THE BOOK AWARD FOR 2013 IS TO BE AWARDED TO:

Sonja Loots, School of Languages and Literatures, (Afrikaans Division) for: Sirkusboere

Sirkusboere tells the story, based on astounding fact, of a group of traumatized, maimed and penniless veterans of the South African War (1899 – 1902) who were recruited in the aftermath of the war by legendary circus owner Frank Fillis to participate in a bizarre military spectacle at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. Known as the Boer War Circus, it became one of the most popular events at the Fair.

The dazzling cast of characters include the flamboyant but feckless general Ben Viljoen, locked in bitter conflict with a mean-spirited, tight-fisted and vainglorious general Piet Cronjé. Cronjé’s forlorn black agterryer Fenyang Mokeyane follows him everywhere and is watched by a brooding, heart-broken Geronimo, who is being exhibited as a sideshow in the shadow of the Ferris wheel. The meticulously researched Sirkusboere is a story about trauma, diaspora, showbiz, freakery, racial discrimination, loss, displacement, rollercoasters and sport – a wild bronco ride in history’s rodeo.

THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD

The University Creative Works Award recognises the production of outstanding and/or influential creative works (art works, performances, productions, compositions, architectural design) that make a scholarly contribution.

Lucas Johannes van der Schijff“Community Punching Bags” or “CPBs” project

The “Community Punching Bags” or “CPBs” project¬ is an artwork by Johann van der Schijff, in collaboration with art teachers and high school learners from and around Cape Town. The exhibition presents a satirical commentary on South Africa’s obsession with racial classification and underlying xenophobia. Inspired by artwork in which the community played a central part in its realisation, this project aims to show that issues often not spoken about openly – such as those that deal with violence, ‘the other’, stereotyping, discrimination, racism, xenophobia and human rights – can be addressed in a collaborative and creative way through the making of art.

The CPBs was exhibited at the Iziko South African National Gallery Annexe in Cape Town from May to June 2012 and at the KZNSA Gallery in Durban during July 2012. The collaborating art teachers and Grade 10 learners were from Livingstone High School (Claremont), Camps Bay High, Heideveld Senior Secondary School, Fish Hoek High, and Isilimela High School (Langa). The project and accompanying exhibitions were well received and as a result the CPBs project is currently being replicated in Kwazulu-Natal with a new set of workshops and participating urban and rural schools around Durban.

The initial overall project consisted of five phases: Involving high school art teachers from the greater Cape Town area, Phase 1 consisted of Saturday morning workshop sessions (in 2011) to develop cut-out designs/collages with the art teachers; In Phase 2 of the project, local leather artisans crafted the cut-out designs/collages into actual punching bags; Phases 3 and 4 replicate Phases 1 and 2, but with the teachers passing their CPBs workshop skills to the schoolchildren (in 2011 and 2012). Phase 5 was a major exhibition that consisted of the drawings, paper cut-outs/collages and punch bag sculptures that emanated from the workshops.

Van der Schijff’s work and iconography draws on art that relies on viewer participation, chance and the absurd. The project – at its core involving participation from both the makers and the viewers – is therefore an unpredictable process open to chance and serendipity that reveals itself as it unfolds. It is neither a scientific nor a pedagogical exercise, but is a conceptual artwork – it does not aim to provide definite answers to the questions it poses, but remains open to interpretation.

DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

In Commercial Law:Ashimizo Afadameh-adeyemiThesis Title: Securing compliance with African economic integration treaties

Ashimizo Afadameh-adeyemi has an LLB from Lagos State University, Nigeria and an LLM in International Law from UCT. During his time at UCT, he has been a pioneer member of the Law Faculty Postgraduate Students Council. He is the Managing Editor of the SADC Law Journal and a partner in a law firm in Nigeria. Ashimizo Afadameh-adeyemi’s thesis examines how compliance with African economic integration treaties can be secured by taking into account the legal and non-legal factors that may impact on the ability of states to comply with their integration obligations. The thesis argues that the failure of African states to comply with their integration obligations is not necessarily a function of deliberate and blatant disobedience towards the norms of economic integration. Rather, there are other systemic challenges which impede the ability of African states to comply with their obligations. To resolves these challenges and to ensure compliance, the thesis suggests, African states need continuously to engage in a discursive process wherein the norms of economic integration are constantly iterated and given authoritative interpretation.

