21. Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje This is all in the Boer War Diary of Sol T. Plaatje an African in Mafeking Sol Plaatje was a representative of the emergent African intelligentsia. http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/people/plaatje/

Pages from History: Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje First ANC Secretary-General Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje was born on October 9, 1876 on a farm called Dornfontein in the north-western part of the Orange Free State, some thirty miles north east of Kimberley. He came from a family with a tradition of contact with Christianity that goes back to the 1820's. Later he went to Pniel near Barkly West in the Cape where he attended school. At the age of 9 and 10 he attended a Church of England mission school in Beaconsfield, some 18 miles from Prilel. This was in the late 1880's. Then back at Pniel he was progressing far beyond the other pupils; so be began to receive additional private instruction from the missionary, Ernest Westphal and his wife. At 13 he passed the Cape Education Department's standard 4 examinations: almost certainly the first pupil at Pniel to have achieved this. In February 1892 he was appointed a pupil/teacher, a post he held for two years . In March 1894 Plaatje left the mission station to take up a job in the Post Office in Kimberley as a letter earner a highly sought-after job because it was one of the relatively few avenues of opportunity open to Africans for employment. At 17 he seemed to have been well prepared for a life outside the limited confines of the Pniel mission. On March 1, 1894 Plaatje began work as a letter carrier in the Kimberley Post Office. The Kimberley Post Office had been the first in the Cape to employ Africans as messengers and letter carriers. This was in 1880 when the Post Office found it impossible to secure reliable and inexpensive white labour. This provoked the anger of the whites who felt threatened by this act. Plaatje remained in his job for four and a half years. This afforded him the opportunity to improve his command of the English language.

Home Molewa pays tribute to Sol Plaatje 14 May 2005 Premier Molewa today officially opened Sol Plaatje Secondary School in Mafikeng. A plaque in tribute and memory of the courage and legacy of the legend and political leader Sol Plaatje was also unveiled. Molewa said naming the school after Sol Plaatje was a very bold and courageous move. "It is also a challenge of monumental proportions. It places a burden of responsibility on the shoulders of educators, learners and parents to match the dedication, selflessness and excellence personified by this great legend and leader of our people". “Consistent with the principles and vision espoused by Plaatje, the school must strive to produce leaders who put the rights and plight of the poor and downtrodden ahead of their own,” Molewa said. We must instil in our children the desire to embrace in the most vocal and practical way, the ethos of community service and personal sacrifices. This is important because Sol Plaatje was an embodiment of personal sacrifice, community service and vukuz'enzele. "He left behind a legacy, which inspires all of us to help in the reconstruction and development of our country. Indeed, Sol Plaatje is a monument of dedication and selflessness".

Home Strive to be like Sol Plaatje, Molewa tells teachers and students 15 May 2005 North West Premier, Edna Molewa, told students and teachers of Sol Plaatje Secondary School that naming their school after Sol Plaatje has placed a burden of responsibility on their shoulders to match the dedication, selflessness and excellence personified by Plaatje. Speaking during the official opening of Sol Plaatje Secondary School in Mafikeng today, Molewa said: “We cannot help, but measure the performance and conduct of this school, its educators and learners against the legacy left behind by Plaatje. I am confident that the Sol Plaatje Secondary School community will continue to ensure that its performance and reputation in the community will be consistent with the stature and legacy of Sol Plaatje”. Consistent with the principles and vision espoused by Plaatje, said Molewa, the school should strive to produce leaders who put the rights and plight of the poor and downtrodden ahead of their own. The school must produce patriots who clearly understand their role and location in the reconstruction and development of our nation. “We must produce leaders who do not ask: What will my government do for me? Instead we must build a cadre of leaders who pose the question to themselves: ‘What can I do to help create a better community and a South Africa that truly belongs to all?’ Anything less will be a negation and betrayal of the memory and legacy of Sol Plaatje, and the naming of this school after this formidable intellectual, visionary leader and patriot shall have been in vain”.

He was one of the founders of the African National Congress and became its first General Secretary. His political book "Native Life in South Africa" is a classic while his historical novel "Mhudi" was the first novel in English to have been written by a black South African. Plaatje founded and edited two Tswana-language newspapers. Staff: Director: Francis Mdlongwa The Director of the Institute is Francis Mdlongwa.

Those who have inspired us. Those who have defined us. Those who have shown us our common humanity. Sol Plaatje Literary Pioneer Sol Plaatje was born near Boshof in 1876 and educated at Pniel on the banks of the Vaal River. He was one of the foremost black leaders of his generation in South Africa. As the first general secretary of the African National Congress (ANC), founded in 1912, Plaatje was a prominent political spokesperson, interacting regularly with government officials and other leading whites in both South Africa and Great Britain. Plaatje was much more than a political figure, however. Prior to the formation of the ANC, he was a court interpreter at Mafeking, where he became caught up in the famous siege during the Anglo-Boer War. His diary of this period was later published as The Siege of Mafeking (1984). After the war he became editor of two successive newspapers, Koranta ea Becoana (Bechuana Gazette) and Tsala ea Becoana (The Friend of the Bechuana), both published in Setswana and English. As one of the band of pioneering African newspaper editors, he viewed his role as that of a "mouthpiece" for his people. It was this role that brought him to prominence and led to his selection as ANC general secretary. Plaatje was a significant writer. His political tract, Native Life in South Africa, was an angry denunciation of the 1913 Natives' Land Act. The first sentence is perhaps one of the hardest hitting political statements in South African history: "Awaking on Friday morning, June 20, 1913, the South African Native found himself, not actually a slave, but a pariah in the land of his birth."

Fortunately, he was never too busy to stop writing. Variously employed, during the first three decades of this century, as a clerk and court interpreter in Mafeking, the editor of two Tswana newspapers, a contributing journalist to a variety of other South African journals, the General Secretary and traveling spokesperson of the South African Native National Congress (later the African National Congress), and even operator of a bioscope, Plaatje nevertheless found time not only to write his now famous diary of the siege of Mafeking, a pioneering sociological account of South African life ( Native Life in South Africa ), scores of editorials, and
