Home News Publications Health Statistics ... Job Adverts ISDS Site: Frances Baard District The Frances Baard District is one of five health districts in the Northern Cape. The 2001 population census indicates that the population of the district is 324 799 people(including the North West cross-boundary area). The district covers 12 347 square km and has a population density of 26 people per square km, which is above the provincial average of 2.7 people per square km, making it the most densely populated district in the province. Frances Baard district comprises of four category B municipalities (Sol Plaatje, Dikgatlong, Magareng and Phokwane) and one district municipality. Some 62% of the inhabitants live in the Sol Plaatje Municipality area. The socio-economic profile of the district indicates a 41% unemployment rate leaving 65.% of households with no income. Primary health care services are provided by three district hospitals, one TB hospital, one community health clinic, 19 fixed clinics, four mobile clinics and six satellite clinics. The Sol Plaatje Municipality manages nine of the clinics, whilst the rest of the facilities are managed by the provincial Department of Health. A major problem affecting the accessibility to health services and the quality of care in the clinics, is the shortage of professional nurses. The main health problems are TB, HIV/AIDS, STI's and maternal and child health.

Drum , most jazz musicians and their audiences came from similar urban backgrounds, and a different scene began to flourish in Cape Town. Although earlier African-American music was influenced by visiting American musicians, no such jazz artists toured South Africa until the mid-1950s. Instead, inspiration was transmitted mostly through film and recorded music. Cape Town however had the added advantage of being a port, and much of the vibrant scene there is attributed to the incoming influence of American sailors. Books Literature South Africa has produced a number of internationally recognized and award-winning novelists. Probably the best known is Nadine Gordimer. Her novels include A Guest of Honour The Conservationist (winner of the 1974 Booker Prize)

Native Life in South Africa by Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Terms Contents Foreword Introduction ... Part II Foreword y Sol. T. Plaatje Editor of `Tsala ea Batho', Kimberley, S.A. Author of `Sechuana Proverbs and their European Equivalents' South African (ethnic Tswana) Editor, Author, Statesman. 1876?-1932. First Secretary-General of the South African Native National Congress (forerunner of the ANC), 1912-1917. Author of "Mhudi", generally considered the first novel written by a black South African. The two portraits are not available for this ASCII text. They are titled "The Author." and "Mrs. S. T. Plaatje. Without whose loyal co-operation this book would never have been written." Sol Plaatje began work on `Native Life in South Africa' in 1914, while on his way to Britain to plead with the Imperial Government against the Natives' Land Act of 1913, as part of a deputation of the South African Native National Congress. The book was intended as a means of reaching the British public with the deputation's message. The method seemed sound enough it was quite similar in form to the successful deputation which had pleaded to keep Bechuanaland (modern Botswana) under direct Imperial control in 1895. But circumstances were different in 1914 South Africa had been granted self-government, and the First World War began shortly after the deputation's arrival in England and distracted all parties. This latter event also influenced the final form of the book, as Plaatje played to the patriotic sentiment so strong in Britain at the time. For all his appeals, Plaatje did not succeed: the Act went on to become one of the first steps toward the system of Apartheid. For all that, there is sometimes in defeat the seeds of victory these troubles united black South Africans like nothing before, and Plaatje's successors, in the form of the ANC, finally succeeded in the early 1990's.

Native Life in South Africa by Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Terms Contents Foreword Introduction ... Part II Preface A) Who is the Author? After wondering for some time how best to answer this question, we decided to reply to it by using one of several personal references in our possession. The next puzzle was: "Which one?" We carefully examined each, but could not strike a happy decision until some one who entered the room happened to make use of the familiar phrase: "The long and the short of it". That phrase solved the difficulty for us, and we at once made up our mind to use two of these references, namely, the shortest and the longest. The first one is from His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, and the second takes the form of a leading article in the `Pretoria News'. Central South African Railways, High Commissioner's Train. On February 1, 1906, Mr. Sol Plaatje acted as Interpreter when I visited the Barolong Native Stadt at Mafeking, and performed his duty to my entire satisfaction. (Signed) Arthur.