Emma Megan FergusThesis Title: From Sidumo to Dunsmuir: the test for review of CCMA arbitration awards

Emma Fergus obtained a BPsych from Stellenbosch University in 2003 and an LLB from UCT in 2006. She has since practised as an attorney at Bowman Gilfillan and lectured various subjects at UCT, including labour law, employee relations and business law. She has recently been appointed to a permanent lectureship in UCT’s Department of Commercial Law. Emma Fergus’s thesis seeks to identify the constraints on, and to define the current test for review of Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) arbitration awards; and to develop a clear, practical and reliable

replacement. The need to do so arises from reviewing courts’ inconsistent attitudes to scrutinising CCMA awards. The cause of the confusion is the ostensible discord between the Constitutional rights to fair labour practices and just administrative action. To preserve legal certainty, a clear and predictable approach to review is crucial. In developing such a test, the thesis canvasses both South African and Canadian principles of judicial review in the labour sphere. Combining elements of each, it proposes a more structured and focused test for review than that which pertains presently. Arguably, this test is both consistent with the Sidumo decision and strikes a suitable balance between the aforementioned rights.

Tracy Lee GutuzaThesis Title: An analysis of the methods used in the South African domestic legislation and in double taxation treaties entered into by South Africa for the elimination of international double taxation

Tracy Gutuza has a UCT BSocSc, a Unisa BA (Honours), a UCT LLB, and two LLM degrees (Unisa and University College, London). She worked as a legal adviser before joining UCT in 2001 and becoming a senior lecturer in 2010. Tracy Gutuza’s thesis analyses the methods used to eliminate international double taxation through the lens of the tax policy principles of equity and neutrality in three identifiable periods: prior to democracy, 1994 to 2000, and post 2000. Her analysis shows an undermining in the consistency of these policy principles by amendments to the Income Tax Act and the use of anti-avoidance provisions to prevent loss to the South African fiscus resulting from taxpayers use of tax planning opportunities. Indicating that credit methods of relief are reflected in both the Income Tax Act and double taxation agreements, she shows that the application and quantification of such relief is inconsistent. Her thesis contributes to literature exploring the policy principles equity and neutrality as applied in the methods used for relieving international double taxation in recently opened and developing economy contexts. Through considering the effect of policy on the

50 51

taxation of cross-border income flows, as it pertains to relief from international double taxation, Gutuza’s thesis provides a theoretical basis for future restructuring of South Africa’s and other developing African countries’ income tax systems. It does so by proposing that equity and neutrality should be the over-arching principles in any cross border tax restructuring process aimed at eliminating double taxation.

DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

In English Language and Literature:*Emma Vivian O’ShaughnessyThesis Title: ‘History lives on these streets’ Reading place and urban disorder in three post-apartheid Johannesburg novels

Emma O’Shaughnessy first came to UCT in 1998, and has shared her time between the English Department and the Centre for African Studies. She is the editor of Postamble – a UCT academic student journal – and is a founding organizer of an annual postgraduate conference in the Humanities. From 2010 to 2012, Emma headed Equal Education’s English literature and language department. She is grateful that her father, Brian O’Shaughnessy, has always inspired her love of words and teaching. Emma O’Shaughnessy’s thesis examines three South African novels set in post-apartheid Johannesburg. She explores the ways in which that city’s history informs the present. Through the memories and spatial perceptions of the characters in Marlene van Niekerk’s Triomf, Ivan Vladislavić’s The Exploded View, and Kgebetli Moele’s Room 207, she shows how the city’s past interrupts and redefines the experience of the present in unsettling ways. Her thesis analyses different aspects

of the interlocking processes of past and present: in domestic places, in the patterns of human movement through public space, and in the active appropriation of defensive urban identities. The characters and the city are thus intertwined in a reflexive cycle of affect. O’Shaughnessy’s thesis ultimately makes a plea for an ethical and critical engagement with the painful stories of the past that help us to make sense of the present.

