locates rapists in the Cape Colony within the broader existing literature on rape in British colonial settings. It provides empirical data on rape reporting and conviction rates drawn from a systematic investigation of court records over one hundred years. The focus of this thesis, inspired by the works of Joanna Bourke and Chet Fransch, are: who were these rapists, why did they commit these acts of rape and what was the role of the state in regulating rape at the Cape? It is through these lenses that this dissertation revisits the inter-connectedness of rape, race and class in the colonial setting of 19th century South Africa.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: “Hou die Seuns Gelukkig”: 'n Kritiese Ondersoek met in Verkragting Tendense in die Kaap,
1795-1895” plaas verkragters in die Kaapse Kolonie met in die wyer bestaande literatuur op verkragtings in die Britse Koloniale omgewing. Dit verskaf empiriese inligting op verkragting verslagdoening en oortuigings koers getrek van 'n sistematiese ondersoek van die hof se rekords
oor die tydperk van 'n honderd jaar. Die fokus van die tesis, geïnspireer deur die werke van Joanna Bourke en Chet Fransch, is: wie was hierdie verkragters, hoekom het hulle hierdie dade van verkragting gepleeg as ook watse rol van die staat in die regulering van verkragting in die Kaap? Dit is deur dié lense wat die verhandeling die interverbondenheid van verkragting, ras en klas in die koloniale omgewing van 19de eeu Suid-Afrika heroorweeg word.Master

“… wood carved by the knife of circumstance…”? : Cape rapists and rape in South Africa, c. 1910-1980
No full textThesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2016.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: “… wood carved by the knife of circumstance…”?: Cape Rapists and Rape in South Africa, c. 1910-1980, interrogates the notion that rapists are a product of an inherent nature and/or are nurtured by their environments to commit acts of rape. It also attempts to contextualise the changing definitions, motivations, justifications, and rationalisations given by theorists, politicians, jurists, the medical profession, society, communities, families, rape victims, and rapists. The central thesis questions, a slight adaptation from that of Joanna Bourke, are: “who were the rapists in the Cape?”, “why did they do what they did?” and “how particular are they to the Cape?” By contextualizing existing studies on rape with the accounts within the rich primary archives, Cape rapists are not merely located, defined, and explained, but are also contextualized within broader South African and global categories of rapists in what unfolds as a history of contested (and sometimes competing) notions of consensual sex, sexuality, and non-consensual sexual violence.DUTCH ABSTRACT: ‘Houtsnijwerk, het mes of de omstandigheden als gereedschap?’ Verkrachters in de Kaap en verkrachting in Zuid-Afrika, circa 1910-1980, onderzoekt niet alleen het idee dat verkrachters het product zijn van hun inherente natuur of gevormd zijn door omstandigheden, maar poogt de veranderende definities, motieven, rechtvaardigingen en rationalisaties, opgeworpen door theoretici, politici, juristen, de medische wereld, de samenleving, gemeenschappen, families, slachtoffers en daders in perspectief te plaatsen. De centrale vraagstelling, die licht afwijkt van de vraagstelling van Joanna Bourke, cirkelt rond de vragen: ‘Wie waren de verkrachters in de Kaap?’, ‘Waarom deden zij wat ze deden?’ en ‘Zijn deze gevallen exemplarisch voor de Kaap?’ Door bestaande studies over verkrachting te voorzien van een context, met behulp van beschrijvingen die terug te vinden zijn in archieven, kunnen verkrachters uit de Kaap niet alleen worden gelokaliseerd, gedefinieerd en geduid, maar tevens gecontextualiseerd binnen het bredere verband van Zuid-Afrikaanse en wereldwijde categorieën van verkrachters, in wat zich ontvouwt als een geschiedenis van betwiste (en soms rivaliserende) ideeën over consensuele seks, seksualiteit en non-consensuele seks.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: “…hout gekerf deur die mes van omstandigheid…”?: Kaapse Verkragters en Verkragting in Suid-Afrika, c. 1910-1980, ondersoek die idee dat verkragters of ’n produk is van ’n inherente of aangebore aard, en/of dat hulle deur hulle omgewing gevorm word om dade van verkragtig te pleeg. Dit probeer ook om die veranderende definisies, motiverings, regverdigings en rasionaliserings wat deur teoretici, politici, regsgeleerdes, die mediese professie, die samelewing, gemeenskappe, gesinne, verkragtingslagoffers en verkragters gegee word, te kontekstualiseer. Die sentrale vraagstuk is ’n effense aanpassing van dié van Joanna Bourke, “wie was die verkragters in die Kaap?”, “hoekom het hulle gedoen wat hulle gedoen het?” en “hoe eie is hulle aan die Kaap?” Deur die kontekstualisering van bestaande studies oor verkragting met verslae verkrygbaar in die ryk en omvattende primêre argiewe, word Kaapse verkragters nie slegs geplaas, gedefinieer, en verklaar nie, maar word hulle ook gekontekstualiseer binne breër Suid-Afrikaanse en globale kategorieë van verkragters in wat ontvou as ’n geskiedenis van omstrede (en soms mededingende) begrippe van konsensuele seks, seksualiteit, en nie-konsensuele seksuele geweld.Vrije-NRF Desmond Tutu Doctoral Scholarship ProgrammeDoctora
‘We Would Have No Name’: The Porosity of Locational and Racial Identities Amongst the ‘Coloured Communities’ of Stellenbosch, c. 1890–1960s
No full textStellenbosch en die Moslem-gemeenskappe, 1896-1966
No full textThesis (MA (History))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.This study intends to investigate a facet of the race relations of the town of Stellenbosch
within the context of state ideology and the reaction of the various local communities towards
these policies. Against various internal and external forces, certain alliances were formed but
these remained neither static nor constant. The external forces of particular concern within
this study are the role of state legislation, Municipal regulations and political activism
amongst the elite of the different racial groups. The manner in which the external forces both
mould and are moulded by identity and the fluid nature of identifying with certain groups to
achieve particular goals will also be investigated. This thesis uses the case study of the
Muslim Communities of Stellenbosch to explain the practice of Islam in Stellenbosch, the
way in which the religion co-existed within the structure of the town, how the religion
influenced and was influenced by context and time and how the practitioners of this particular
faith interacted not only amongst themselves but with other “citizens of Stellenbosch”.
Fundamental to these trends is the concept of “belonging”. Group formation, affiliation,
identity, shared heritage and history as well as racial classification – implemented and
propagated by both political discourse and communal discourse - is located within the
broader context of Cape history in order to discuss commonalities and contrasts that existed
between Muslims at the Cape and those in Stellenbosch.Master
