  • Description: The town chosen for examination was King William’s Town, in the Border region of the Cape Province. Dating back over a century and more to the days of the old British Kaffraria, the town has existed long enough to build up an apparently stable population with its own way of life. Today about fourteen-and-a-half thousand souls live in the borough, of whom under seven thousand are Whites. The community lie s in a region of small towns, dominated by the nearby city of East London, which is about 40 miles away on the coast, and provides one of the smaller of the harbours on the eastern coastline of the Republic. King William's Town is a compact, apparently static community, and seems to be typical of many small inland towns in South Africa. Its ways of life and problems probably match those of not a few other towns in the Republic. What types of people live in a small town such as King William’s Town, and what do they think about their community? Where have the people in the town come from, and are they likely to stay on in the community, or leave it? How do they earn their living, and does the town provide a living for the younger generation, or must they leave to seek work elsewhere? These are key questions, involving important aspects of town life, which there search project attempts to answer. The study concentrates on the Whites living in the community, and analyses them in some d e tail. It describes the different types of people to be found in the town, and shows how they earn their living. Attitudes towards life in the town are investigated. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

  • Description: From the Introduction. The fertilisation of pineapples in the Eastern Cape Province is still a relatively new practice which started approximately twelve years ago. Even after this time many growers still insist that pineapples can be grown without fertilisation on virgin soils. As the available virgin soil decreased, however, so the interest in fertiliser application increased. Very little basic research on the fertiliser requirements of pineapples in the Eastern Cape was done to serve as a guide to growers. The available advisory literature by le Roux (1951), Malan (1954) and Lewcock (1956) were based on overseas experience. When pineapple research was started on a large scale, in 1955, it was realised that emphasis should be placed on the nutritional requirements on virgin as well as replanted soils. From initial experiments it was clear that the main response in plant growth and yield was obtained from nitrogenous fertilisers.

  • Description: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of: (i) varying the level of supply of the heavy metals iron, manganese, copper and zinc. (ii) varying the ratio between different pairs of metals in the medium. In particular the iron:manganese and zinc:copper ratios were studied. Initially the two fungi Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, (variety and strain) and Penicillium notatum Westling, were used. Penicillium notatum Westling was subsequently discarded, in favour of Penicillium glancum Link, because it did not sporulate freely in liquid culture. The fungi were grown in controlled nutrient solutions, and during the course of tho growth and development, the form and sporulation of the felts was noted. After a period of growth, the felts were removed, dried and weighed. The pH of the liquor was measured. the results were studied to determine the effect of varying levels of supply of the heavy metals, and of the varying heavy metal ratios in the culture solution. In the investigation of the effect of varying the level of supply of individual heavy metals, optimum concentrations were demonstrated for copper and manganese. Increaning the concentration of pairs of heavy metals cimultaneously was found to influence the appearance and degree of symptoms of toxicity. Cultures of Aspergillus and Penicillium were found to be able to tolerate concentrations of copper, in particular, considerably greater than the observed optima, when zinc was present in equal concentration. Citric acid, and subsequently ethylene- diaminetetra-acetic acid, were used as chelating agents, in order to prevent the precipitation of the metals in the culture solution during autoclaving. It was found that the use of chelating agents markedly reduced symptoms of toxicity. There was no conclusive evidence that the iron:manganese ratio in the culture medium was an important factor in the growth and development of cultures of Aspergillus and Penicillium. However there is considerable evidence that in cultures of Penicillium, the zinc:copper ratio in the medium is of some importance in the determination of the dry weight yield trends. This effect was not demonstrated in cultures of Aspergillus.

  • Description: What we do possess to-day as 'art' a faked music, filled with exotic and showcard effects, that every ten years or so concocted out of the form-wealth of millenia some new "style'' which is no style at all since everyone does as he pleases. A lying plastic that steals from Assyria, Egypt and Mexico indifferently. Yet this and only this, the taste of the "man of the world" can be accepted as the expression and sign of the age. Everything else, everything that sticks to old ideals is for provincial consumption. This is the year 1965 - nearly fifty years since Oswald Spengler published "The decline of the West" The paragraph I have quoted by way of justification for this dissertation is in turn a justiification of the fact that Spengler is as valid today as he was in 1918.

  • Description: During 1963 an area was mapped around Sidbury, 23 miles south- west of Grahamstown. The object of the survey was to examine stratigraphic problems, which included the nature of a large occurrence of shale south of Alicedale in a region previously mapped as Witteberg, and the relationship between Silcrete and Calcrete. During the invest igation evidence of the existence of two, possibly three , major thrust-faults and of extensive overfolding to the south was discovered. There is reason to believe, that movement on the Zuurberg Fault was initiated in pre-Cretaceous times, and renewed in the early Cretaceous. The Silcrete is shown to be related to the pattern of presentday drainage. Stone implements found embedded in the Calcrete suggest that it is of Recent age.