Sarah Jane WarnerThesis Title: Ruth Miller and the poetics of literary maternity

Sarah Warner holds BA and BA(Hons) degrees from the University of the Witwatersrand. Her PhD registration follows an upgrade from a MA degree registration which began in 1999. Since 2005 she has taught English and History at St Katharine’s School in Johannesburg. She was appointed head of senior primary and deputy headmistress in 2011. Sarah Warner’s thesis shows how Ruth Miller’s poetry and a theory on the maternal function of literature reinterpret each other. To do that it draws on unpublished correspondence in the Miller archive housed at Grahamstown’s English Literary Museum; and it includes a consideration of Miller’s literary legacy, of critical literature describing her oeuvre and of the issues of continuity and authority that arise in the context of literary publication. The psychoanalytic and post-structuralist theoretical orientation of the thesis emphasises Melanie Klein’s work on the mother-child relation – her matricentric but non-idyllic version of psychic development. Ms Warner traces those interests through Julia Kristeva’s and Jacqueline Rose’s readings of Klein’s work and develops an approach informed by a model of literary maternity defined in terms of a relation between the earliest parent and the child – referred to in psychoanalytic terms as the preoedipal relation.

In Gender Studies:Juliet Njeri MuasyaThesis Title: Exploring discourses of access and sexual harassment within higher education: student perceptions of the institutional culture of the University of Nairobi, Kenya

Juliet Njeri Muasya is a member of faculty in the School of Education, University of Nairobi. Her research interests are in gender, sexuality, and the politics of institutional culture within higher education. She completed her doctoral research as a USHEPiA fellow, in a partnership between the University of Cape Town and the University of Nairobi.Over the years, substantial literature has emerged on gender equality and higher education in Africa. That research has been driven by ‘gender and development’ discourses embedded in neo-liberal approaches to democracy. It has relied primarily on quantitatively shaped information about gender ‘ratios’ and ‘imbalances.’ Juliet Njeri Muasya’s doctoral research has worked with qualitative methodologies and has sought to synthesize discourses on access to opportunities for ‘surviving’ campus life (such as gaining employment on campus) and on sexual harassment to uncover an array of both an overtly and covertly gendered practices. Muasya’s thesis focuses on the University of Nairobi, the largest university in East Africa. She suggests that, while aspirations towards ‘gender equality’ may have become normalized with policy frameworks, living cultures of hierarchized and subtle forms of gendered discrimination form the environment in which both men and women graduands have negotiated their academic survival.

In Historical Studies:Veronica-Sue BellingThesis Title: Recovering the lives of South African Jewish women during the migration years, c1880-1939

Veronica-Sue Belling has BA and MA (distinction) degrees from UCT plus a HDE and a PGDip (Librarianship) from the Hebrew University and a BA(Hons) (Judaica)(cum laude) from UNISA. From 1981 to 2012 she was UCT’s Jewish Studies Librarian in the Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research. Her research interests include South African Jewish bibliography and Yiddish language and literature. Veronica-Sue Belling’s thesis examines how women, doubly situated on the margins as Jewish and female, helped build the South African Jewish community and contributed to South African society generally. Based primarily on oral sources, the South African Jewish press and literature in English and Yiddish, she juxtaposes the majority of the women’s normative experiences with those of twelve exceptional women who, by virtue of education, career, lifestyle, political or cultural orientation, resisted the norm. Her thesis demonstrates that, while the conventional women were community builders who transplanted and transformed ‘old country’ traditions, the twelve idealistic, iconoclastic and driven women (including Sarah Gertrude Millin, Bertha Solomon, Ellen Hellmann, Ray Alexander Simons, Irma Stern, Sarah Goldblatt and Muriel Alexander) were sufficiently far sighted that their contributions to South African political and cultural life remains evident to this day.

