tribal life has become increasingly popular. This essay examines the progressive commodification of culture now occurring in these representations and analyzes their popularity among foreign and South African tourists.

The more guys like Nic Kristof ejaculate vacuous columns like this about HIV infection in the Dark Continent , the more Westerners will fall asleep and just roll their eyes at the African AIDS crisis. Poverty, desperation, hopelessness, etc. etc., these are the fuels that fire the African AIDS crisis, right? Let me tell you a different story.... And voila , you get the social chaos and chronological mis-match (21st century technology + 2nd century northern European polities) that is Africa! Poverty? All the reports I see indicate that AIDS spreads with economic opportunity (truckers) and concentrates in the rising metropolises that drive the engines of capitalism. Desperation? The enterprising husbands who keep a coterie of girlfriends aren't desperate. Hopelessness? Africa is exporting preachers to the First World-it is a God-intoxicated continent, with some of the attendent religious violence associated starting to erupt. These people have plenty of religious hope, fat lot of good it does them in this world.

If you would like to see some other articles from Missionalia , have a look at the list of Missionalia articles on the Web Gunther Pakendorf "FOR THERE IS NO POWER BUT OF GOD" The Berlin Mission and the Challenges of Colonial South Africa German missions have an important place in southern African mission history. They were active in all regions of the sub-continent and featured prominently in some areas, most notably the Transvaal Republic. Their written output was considerable and they published much that was of scientific value. Yet by and large they were characterised by a low public profile and, in the 20th century, a near-total silence with regard to controversial political issues. This paper looks at the response of the Berlin Mission Society to the challenges of 19th and early 20th South Africa. It traces the intellectual roots of German missions to three fundamental influences, viz. Lutheran theology, Pietism and Romanticism. Yet, important as these sources were in shaping the German reaction to problems arising from the black community and white rulers, this response was also influenced by the 'elective affinities' between missionaries, their children, and the larger white community. THE PLACE OF GERMAN MISSIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA then one of the leading institutions of higher learning in Europe, and at the end of his life he was presented with a medal of honour by the German emperor (See Pakendorf 1993).

http://webs.wofford.edu/mandlovenb/SAfrica/content/xhosa.html

Extractions: In addition to speaking different dialects of the same language, the Xhosa and Zulu people (known as the Nguni) have a number of cultural characteristics in common. They lived in individual family homesteads consisting of beehive-style huts arranged in a semicircular or circular plan around the central cattle kraal. The Xhosa tend to dominate politics in South Africa and many cabinet members come from the Eastern Cape, which is, but one of the nine provinces in South Africa. Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki of the new democratic South Africa come from the Eastern Cape and are Xhosa speaking. Perhaps it should be seen as just reward for it was upon the Xhosa that the longest struggle and main burden of resistance to white penetration of the South African interior fell. With the meeting of the advancing Xhosa and with white settlers, and the establishment of the Fish River as the boundary between black and white, a century of war was unavoidable although peace inevitably followed. With the influence of the missionaries and subsequent ever-increasing contact with western society, much of the rich heritage of the Xhosa people is gradually disappearing. Traditionally the Xhosa men fulfilled the role of warrior, hunter and stockman looking after their cattle while the women looked after the land, the crops and homes.

http://www.safari.co.za/africa_xhosa.html

Extractions: Red and the orange of ochre were the traditional colours of the Xhosa , Tembu and Bomvana (the red ones). The first group of early Nguni immigrants to migrate to South Africa consisted of the Xhosa , (made up of the the Gcaleka, Ngqika, Ndlambe and Dushane clans), the Thembu and Pondo. However, a second group of Nguni-speakers joined these tribes later. These were the tribes that Shaka, the Zulu king, drove out of Zululand. Some returned to Zululand when peace was declared, but those who remained became known as the Mfengu and were assimilated into the Xhosa nation. The early immigrants formed the backbone of the Xhosa nation and have good reason to be proud. Not only were they to become the second largest group of Black Africans in South Africa but they were also the only ones that were never defeated or enslaved by any other tribe. They even repulsed the mighty Zulu chief, Shaka. Ex-President Nelson Mandela belongs to this ethnic group. The Xhosa live mainly in the
Talking About "Tribe"
For most people in Western countries, africa immediately calls up the word xhosa ANC followers. Yet this was not an ancient tribal conflict either,
http://www.africaaction.org/bp/ethall.htm

Extractions: Last updated November, 1997 For most people in Western countries, Africa immediately calls up the word "tribe." The idea of tribe is ingrained, powerful, and expected. Few readers question a news story describing an African individual as a tribesman or tribeswoman, or the depiction of an African's motives as tribal. Many Africans themselves use the word "tribe" when speaking or writing in English about community, ethnicity or identity in African states. Yet today most scholars who study African states and societiesboth African and non-Africanagree that the idea of tribe promotes misleading stereotypes. The term "tribe" has no consistent meaning. It carries misleading historical and cultural assumptions. It blocks accurate views of African realities. At best, any interpretation of African events that relies on the idea of tribe contributes no understanding of specific issues in specific countries. At worst, it perpetuates the idea that African identities and conflicts are in some way more "primitive" than those in other parts of the world. Such misunderstanding may lead to disastrously inappropriate policies. In this paper we argue that anyone concerned with truth and accuracy should avoid the term "tribe" in characterizing African ethnic groups or cultures. This is not a matter of political correctness. Nor is it an attempt to deny that cultural identities throughout Africa are powerful, significant and sometimes linked to deadly conflicts. It is simply to say that using the term "tribe" does not contribute to understanding these identities or the conflicts sometimes tied to them. There are, moreover, many less loaded and more helpful alternative words to use. Depending on context, people, ethnic group, nationality, community, village, chiefdom, or kin-group might be appropriate. Whatever the term one uses, it is essential to understand that identities in Africa are as diverse, ambiguous, complex, modern, and changing as anywhere else in the world.

They were part of the southward migration of the Nguni people, and by 1600 were settled in this area. The indigenous people they encountered on their migration and settlement were the Bushmen and Hottentot. These people known as the Khoisan, had some influence on their language and culture, in particular the "clicking" sound made famous in "The Click Song" by Miriam Makeba.
