The hill of Doves — in isiZulu amaJuba means the place of many doves or pigeons. It became a place of violence and blood, and yet the catastrophic defeat of the British at Majuba was indeed to lead to peace. The doves would fly again albeit fleetingly. As you heard last episode, British commander General George Colley had been one of the casualties of the battle — Sir Evelyn Wood was now in charge of the empire's army in the Transvaal. Or to be more accurate, in Natal attempting to enter the Transvaal. Colley was buried at Mount Prospect — the British base below Laings Nek in sight of Majuba — letters of condolence were sent to his wife Lady Colley by the Town councils of Pietermaritzburg and Durban .. and also by the Transvaal Boer Leaders. Colley had asked that his body should be allowed to remain where he fell on the battlefield, and so it was. His wife would have to travel to the Transvaal border to see where he lay. A state of war existed, the Boers continued to besiege all British garrisons in the Transvaal in early 1881. More about that in a moment. The Summer rains were falling, drenching the landscape like the blood of Majuba, and both sides sought peace. Boer emissaries had met with the Swazi king, but he was loathe to join the attack on the empires forces. On the 2nd March 1881 Evelyn Wood relayed a letter to the Boer leadership, the triumpherate as they were known from his base at Newcastle. “to President Brand, Bloemfontein, P Joubert (he means Commandant Piet Joubert, Boer commander in the Transvaal) requests me to send you the following telegram…” The British commander as postman — relaying one Boer message to another. Brand's message back was reconciliatory in tone. “…We are willing to accept every offer made by your Honour …” and by your honour Joubert meant Wood … “that peace may be, as far as it is not in direct opposition to our liberty…” That was the minimum demand — the Boers demanded their liberty. ON the 5th, Wood and his staff met Piet Joubert and Boer leaders half way between Mount Prospect and Laing's Nek in a hastily erected tent. The British hardliners were horrified - how could Wood, an English General who had now built up a force of 10 000 soldiers in Natal concede to an interview with the leaders of the enemy for the sake of gaining time to negotiate peace? Some said it was too absurd to be credited, others in the English camp were astonished. But he was also a general who represented an army that had been beaten four times in an open fight — Bronkhorspruit, Laings Nek, Schoonspruit, Majuba. Why continue the war? It was time to resolve things. While the English nationalists bayed for Boer blood, were calling for this upstart Transvaal Republic to be crushed as a warning to other rebels across the empire, cooler heads prevailed. Joining Wood were Major Frazer, Captain Maude and Mr Cropper the translator. On the Boer side, Piet Joubert, DC Uys, CJ Joubert and CHJ Fouchees, with AJ Foster interpreting. A tight group. The fewer involved the better. Wood opened with meeting with an explanation — he was there to call for an armistice so that Kruger and the Volksraad could reply to General Colley's communication of the 21st February re: peace. The entire meeting was to last an astonishing 90 minutes. Joubert presented the Transvaal position most concisely, Complete amnesty for all leaders, freedom of the Transvaal from British government although they'd accept suzerainty, no interference in Transvaal's internal affairs — they meant on matters pertaining to race and land. It was the word suzerainty that was the problem child here. To the British government, particularly officials in London, suzerainty implied that the restored Boer republic in the Transvaal would enjoy internal self-government but would remain subordinate to the British Crown in matters such as foreign relations as well as overall imperial authority. The Boer negotiators understood the term far more loosely.

In hierdie insiggewende gesprek op die program "Kopskuif" verduidelik arbeidsterapeute Elisa Duplessis en Melissa Skoeman (Mondia Corporate Care, Bloemfontein) dat rus veel meer is as net slaap. Hulle bespreek die 7 tipes rus volgens Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: fisiese, kognitiewe, sensoriese, kreatiewe, emosionele, sosiale en spirituele rus. Hulle wys dat jy moeg kan voel selfs ná ‘n langnaweek omdat jy nie die regte tipe rus gekry het nie. Die gashere deel praktiese “mikro-oomblikke” van rus vir by die werk en huis, en beklemtoon dat ware rus jou help om meer produktief, gebalanseerd en betekenisvol te leef. Die program word moontlik gemaak deur die ATKV.
