  • Description: From Preface: South African frontiers periodically provided the backdrop for conflict between Blacks and Whites over land, and, in this respect, Griqualand West proved no exception. The arrival of the trekboers in the 1830s heralded the beginning of the land problem in Griqualand West, and the situation worsened with the discovery of diamonds and the subsequent influx of land-hungry Whites. By the 1870s the stage was then set for a major clash between Blacks and Whites with land as the central focus. The Griqualand West Administration tried to rectify this situation in 1875 by setting up a Land Court under Judge Andries Stockenström. Stockenström's judgment was highly controversial, as many Griqua and Blacks lost land, although no land which had been claimed by a Griqua or Black was granted to a White. As Stockenström had not resolved the land problem, the Griqualand West authorities brought in Captain Charles Warren to settle the matter of land ownership in the Province. The Warren Report was considered by all concerned to be fair, but it did not prevent the outbreak of hostilities in 1878. The two main foci of this study are, then, land ownership and the Rebellion and the link, if any, between them. The main sources for the work have been the Griqualand West archive in the Cape Archives, for the period 1872-1880, and various newspapers. The Cape and Imperial Blue Books were useful sources, especially on the military history of the rebellion. Interviews conducted in Bophuthatswana and Griqualand West clarified many obscure points and raised others, most of which have been answered in this work. A considerable number of contemporary published works were also consulted, but, although most mentioned the land problem and the Rebellion, few contained anything worthy of mention, especially with regard to the military history of the Rebellion. , KMBT_363 , Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

The study of the metabolism of phenylbutazone (4-butyl-1,2 -diphenylpyrazolidine - 3,5 - dione) in rats

  • Description: In this study the metabolism of the anti-arthritic drug, phenylbutazone, was investigated in female Wistar rats, and the results compared with those of other workers in this field. Two interrelated projects were undertaken. The first covered the pattern of excretion, isolation and characterisation of the metabolites and decomposition products of phenylbutazone in rats dosed post-orally with the drug. It was found that the major route of excretion was via the urine and over 50% of the administered dose was excreted in the first 24 hours by this route. A small percentage of the dose was excreted in the faeces. The following compounds were identified using chromatographic and autoradiographic techniques: p-Hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone γ-Hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone in both its molecular forms (ring lactone and straight chain hydroxyl) 4-Hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone p-γ-Dihydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone p-4-Dihydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone Hydrolysable conjugates (possibly glucuronides) Water soluble non-hydrolysable conjugates. The second project dealt with the quantitation of the water insoluble compounds isolated in the initial work. Using a unique technique, combining inverse isotope dilution assay and spectrophotometric analysis, it was found that the major metabolite was the γ-hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone, present in both its molecular forms. Oxyphenbutazone was a minor metabolite and the p-γ-dihydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone was present only in very low concentration. These results did not conform with those of previous workers in this field who reported the γ-hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone, in one molecular form only, as the major metabolite and the dihydroxy derivative as the second metabolite with a higher concentration in the urine than oxyphenbutazone. This disparity could be due to the fact that these workers took no account of the presence of the two molecular forms of the γ-hydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone with their different polarities and different Rf values. The present study showed that the straight chain hydroxyl isomer was probably mistakenly identified as the p-γ-dihydroxy derivative of phenylbutazone. This theory is supported by the fact that the percentage dose recovered by the previous workers of the γ-hydroxy and p-γ-dihydroxy derivatives together equalled the percentage dose recovered in this study of the two molecular forms of the γ-hydroxy derivative. , KMBT_363 , Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

The war of Ngcayecibi, 1877-8

  • Description: This work makes no pretence at being a comprehensive account of the War of Ngcayecibi and its context in Cape and Imperial History. It omits all but passing reference to Imperial Policy, Frere's Federation plans, the Constitutional Crisis and the dismissal of the Molteno Ministry, all of which have been more than adequately covered elsewhere. Rather it concentrates on a study of the war in terms of black/white relations. The responses of the blacks to white pressures on their land and traditional society are examined, particularly those of Sarhili and the Gcaleka, for Sarhili, the gentlemanly but tragic Paramount Chief of the Xhosa, is the central figure in the canvas of black Ciskeian and Transkeian leaders of the time, and the War of Ngcayecibi is very much a Xhosa war. I have tried to avoid a conventional account of the military operations of the war, sketching only the broad outlines of military operations and concentrating on the strategies adopted by black and white forces, and the reasons for which various black chiefdoms or segments thereof participated in the war. Orthography. The matter of orthography is a tricky one, for Xhosa orthography has been recently overhauled and is not yet finalised. I have attempted with the aid of Mr Sidney Zotwana of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University to adopt the most acceptable forms of Xhosa names. I have dropped the use of all prefixes since I felt their use would have been pedantic in what, after a11, is an English language thesis and since there is no chance of confusion between historical figures like Gcaleka and the amaGcaleka people. Sources. The documents printed in Cape an~ Imperial Blue-Books, especially the Cape Blue-Books, on Native Affairs for the years 1874-1884, and the correspondence in the Native Affairs Archive in the Government Archives in Cape Town, proved to be the most valuable official and semi-official sources. The Merriman and Molteno Papers in the South African Library in Cape Town were the most useful private papers consulted, though odd items in the Cory Library, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, proved of use. The rash of memoirs published after the war were, with exceptions, singularly unilluminating. Most prominent amongst the exceptions was West W. Fynn: The'77 War ••• (East London, 1911), an account of the war written by the Clerk of the Resident to Sarhili. Although Fynn has a grudge against treatment he received from the Colonial Government at the time, and is not above dramatising his role, he was in an unparalle11ed position to observe the events leading up to the war and records much valuable information. The voluminous notebooks in Cory Library of the late Dr A.W. Burton, an amateur Border historian who had researched the war, were interesting but difficult to use because of an almost total lack of footnoting or reference to sources. J.R. Soga's two works, The South Eastern Bantu (Johannesburg, 1930) and The Ama-Xosa: Life and Customs (Lovedale, 1931) are well known and proved useful but, as will be seen, have to be treated with care. Of more modern works, J. Peires: "A History of the Xhosa c.1700-1835" if (unp. M.A. thesis, Rhodes University, 1976) proved invaluable as a background to Xhosa society and earlier Xhosa history. The works of Christopher Saunders, who has written much on topics related to the war, were indispensable. C.J. Schoeman: "Die Negende Grensbotsing" (unp. M.A. thesis, University of Port Elizabeth, 1976), the one general study of the war thus far written, covers military operations at great length and is a work very much in the mould of traditional Afrikaner Frontier Historiography.