  • Description: The Lumwana copper orebody is situated 170 miles west of the Copperbelt. It is stratiform and occurs in schists regarded as part of the Katanga System older than the lower-most Copperbelt quartzite. The discovery of copper at the Lumwana Prospect was a text book example of the success of the R.S.T. Mines Services Limited prospecting techniques. These include partial geochemical analyses of soil and drainage samples, pitting, drilling and radiometric, self potential, magnetic, resistivity and induced polarization methods of geophysical exploration. The copper-bearing formations at the Lumwana Prospect occur in the inverted limb of a great recumbent fold within the Mombezhi Dome. Three periods of folding are recognized from the study of regional foliations and lineation, and the attitude of fold elements in individual folds. Each period of folding is regarded as a major pulse in the Lufilian Orogeny. The first-formed folds are isoclinal and have axial planes which strike at 160°, and dip southwest at 15°; the plunge is 11° in a direction 212° . The formation of first folds was accompanied by thrust faulting and the development of nappe structures including the great Lumwana recumbent fold. The second folds have axial planes which strike at 170° and dip west at 44°, the plunge is 12° in a direction of 192°, and the folds tend to be overturned. The third folds cut across the earlier folds at variable angles, they are overturned to the north and have axial planes which dip gently to the south. The formation of third folds was such that northward-acting stress was rotated from southeast to southwest, and relaxation of this stress resulted in the development in competent strata of joints which strike at 120° and dip steeply. At the Lumwana Prospect the northward-acting Lufilian stress is thought to have been resolved into eastward acting stress during first and second folding as a result of compression near the centre of the Lufilian Arc. The third folds are the normal Lufilian folds sub-parallel to the Lufilian Arc. Normal faulting and intrusion of gabbro along planes of these faults and the earlier thrust faults eccurred in a post-Lufilian tensional phase. In recent times warping of the formations at Lumwana has occurred on east-west axes. Statistical examination of chemical data on fifty-four composite samples of mineralized rock from drill-holes reveals that the distribution of copper, iron and sulphur is related to that of potash and soda. These relationships can be explained on sedimentological grounds since the examination of the distribution of soda and potash in these and other horizons yields no evidence of metasomatism in the mineralized horizon. Intrusive into the mineralized schists, though not found in the ore, are thin amphibolites and a large serpentinite which contains relict olivine and bronzite. This is the first recorded occurrence of ultrabasic rocks in the Lower Roan Group of the Katanga System in this part of Zambia. Study of all formations at the Lumwana Prospect reveals that they have been metamorphosed in the epidote-amphibolite facies of regional metamorphism. Mineral assemblages indicative of the amphibolite facies are found in sheared rocks, and metamorphism in competent parts of the Upper Roan-Mwashia has been confined to the greenschist facies. Temperatures of metamorphism are estimated to have been between 250° and 280°C, and pressures are likely to have exceeded 6 kilobars. Evidence of metasomatism, absent in the Lower Roan, is found in the examination of the Upper Roan-Mwashia formations. Metasomatism includes scapolitization and albitization and is related to the intrusion of gabbro into these sediments, but does not necessarily involve exogenous material. The sulphide minerals identified are bornite, chalcocite, digenite, covellite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, valleriite, carrollite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Intergrowths of these minerals have resulted from metamorphism at temperatures slightly in excess of 235°C. The copper sulphides are distributed zonally in the orebody with chalcocite- bornite ore where the mineralized schist is thin, and chalcopyrite- cubanite-pyrite ore where it is thick. Vertically the body contains horizons with sulphides relatively rich in copper at the top and bottom, and an intermediate zone with sulphides leaner in copper. This zonal distribution is considered to be evidence for syngenetic deposition of copper during successive cycles of transgression and regression. Ore genesis at Lumwana is closely related to genesis of the Copperbelt and Katanga orebodies. The Zambia-Katanga province is considered to have been enriched in copper epigenetically prior to the formation of the present-day orebodies. Reworking of these cupriferous rocks and some early-formed syngenetic deposits of which Lumwana is one, is considered to have played a major role in producing the present-day copper orebodies.

  • Description: Bilharziasis ranks with Tuberculosis and Malaria as the three most important endemic diseases of man in Rhodesia. The prominence given to bilharziasis in the endemic diseases pattern arises from its high prevalence, particularly in the African population. It is probable that bilharziasis was endemic in the country even prior to the arrival in the conntry of the European settlers in 1890, but it was not until Orpen (1915) described the results of a small survey that local infections were proven. He reported 182 (31 percent) urinary infections in 592 African prisoners examined in the Salisbury gaol. In the ensuing 15 years there was only scanty evidence of the prevalence of the disease. However, in the decade 1931 to 1940 the Annual Public Health Reports of Southern Rhodesia indicated increasing prevalence, and this stimulated interest in the problem and led to the establishment in 1939 of a specialised laboratory to study the parasites causing the disease. The unpublished records of this laboratory indicate that in more recent years the disease has increased not only in prevalence but also in its intensity in infected individuals. Surveys show that the urinary form of the disease is more widespread than the intestinal form. Both forms are becoming more prevalent but the rapid increase of the latter, considered by most authorities to be the more severe, indicates that a greater importance must be accorded to it in the future.

  • Description: The "Reminiscences" of Thomas Stubbs are one of several such compositions which have survived from the 1820 Settlers. The manuscript offers one of the fullest and most lively accounts of frontier life, and the experiences of the Settlers as seen through the eyes of Thomas Stubbs. The object of this thesis has been to reconstruct the life of Thomas Stubbs which has proved an arduous yet absorbing task and to comment upon and evaluate some of the views Stubbs expressed when he wrote the "Reminiscences" between 1874 and 1875, as well as to test, where possible, the validity of the opinions and sentiments formed during a half-century's acquaintance with the Eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope.