Die bekende operasanger, Mimi Coertse, sterf. Tugstappe is teen 120 Wes-Kaapse onderwysers in die afgelope boekjaar gedoen vir die beweerde aanranding van leerlinge. Kenners meen die lae opkoms by die regering se Vryheidsdagvieringe in Bloemfontein is 'n duidelike teken dat die ANC steun verloor.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says the Government of National Unity is prioritising inclusive growth, job creation, poverty reduction and easing the cost of living, while building a capable and ethical state. Addressing thousands at National Freedom Day celebrations at Dr Rantlai Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein, he stressed that strengthening local government is key to transforming municipalities into efficient, responsive service centres that meet citizens' needs amid ongoing national challenges and service delivery pressures. Elvis Presslin spoke to Political analyst Professor Lesiba Tefo
The South African Federation of Trade Unions says Freedom Day must go beyond celebration, as the country marks the occasion today at Dr Rantlai Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein. The federation warns political freedom remains incomplete without economic justice, citing deepening inequality and unemployment. It says the vision of the Freedom Charter has been undermined, while urging government to prioritise redistribution and decent work. Elvis Presslin spoke to SAFTU General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi

Die DA in die Vrystaat verwelkom die Hooggeregshof in Bloemfontein se uitspraak oor die finale verbeurdverklaring van ses luukse eiendomme en ʼn Mercedes-Benz-voertuig met ʼn totale waarde van 32 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand in Gauteng, die Vrystaat en Noordwes. Roy Jankielsohn van die DA sê die hof het bevind hierdie bates is bekom deur bedrieglike aktiwiteite soos bedrog, korrupsie en geldwassery wat verband hou met die asbesdak-skandaal van 255 miljoen rand:
COPE leader Mosioua Lekota's funeral proceedings are currently underway at Bloemfontein’s Old Grey Sports Ground in the Free State. Thousands of mourners have gathered to bid farewell to the struggle stalwart. Lekota died at the age of 77 at the Johannesburg hospital last week.

Honderd en vyf oudsoldate en ouddienspligtes het in 2018 na Angola gereis op die ou paaie van slagvelde en gevegte. Dié toer is aangebied deur 61 Gemeganiseerde Bataljon se Militêre Veteranevereniging. Baie van die mans wroeg al vir jare oor die hartseer en pyn wat hulle as jong seuns ervaar het. Skaars 18 en 19 jaar oud, en hulle moes gaan veg, die dood in die oë staar en ‘n vyand doodmaak. Nog ‘n belangrike rede hoekom sommige op die toer gekom het, was om te gaan soek na Luitenant Muller Meiring se Ratel 72, iewers in die bosse in Angola. Muller se Ratel is op 27 Junie 1988 klaarblyklik deur 'n RPG-vuurpyl getref tydens ‘n dramatiese hinderlaag. Sewe van sy oudmakkers het spesiaal gekom om na die slagveld te kom kyk waar hulle geveg het. Kobus Rudolph praat met Muller se ma, Suzanne Meiring, wat vertel van die geweldige skok, hartseer en trauma. Die Meirings het hulle familieplaas in Verkeerdevlei buite Bloemfontein verkoop, en na Australië verhuis. Hy praat ook met Daniel Potgieter, wat die kanonier op die Ratel was. Hy het langs Muller Meiring gesit toe die vuurpyl hulle tydens die hinderlaag getref het.

Vic Verchereau welcomes Simon Dyson, who is Owner and Insurance Consultant at I Care Insurance. The South African Munga Race is a death defying challenge that stretches the most gifted athletes. In the midst of facing overwhelming odds and life threatening hazards, Simon Dyson emerged from the painful physical stress to find a new purpose for the possibilities his life holds. The Munga is a premier 1,000 km+ single-stage, semi-supported ultra-endurance mountain bike race held annually in South Africa (typically starting in Bloemfontein and ending in Wellington). Known as one of the world's toughest races, it takes 3 to 5 days of riding through the scorching Karoo desert, featuring immense heat, freezing nights, and sleep deprivation. In these extremes, Simon discovered inner passions through physical pain. In this edition of the Leadership Lowdown, Vic Verchereau takes us along for the ride of a lifetime and the discovery of crystal clear clarity.

That discovery, though, was just the beginning of a very dark road they were about to head down with Frederiksen which spanned almost his entire life.

