Adam Kok was a cook, freed slave and founding leader of the newly formed Griqua people.
Adam Kok I: Griqua chief
Born in 1710, Adam Kok became leader of a new people, the Griquas who were born of inter-racial marriages in South Africa's Cape between the Dutch, Khoikhoi, British, San, Xhosa, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mozambique over hundreds of years of trade, slavery and colonialism.
The mixed race people, known as Basters, later Griquas, increasingly squeezed out from their land, moved to the frontiers. In the 1750s they were led by Adam Kok, a freed slave, who started work as a cook (hence "Kok") and managed to obtain burgher rights and a farm near the present Piketberg.
Adam Kok married Donna, the daughter of the chief of a Khoikhoi clan, the Chariguriqua, attracted a mixed following of Basters, Khoikhoi and escaped slaves as he moved to Little Namaqualand.
He established a system of government with leaders, kaptyns and magistrates drawn from the leading families.
To escape British rule, the Boers trekked inland, but this caused further tension as the new republics encroached on Griqua land.
Adam Kok died in 1795 at Pella, but his name lives on in Kokstad. His son Cornelius, and grandson Adam Kok II continued the survival of the Griqua people.

Andre coloured people part 1
In KwaZulu-Natal, most Coloureds come from British and Zulu heritage,[citation needed] while Zimbabwean Coloureds come from Shona or Ndebele mixing with British and Afrikaner settlers. Griqua, on the other hand, are descendants of Khoisan and Afrikaner trekboers. Despite these major differences, the fact that they draw parentage from more than one naturalised racial group means that they are coloured in the southern African context. Such people did not necessarily self-identify this way; some preferred to call themselves black or Khoisan or just South African. The history of racial segregation and labelling in South Africa and neighbouring countries has meant that the governments placed all such mixed race people in a certain relationship together. The imperial and apartheid governments categorized them as Coloureds. In addition, other ethnic groups also traditionally viewed them as a separate group.
During the apartheid era, in order to keep divisions and maintain a race-focused society, the government used the term Coloured to describe one of the four main racial groups identified by law: Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians. (All four terms were capitalised in apartheid-era law.)
Many Griqua began to self-identify as Coloureds during the apartheid era. There were certain advantages in becoming classified as Coloured. For example, Coloureds did not have to carry a dompas (an identity document designed to limit the movements of the non-white populace), while the Griqua, who were seen as another indigenous African group, did.
Coloured people constitute a majority of the population in Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces. Most speak Afrikaans, while about ten percent of Coloureds speak English as their mother tongue, mostly in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. However, virtually all Cape Town Coloureds are bilingual.[7][8] Some can comfortably codeswitch between Kaapse taal (a creolized dialect of Afrikaans spoken mostly in the Cape Flats) and suiwer Afrikaans (formal Afrikaans as taught at school), and English.
Pre-apartheid
Coloured people played an important role in the struggle against apartheid and its predecessor policies. The African Political Organisation, established in 1902, had an exclusively Coloured membership; its leader Abdullah Abdurahman rallied Coloured political efforts for many years.[9] Many Coloured people later joined the African National Congress and the United Democratic Front. Whether in these organisations or others, many Coloured people were active in the fight against apartheid.

In 1958, the government established the Department of Coloured Affairs, followed in 1959 by the Union for Coloured Affairs. The latter had 27 members and served as an advisory link between the government and the Coloured people.
The 1964 Coloured Persons Representative Council turned out to be a constitutional hitch[clarification needed] which never really got going. In 1969, the Coloureds elected forty onto the council to supplement the twenty nominated by the government, taking the total number to sixty.
Following the 1983 referendum, in which 66.3% of white voters supported the change, the Constitution was reformed to allow the Coloured and Asian minorities limited participation in separate and subordinate Houses in a tricameral Parliament. This was part of a change in which the Coloured minority was to be allowed limited rights, but the Black majority were to become citizens of independent homelands. These separate arrangements were removed by the negotiations which took place from 1990 to provide all South Africans with the vote.
Post-apartheid
Patricia de Lille, mayor of Cape Town and founder of the Independent Democrats, does not use the label Coloured to describe herself but would be considered a Coloured person by many. The Independent Democrats party sought the Coloured vote and gained significant ground in the municipal and local elections in 2006, particularly in districts with heavily Coloured constituencies in the Western Cape. The firebrand Peter Marais (formerly a provincial leader of the New National Party) has also sought to portray his New Labour Party as the political voice for Coloured people.

Who is Saartjie (Sarah) Baartman?
In 1810, when Saartjie Baartman was in her early twenties, she was persuaded by an English ship’s doctor, William Dunlop, to travel to England to make her fortune. However, as a Khoikhoi woman she was considered an anthropological freak in England, and she found herself put on exhibition, displayed as a sexual curiosity. Dubbed The Hottentot Venus, her image swept through British popular culture. Abolitionists unsuccessfully fought a court battle to free her from her exhibitors.
Saartjie Baartman was taken to Paris in 1814 and continued to be exhibited as a freak. She became the object of scientific and medical research that formed the bedrock of European ideas about black female sexuality. When she died in 1816, the Musee de l’Homme in Paris took a deathcast of her body, removed her skeleton and pickled her brain and genitals in jars. These were displayed in the museum until as late as 1985.
After five years of negotiating with the French authorities for the return of Saartjie Baartman’s remains, the South African government, together with the Griqua National Council which represents the country’s 200,000 Griqua people, part of the Koi-San group, brought Saartjie Baartman back to South Africa. On Friday 3 May 2002, in a moving ceremony attended by many representatives of the Khoikhoi people, Saartjie Baartman was welcomed back to Cape Town. Her final resting place is in the Eastern Cape, where she was born.
Sarah Baartman and African women of today share a lot of negative parallels in the way others perceive them. Baartman was made famous across Europe for basically one reason, her buttocks, as the man in the film we watched Tuesday put it. In no way should this be a form of fame. Not in Baartman’s time or ours. But sadly it is. For example Kim Kardashian is ‘famous’ for her butt today.
I have seen countless videos that go viral on social media of women ‘twerking’. Their butt’s the only thing in the shot. And turns out the women are usually black, and if they are not black one is sure to find numerous comments on the video saying something along the lines of “wow she can move like a black girl”. That is a clear example of racism and how black women are sexualized in our everyday life. In Baartmans day there were no cameras to take videos but people would travel to see the same thing people see everyday on popular social media.
As far as I’m concerned we as a whole have not gotten any better. Black women or any women should not be sexualized for their looks.

