donker vlekke op rug
My 28-jarige, verstandelik gestremde, seun het plat, nie opgehewe, donker (soos swart koffie) vlekke op sy rug. Dit raak meer en groter. Hy is op medikasie vir hartversaking (miopatie/karditis) en het oor tydperk van 6 maande, heelwat gewig verloor. Moet ons bekommerd oor die vlekke wees en ' n dermatoloog besoek?
Dankie vir u aandag hieraan.
Ek stel voor dat jy jou huisdokter besoek, sodat 'n biopsie van die vlekke geneem kan word en 'n histologiese ontleding gedoen kan word. Sodoende sal daar vasgestel kan word wat die oorsaak is en hoe dit behandel kan word. Volume 20, Issue 1, 2006

Serpa Pinto (1846-1900) in Transvaal in 1879
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 1 –28 (2006)
Die Portugese ontdekkingsreisiger Serpa Pinto het in 1877-1879 van Angola tot in Natal gereis en onderweg Boere en sendelinge ontmoet en ook &apos;n tyd lank in Pretoria vertoef. In sy reisjoernaal het hy noukeurig aantekeninge van sy indrukke en belewenisse gemaak. Uit &apos;n kultuurhistoriese oogpunt is veral sy beskrywing van die karakter en lewenswyse van die Boere en die voorkoms van en sosiale lewe in Pretoria tydens die Britse anneksasietydperk (1877-1881) van besondere belang omdat hy as Portugees mense en gebeure anders ervaar het as tydgenootlike Engelse en Nederlandse besoekers. Hoewel sy reisbeskrywing, wat reeds in 1881 in Portugees en Engels gepubliseer is, belangrike historiese en kultuurhistoriese gegewens bevat, is dit nog selde deur Suid-Afrikaanse navorsers ontgin.
The Portuguese explorer, Serpa Pinto, undertook a journey from Angola to Natal in 1877-1879. On the way he met Boers and missionaries, and stayed for a while in Pretoria. During his travels he made careful notes in his travel-journal of his impressions and experiences. From a cultural historical point of view, what is of particular importance is his description of the character and lifestyle of the Boers, as well as the social life in Pretoria and how the town looked during the period of the British annexation (1877-1881). This is of special importance because, as a Portuguese, he would view and experience events and personalities somewhat differently from contemporary English and Dutch travellers. His travel-journal - published in Portuguese and English as early as 1881 - contains significant historical and cultural historical facts, but these have seldom been explored by South African researchers.
Searching for the São João survivor camp (1552) : predictive models as a possible solution
Authors: Elizabeth Van Tonder and Karen L. Harris
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 29 –56 (2006)
Continuous efforts by several researchers have been made to locate the wreck site of the Portuguese galleon, the São João, which came to grief off the south-east coast of South Africa in 1552. Very little effort, however, has been made to establish the location of the equally significant survivor camp. In this article a methodology using predictive models as a means to delimit the possible sites for the location of the survivor campsite is proposed. The predictive models are constructed by integrating both primary and secondary source material, as well as Portuguese shipwreck campsite characteristics, to identify three possible locations and thereby enhance more effective archaeological fieldwork. This may also have relevance for other similarly elusive archaeological sites.
Op soek na die kampterrein van die São João se oorlewendes (1552) : voorspellende modelle as &apos;n moontlike oplossing
Die voortdurende pogings van verskeie navorsers om die wrakterrein van die Portugese galjoen, die São João (wat in 1552 aan die suidoostelike kus van Suid-Afrika skipbreuk gely het) te vind, het nog niks opgelewer nie. Min moeite is egter tot dusver gedoen om die ewe belangrike terrein te vind waar die oorlewendes gekamp het. In hierdie artikel word voorgestel dat voorspellende modelle as metodologie gebruik word om terreine af te baken waar die kampplek moontlik kon wees. Voorspellende modelle word saamgestel deur primêre en sekondêre bronnemateriaal, asook deur die kenmerke van Portugese skeepswrakkampterreine te integreer, om drie moontlike terreine te identifiseer. Op dié wyse word doeltreffende argeologiese veldwerk verseker. Hierdie metodologie mag ook vir die opsporing van ander ewe ontwykende argeologiese terreine wees van betekenis.
The prison life of Natal Afrikaner rebels during the Anglo-Boer War
Authors: Johan Wassermann and Fransjohan Pretorius
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 57 –77 (2006)
During the Anglo-Boer War a large number of Natal Afrikaner men were imprisoned, initially as suspected rebels, but in time as convicts, found guilty of high treason and / or theft. In this article the prison experiences of the Natal Afrikaner rebels are investigated. Aspects that are illuminated include general living conditions, food, the utilisation of free time and contact with the outside world. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the relationships between the prisoners, as well as with the authorities.