Due to a huge number of requests following a new Netflix doc on Thabo Bester, we're re-releasing our 2023 episode on the shocking, shameless, madder-than-fiction South African saga.--At 2am, on the 3rd of May 2022 – inmates at Mangaung prison in Bloemfontein, South Africa, were woken up by an explosion. Word spread that Thabo Bester, the infamous “Facebook Rapist”, had set himself and his cell on fire. And all that remained after the dramatic blaze were a lighter, and a body, burnt beyond recognition. But that's far from the end of the story. With daily revelations from the trial still hitting headlines, expect a farcical morgue-robbing scheme, a massive-scale web of fraud conducted from inside a prison cell, and a glamorous celebrity doctor who's not quite what she seems.--Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Sokker: Bafana Bafana speel vandag in Bloemfontein teen Nigerië, wetende dat 'n oorwinning regstreekse kwalifikasie vir volgende jaar se Wêreldbekertoernooi sal verseker - mits geen strafpunte afgetrek word nie. FIFA moet nog beslis of Suid-Afrika drie punte moet verbeur vir die insluiting van die geskorste Teboho Mokoena in die span wat Lesotho in Maart 2-0 geklop het. Bafana lei Groep C met 16 punte, met Benin tweede en Nigerië derde. Kaptein Ronwen Williams sê hulle is gefokus op die wedstryd:
When the world feels uncertain and fear threatens to overwhelm, how do we stay rooted in faith? In this conversation, theologian Hanna Reichel joins me to talk about the new devotional For Such a Time as This. We explore what history - especially the lessons of Germany a century ago - can teach us about resilience, discernment, and Christian witness today. Hanna helps us see that faithfulness doesn't always look the same: sometimes it's public protest, sometimes it's small acts of solidarity, sometimes it's simply choosing joy. Together, we reflect on how to find calm in the storm, how to discern wisely, and how to live with hope in anxious times.Hanna Reichel is Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. Reichel earned their Dr. theol. in Systematic Theology from Heidelberg University, Germany, after an MDiv in Theology and a BSc in Economics. Prior to coming to Princeton, they taught at Heidelberg University and Halle-Wittenberg University in Germany. Reichel is also a research fellow at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa.An internationally renowned scholar and widely sought speaker, Reichel has authored three monographs, co-edited nine collected volumes, and published several dozen scholarly articles. Reichel's first book, Theologie als Bekenntnis: Karl Barths kontextuelle Lektüre des Heidelberger Katechismus reframes Barth as a contextual theologian through his repeated engagements with this Reformed confession over the course of his life. The book received the Lautenschläger Award for Theological Promise and the Ernst Wolf Award. Reichel's second book, After Method: Queer Grace, Conceptual Design, and the Possibility of Theology has been widely celebrated for building bridges between Queer-liberationist and Reformed-Systematic sensibilities, as well as constructively introducing design theory into conversations about theological method. Reichel's newest book, For Such a Time as This: An Emergency Devotional is directed at a wider audience, offering a timely resource for ordinary Christians seeking to live faithfully in extraordinary times of societal upheaval and political fragility.Hanna's Book:For Such a Time as ThisHanna's Recommendation:On TyrannySubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 1st of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 19:35: “Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.“ I want to speak to you today about miracles, small miracles. There is no such thing, of course, as a small miracle. It's either a miracle or it's not a miracle. Now, I have been riding horses for fifty years. I am still riding a horse. I think you know him, maybe better than you know me. His name is Snowy. He is now 19 years old and he is still a beautiful horse and he is doing me so proud. But I don't want to talk to you about that. I want to talk to you about a young donkey, a male donkey, a colt, that has never ever been ridden before. Jesus got on that donkey and rode him into Jerusalem, into a crowd that was shouting and screaming and praising and throwing their clothes on the road, and waving palm