Lucius Bavusile MaabaThesis Title: The history and politics of the liberation archives at Fort Hare

Bavusile (Brown) Maaba was born in Kwa-Thema, Springs in 1971. He has an MA from the University of Fort Hare. He helped write the history of Somafco, the ANC’s educational institution in Tanzania, has worked for Fort Hare, Wits and various South African archival projects, and has published in a number of scholarly journals. He has recently completed a history of the Africa Institute of South Africa. Bavusile Maaba’s thesis pioneers studies of the history and politics of South Africa’s liberation archive. It documents the 1990s repatriation of African National Congress, Pan Africanist Congress and Black Consciousness Movement liberation-era materials to Fort Hare, a process enabled by the liberation movements’ unbanning and South Africa’s transition to democracy. It shows that, while repatriation made material on the liberation struggle accessible to a community of scholars, the process was much contested, especially regarding whether the ANC archive should be housed separately from that of other liberation movements. The thesis suggests that, because the ANC became the post-apartheid party of government, its archives were viewed, inside and outside Fort Hare, as a tool to leverage other resources, and that the particular perception of the ANC archives influenced South Africa’s heritage landscape generally.

Having been a school art teacher, she completed a Master’s degree in Fine Art, thereafter working as a UCT researcher. Eustacia Riley’s thesis analyses representations of landscape in a corpus of films made in the Cape between 1947 and 1989. The films, many intended for Afrikaans audiences, were mainly products of a “white” and (after 1956) state-subsidised film industry. Yet a few critical, experimental and usually social realist films are amongst them. Critically reading their cinematic landscapes reveals construction and transformation of place and identity in apartheid South Africa and the ideological foundations underpinning subsidised and, later, oppositional film productions. All the films’ cinematic landscapes constitute “apartheid landscapes” represented, in most of them, as idealised, picturesque and pastoral. Yet some of the 1970s and 1980s films – “alternatives” documenting repression and poverty – represent dystopian and anti-pastoral landscapes. Through periodising the films the thesis demonstrates a trend from idealised, escapist and “apolitical” to critical “political” and racially inclusive representations. An innovative analysis of a hitherto little considered corpus of Cape-based films, it contributes significantly to South Africa’s developing ‘film and history’ field.

Sandra Carolyn Teresa ShellThesis Title: From slavery to freedom: the Oromo slave children of Lovedale, prosopography and profiles

Sandra Shell headed UCT’s African Studies Library at UCT after having previously headed Rhodes University’s Cory Library. She is now secretary of the Friends of the National Library of South Africa. Her MA thesis (UCT) on an Eastern Cape Frontier missionary’s journal will soon be published by the Van Riebeeck Society. Sandra Shell’s thesis focuses on 64 Oromo child slaves liberated by the Royal Navy in the Red Sea and shipped to the Eastern Cape’s Lovedale mission in 1890. A cohort based longitudinal prosopography, it uses the children’s own first passage accounts, supplemented by independent primary sources, to reveal a profoundly more complex picture of their first passages than hitherto understood. Shell’s findings suggest a need to revise ideas about the long-term physiological and psychological legacies of slaves’ first passages and to re-examine the causes of mortality on the middle passage. She shows that, by 1910, approximately one third of the children had died, one third were settled at the Cape, one third had returned to Ethiopia and one had headed for America. Their hitherto neglected story constitutes a remarkable record of African slaves’ experiences, draws upon fresh African voices and reveals an historical Ethiopia - South Africa link.

In Psychology:Jennifer Nyawira GithaigaThesis Title: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the lived experiences of women family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in Nairobi

Jennifer Githaiga holds a BEd (Arts) from Kenyatta University, an MA in Communication from Daystar University and an MA in Counselling Psychology from United States International University (USIU) – Africa, all in Kenya. Jennifer Githaiga’s thesis explores the lived experience of caring for a family member with advanced cancer among a sample of women caregivers in Nairobi, a cosmopolitan city marked by bicultural fusion of traditional and non-traditional