The fight for land rights and freedom in South Africa goes back more than 100 years. Our history is littered with injustices and the systematic exploitation of black people. Those who colonised South Africa set about crushing indigenous resistance against it by groups such as the San, Nama, Griqua, Korana and Cape Khoi.
Therefore, as we celebrate Freedom Month we must honour our struggle heroes, including those from the Khoi-San community who fought valiantly against colonialism and the deliberate abuse of their human rights. The Khoi-San people who are regarded as the first indigenous people in the country, waged battles against slavery, oppression, exploitation and segregation. Khoi-San leaders such as Autshumato and Chief David Stuurman were some of the first political prisoners to be sent to Robben Island.
These brave men and their followers also fought against the dispossession of land that began before the promulgation of the 1913 Land Act. The violent dispossession of land not only resulted in the erosion of cultural values and livelihoods, it also destroyed the traditional African way of living as one family unit.
The legendary freedom fighter O R Tambo best described this traditional African way of living and spoke about their deep love for the land as follows: In African epochs, long before the coming of the colonial masters from their northern climes three or four centuries ago, men and woman moved skilfully and purposefully across the terrain, plucking from the earth its bounty.
"Trained to utilise a variety of means for their survival, they employed the art of the hunt, the judicious selection of fruits of the wild, the identification of the lushest pastures for their livestock, the cultivation of the most reliable staple foods; the growth of trade, the establishment of collective social structures and a world view, despite the occasional clash of interests between one clan and another, of the practical value of warm relationships and a deep respect for a shared humanity."
When the new democratic government assumed office in 1994 it immediately set about undoing past injustices in a responsible way. It incorporated the principles of the Freedom Charter into the Constitution which demanded, among others the redistribution of the land, the transfer of practical knowledge to use it effectively and to the advantage of the recipients, as well as the abolition of any restrictions on movement of people.

The Griqua (Afrikaans Griekwa, sometimes incorrectly called Korana) are a subgroup of South Africa's heterogeneous and multiracial Coloured people. However, they have a unique origin in the early history of the Cape Colony. Similar to the other Afrikaans-speaking group at the time, the Trekboers, they originally populated the frontiers of the infant Cape Colony, living as semi-nomadic commandos of mounted gunmen. Also like the Boers, they migrated inland from the Cape, and established several states in what is now modern South Africa and Namibia.
Under Apartheid they were classified as "Coloured" and have since mostly integrated with other mixed populations in South Africa.
The Griqua are a racially and culturally mixed people who originated in the intermarriages or sexual relations between European colonists in the Cape and the Khoikhoi already living there in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The different mixed-race groups which developed in the early Cape Colony had a variety of different names for themselves. "Bastaards", "Basters", "Korana", "Oorlam" and "Griqua" were just a few of them, with each group often having a different preference. Like the Afrikaners, these groups frequently migrated inland to escape colonial rule.

Roma Music : Safari Time, Jingle Punks; YouTube Audio Library Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho, is a landlocked country completely surrounded by South Africa. It is just over 30,000 km2 (11,583 sq mi) in size and has a population slightly over two million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru. Lesotho is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The name Lesotho translates roughly into the land of the people who speak Sesotho.[5] About 40% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US $1.25 a day. The earliest known inhabitants of the area were Khoisan hunter-gatherers. The Sotho–Tswana peoples colonized the general region of South Africa between the third and 11th centuries. The present Lesotho, then called Basutoland, emerged as a single polity under King Moshoeshoe I in 1822. Moshoeshoe, a son of Mokhachane, a minor chief of the Bakoteli lineage, formed his own clan and became a chief around 1804. Between 1821 and 1823, he and his followers settled at the Butha-Buthe Mountain, joining with former adversaries in resistance against the Lifaqane associated with the reign of Shaka Zulu from 1818 to 1828. Subsequent evolution of the state hinged on conflicts between British and Dutch colonists leaving the Cape Colony following its seizure from the French-allied Dutch by the British in 1795, and subsequently associated with the Orange River Sovereignty and subsequent Orange Free State. Missionaries invited by Moshoeshoe I, Thomas Arbousset (fr), Eugène Casalis (fr) and Constant Gosselin (fr) from the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, placed at Morija, developed orthography and printed works in the Sotho language between 1837 and 1855. Casalis, acting as translator and providing advice on foreign affairs, helped to set up diplomatic channels and acquire guns for use against the encroaching Europeans and the Griqua people. Trekboers from the Cape Colony showed up on the western borders of Basutoland and claimed land rights, beginning with Jan de Winnaar, who settled in the Matlakeng area in May–June 1838. As more Boers were moving into the area they tried to colonise the land between the two rivers, even north of the Caledon, claiming that it had been abandoned by the Sotho people. Moshoeshoe subsequently signed a treaty with the British Governor of the Cape Colony, Sir George Thomas Napier that annexed the Orange River Sovereignty that many Boers had settled. These outraged Boers were suppressed in a brief skirmish in 1848. In 1851 a British force was defeated by the Sotho army at Kolonyama, touching off an embarrassing war for the British. After repulsing another British attack in 1852, Moshoeshoe sent an appeal to the British commander that settled the dispute diplomatically, then defeated the Tlokoa in 1853. In 1854 the British pulled out of the region, and in 1858 Moshoeshoe fought a series of wars with the Boers in the Free State–Basotho War, losing a great portion of the western lowlands. The last war in 1867 ended when Moshoeshoe appealed to Queen Victoria, who agreed to make Basutoland a British protectorate in 1868. In 1869, the British signed a treaty at Aliwal North with the Boers that defined the boundaries of Basutoland, and later Lesotho, which by ceding the western territories effectively reduced Moshoeshoe's Kingdom to half its previous size. Following the cession in 1869, the British initially transferred functions from Moshoeshoe's capital in Thaba Bosiu to a police camp on the northwest border, Maseru, until administration of Basutoland was transferred to the Cape Colony in 1871. Moshoeshoe died on 11 March 1870, marking the end of the traditional era and the beginning of the colonial era, and was buried at Thaba Bosiu. During their rule between 1871 and 1884, Basutoland was treated similarly to territories that had been forcefully annexed, much to the chagrin of the Basotho. This led to the Gun War in 1881.[8] In 1884, Basutoland was restored its status as a protectorate, with Maseru again its capital, but remained under direct rule by a governor, though effective internal power was wielded by traditional chiefs. Basutoland gained its independence from Britain and became the Kingdom of Lesotho in 1966. In January 1970, the ruling Basotho National Party (BNP) lost the first post-independence general elections, with 23 seats to the Basutoland Congress Party's 36.