Die tronklewe van Natalse Afrikanerebelle tydens die Anglo- Boereoorlog
Tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog het groot getalle Natalse Afrikanermans in die tronk beland, aanvanklik as verdagte rebelle, maar later as veroordeeldes, skuldig aan hoogverraad en / of diefstal. In hierdie artikel word die belewenisse van die Natalse Afrikanerrebelle in die tronk ondersoek. Aspekte wat onder die soeklig kom, sluit onder andere in algemene lewenstoestande, kos, vrytetydsbesteding en kontak met die buitewêreld. Daar word verder klem gelê op die verhoudings tussen die veroordeeldes onderling asook met die owerheid.
Ndebele place names and settlement in Pretoria
Author C.J. Van Vuuren
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 78 –99 (2006)
In this article it is argued that the proposed name change of Pretoria to Tshwane is exclusionary and insensitive to the oral tradition inventories of other pre-colonial communities in the region. One such community is the Manala-Ndebele. It is argued that "Tshwane" as a person or place name in the oral tradition has only vague representation, while a name such as "Musi" of the Ndebele and the settlement "KwaMnyamana" feature more frequently in oral tradition. A particular invented tradition which refers to the KwaMnyamana site is also discussed. The article also investigates the use of an arithmetic dating system whereby Ndebele archaeological sites around Pretoria can be dated. Although this mechanism is essentially arbitrary, it has proved invaluable to archaeologists, anthropologists and historians. Archaeological sites towards the east of Pretoria which have always been known in Manala oral tradition, are listed and discussed in terms of chronology in settlement history, possible meaning of names, and linked to rulers in the royal house of the Manala. In addition these sites are linked to existing farm names and familiar landmarks in the east of Pretoria. The bulk of this pre-colonial land of the Manala falls within the Pienaars river drainage basin. It is concluded that potentially all oral traditions stand to be abused for present political ends.
Ndebele plekname en vestiging in Pretoria
In hierdie artikel word geargumenteer dat die voorgestelde naamsverandering van Pretoria na Tshwane uitsluitend en onsensitief is omdat dit die mondelinge oorleweringsinventarisse van ander prekoloniale gemeenskappe in die streek misken. Een sodanige gemeenskap is die Manala-Ndebele. Daar word aangevoer dat die bestaan van die name Tshwane as &apos;n persoons- of pleknaam in die mondelinge oorleweringe slegs vae verteenwoordiging geniet, maar dat &apos;n naam soos Musi van die Ndebele, asook die vestigingsterrien KwaMnyamana, dikwels in die mondelinge oorlewering voorkom. &apos;n Spesifieke innoverende tradisie wat betrekking het op die KwaMnyamana terrein word ook bespreek. Die artikel ondersoek ook die aanwending van &apos;n rekenkundige dateringstelsel waarmee Ndebele argeologiese terreine in die omgewing van Pretoria gedateer kan word. Hoewel hierdie meganisme essensieel arbitrêr van aard is, is dit &apos;n bewysbare aanwins vir argeoloë, antropoloë en historici. Argeologiese terreine ten ooste van Pretoria wat deurgaans bekend was in Manala mondelinge oorleweringe, word gelys en bespreek in terme van kronologie van vestigingsgeskiedenis, moontlike betekenis van name, en tegelyk geskakel met regeerders in die koningshuis van die Manala. Daarbenewens word hierdie terreine geskakel met bestaande plaasname asook alombekende bakens in die ooste van Pretoria. Die groter geheel van hierdie pre-koloniale grondgebied van die Manala is geleë binne die Pienaarsrivier dreineringskom. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat alle mondelinge oorleweringe potensieel blootgestel word aan misbruik vir politieke doeleindes.
The origin and meaning of the place name Tshwane
Author L.J. Louwrens
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 100 –124 (2006)
This article attempts to clarify a number of controversial issues around the historical origin and etymology of the place name Tshwane. Two current popular views namely that (a) the city of Pretoria should be renamed Tshwane after one of the sons of the legendary Ndebele ruler Musi; and (b) that Tshwane means "we are the same" are both rejected due to the lack of supporting evidence. It is concluded that the name Tshwane was originally given to the Apies River because of the ritual interconnectedness of two things which played a pivotal role in an ageold rain-making ceremony, namely a black cow (tshwana), on the one hand, and water drawn for ritual purposes from the said river, on the other. It is argued, furthermore, that originally the place Tshwane was not of much historical significance and that it was only after the establishment of the city of Pretoria in 1855 that the region gained prominence which led to the transferral of the name of the Apies River to the city itself.