branches all over that donkey. He never once tried to run away, tried to bite someone, tried to buck the Master off his back - not once! Have you ever thought about that?What I want to say to you today is that we must get used to small miracles. That old lady trying to find a parking place because she has got sore legs: “Lord, just open a parking place for me in front of the supermarket, please.” And what happens? Oh yes, because she believes. The problem is, a lot of us don't.When we started farming, Jill and I didn't have very much money at all. Often that vehicle of ours would be on empty. Some people say that “empty-e” stands for enough! It's not funny. It's amazing how the Lord makes that vehicle go just that much further. When we did that huge prayer meeting in Bloemfontein when the boys were mowing down a thousand hectares of grass, people would bring in diesel to fuel the tractors, and many times the young men would come to me and say, “Oom Angus, we don't know how this works. That bowser was supposed to be empty two days ago, and it is still producing diesel and filling the tractors, every single day.”Trust the Lord for your miracle today and He will not disappoint you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 27th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 18:38: And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then we go down to verse 41. Jesus said to him: “What do you want Me to do for you?”He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” “And immediately he received his sight,…”Today I received a letter which has touched me very deeply. Obviously, without using the actual people's names, for privacy, I need to read this letter to you because it has blessed me immensely. This is how the letter goes, it says:“Dear Uncle Angus,It has taken me some time, eight years in fact, to write you this letter. My wife and I grew up in God-fearing homes. We loved the Lord and we believed that the ideal family is a husband and wife and children, but once we got married and we had to work hard on our careers, we postponed having a family.” But when they got into their thirties, they say that they were trying to have a child and she could not fall pregnant. So they decided to go to a huge prayer meeting held in Bloemfontein. That prayer meeting had approximately 1.4 million people attending. In the middle of the meeting, I said, “I feel there are people here who cannot have babies and can you please stand up.” At first, he said he was hesitant, not because he doubted but because of the hundreds of thousands of eyes upon you - it is not easy to stand up, but praise God for the women! His wife stood up, pulled him up and the two of them stood there and prayed with me that they were going to have a baby. This is after going to many doctors and they said, “You are not going to have a baby because you can't.” But we can do all things through Christ Jesus! Apparently, on the morning of 6th of August 2017, his wife called him in a shrill voice. He thought a snake was in her bed. They live in Johannesburg and he knew it wasn't a snake and she stood there and she said, “I am pregnant!” Praise be to God! He has told me that they now have 4 children and he has given me the dates and the names, and I just had to share that with you today, because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. (Hebrews 13:8) Trust the Lord for your miracle!God bless you and goodbye.
El Sabueso de los BaskervilleSir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930)Translated by Arturo Costa Álvarez (1870 - 1929)El sabueso de los Baskerville, también traducido como El perro de los Baskerville o El mastín de los Baskerville, es la tercera novela de Arthur Conan Doyle que tiene como protagonista principal a Sherlock Holmes. Fue publicada por entregas en el The Strand Magazine entre 1901 y 1902. La novela está principalmente ambientada en Dartmoor, en Devon en el Condado Oeste de Inglaterra. Conan Doyle escribió esta historia poco después de regresar de Sudáfrica, donde había trabajado como voluntario médico en The Langman Field Hospital en Bloemfontein. Fue asistido en el argumento por un periodista de 30 años de edad del Daily Express llamado Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870-1907). Sus ideas provienen de la leyenda de Richard Cabell, que fue la inspiración de la leyenda de los Baskerville. Su tumba se puede ver en un pueblo llamado Buckfastleigh.