Adam Kok: Chief of the Griquas
Adam Kok was a cook, freed slave and founding leader of the newly formed Griqua people. Adam Kok I: Griqua chief Born in 1710, Adam Kok became leader of a new people, the Griquas who were born of inter-racial marriages in South Africa's Cape between the Dutch, Khoikhoi, British, San, Xhosa, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mozambique over hundreds of years of trade, slavery and colonialism. The mixed race people, known as Basters, later Griquas, increasingly squeezed out from their land, moved to the frontiers. In the 1750s they were led by Adam Kok, a freed slave, who started work as a cook (hence "Kok") and managed to obtain burgher rights and a farm near the present Piketberg. Adam Kok married Donna, the daughter of the chief of a Khoikhoi clan, the Chariguriqua, attracted a... -

Andre coloured people - South African fusion
Andre coloured people part 1 In KwaZulu-Natal, most Coloureds come from British and Zulu heritage,[citation needed] while Zimbabwean Coloureds come from Shona or Ndebele mixing with British and Afrikaner settlers. Griqua, on the other hand, are descendants of Khoisan and Afrikaner trekboers. Despite these major differences, the fact that they draw parentage from more than one naturalised racial group means that they are coloured in the southern African context. Such people did not necessarily self-identify this way; some preferred to call themselves black or Khoisan or just South African. The history of racial segregation and labelling in South Africa and neighbouring countries has meant that the governments placed all such mixed race people in a certain relationship together. The imperial... -

Do you know Sarah Baartman? Sarah Baartman is a name that every black person should know.
Who is Saartjie (Sarah) Baartman? In 1810, when Saartjie Baartman was in her early twenties, she was persuaded by an English ship’s doctor, William Dunlop, to travel to England to make her fortune. However, as a Khoikhoi woman she was considered an anthropological freak in England, and she found herself put on exhibition, displayed as a sexual curiosity. Dubbed The Hottentot Venus, her image swept through British popular culture. Abolitionists unsuccessfully fought a court battle to free her from her exhibitors. Saartjie Baartman was taken to Paris in 1814 and continued to be exhibited as a freak. She became the object of scientific and medical research that formed the bedrock of European ideas about black female sexuality. When she died in 1816, the Musee de l’Homme in Paris took a deat... -

Khoi and San people to work with govt in restoring their land rights
The fight for land rights and freedom in South Africa goes back more than 100 years. Our history is littered with injustices and the systematic exploitation of black people. Those who colonised South Africa set about crushing indigenous resistance against it by groups such as the San, Nama, Griqua, Korana and Cape Khoi. Therefore, as we celebrate Freedom Month we must honour our struggle heroes, including those from the Khoi-San community who fought valiantly against colonialism and the deliberate abuse of their human rights. The Khoi-San people who are regarded as the first indigenous people in the country, waged battles against slavery, oppression, exploitation and segregation. Khoi-San leaders such as Autshumato and Chief David Stuurman were some of the first political prisoners to be... -

Khoikhoi
The Khoikhoi (/ˈkɔɪˌkɔɪ/; "people people" or "real people") or Khoi, spelled Khoekhoe in standardised Khoekhoe/Nama orthography, are the native pastoralist people of southwestern Africa. They had lived in southern Africa since the 5th century AD. When European immigrants colonised the area after 1652, the Khoikhoi were practising extensive pastoral agriculture in the Cape region, with large herds of Nguni cattle. The Dutch settlers labelled them Hottentots (/ˈhɒtənˌtɒts/), in imitation of the sound of the Khoekhoe language, but this term is today considered derogatory. Archaeological evidence shows that the Khoikhoi entered South Africa from Botswana through two distinct routes—travelling west, skirting the Kalahari to the west coast, then down to the Cape, and travelling south-east out in... -

Adam Kok married Donna, the daughter of the chief of a Khoikhoi clan, the Chariguriqua, attracted a mixed following of Basters, Khoikhoi and escaped slaves as he moved to Little Namaqualand.
He established a system of government with leaders, kaptyns and magistrates drawn from the leading families.
To escape British rule, the Boers trekked inland, but this caused further tension as the new republics encroached on Griqua land.
Adam Kok died in 1795 at Pella, but his name lives on in Kokstad. His son Cornelius, and grandson Adam Kok II continued the survival of the Griqua people.

Andre coloured people part 1
In KwaZulu-Natal, most Coloureds come from British and Zulu heritage,[citation needed] while Zimbabwean Coloureds come from Shona or Ndebele mixing with British and Afrikaner settlers. Griqua, on the other hand, are descendants of Khoisan and Afrikaner trekboers. Despite these major differences, the fact that they draw parentage from more than one naturalised racial group means that they are coloured in the southern African context. Such people did not necessarily self-identify this way; some preferred to call themselves black or Khoisan or just South African. The history of racial segregation and labelling in South Africa and neighbouring countries has meant that the governments placed all such mixed race people in a certain relationship together. The imperial and apartheid governments categorized them as Coloureds. In addition, other ethnic groups also traditionally viewed them as a separate group.
During the apartheid era, in order to keep divisions and maintain a race-focused society, the government used the term Coloured to describe one of the four main racial groups identified by law: Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians. (All four terms were capitalised in apartheid-era law.)
Many Griqua began to self-identify as Coloureds during the apartheid era. There were certain advantages in becoming classified as Coloured. For example, Coloureds did not have to carry a dompas (an identity document designed to limit the movements of the non-white populace), while the Griqua, who were seen as another indigenous African group, did.
Coloured people constitute a majority of the population in Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces. Most speak Afrikaans, while about ten percent of Coloureds speak English as their mother tongue, mostly in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. However, virtually all Cape Town Coloureds are bilingual.[7][8] Some can comfortably codeswitch between Kaapse taal (a creolized dialect of Afrikaans spoken mostly in the Cape Flats) and suiwer Afrikaans (formal Afrikaans as taught at school), and English.
Pre-apartheid
Coloured people played an important role in the struggle against apartheid and its predecessor policies. The African Political Organisation, established in 1902, had an exclusively Coloured membership; its leader Abdullah Abdurahman rallied Coloured political efforts for many years.[9] Many Coloured people later joined the African National Congress and the United Democratic Front. Whether in these organisations or others, many Coloured people were active in the fight against apartheid.
Explanation of South African identity numbers in an identity document during apartheid in terms of official White, Coloured and Indian population subgroups
In 1958, the government established the Department of Coloured Affairs, followed in 1959 by the Union for Coloured Affairs. The latter had 27 members and served as an advisory link between the government and the Coloured people.
The 1964 Coloured Persons Representative Council turned out to be a constitutional hitch[clarification needed] which never really got going. In 1969, the Coloureds elected forty onto the council to supplement the twenty nominated by the government, taking the total number to sixty.
Following the 1983 referendum, in which 66.3% of white voters supported the change, the Constitution was reformed to allow the Coloured and Asian minorities limited participation in separate and subordinate Houses in a tricameral Parliament. This was part of a change in which the Coloured minority was to be allowed limited rights, but the Black majority were to become citizens of independent homelands. These separate arrangements were removed by the negotiations which took place from 1990 to provide all South Africans with the vote.
Post-apartheid
Patricia de Lille, mayor of Cape Town and founder of the Independent Democrats, does not use the label Coloured to describe herself but would be considered a Coloured person by many. The Independent Democrats party sought the Coloured vote and gained significant ground in the municipal and local elections in 2006, particularly in districts with heavily Coloured constituencies in the Western Cape. The firebrand Peter Marais (formerly a provincial leader of the New National Party) has also sought to portray his New Labour Party as the political voice for Coloured people.