values. Using individual interviews with current caregivers and focus group discussions amongst bereaved caregivers, she finds: that family cancer caregiving in Nairobi necessitates navigating a bicultural labyrinth of interrelated role dualities pertaining to traditional versus non-traditional gender roles; that caregivers experience complex emotions linked to cultural norms, specifically in relation to their social identities as women; and that their reflexive gender role positionality aids such women to cope with their caregiving experiences by moderating the effects of challenges that arise in that context. These findings (a) challenge assumptions about an “African way” of caregiving by revealing the complexities attendant to the family cancer-caregiver role in the context of cosmopolitan Nairobi; (b) underscore the role of culture in mediating responses to illness and death; (c) point to a need for psychosocial support systems for family caregivers; and (d) support arguments that the family cancer caregiver plays a significant role and hence that there is a need for interventions that illuminate and enhance a community’s comprehension of the informal cancer caregiver role.

Nompumelelo Precious ZunguThesis Title: Social representations of AIDS and narratives of risk among Xhosa men

Nompumelelo Zungu obtained her MA degree in Research Psychology from the University of Cape Town. She joined the HSRC in 2002 and is currently a Chief Research Specialist in the HIV/AIDS, STI and TB Research programme. Nompumelelo Zungu’s thesis explores the meaning of AIDS and risk amongst a group of Xhosa men in two Western Cape townships. Her research, which is at the intersection of a range of complex and competing bodies of knowledge about risk, masculinity, culture and HIV/AIDS, has found that the process of managing risk relies on socio-cultural representations such as isimilo (good character) and imbeko (respect). Nompumelelo Zungu’s work contributes uniquely by documenting how groups

affected by AIDS deal with stigma through re-presenting AIDS as isigulo sabantu (a disease affecting Africans and/or caused by supernatural forces). Her work shows that the representation of AIDS as isigulo sabantu involves collective identity construction processes which, on one hand, protect in-group identity and, on the other, are used to normalise HIV infection and justify fatalistic attitudes and risk-taking behaviour. The thesis contributes to ways of thinking through risk, masculinity, and culture; and it has important implications for HIV intervention in the Southern African context.

In Religious Studies:*Joseph Maumo WanderaThesis Title: Public preaching by Muslims and Pentecostals in Mumias, Western Kenya and its influence on interfaith relations

Joseph Wandera was born in Mumias, Kenya in 1971. He has a Bachelor of Divinity from St Paul’s University, Kenya and an MA from Radboud University, Netherlands. Whilst studying at UCT he has been an active researcher in the Centre for Contemporary Islam. Joseph Wandera’s thesis examines the phenomenon of public preaching by Muslims and Pentecostals in Mumias, Western Kenya. Using qualitative data from interviews and sermons of selected preachers, he has interrogated the nature, context and effects of the sermons on public life. His research has revealed that public sermons in both traditions are employed as a means of “calling” others to their religion. In spite of their place in the public sphere, they are intensely engaged in religious activities. Although the sermons are inspired by religious traditions, they also depart from those traditions in significant ways. They point to the development of “free preachers” as a new form of religious leadership in society. Unlike that of their counterparts in formal religious institutions, the public preachers’ claim to authority is based on personal experiences of “a calling”, and not on traditional learning of religious texts. Wandera’s research has also established that public preachers engage directly and indirectly in the public sphere and that

52 53

consequently the preachers turn the public sphere into a site for contestation and competition. Whilst conflict is not always present in public preaching, the thesis shows that the sermons have the potential to contribute to tension and conflict between members of the two traditions.

In Social Anthropology:*Andre GoodrichThesis Title: Rifling through ‘nature’: an ethnographic account of biltong hunting, late capitalist ‘nature’ and a politics of belonging in the South African wildlife ranching industry

Andre Goodrich obtained a BA (Hons) in English Literature before going on to complete a MSocSc in Social Anthropology, both at UCT. Since 2005, he has lectured in Social Anthropology at the North-West University’s Potchefstroom Campus. Andre Goodrich’s thesis examines the relationship between the South African commercial hunting industry’s unprecedented growth since the 1990s and the disassembly of the apartheid-era state centred complex – one that authorized an Afrikaner nationalist mythology of hierarchy and belonging, particularly (albeit not only) for white Afrikaans-speaking men. On the basis of ethnographic research and analysis, he shows that what local white hunters refer to as ‘the veld’ is a form of nature that has been staged for them, precisely in order to sell to them a sense of belonging that is grounded in that mythological past. Biltong hunting, he finds, is thus politics by other means, a commercialised cultural prosthetic device for stabilizing a once hegemonic masculine identity now cut loose from its institutional moorings by South Africa’s transition to democracy. The thesis disentangles this staging, and examines the various narratives and diverse embodied strategies that hunters and farmers use to stage and thereby to naturalize a mythic Afrikaner nationalist past in the post-apartheid present.

