Clarendon High School for Girls

Clarendon High School for Girls is a private English medium high school for girls situated in the suburb of Selborne of KuGompo City in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It was founded in 1903 as East London Girls' High School; the brother school is Selborne College. It is one of the oldest schools for girls in South Africa. History In 1872, Panmure Public School, a co-educational school, was founded by the German immigrant, Heinrich Muller. The boys' section became Selborne College in 1907, whereas the girls' section moved to Park Avenue in 1886 before becoming a separate school for girls from grades 1 to 10 in 1903. It was originally between Muir Street and Oxford Street, on the site currently occupied by Grens Primary but having then just been vacated by an Uitlander Refugee camp. In 1905, a new uniform was introduced, consisting of a navy gym with green and white colours on the blazers and hats. A school hostel was also established that year. In 1937, the upper grades were moved to new premises on the corner of Connaught Avenue and Oxford Street, and the lower grades remained as a separate school. The name "Clarendon" was given to both schools in 1957, after the former Governor-General of South Africa and his wife, the Lord and Lady Clarendon. In 1959, a "Clarendon green" uniform was introduced. In 1964 the school hostel, Connaught House, was destroyed by fire. The new hostel was opened in 1967. The school adopted a non-racial admissions policy in 1991. Houses Miss Donald, headmistress from 1925 to 1945, introduced the prefect system in 1933 and in 1934 appointed the first headgirl, Betty Chew, who was later a teacher at the school and coached the first hockey team until the 1980s. She also created the houses, and named them after Marjorie Ketchen (headmistress from 1912 to 1925), Miss Gittins who became Mrs Booty, and Mrs Hunter, a teacher. These ladies donated the inter-house shield which is still competed for. Sport Sports played at the school are: Athletics Chess Cross country Cycling Equestrian Hockey Netball Rowing Soccer Squash Swimming Table tennis Tennis Water polo Notable alumnae Joan Harrison (Class of 1953), retired South African swimmer who won the 100 m backstroke event at the 1952 Olympics Marcelle Keet, waterpolo, hockey Candice Forword, hockey Lana Marks, fashion designer and American ambassador to South Africa Soso Rungqu (Class of 2001), South African actress & singer.

Turó de la Constitució

El Turó de la Constitució de Johannesburg és la seu de la Cort Constitucional de Sud-àfrica, màxima institució per a la protecció dels drets i llibertats del país. Ubicat sobre l'antic complex penitenciari d'Old Fort, conegut també com a Number Four, fou un històric espai de repressió per on passaren milers de ciutadans abans de la instauració de la democràcia el 1994. Un gran nombre d'activistes i dirigents polítics, des de Mahatma Gandhi fins a Nelson Mandela, patiren la manca de llibertat en aquest espai. És també una institució cultural amb exposicions permanents i itinerants, amb un servei pedagògic adreçat al públic escolar i a la ciutadania en general. Al Turó de la Constitució s'organitzen també un gran nombre d'actes i esdeveniments amb l'objectiu de fomentar els drets humans i els valors democràtics. És membre de la Coalició Internacional d'Espais de Consciència. Història Sobre un promontori al nord de Johannesburg, Old Fort va ser construït el 1893 com a presó d'alta seguretat. Amb el temps va ser utilitzat com a fort militar i com a espai de repressió, reclusió i abús. Gairebé tots els dirigents polítics importants de la història de Sud-àfrica, així com molts ciutadans atrapats per la xarxa de repressió colonial, l'apartheid i el racisme, van ser empresonats en els edificis d'Old Fort. Els seus murs foren testimoni d'un sistema polític injust, d'una institució penal brutal, del terrorisme d'Estat i la resistència de generacions de presos. El 1995 els jutges de Sud-àfrica varen triar el complex penitenciari com a seu del nou Tribunal Constitucional. Referències

Cresta Shopping Centre

Cresta Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Randburg, South Africa. It is located on the border of Northcliff and Cresta. It has gone through multiple extensions and refurbishments. The mall is owned by Pareto, a unit of the Public Investment Corporation. The original design of the shopping centre had a model train which would run through the centre of the shopping centre stopping at various places around the inner mall to allow passengers off. The train would then come out one of the entrances and around a loop. Turning the train around inside the centre was done on a giant turntable, which became more popular to watch than the train itself. The train was removed in approximately 1992. Cresta was built in 1977. The first refurbishment finished in 1987 for the tenth anniversary adding the section from present day Showbiz ending just past Edgars. It was during this refurbishment that the train was added with the outside fun park with castle and pirate ship with water cannons. The transformation to family shopping mall is probably the recipe for its success. In 1990 the second refurbishment was completed bridging the road and adding an ice skating rink. The ice skating rink was subsequently changed into a cinema complex. In 2002 more additions were added including a third floor near CNA, an extension and parking lot at Stuttafords where the original Checkers stood, and an extension past the cinemas including a theatre and restaurant complex. Further remodeling and expansion was announced in 2012 and 2013. References External links Official site
Leeuwenhof

Leeuwenhof is an estate in the Gardens area of Cape Town, South Africa. It is the official residence of the Premier of the Western Cape. Leeuwenhof was originally a farmhouse dating to the time of the Dutch East India Company's rule of Cape Town. It includes a Slave Quarters which has been renovated and used to house an exhibition about slavery in Cape Town. It was declared a national heritage site on 15 December 1966. History When the mansion was built and who built it is not precisely known, but it was owned by 15 proprietors, all prosperous, before it was purchased by the provincial government. On 22 October 1693, Governor Simon van der Stel granted the 12 ha near Table Mountain as a homestead to the businessman Guillaume Heems. After just 2.5 years, the farm was sold to the Company's Garden botanist, surveyor, and gardener Henrik Bernard Oldenland. Upon his death, his widow sold it to the Fiscal Joan Blesius, who probably built the first house on the farm. In 1764, Johan Bräsler, originally from Copenhagen, purchased the farm. He built the current mansion from 1764 to 1788, planting native trees and growing fruits and vegetables there. Capt. Johannes Zorn owned it from 1799 to 1836. He expanded the farm by annexing adjacent land until it reached 79 ha, becoming a successful farmer who owned dozens of slaves and planted large vineyards. In 1809, Zorn was appointed magistrate. From 1841 to 1847, Sir Christoffel Brand, the first Speaker of the Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope and father of President of the Orange Free State Johannes Brand, owned Leeuwenhof. Next, from 1847 to 1881, Petrus Johannes Kotzé owned the estate. He was twice Mayor of Cape Town and a member of the Cape Parliament himself in 1859. His son John Gilbert Kotzé, later Chief Justice of the South African Republic and Appeals Court Justice of the Union of South Africa, was born here. In the time of the Kotzés, the farm was already being encroached on by urban sprawl. The fountain there was expropriated by the City of Cape Town to supply water. In 1881, the millionaires Sammy Marks and Isaac Lewis purchased the estate. Shortly afterwards, Lewis (a mining magnate) became the sole owner of the property, now down to 2 ha around the mansion, and proceeded to refurbish and renovate the house with antique furniture. On 21 December 1936, the Cape Province Administration (Afrikaans: Kaapse Provinsiale Administrasie (KPA) purchased the house as the official residence of the Administrator of Cape Province. The KPA repurchased the adjoining land from the historic estate.