Who is Saartjie (Sarah) Baartman?
In 1810, when Saartjie Baartman was in her early twenties, she was persuaded by an English ship’s doctor, William Dunlop, to travel to England to make her fortune. However, as a Khoikhoi woman she was considered an anthropological freak in England, and she found herself put on exhibition, displayed as a sexual curiosity. Dubbed The Hottentot Venus, her image swept through British popular culture. Abolitionists unsuccessfully fought a court battle to free her from her exhibitors.
Saartjie Baartman was taken to Paris in 1814 and continued to be exhibited as a freak. She became the object of scientific and medical research that formed the bedrock of European ideas about black female sexuality. When she died in 1816, the Musee de l’Homme in Paris took a deathcast of her body, removed her skeleton and pickled her brain and genitals in jars. These were displayed in the museum until as late as 1985.
After five years of negotiating with the French authorities for the return of Saartjie Baartman’s remains, the South African government, together with the Griqua National Council which represents the country’s 200,000 Griqua people, part of the Koi-San group, brought Saartjie Baartman back to South Africa. On Friday 3 May 2002, in a moving ceremony attended by many representatives of the Khoikhoi people, Saartjie Baartman was welcomed back to Cape Town. Her final resting place is in the Eastern Cape, where she was born.
Sarah Baartman and African women of today share a lot of negative parallels in the way others perceive them. Baartman was made famous across Europe for basically one reason, her buttocks, as the man in the film we watched Tuesday put it. In no way should this be a form of fame. Not in Baartman’s time or ours. But sadly it is. For example Kim Kardashian is ‘famous’ for her butt today.
I have seen countless videos that go viral on social media of women ‘twerking’. Their butt’s the only thing in the shot. And turns out the women are usually black, and if they are not black one is sure to find numerous comments on the video saying something along the lines of “wow she can move like a black girl”. That is a clear example of racism and how black women are sexualized in our everyday life. In Baartmans day there were no cameras to take videos but people would travel to see the same thing people see everyday on popular social media.
As far as I’m concerned we as a whole have not gotten any better. Black women or any women should not be sexualized for their looks.

Not in Baartman’s time or ours. But sadly it is. For example Kim Kardashian is ‘famous’ for her butt today.
I have seen countless videos that go viral on social media of women ‘twerking’. Their butt’s the only thing in the shot. And turns out the women are usually black, and if they are not black one is sure to find numerous comments on the video saying something along the lines of “wow she can move like a black girl”. That is a clear example of racism and how black women are sexualized in our everyday life. In Baartmans day there were no cameras to take videos but people would travel to see the same thing people see everyday on popular social media.
As far as I’m concerned we as a whole have not gotten any better. Black women or any women should not be sexualized for their looks.

The fight for land rights and freedom in South Africa goes back more than 100 years. Our history is littered with injustices and the systematic exploitation of black people. Those who colonised South Africa set about crushing indigenous resistance against it by groups such as the San, Nama, Griqua, Korana and Cape Khoi.
Therefore, as we celebrate Freedom Month we must honour our struggle heroes, including those from the Khoi-San community who fought valiantly against colonialism and the deliberate abuse of their human rights. The Khoi-San people who are regarded as the first indigenous people in the country, waged battles against slavery, oppression, exploitation and segregation. Khoi-San leaders such as Autshumato and Chief David Stuurman were some of the first political prisoners to be sent to Robben Island.
These brave men and their followers also fought against the dispossession of land that began before the promulgation of the 1913 Land Act. The violent dispossession of land not only resulted in the erosion of cultural values and livelihoods, it also destroyed the traditional African way of living as one family unit.
The legendary freedom fighter O R Tambo best described this traditional African way of living and spoke about their deep love for the land as follows: In African epochs, long before the coming of the colonial masters from their northern climes three or four centuries ago, men and woman moved skilfully and purposefully across the terrain, plucking from the earth its bounty.
"Trained to utilise a variety of means for their survival, they employed the art of the hunt, the judicious selection of fruits of the wild, the identification of the lushest pastures for their livestock, the cultivation of the most reliable staple foods; the growth of trade, the establishment of collective social structures and a world view, despite the occasional clash of interests between one clan and another, of the practical value of warm relationships and a deep respect for a shared humanity."
When the new democratic government assumed office in 1994 it immediately set about undoing past injustices in a responsible way. It incorporated the principles of the Freedom Charter into the Constitution which demanded, among others the redistribution of the land, the transfer of practical knowledge to use it effectively and to the advantage of the recipients, as well as the abolition of any restrictions on movement of people.

Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho, is a landlocked country completely surrounded by South Africa. It is just over 30,000 km2 (11,583 sq mi) in size and has a population slightly over two million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru. Lesotho is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The name Lesotho translates roughly into the land of the people who speak Sesotho.[5] About 40% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US $1.25 a day.
The earliest known inhabitants of the area were Khoisan hunter-gatherers. The Sotho–Tswana peoples colonized the general region of South Africa between the third and 11th centuries.
The present Lesotho, then called Basutoland, emerged as a single polity under King Moshoeshoe I in 1822. Moshoeshoe, a son of Mokhachane, a minor chief of the Bakoteli lineage, formed his own clan and became a chief around 1804. Between 1821 and 1823, he and his followers settled at the Butha-Buthe Mountain, joining with former adversaries in resistance against the Lifaqane associated with the reign of Shaka Zulu from 1818 to 1828.
Subsequent evolution of the state hinged on conflicts between British and Dutch colonists leaving the Cape Colony following its seizure from the French-allied Dutch by the British in 1795, and subsequently associated with the Orange River Sovereignty and subsequent Orange Free State. Missionaries invited by Moshoeshoe I, Thomas Arbousset (fr), Eugène Casalis (fr) and Constant Gosselin (fr) from the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, placed at Morija, developed orthography and printed works in the Sotho language between 1837 and 1855. Casalis, acting as translator and providing advice on foreign affairs, helped to set up diplomatic channels and acquire guns for use against the encroaching Europeans and the Griqua people.
Trekboers from the Cape Colony showed up on the western borders of Basutoland and claimed land rights, beginning with Jan de Winnaar, who settled in the Matlakeng area in May–June 1838. As more Boers were moving into the area they tried to colonise the land between the two rivers, even north of the Caledon, claiming that it had been abandoned by the Sotho people. Moshoeshoe subsequently signed a treaty with the British Governor of the Cape Colony, Sir George Thomas Napier that annexed the Orange River Sovereignty that many Boers had settled. These outraged Boers were suppressed in a brief skirmish in 1848. In 1851 a British force was defeated by the Sotho army at Kolonyama, touching off an embarrassing war for the British. After repulsing another British attack in 1852, Moshoeshoe sent an appeal to the British commander that settled the dispute diplomatically, then defeated the Tlokoa in 1853.
In 1854 the British pulled out of the region, and in 1858 Moshoeshoe fought a series of wars with the Boers in the Free State–Basotho War, losing a great portion of the western lowlands. The last war in 1867 ended when Moshoeshoe appealed to Queen Victoria, who agreed to make Basutoland a British protectorate in 1868. In 1869, the British signed a treaty at Aliwal North with the Boers that defined the boundaries of Basutoland, and later Lesotho, which by ceding the western territories effectively reduced Moshoeshoe's Kingdom to half its previous size.
Following the cession in 1869, the British initially transferred functions from Moshoeshoe's capital in Thaba Bosiu to a police camp on the northwest border, Maseru, until administration of Basutoland was transferred to the Cape Colony in 1871. Moshoeshoe died on 11 March 1870, marking the end of the traditional era and the beginning of the colonial era, and was buried at Thaba Bosiu. During their rule between 1871 and 1884, Basutoland was treated similarly to territories that had been forcefully annexed, much to the chagrin of the Basotho. This led to the Gun War in 1881.[8] In 1884, Basutoland was restored its status as a protectorate, with Maseru again its capital, but remained under direct rule by a governor, though effective internal power was wielded by traditional chiefs.
Basutoland gained its independence from Britain and became the Kingdom of Lesotho in 1966.
In January 1970, the ruling Basotho National Party (BNP) lost the first post-independence general elections, with 23 seats to the Basutoland Congress Party's 36. Prime Minister Leabua Jonathan refused to cede power to the Basotho Congress Party (BCP), declared himself Tona Kholo (Sesotho translation of prime minister), and imprisoned the BCP leadership.