Representing Colonial South Africa by Simon Lewis College of Charleston, Charleston SC Review of: Laura Chrisman. Rereading the Imperial Romance: British Imperialism and South African Resistance in Haggard, Schreiner, and Plaatje. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2000. 241pp. Illustrated, bibliography, and index. $70.00 (cloth), I SBN 0-198-12299-3. Chrisman makes these broad theoretical arguments, however, less by deduction and reference to other theorists, than by induction through close textual studies of Haggard, Schreiner, and Plaatje and their geo-political, economic and historical circumstances. Indeed, it is refreshing to read someone with such impeccable theoretical credentials as Chrisman really putting theory to work and going beyond the kind of "exorbitant" meta-theorizing that Perry Anderson criticized nearly twenty years ago in his In the Tracks of Historical Materialism . Chrisman's 200-odd pages of text are insistently materialist and focused, maintaining a lucid argumentative drive concerning the three authors under discussion, while using copious footnotes almost literally as theoretical underpinning. The result is a book which works superbly as a case-study of colonial representations of South Africa either side of 1900, while also furnishing a thorough bibliography of and dialogue with theoretical accounts of late nineteenth-century imperialism and related topics. While each of the authors in Chrisman's case study has received increasing critical attention recently (although Plaatje is still less familiar than he might be), their differences of origin, race, gender, and attitudes have tended to keep them apart. Certainly no single monograph has yet read all three together and so clearly established the dialectical tensions among them, using them less to make points about idealized concepts of race, gender, Africa, imperialism than about their historically specific mediations of South African political reality. For example, rather than focus on

MRC NEWS JUNE 2002 VOL. 33, NO. 3 Consumer viewpoint - Science with impact Success is science making a difference to the day-to-day lives of communities. Ms Annetjie Joseph, Research and Information Officer of the Sol Plaatje Local Authority in the Northern Cape, tells how the MRC strengthened their efforts of improving the health of children in the community. "I feel that it is extremely important that Local Authorities, no matter where they are, should be involved in the MRC's activities. We have learnt such a tremendous amount from the scientists - just by talking to them and working closely with them. These links lead to the process of education and empowerment of people. And ultimately to better health for our community." This is the opinion of Ms Joseph, who had been involved in a long-standing collaboration with scientists from the MRC's Nutritional Intervention Research Unit. The partnership started in 1997, when Dr John Fincham and colleagues did a survey on helminth infestation in the community. "After the survey, we treated the children and there were many health promotion and education interventions to keep the problem at bay. But one of their observations was that there were many wasted and stunted children. We felt that this needed attention, so it led to another project," Ms Joseph explains. Nutritional survey This project took the form of a nutritional survey, covering not only aspects of nutrition, but also issues such as water and sanitation. Children were weighed, measured, blood samples taken and questionnaires filled in.

COMMONWEALTH 22-1: Beginnings Back to Commonwealth 22-1 Back to Commonwealth Main Page Guillaume Cingal Memory of Snow and of Dust Memory of Snow and of Dust Sheila Collingwood-Whittick In the Heart of the Country An examination of the consummately metafictional discourse of In the Heart of the Countr y, analysing the multiple ways in which J.M. Coetzee denaturalizes conventional fictional procedure through the use of a subversive narrator who sabotages the traditional reader-author contract both by forcing the reader to take cognizance of her own fictional status and by constantly foregrounding the literary techniques and devices, the artifice, to which her creator, like all writers of fiction, has recourse. Marta Dvorak Richard Samin Mhudi Mhudi Benaouda Lebdai In Zenzel e, the Zimbabwean J. Nozipo Maraire uses the epistolary genre to recreate the long history of her family and country. Through a long letter written by a mother to her daughter, Nozipo Maraire succeeds in creating powerful stories with characters rooted in their African soil. The place and the way these characters are brought to life in the diegesis are looked into within their historical and ideological context. Through a critical analysis of narration and characterization, this study emphasizes the difficult and sensitive question of colonialism which still haunts the post-colonial generation. It also addresses the way this novel reveals the neo-colonial relations between Zimbabwe and England and by extension the relations between Africa and the West.