Die oorsprong en betekenis van die pleknaam Tshwane
Dié artikel poog om verskeie omstrede aspekte rondom die ontstaan en etimologie van die pleknaam Tshwane op te klaar. Twee populêre sienings naamlik (a) dat Pretoria as Tshwane hernoem moet word ter nagedagtenis van een van die legendariese Ndebeleleier Musi se seuns; en (b) dat Tshwane beteken "ons is eenders / dieselfde" word albei op grond van &apos;n gebrek aan ondersteunende getuienis verwerp. Daar word bevind dat die naam Tshwane oorspronklik aan die Apiesrivier gegee is as gevolg van die onderlinge verbondenheid wat daar tydens &apos;n ou reënmaakseremonie bestaan het tussen &apos;n swart koei (tshwana) en rituele water uit hierdie rivier bestaan het. Voorts word argumente aangevoer dat Tshwane histories oënskynlik nie &apos;n buitengewoon prominente plek was nie, en dat hierdie naam na die stigting van Pretoria in 1855 mettertyd gepopulariseer is toe dit van die Apiesrivier af op die stad self oorgedra is.
Die VOC as werkgewer met spesiale verwysing na Vlaamse immigrante aan die Kaap 1652 - 1662
Author Jan C. Visagie
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 125 –142 (2006)
In hierdie studie word probeer om inligting en antwoorde te verskaf oor die stand van die Nederlandse skeepvaart in die sewentiende eeu; die personeelbehoeftes van die Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) in hierdie jare; emigrasie uit die Suidelike Nederlande; die werwing van seemanne en hoe dit gebeur het dat ook Vlaminge by die VOC aangesluit het; die identifisering van Vlaminge in die betrokke Kaapse argiewe en watter getalle ter sprake is. Navorsing dui aan dat onder die Nederlanders in die eerste dekade (1652-1662) en die latere "Franse Hugenote" aan die Kaap &apos;n beduidende persentasie Vlaminge teenwoordig was.
The VOC as employer with specific mention of Flemish immigrants to the Cape 1652 - 1662
This study is an attempt to cast light on, among others, the state of Dutch shipping in the seventeenth century; the personnel needs of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in this period; emigration from the Southern Netherlands; the recruitment of seamen and the reasons of Flemings to join the VOC; the identification of Flemings in the relevant Cape archives and the numbers they represented. Research findings suggest that there was a significant percentage of Flemings among the Dutch at the Cape in the first decade of colonisation (1652 - 1662) and among the later "French Huguenots".
Die optrede, leefwyse en lotgevalle van die VOC-trompetters en -tromspelers aan die Kaap van 1652 tot c.1700

Amptelike trompetters en tromspelers was van die vroegste VOC-jare af deel van die Kaapse garnisoen. Verskeie ander nie-amptelike trompetters en tromspelers, onder andere van besoekende skepe, en mense wat die trompet of tamboer kon bespeel, maar wat hulle in ander hoedanighede aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop bevind het, het ook onder die Kaapse bevolking voorgekom. Die amptelike tromspelers se militêre pligte was duidelik gestruktureer, maar soms moes hulle ongewone take verrig, soos om hard op die tromme te slaan om skepe teen die teenwoordigheid van ander skepe in mistige weer te waarsku. Die trompetters het hoofsaaklik &apos;n seremoniële rol gehad, en hulle pligte is meestal in noue samehang met die aktiwiteite van die kommandeur gestaan. So het hulle sy aankoms of vertrek aangekondig en hom op sy reise vergesel. Enkele verwysings na informele trompetspel van volksmelodieë kom ook voor. Met betrekking tot die musikante se leefwyse en lotgevalle word aangedui dat party as mense met &apos;n goeie karakter beskryf word, wat werk van gehalte verrig het. Ander word vermeld vanweë hulle misstappe en hulle losbandige lewe met dronkenskap, dobbelary en diefstal. Onder die musikante was selfs moordenaars wat tereggestel is.
The performance, way of living and misfortunes of the trumpeters and drummers of the United East India Company at the Cape from 1652 to c. 1700
Official trumpeters and drummers formed part of the Cape garrison since the early years of the UEIC. Several non-official trumpeters and drummers, who, for example, came from visiting ships, and people from other professions who were able to play the trumpet or drums, were also found amongst the inhabitants at the Cape of Good Hope. The military duties of the official drummers were clearly structured, but sometimes they had to fulfill extraordinary duties, such as playing very loudly on the drums in order to warn ships of the presence of other ships during misty weather conditions. The trumpeters had mainly ceremonial duties, mostly in connection with the commander. They, inter alia, announced his arrival or his departure, and accompanied him on his journeys. Some references to informal trumpet-playing do also occur. Concerning the musicians&apos; way of living and their misfortunes, it is pointed out that some musicians were described as persons of good character, who performed their duties faithfully. Others, however, were mentioned due to their misdeeds and their dissolute life, including drunkenness, gambling and stealing. Among them were even murderers who were eventually executed.