The Khoikhoi (/ˈkɔɪˌkɔɪ/; "people people" or "real people") or Khoi, spelled Khoekhoe in standardised Khoekhoe/Nama orthography, are the native pastoralist people of southwestern Africa. They had lived in southern Africa since the 5th century AD. When European immigrants colonised the area after 1652, the Khoikhoi were practising extensive pastoral agriculture in the Cape region, with large herds of Nguni cattle. The Dutch settlers labelled them Hottentots (/ˈhɒtənˌtɒts/), in imitation of the sound of the Khoekhoe language, but this term is today considered derogatory.
Archaeological evidence shows that the Khoikhoi entered South Africa from Botswana through two distinct routes—travelling west, skirting the Kalahari to the west coast, then down to the Cape, and travelling south-east out into the Highveld and then southwards to the south coast. Chiefly, the largest group of the Khoikhoi to remain as a group are the Namas.

John Lockley Interview Highlights
Voices of the Earth, a project of the Earth Medicine Alliance (www.earthmedicine.org) speaks with John Lockley, an African Shaman who originates from South Africa. In the 1980s, John had a strong dream calling him to train as a Xhosa Sangoma (shaman). Because of his country's Apartheid laws, it took him seven years to find his teacher. In 1994, he trained in the townships of Eastern Cape, serving a 10-year apprenticeship with his teacher, a well-known sangoma medicine woman. Today, John facilitates Ubuntu (humanity) workshops around the world, teaching people the ancient arts of dreaming, using medicinal plants and connecting with the ancestral/spirit world. He is also trained in Yoga, Zen Buddhism and Clinical Psychology. For more information, please visit www.african-shaman.com. -

Kwaai City - NAMA DANCE A `RIEL' HIT AT THE 2014 CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL
For the first time ever, the Riel - age-old dance of the Nama people - took pride-of-place at the Cape Town Carnival. Riel Dancers from Wupperthal, Elizabethfontein, Citrusdal Academy, as far as the Northern Cape, revived the dance to tell modern day stories of their lives. Floris Brand of Bushman's Kloof assembled the troop of eager dancers for the grand occasion - who danced the streets of Cape Town - to the traditional music of maestro, Bertie Zass and his band. And the crowds absolutely loved them! Born out of traditional Khoi and San ceremonial dances around the fire, it has been practiced by descendants of these indigenous cultures for many years, most of whom were sheep shearers and farm workers across the Cape.

The Boer Republics (sometimes also referred to as Boer states) were independent self-governed republics created by the Dutch-speaking (proto Afrikaans) inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope and their descendants (variously named Trekboers, Boers and Voortrekkers, but today collectively known as Afrikaners) in mainly the northern and eastern parts of what is now the country of South Africa. Although some of these republics were already founded from 1795 onwards during the period of Dutch colonial rule at the Cape, most of these states were established after Britain took over from the Netherlands as the colonial power at the Cape of Good Hope. Subsequently a number of its Dutch-speaking (proto-Afrikaans often called "die taal") inhabitants trekked inland in 1835 in order to escape British ... -
Autshumato: The Interpreter
He travelled the world, spoke five languages, ran a post office, escaped Robben Island and made a lot of money! Autshumato - The Interpreter! Aushamato: The Interpreter In the early 17th century, Autshmato was chief of the Gorinhaikonas. His people had abandoned traditional Khoikhoi cattle farming to trade with Europeans sailing down South Africa's Cape. In 1631, Aushamato travelled to Indonesia to learn English. A year later, he returned to work for the British on Robben island as an interpreter, negotiator and post master. Twenty years later, the Dutch began colonising the Cape, and Autshmato worked for them too, becoming wealthy and buying many heads of cattle. He could also speak Portuguese, French and Dutch. In 1659, during the first Khoikhoi-Dutch War, Autshmato was imprison... -
Sangoma - Discovering Shamans of South Africa - Teaser
Check out http://sangomathemovie.com/ to read the Journey Diary. A team of consciousness-explorers chronicle their adventure in this feature film to bring home the shamanic wisdom of South Africa. Can we learn from the oldest people on the planet how to access extraordinary healing and deep bliss?

The Sangoma production was successfully crowd-funded on kickstarter.com. Even if you missed the Kickstarter campaign you can still back this project and receive the perks here. There are still funds necessary to pay the editors to work full time on the film. Your support will allow us to release the film in Fall 2011. Join us on this... -
Khama: The Great!
Botswana's Khama the Great fought off Germans and his own father to keep Botswana safe! Khama the Great In the late 19th century, the Bamangwato was most the powerful tribe in Bechuanaland (now Botswana) under Chief Sekgoma and his Christian-convert son Khama. One day, Khama disobeyed his father by refusing to marry a second wife. His polygamous father was enraged and Khama was forced to escape with his Christian followers to Serowe. Surviving two assassination attempts, Khama went to war against his own father and won, becoming king of the Bamangwato in 1875. He abolished polygamy and murderous initiation rituals. He also introduced new methods of farming, built schools, grain silos, and water systems. With the English, Boers, Ndebele even the Germans wanting to occupy his t... -

Khoisan Fair Trade Trust
This little movie was made by two Swedish students in 2009/2010. It tells a bit of the story of Khoisan Natural Salt at Velddrift on the West Coast of South Africa, but primarily, the story is about fair trade and the difference the fair trade trust made in the life of one woman. While some of the commentary is in Swedish, all the interviews are in English. The movie was cut and edited from its original length - apologies to the makers and the musician - we had to let the most beautiful bits go... Thankfully, the magic of the West Coast, the love of the film-makers for their subject and the vital energy of the salt endures... Enjoy! -
Maqoma: The Warrior
Unlike his father, Maqoma refused to bow down to British domination. He used guerilla tactics, started two wars and was the mightiest Xhosa warrior! Maqoma: The Renowned Frontier Chief Born in 1798 in Rharhabe, he was the Right Hand Son of Ngqika, King of the Rharhabe division of the Xhosa nation. He became chief of the Xhosa and died at a grand age of 75 on Robben Island in 1873. Maqoma was opposed to his father's ceding land between the Fish and Keiskamma rivers to the British-run Cape Colony, and wanted to regain ancestral land, so moved into the "Neutral Zone" in 1822 to start a new chiefdom on the Kat River banks, but colonial raids expelled him in 1829, the year his father died. Maqoma took up arms in 1834 in the Sixth Xhosa War and became known as the most powerful Rhar... -