SA Weather Service Mapping the best sites in SA cyberspace - goSouthAfrica Find your way on our interactive macro-to-micro South Africa map Emergence of black writing It was not until the 20th century that literature by black South Africans emerged. The first generation of mission-educated African writers sought to restore dignity to Africans by invoking and reconstructing a heroic African past. The first novel by a black South African was Mhudi (completed in 1920 but only published in 1930), by Solomon (Sol) Thekiso Plaatje. This epic story follows the trajectory of the Tswana people during and after their military encounter with the Zulus under Shaka, the Zulu conqueror of the 19th century, and encompasses their earliest encounters with the white people moving into the interior. Viewed as the founding father of black literature in South Africa, Plaatje was also the first secretary general of the then South African Native National Congress (now the African National Congress) at its foundation in 1912. His Native Life in South Africa (1916) was a seminal text in the study of land dispossession in South Africa. He also wrote a diary of the siege of Mafeking during the Boer War, and translated Shakespeare into seTswana language.

CDE Newsletter, Summer 1995 Contents The "PRU" at Sussex Arjan de Haan South African Studies Network Collaboration with Europe ... My year at Sussex, by Paks Phakamani Hadebe The "PRU" at Sussex Probably, more progress has been made in understanding and reducing world poverty in the last fifty years than in the preceding five thousand. Past and current work at the University of Sussex (including the Institute of Development Studies and the Science Policy Research Unit) has contributed to this progress. However, there remain huge islands of poverty - and islands of ignorance about its correlates, causes, consequences, and cures. A Poverty Research Unit ("PRU"), under the direction of Professor Michael Lipton, has now been established within the CDE. This initiative, which has been strengthened with the recent appointment of a Dutch scholar, Arjan de Haan, to a University Research Fellowship, will focus, co-ordinate, and substantially enlarge Sussex's contribution to research into these issues. The Unit is planned to have some seven or eight fellows by the late Nineties. Arjan de Haan Arjan de Haan, who has joined the CDE as a Research Fellow in the Poverty Research Unit, did most of his studies in the Netherlands. His MA was in Sociology, with fieldwork in Nicaragua and Peru, both dealing with labour and the poor in metropolitan cities. For his PhD thesis he shifted his geographical area, and studied migrant labourers in Calcutta. The main theme of the thesis (which has been published by Verloren in Hilversum) is the process of circular migration - rural migrants who spend most of their working life in Calcutta but continue to maintain strong links with their villages of birth.

100. The Boer War Pakenham, Thomas. The Boer War. New York Random House, 1979. Plaatje, Sol. T.Mafeking Diary A Black Man’s View of a White Man’s War. http://www.modjourn.brown.edu/mjp/Essays/Boer.html

The Boer War by Carol DeBoer-Langworthy The New Age , it also was called the "last gentleman’s war" and "a white man’s war." By whatever name, this was England’s last great colonial conflict and an important precursor for its participation in World War I. Britons still argue about what went wrong in its execution, even though they were ultimately victorious. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who experienced the war as a volunteer doctor, wrote that its events ["...] stirred the minds of our people more than anything since the Indian Mutiny, and humiliated our arms as they have not been humiliated in this [nineteenth] century (Conan Doyle 21)["]. The fact that some 450,000 British and Empire troops were needed to defeat a population of half that size (of whom only a fraction, 50,000, were in arms as part-time soldiers) put England on notice about its state of military preparedness. For the defeated South Africans the war has remained a rallying point for nationalistic sentiment. Dutch people had been in South Africa since 1652, when they first settled at Cape of Good Hope to supply ships to and from the Dutch colonies in the East Indies. By 1814, when the Cape Colony was added to the British Empire as the result of the Napoleonic wars, some 30,000 Dutch, French and German colonists were in South Africa. In 1820 5,000 British emigrants landed there, settling on the eastern border of Cape Colony.