Die Springbok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus, het die vaskopstut Asenathi Ntlabakanye se toewyding geloof, wat tot sy insluiting in die nasionale span gelei het. Die 26-jarige Ntlabakanye is een van vier nuwe spelers in die Bok-groep wat die Barbarians Saterdag in Kaapstad pak. Sy ontwikkeling het intensiewe oefeninge ingesluit op die skrumafrigter, Daan Human, se plaas naby Bloemfontein, waar hy op kondisionering en tegniese skrumwerk gefokus het. Erasmus sê Ntlabakanye se toewyding het 'n dramatiese fisieke verandering meegebring:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag sê die eerste groep soldate, wat na die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo ontplooi is, sal môre na die land terugkeer. Hulle was deel van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap se sending in die DRK. Hul terugkeer volg op die repatriasie van die oorskot van 14 soldate vroeër die jaar, wat tydens botsings met M23-rebelle dood is. Prins Tshabalala van die SANW sê die troepe sal by die Bloemspruit-lugmagbasis in Bloemfontein aankom:
This is episode 221, 1863, the midst of the Transvaal Civil War. As you heard in episode 220, this was the making of a new president and one who'd take the Trekker Republics into the 20th Century, albeit in the midst of the Anglo-Boer War. There had been a rapid and real effect — as the farmers took up arms against each other, the Transvaal's economy collapsed. This weakened the government's ability to back up its stated authority. By now the tiny independent States of Lydenburg and Utrecht had joined the Transvaal accepting the authority of the Transvaal. They had been outliers since the trekkers first arrived in those regions, fifteen years earlier. To recap - In 1859, Transvaal President, Marthinus Wessel Pretorius, was invited to stand for President in the Orange Free State, many burghers there now wanted to unify with the Transvaal. They were mainly worried about how to deal with King Moshoeshoe of the Basotho. The Transvaal constitution that he had just enacted made it illegal to hold office abroad, still Pretorius won the Transvaal election, then Volksraad attempted to side-step the constitutional problems by granting Pretorius half-a-year of leave. They hoped some kind of solution would be found — Pretorius left for Bloemfontein and appointed Johannes Hermanus Grobler to be acting president in his absence. Up stepped Stephanus Schoeman from the Marico region who unsuccessfully attempted to use force to supplant Johannes Grobler as acting president. Schoeman believed that the presidency should have been granted to him as the new Transvaal constitution stipulated that in the case of the president's dismissal or death, the presidency should be granted to the oldest member of the Executive Council. Schoeman was three years older than Grobler. Forward fast to 1863, Kruger had defeated Schoeman at a skirmish outside Potchefstroom. He had also managed to convince some of the supporters of rebel in the Heidelberg district to switch sides, and had ridden back to Pretoria with a local farmer of high standing, Jan Marais. There a council of war determined that rebels like Schoeman were taking advantage of a disagreement between the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The two fledgling Boer Republics could not agree on where the boundary lay between them. Transvaal President Van Rensburg duly assigned Kruger the duty of riding to the Free State to settle the question of the border - and he left almost immediately, taking a group of burghers with him as security. Further West, the Marico district was a hotbed of rebel activity and the commandant there, Jan Viljoen, heard about Kruger's mission and organised a commando. On the way to Potch, a spy warned Kruger about what awaited. He changed course, and set off with a small detachment to confront Viljoen while Kruger's 2 IC, Veld kornet Sarel Eloff dashed forward to seize a nearby kopje - the all important high ground. Viljoen is so happened, was also on his way to the very same kopje. One of the aspects of this conflict which is interesting is how Kruger used his spies or messengers as he called them. They were feeding him information daily, information about what Schoeman and Viljoen were up to. The capacity to recon an enemy was one of the defining strengths of the Boer military system, and would be sharpened constantly over the coming century and a half. Folks, there are remarkable resonances in this apparently distant little civil war. When the Union of South Africa was achieved, Bloemfontein was nominated as the seat of the Supreme Court of the union. Cape Town and Pretoria shared power, parliament in Cape Town, Pretoria the seat of government. The Free State is slap bang in the middle — so they got the Supreme Court. These historical instances reflect a legal and political philosophy that, in the aftermath of internal conflict, prioritising national healing through amnesty can be more beneficial than widespread punitive actions.