Jebb Sinclair - Canadian National Rugby Team
By BRUCE HALLIHAN - Scott MacAfee is loving every hard-hitting minute of the 2012 rugby World Cup. He's not alone. Canadian sports fans have a new appreciation for Canada's rugby team after the country's solid showing in New Zealand. "It's great to see all the hard work finally getting some recognition," said MacAfee, who played senior rugby for two decades with the Fredericton Loyalists. "Rugby's had a cult following for years, but I think there are a lot of new fans, which is nice, and (Canada) is playing some really inspired rugby, too." "I still don't know all the rules of rugby," someone posted on TSN's message boards, "but I know heart when I see it." Another post: "Any man or woman who puts on the maple leaf and goes to battle for this country is top shelf in my books. Proud of ... -
Western Province Rugby Academy - End of Year Camp 2015
Our year at the academy culminated with our annual end of year camp. Where we started things off at the picturesque Blue Rock Dam; where we enjoyed "Foofie" sliding, cliff jumping and paint balling. We then headed off to our annual spot at the Palmiet Rivier in Kleinmond. Here we lit the fires, cracked some cold ones and enjoyed the company and all that nature had to offer. The next day we set off on the Outdoor adventure race where the boys completed a number of tasks in the outdoors. We ended off the camp with our dinner at Le Reve and lit those fires one last time for the last social of the year. It's been an extremely gruelling year, but nonetheless rewarding and to end it all off with the camp was an amazing experience. -

The Shaman's Apprentice
The Shaman's Apprentice (2008) recalls actress Antoinette Pienaar's magical-realist journey of transformation with the 92 year-old Griekwa 'bush doctor' Johannes Willemse. Karoo-born, Pienaar had always wanted to uncover the secrets of this vast and mysterious landscape, seemingly barren, yet teeming with life. It took a life-threatening illness to meet the herbalist who was to become her teacher. As it happens, 'bossie doktor' Johannes Willemse had seen her arrival in a dream some thirty years before. In this lyrical, pertinent film Pienaar speaks a universal language and connects on an almost primordial level. She tells of her recovery and growing awareness of nature, guided patiently by her mentor's firm hand and gentle humour. -

Voices of the Earth, a project of the Earth Medicine Alliance (www.earthmedicine.org) speaks with John Lockley, an African Shaman who originates from South Africa. In the 1980s, John had a strong dream calling him to train as a Xhosa Sangoma (shaman). Because of his country's Apartheid laws, it took him seven years to find his teacher. In 1994, he trained in the townships of Eastern Cape, serving a 10-year apprenticeship with his teacher, a well-known sangoma medicine woman. Today, John facilitates Ubuntu (humanity) workshops around the world, teaching people the ancient arts of dreaming, using medicinal plants and connecting with the ancestral/spirit world. He is also trained in Yoga, Zen Buddhism and Clinical Psychology. For more information, please visit www.african-shaman.com.

Support us now @ http://kck.st/ggezjS and be ONE of the 1000 backers of $10. In this feature film, a team of consciousness-explorers chronicle their adventure to bring home the shamanic wisdom of South Africa.
Funding on Kickstarter is always all or nothing. If we don't reach our funding goal of $7500, we won't receive any funds. Come play your part in this full length film by backing this project today. We thank you in advance and welcome you on this incredible journey!
Michael Brwon did not upload the video, nor is he involved in the Sangoma project, and it has nothing to do with his work of The Presence Process.
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Our society, it feels, is entangled in its busi(y)ness. Many are cooped up in ties, while others are uploading their 101st profile picture. We're trying to squeez through the cracks of the cement we've poured on ourselves. Unfortunately, happiness is lost in this solid mix.
How can we move again with the natural flow and re-align with the earth?
South Africa's tribal culture may present us with a fresh perspective. That is if they still remain. Our oldest human traditions and the people who speak them are quickly dwindling into extinction. What if there's something we can all do about it? Together with you, we are creating a film to chronicle the shamans and wise ones - collectively hearing their living voices.
Beginning in Johannesburg, an interviewing streak we will make, snaking around the cradle of homo-sapiens. Oral history, plant technologies, and shamanic wisdom kick off the conversation.
What are we looking for in these interviews? Goodness, Beauty, and Truth exuding from a people. Practical techniques and traditions that bring humans joy and freedom. Discovering the healing power of reconnecting with our ancestors. To learn shamanic methods of trance & the ecstatic state. Our team of five will be put to the test. We'll be exploring some of the oldest sacred places and cave drawings on this planet, and... filming it all to share with you.
Join us as we are stepping into the unknown. On our quest the unpredictable will raise questions. The answers will challenge our expectations, beliefs, and even cultural identity. To share the whole experience we're including this very personal part of our journey in the documentary. This will be the golden thread weaving through the interviews.
The outcome will be an integrative art piece full of beautiful African voices to raise awareness and consciousness. Your Sangoma-DVD will also offer you special features with direct lessons of genuine shamanic techniques and methods, and other treasures yet to uncover.
Become part of this full length film by baking this project today. We thank you in advance and welcome you on this incredible journey! Vaarwel for now!

For the first time ever, the Riel - age-old dance of the Nama people - took pride-of-place at the Cape Town Carnival. Riel Dancers from Wupperthal, Elizabethfontein, Citrusdal Academy, as far as the Northern Cape, revived the dance to tell modern day stories of their lives. Floris Brand of Bushman's Kloof assembled the troop of eager dancers for the grand occasion - who danced the streets of Cape Town - to the traditional music of maestro, Bertie Zass and his band. And the crowds absolutely loved them!
Born out of traditional Khoi and San ceremonial dances around the fire, it has been practiced by descendants of these indigenous cultures for many years, most of whom were sheep shearers and farm workers across the Cape.
The Riel dance was very popular in the forties, fifties and sixties, but has been sadly neglected in recent decades. Dressed typically in traditional, farm-worker outfits - the women in dresses with aprons and old frontier bonnets, and the men in waistcoats and hats adorned with feathers, finished with the famous, hand-made red veldskoen -- these vibrant dancers were a `Riel' hit.
Popular Riel dances include courtship rituals, and mimicking typical animal antics along with lots of bravado, showmanship and foot stomping. It has only recently been revived through the efforts of writer and storyteller, Elias Nel of the Afrikaanse Taal & Kultuurvereniging (ATKV), who introduced the ATKV Riel dance competition in 2006, to ensure the survival of the dance and introduce the world to this wonderful, foot-stomping, cultural whirlwind.