The toyi-toyi protest culture in the 1980s : an investigation into its liberating and unifying powers

Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 163 –179 (2006)
The article highlights the role played by toyi-toyi during the 1980s in the liberation process of South Africa. The 1980s were a decade of turmoil in South Africa whereby the oppressed people were mobilized against the apartheid government. The article therefore explains the meaning of the term toyi-toyi and its origins in order for one to understand its impact in the 1980s. A few examples of the toyi-toyi songs are given.
Die Toyi-Toyi proteskultuur in die 1980&apos;s : ondersoek na die bevrydende en verenigende rol daarvan.
Die artikel beklemtoon die rol wat deur die toyi-toyi gedurende die tagtigerjare van die vorige eeu in die onafhanklikheidstryd van Suid-Afrika gespeel is. Die tagtigerjare was veral &apos;n dekade van politieke skommelinge in Suid-Afrika, &apos;n tydperk van tien jaar waartydens die onderdruktes teen die apartheidsregering gemobiliseer het. Die artikel sal dus sowel die betekenis as die oorsprong van die term toyi-toyi bespreek in &apos;n poging om die impak daarvan in die genoemde tydperk te verduidelik. Enkele voorbeelde van toyi-toyi-liedere word in die artikel gegee.

"Valse opgaven" : Dutch students who allegedly studied at the Conservatorium of Music in Amsterdam (1884-1922), and later came to South Africa
Source: South African Journal of Cultural History 20, pp 201 –224 (2006)
Many, but not all, of the articles on the lives of European musicians who came to South Africa contain basic factual mistakes in Malan&apos;s South African Music Encyclopedia (SAME: 1979, 1982, 1984, 1986). These "improvements" on the facts about their studies were most probably effected in order to give them a better chance of obtaining a professional position. But Pierre and Angelique de Beer were really Dutch graduates from the Music Conservatorium of Amsterdam. Willem Gerke also emigrated to South Africa, but clearly did not study at the Conservatorium as suggested in SAME. Neither did Jan Luyt Sr, his wife Johanna Luyt (née Plomp), Dirk Meerkotter nor Willem van Warmelo. Dirk Balfoort spent about ten years of his early life in Pretoria and later obtained the diploma in violin playing of the Conservatorium. Frits Schuurman did obtain his diploma, but there is no proof that he received it with distinction. Although Ernest Mulder did not come to South Africa to teach, he had a strong relationship with Afrikaans culture and set some Afrikaans poems to music. With their excellent background, these Dutch musicians could contribute greatly to South Africa&apos;s budding cultural life.
"Valse opgaven" : Nederlandse studente wat na bewering aan die Musiekkonservatorium in Amsterdam (1884-1922) studeer het, en later na Suid-Afrika toe gekom het
Baie (maar nie alle nie) artikels oor die lewens van Europese musici wat na Suid-Afrika toe gekom het, bevat basiese feitefoute in Malan se South African Music Encyclopedia (SAME: 1979, 1982, 1984, 1986). Hierdie "verbetering" van die feite oor hulle studie is heel moontlik aangebring met die doel om hulle &apos;n beter kans te gee om &apos;n professionele betrekking te bekom. Pierre en Angelique de Beer was nogtans werklik Nederlandse graduandi van die Musiekkonservatorium van Amsterdam. Willem Gerke het ook na Suid-Afrika geëmigreer, maar het duidelik nie by die Conservatorium studeer soos dit deur SAME gestel is nie. So ook Jan Luyt sr., sy vrou Johanna Luyt (née Plomp), Dirk Meerkotter en Willem van Warmelo. Dirk Balfoort het ongeveer tien jaar van sy vroeë lewe in Pretoria deurgebring en later die diploma in vioolspel aan die Conservatorium verwerf. Frits Schuurman het wel &apos;n diploma behaal, maar geen bewys bestaan dat hy dit met onderskeiding verwerf het nie. Hoewel Ernest Mulder nie na Suid-Afrika gekom het om les te gee nie, het hy &apos;n sterk verbintenis met die Afrikaanse kultuur gehad. Hy het &apos;n aantal Afrikaanse gedigte getoonset. Deur die uitgebreide agtergrond wat hulle saamgebring het, het hierdie Nederlandse musici grootliks tot die ontwikkelende kulturele lewe in Suid-Afrika bygedra.

This is a beautiful book, with a cover built around a painting (I wonder who the artist is) of a couple dancing intimately, with the dark colours in the background of the painting dripping down and spilling over the image of the woman, as if to pull her deeper into the canvas - the much darker figure of the man she is embracing apparently already being there.