Die polisie het bevestig dat die wit VW Polo wat uit die Hennopsrivier in Centurion gehaal is, aan die drie Vrystaatse polisiebeamptes behoort het wat vroeër die week dood is. Konstabels Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge het vermis geraak nadat hulle verlede week van Bloemfontein na hul ontplooiingsgebied in Limpopo gereis het. Hul liggame is Dinsdag uit die rivier gehaal. Polisiekommissaris Fannie Masemola sê 'n deeglike ondersoek sal nou gedoen word:
Die polisie het bevestig dat die soek- en reddingspanne stukke van 'n voertuig - insluitend 'n voor- en agterbuffer - by die Hennopsrivier in Centurion gevind het. 'n Polisiewoordvoerder, Athlenda Mathe, sê kenners probeer vasstel of dit met die Volkswagen Polo verbind kan word waarmee die polisiekonstabels Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge van Bloemfontein na Limpopo gereis het:
Die nasionale polisiekommissaris, Fannie Masemola, het bevestig dat drie van die vyf liggame wat uit die Hennopsrivier in Centurion, Pretoria, gehaal is, dié van die konstabels is wat verlede Woensdag vermis geraak het. Konstabels Linda Cebekhulu, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge het verdwyn terwyl hulle van Bloemfontein na hul ontplooiingsgebied in Limpopo gereis het. Masemola sê die vierde liggaam is dié van 'n administrateur by die Lyttleton-polisiestasie. Die vyfde liggaam is ontbind, en die identiteit kon nog nie bevestig word nie:
Die DA eis 'n volle ondersoek en dissiplinêre optrede ná die onttrekking van atlete van Limpopo uit die SA skolekampioenskappe in Bloemfontein in die Vrystaat. Die party sê atlete is sonder kos of verblyf gelaat en moes op busse slaap na mislukte beplanning deur die provinsiale Departement van Sport, Kuns en Kultuur. Franco Marx van die DA dring aan dat diegene wat verantwoordelik is, aanspreeklik gehou moet word om die publiek se vertroue te herstel:
He risked bankruptcy in planting potatoes in the dust and drought against everyone's counsel, and it yielded a bumper crop. He organised a weekend initiative which grew into 450,000 men gathering on his farm! The Spirit prompted him to call for a prayer meeting and 1.4million people showed up! 80 of his farm-workers were there to witness him praying for a dead lady struck by lightning whom he'd offered to take to the morgue, and she came back to life.

This is episode 200 - we have reached the double century milestone on our winding journey through the past. When I began the series in 2021 after some years of planning, I had no idea what would happen. Diving into the shark tank that is history podcasting took a great deal of forethought. One person's history is another persons' propaganda after all, social engineers rewrite the past to suit their own agenda's and this series has been based on our people's stories first. Endeavouring to let the folks of the south talk for themselves, which of course, can threaten folks' world view about their origins, or their personal narrative. It is rife with risk. So it's with some relief to report that the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This series is now the third most shared podcast in South Africa — a stunning revelation given that I am doing this solo. There is no marketing team, no financier, no patron, just me and you the listener. Thanks to Francois at iono.fm for the growth in advertising, nothing for mahala I guess. Speaking of filthy lucre, I have a PayPal account for donations which can be found on desmondlatham.blog. The funds go towards the series audio hosting fees. The third video episode is about to land on YouTube, so things are happening. With that craven bit of begging, let us continue for we are going to spend this episode meeting Cape Governor, Sir George Grey. He is probably the most influential Englishman in both New Zealand and South Africa's history, playing a key role in the annexation of Maori land, he spent time as a Governor of Australia. Very much an administrator of his time, he believed in educating the masses, and put his money where his mouth was, founding Grey's College in Bloemfontein in 1855, then Grey's High School in Gbeberha a year later. In between, all manner of shenanigans were recorded. But wait. As we hear about Sir George, I'll introduce his amaxhosa alter ego, Manhlakaza, aka Wilhelm Goliath, who was the first amaXhosa Anglican in South Africa. Manhlakaza's relationship with the Archdeacon of Grahamstown, Nathanial James Merriman, was going to change the whole course of South Africa's history. Don't take my word for it, this is the view of many who know much more than me about these things, particularly the fantastic historian Jeff Peires. Here were two people, opposites. Grey and Goliath. Their tale is tantamount to the gears of history turning like a great, soot-streaked clockwork, steam-punk cogs groaning under the weight of human ambition and magical ether, while the past, a fog of coal-smoke and brass, hisses and sputters, propelling the unwieldy engine unsteadily into the unknown. The allegorical story this episode contains metaphors and illustrations of an era. Grey believed white and black people were essentially the same, it was only culture and backward rituals that separated the races. Grey wrote regularly about how aborigines and later amaXhosa “…are as apt and intelligent as any other race of men I am acquainted with…” “They are subject to the same affections, appetites and passions as other men…” Simply put, he thought that the Aborigines, the Maoris, the First People's of Canada, the Khoekhoe, the Nguni and Tswana speaking south Africans, all wanted to become Englishmen but couldn't because they were trapped by the barbarous customs and rituals enforced by their older generation. At the same time, the colonial in him believed that no Aborigine, or Maori or African culture, was worth the grand heights of English culture. Still, that didn't stop him personally conducting a major contribution study of the Maori language and folklore. That study is regarded one of the most important research into early Maori ways — a contradiction considering that he didn't hold the Maori ways in high regard. What a strange character.