1856 The Boer Republics

The Boer Republics (sometimes also referred to as Boer states) were independent self-governed republics created by the Dutch-speaking (proto Afrikaans) inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope and their descendants (variously named Trekboers, Boers and Voortrekkers, but today collectively known as Afrikaners) in mainly the northern and eastern parts of what is now the country of South Africa.
Although some of these republics were already founded from 1795 onwards during the period of Dutch colonial rule at the Cape, most of these states were established after Britain took over from the Netherlands as the colonial power at the Cape of Good Hope. Subsequently a number of its Dutch-speaking (proto-Afrikaans often called "die taal") inhabitants trekked inland in 1835 in order to escape British administrative control in a movement that became known as the Great Trek. Several of these states were established after military defeats of the indigenous population by the Voortrekkers/Boers by virtue of their technologically superior weaponry.
The Voortrekker usually skirted the most densely populated areas, trekking into largely depopulated areas which were the result of the Mfecane or Difaqane initiated by the Zulu King Shaka in the 1820s. When the Voortrekkers encountered locally established groups/nations, they tended to opt to negotiate, turning to warfare only when attacked.
The Voortrekkers under the leadership of Piet Retief obtained a treaty from the Zulu King Dingane to settle part of the lands the Zulus administered or held sway over, but Dingane later changed his mind, killing Retief and 70 members of his delegation. Dingane's impis (Zulu warriors) then went on to kill almost 300 Voortrekkers who had settled in the Natal region.
After Andries Pretorius was recruited to fill the leadership vacuum created by the deaths of Piet Retief and Gerhard Maritz, he initially offered to negotiate for peace with Dingane if he were to restore the land he had initially offered to Retief. [1] Dingane responded by attacking the Voortrekkers; on 16 December 1838 the battle of Nacome River (later named the Battle of Blood River) occurred, during which 300 Voortrekkers survived and won a decisive battle against thousands of Dingane's impis.
The Natalia Republic was established in 1839 by the local Boers after Pretorius entered into an alliance with Mpande, the new Zulu king.
The territories north of the Vaal River in the Transvaal were officially recognized as independent by Great Britain with the signing of the Sand River Convention on 17 January 1852. [2] The territories and districts of the Transvaal were Potchefstroom, Lydenburg and Zoutpansberg, which united in 1857 to form the South African Republic.
The Orange Free State was recognized as independent by Great Britain on 17 February 1854. The Orange Free State became officially independent on 23 February 1854 with the signing of the Bloemfontein or Orange River Convention. The Orange Free State was nicknamed the model republic.
The New Republic (comprising the town of Vryheid) was established in 1884 on land given to the local Boers by the Zulu King Dinuzulu the son of Cetshwayo after he recruited local Boers to fight on his side. The Boers were promised and granted land for their services & were led by Louis Botha who would go on to prominence during the second Anglo-Boer War. This republic was later absorbed into the Transvaal/South African Republic.
States were also established by other population groups, most notable the Griqua, a subgroup of South Africa's heterogeneous and multiracial Coloured people. Most notable among these were Griqualand West and Griqualand East.
While some of these were mini-states which were relatively short-lived some, especially the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, developed into successful independent countries which along with Britain were also officially recognized by the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium and the United States. [3] These two countries continued to exist for several decades, despite the First Boer War with Britain. However, later developments, including the discovery of diamonds and gold in these states, led to Second Boer War. In this war the Transvaal and Orange Free State were defeated and annexed by the overwhelmingly larger British forces and they officially ceased to exist on 31 May 1902 with the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging. A new British colony, the Union of South Africa, was subsequently established in which the Transvaal and the Orange Free State became provinces along with the Cape and Natal.

Dingane's impis (Zulu warriors) then went on to kill almost 300 Voortrekkers who had settled in the Natal region.
After Andries Pretorius was recruited to fill the leadership vacuum created by the deaths of Piet Retief and Gerhard Maritz, he initially offered to negotiate for peace with Dingane if he were to restore the land he had initially offered to Retief. [1] Dingane responded by attacking the Voortrekkers; on 16 December 1838 the battle of Nacome River (later named the Battle of Blood River) occurred, during which 300 Voortrekkers survived and won a decisive battle against thousands of Dingane's impis.
The Natalia Republic was established in 1839 by the local Boers after Pretorius entered into an alliance with Mpande, the new Zulu king.
The territories north of the Vaal River in the Transvaal were officially recognized as independent by Great Britain with the signing of the Sand River Convention on 17 January 1852. [2] The territories and districts of the Transvaal were Potchefstroom, Lydenburg and Zoutpansberg, which united in 1857 to form the South African Republic.
The Orange Free State was recognized as independent by Great Britain on 17 February 1854. The Orange Free State became officially independent on 23 February 1854 with the signing of the Bloemfontein or Orange River Convention. The Orange Free State was nicknamed the model republic.
The New Republic (comprising the town of Vryheid) was established in 1884 on land given to the local Boers by the Zulu King Dinuzulu the son of Cetshwayo after he recruited local Boers to fight on his side. The Boers were promised and granted land for their services & were led by Louis Botha who would go on to prominence during the second Anglo-Boer War. This republic was later absorbed into the Transvaal/South African Republic.
States were also established by other population groups, most notable the Griqua, a subgroup of South Africa's heterogeneous and multiracial Coloured people. Most notable among these were Griqualand West and Griqualand East.
While some of these were mini-states which were relatively short-lived some, especially the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, developed into successful independent countries which along with Britain were also officially recognized by the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium and the United States. [3] These two countries continued to exist for several decades, despite the First Boer War with Britain. However, later developments, including the discovery of diamonds and gold in these states, led to Second Boer War. In this war the Transvaal and Orange Free State were defeated and annexed by the overwhelmingly larger British forces and they officially ceased to exist on 31 May 1902 with the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging. A new British colony, the Union of South Africa, was subsequently established in which the Transvaal and the Orange Free State became provinces along with the Cape and Natal.

Aushamato: The Interpreter
In the early 17th century, Autshmato was chief of the Gorinhaikonas. His people had abandoned traditional Khoikhoi cattle farming to trade with Europeans sailing down South Africa's Cape. In 1631, Aushamato travelled to Indonesia to learn English. A year later, he returned to work for the British on Robben island as an interpreter, negotiator and post master. Twenty years later, the Dutch began colonising the Cape, and Autshmato worked for them too, becoming wealthy and buying many heads of cattle. He could also speak Portuguese, French and Dutch. In 1659, during the first Khoikhoi-Dutch War, Autshmato was imprisoned on Robben Island -- South Africa's Alcatraz - due to his shifting allegiances. A year later, he became the only person to escape the island and cunningly managed to resume his work as interpreter, negotiator and diplomat for the Dutch.Autshomato died in 1663, and his influence over the dutch, english and his own people forever shaped south africa's historySadly, his people the Gorinhaikonas were wiped out by a small pox epidemic in 1773.