Shannon Kelly MorreiraThesis Title: Transnational human rights and local moralities: the circulation of rights discourses in Zimbabwe and South Africa

Shannon Morreira studied at Speciss College, Harare, Zimbabwe before enrolling at UCT where she obtained a BA with distinction in Anthropology and English. She thereafter specialized in Anthropology, obtaining a first class Honours degree in 2005 and MA with distinction. Shannon Morreira offers an important intervention into debates on transitional justice and human rights by explaining how universal human rights ideas travel and are localized when put into practice. She has developed a multi-sited approach enabling her to trace the lineaments of rights discourse in multiple contexts, including the virtual. Her dissertation thus represents an important methodological and theoretical intervention into the disciplinary corpus.Shannon Morreira’s thesis is that human rights are always embedded in everyday contexts and practices. Using Achille Mbembe’s idea of ‘entanglement’, she shows that it is both the presumed universality of rights – their ‘inalienable nature’ – and their flexibility as a form of discourse that enable localization and vernacularisation. She demonstrates that, gaps between the notion of the person presumed in universal human rights and in Africanist concepts of unhu/Ubuntu notwithstanding, people rework ideas about rights to incorporate their cultural perspectives on morality, justice and personhood but always in ways constrained by universalistic notions of human rights.

In Sociology:*Colin Joel AlmelehThesis Title: HIV disclosure in ‘public’ and personal spaces: a mixed methods\study of people living with HIV in Khayelitsha, South Africa

Colin Almeleh has a BSc (Electrical Engineering) and a BSocSci (Hons) in Social Anthropology from UCT. Since becoming a graduate student in Sociology and the AIDS and Society Research Unit in 2005, he has managed two surveys and run an outreach and advocacy program for HIV-positive people on antiretroviral treatment. Colin Almeleh’s thesis examines the dynamics of HIV-disclosure amongst HIV-positive women in Khayelitsha, some of whom were involved in AIDS activism. Using qualitative and quantitative data, he finds that, despite psychological and social difficulties involved in disclosing one’s HIV status, most had disclosed to family and friends, and some had disclosed publicly as part of their activism. His analysis shows that different factors affect decisions to disclose publicly, to family members and to sexual partners – and that these change over time. He argues that disclosure processes are dynamic and difficult to measure, and that qualitative interviews very helpfully supplement quantitative data. In the case of public disclosure, relevant factors include activist pressures, where disclosure takes place, the type of media and who constitutes the audience. In the case of sexual partners, Almeleh’s data suggest, gender dynamics play a much stronger role in decision-making than does AIDS-stigma. For disclosure to family members, Almeleh finds that instrumental reasons, such as seeking support and care, dominate other concerns. The research is framed within a broad analysis of the history of HIV/AIDS in Khayelitsha an area that was the hub of South Africa’s first antiretroviral roll-out and key location for the Treatment Action Campaign.

Kende Mekonnen KefaleThesis Title: The University as a social system Niklas Luhmann on the problem of self-descriptions: the case of the University of Cape Town’s admissions policy