Botswana's Khama the Great fought off Germans and his own father to keep Botswana safe!
Khama the Great
In the late 19th century, the Bamangwato was most the powerful tribe in Bechuanaland (now Botswana) under Chief Sekgoma and his Christian-convert son Khama. One day, Khama disobeyed his father by refusing to marry a second wife. His polygamous father was enraged and Khama was forced to escape with his Christian followers to Serowe.
Surviving two assassination attempts, Khama went to war against his own father and won, becoming king of the Bamangwato in 1875. He abolished polygamy and murderous initiation rituals. He also introduced new methods of farming, built schools, grain silos, and water systems.
With the English, Boers, Ndebele even the Germans wanting to occupy his territory, Khama used skilful diplomacy, including travelling to meet Queen Victoria to protect his people from these invaders. This included escaping the clutches of the powerful colonialist: Cecil John Rhodes.
Khama stood firm, and Botswana and the Tswana people are thriving today! Khama died in Serowe in 1923, but still stands tall in the Three Dikgosi Statue in Gaborone! Never forget Khama the Great!

Unlike his father, Maqoma refused to bow down to British domination. He used guerilla tactics, started two wars and was the mightiest Xhosa warrior!
Maqoma: The Renowned Frontier Chief
Born in 1798 in Rharhabe, he was the Right Hand Son of Ngqika, King of the Rharhabe division of the Xhosa nation. He became chief of the Xhosa and died at a grand age of 75 on Robben Island in 1873.
Maqoma was opposed to his father's ceding land between the Fish and Keiskamma rivers to the British-run Cape Colony, and wanted to regain ancestral land, so moved into the "Neutral Zone" in 1822 to start a new chiefdom on the Kat River banks, but colonial raids expelled him in 1829, the year his father died.
Maqoma took up arms in 1834 in the Sixth Xhosa War and became known as the most powerful Rharhabe chief.
In 1847 the British claimed Rharhabe land under British "Kaffraria"; as diplomacy failed, guerrilla warfare was the only option for Maqoma in the War of Mlanjeni (or 8th Xhosa War) from 1850-53, frustrating the British.
He was later imprisoned on Robben Island for 12 years.
Maqoma died in 1873, but will be remembered as one of the greatest Xhosa leaders.

By BRUCE HALLIHAN - Scott MacAfee is loving every hard-hitting minute of the 2012 rugby World Cup. He's not alone.
Canadian sports fans have a new appreciation for Canada's rugby team after the country's solid showing in New Zealand.
"It's great to see all the hard work finally getting some recognition," said MacAfee, who played senior rugby for two decades with the Fredericton Loyalists. "Rugby's had a cult following for years, but I think there are a lot of new fans, which is nice, and (Canada) is playing some really inspired rugby, too."
"I still don't know all the rules of rugby," someone posted on TSN's message boards, "but I know heart when I see it."
Another post: "Any man or woman who puts on the maple leaf and goes to battle for this country is top shelf in my books. Proud of you already, boys!"
New Brunswick fans have two 'boys' to root for: Fredericton's Jebb Sinclair and Belleisle's Chauncey O'Toole. Both earned starting spots at the outset and have kept them.
Canada has a 1-1-1 record and has climbed to 12th in the world rankings. Canada beat Tonga 25-20 in its opening match, and was holding France at 10-10 before a second-half collapse resulted in a 46-19 blowout.
Monday night, ball-handling mistakes - derisively referred to as "spilling the pill" - and missed kicks left Canada trailing Japan 23-15 with five minutes remaining. But flyhalf Ander Monro's try and last-minute penalty kick - he had missed three of four earlier - pulled Canada into a 23-23 draw.
Canada has little chance of winning its final Pool A game Saturday night (11:30 p.m. AT). New Zealand All Blacks are on their home soil and have been ranked No. 1 since November 2009.
The All Blacks have lost just 37 home games in 107 years, and the fact Canada will be playing on four days preparation makes this rugby's version of Mission: Impossible.
But unless Tonga upsets two-time finalist France, Canada will end up third in the pool, earning an automatic berth to the 2015 World Cup in England.
"They'd also get the IRB funding, which will enable them to run a more successful program," MacAfee said, "but the biggest thing is Canada will be able to play games against top-tier teams - international matches against England, Scotland, France and Italy instead of, say, Portugal or other teams that are around the same level as them."
MacAfee has watched three World Cups live: 1991 in the U.K., 1999 in France and 2003 in Australia.
"In the past, you'd always see Canada be really competitive for the first 25 or 30 minutes or maybe even the first half, but now we're competitive almost all the way to the end (80 minutes).
"It's not going to take much more to get to that point," MacAfee said, "where some of those games and some of those breaks go our way."
Canada coach Kieran Crowley challenged players to build themselves up physically if they wanted to represent their country at the World Cup.
"For most Canadian players, rugby is their hobby. They're not professional players," MacAfee said, "but they show all the commitment of all those professional teams. They're big dudes and they play with a lot of heart. The thing I've noticed about this Canadian team, as opposed to past Canadian teams, is there was always lots of heart and lots of commitment, but this time we're the same size as they (opposing players) are and there are players on the field who are the same skill as they are."
***
Three longtime Loyalists, coach Keith McAlpine, Simon Pacey and Alison Aiton, travelled to New Zealand to catch Canada's final two games, along with other World Cup matches.
Pacey, paceonearth on Twitter, tweeted: "Made it to NZ...quite the journey; 45 hours door to door."
***
Despite games starting late at night or early morning, with the time zone difference, "there are still 25 or so people showing up at four in the morning or one at night" to watch Canada's games on the big screen at the Loyalist clubhouse.
"When Jebb scored Canada's first try, you probably could have heard the whoop from the clubhouse on the southside," MacAfee said.
***
Kids with the Loyalists mini-rugby program sent a 'Good Luck Canada' video to Sinclair.
When the rugby club held a send-off for Sinclair, he came armed with a hockey equipment bag full of Rugby Canada gear: "T-shirts and jerseys and shorts and socks," MacAfee said. "He just went into the locker room and said, 'Have at 'er, boys.' All the boys are wearing Jebb clothes right now. He's outfitted a club."

Our year at the academy culminated with our annual end of year camp. Where we started things off at the picturesque Blue Rock Dam; where we enjoyed "Foofie" sliding, cliff jumping and paint balling. We then headed off to our annual spot at the Palmiet Rivier in Kleinmond. Here we lit the fires, cracked some cold ones and enjoyed the company and all that nature had to offer. The next day we set off on the Outdoor adventure race where the boys completed a number of tasks in the outdoors. We ended off the camp with our dinner at Le Reve and lit those fires one last time for the last social of the year. It's been an extremely gruelling year, but nonetheless rewarding and to end it all off with the camp was an amazing experience.

The Shaman's Apprentice (2008) recalls actress Antoinette Pienaar's
magical-realist journey of transformation with the 92 year-old
Griekwa 'bush doctor' Johannes Willemse.
Karoo-born, Pienaar had always wanted to uncover the secrets of this vast and mysterious landscape, seemingly barren, yet teeming with life. It took a life-threatening illness to meet the herbalist who was to become her teacher. As it happens, 'bossie doktor' Johannes Willemse had seen her arrival in a dream some thirty years before.
In this lyrical, pertinent film Pienaar speaks a universal language and connects on an almost primordial level. She tells of her recovery and growing awareness of nature, guided patiently by her mentor's firm hand and gentle humour.