Kende Kefale has an MSocSc in Sociology (with distinction) from UCT. He has been studying towards his PhD degree since 2010. Kende Kefale’s thesis applies Niklas Luhmann’s social theory to analyse post-apartheid universities’ admissions policy, specifically the controversy surrounding UCT’s race-based admissions policy. Applying that theory’s insight that self-descriptions are usually inadequate indicators of a social system’s reproductive operations, he queries whether descriptions used in the admissions policy might not generate persisting controversy, particularly since externally accepted legal, political and economic definitions of ‘race’ and ‘fairness’ permeate all internal university discussions about affirmative action regarding admissions. Building on a detailed examination of the Luhmann’s theory of social systems, and conceptualizing the university itself as a social system, he suggests that UCT’s admissions policy controversy is a function of its lack of self-reference – its inability to explain, in particular higher education terms rather than generally in terms used within an external system, why its admissions policy discriminates between races. He identifies this as one reason for dissatisfaction amongst both those supporting and those opposing using race in the admissions policy. He concludes with an alternate self-description of the university’s mission and admissions policy – one that might break the current deadlock.

Fani NcapayiThesis Title: Land and changing social relations in South Africa’s former reserves: the case of Luphaphasi in Sakhisizwe Local Municipality, Eastern Cape

Fani Ncapayi obtained his MA from the University of the Western Cape in 2004. He registered in 2008, under the auspices of the NRF Research Chair in Land Reform and Democracy in South Africa in the Department of Sociology, and has since participated actively in the Research Chair’s weekly seminar programme. Fani Ncapayi’s thesis, located within scholarship about land and agrarian reform, explores historically how land has influenced changes in social relations in rural areas of the former reserves, from the time of nineteenth century colonial contact to 2011. The bulk of his research was conducted in the Eastern Cape’s Luphaphasi administrative between 2009 and 2011 – a period during which he gathered data through interviews with the beneficiaries of the state’s land reform programme. His thesis challenges the established view of the proletarianisation school of thought – one that argues that land has ceased to be important in the lives of rural people. He argues that, despite most rural dwellers having become wage workers, they retained continuous, albeit varying levels of attachment to rural agricultural land. His thesis argues further that such persons can no longer be regarded as peasants given that they hire labour and combine wage income and land.

MISSION STATEMENT

HISTORICAL SKETCHHISTORICAL SKETCH

Founded as the South African College in 1829, the University was established as the

University of Cape Town in 1918.

The institution was a boys’ school that aimed to provide higher education as well. The early

history was one of great expectations and hard times and it was not until the early years of the

twentieth century that the University was developed into a fully-fledged tertiary institution.

University status was conferred in 1918. A significant and pioneering development in the

19th century was the admission of women as degree students in 1886, many years ahead of

most universities in the world.

At the start of the 20th century the University incorporated the Diocesan College, the teacher

training classes of the Normal College, the South African College of Music and the Cape

Town Schools of Fine Art and Architecture. The Medical School was established and in the

1920s the University began a partnership with the local health authority (now the Provincial

Government’s health department) that saw the Medical School move from the Hiddingh

Campus and the Green Point Somerset Hospital to Observatory. This partnership allowed for

the construction of the first Groote Schuur Hospital on a University site. This partnership

continues to this day and now involves not only Groote Schuur as a teaching hospital but Red

Cross, Valkenberg and a growing number of primary health care sites. UCT’s Upper Campus

moved to its present site on part of Cecil Rhodes' estate in 1928.

Before World War II, the University was largely a teaching university and its students were

mostly undergraduates. The research undertaken was sporadic, though in some cases notable.

A research committee was appointed for the first time in 1945. The next 50 years saw a great

expansion of research and scholarly work such that the UCT of 2012 has a greater proportion

of highly rated researchers and gains significantly more research grants and awards than any

other South African University.

The period between the end of World War II and 1994 was marked by two themes. Firstly,

the University recognised that if it was to be fully South African, it would have to move

beyond academic non-segregation to be fully inclusive. It would have to face the

consequential and increasing clashes with a government determined to legislate for

segregation and enforce the doctrine of apartheid. And secondly, the University intended to

transform into a leading research institution.

The 1980s and 1990s were characterized by the deliberate and planned transformation of the

student body. This was aided by the establishment of the Academic Development

Programme aimed at helping students from disadvantaged educational and social

backgrounds to succeed and the desegregation of student residences. As a result, a student

body that was 90% white in 1979, when UCT marked its 150th anniversary, is more than

50% black in 2012. The student body of 2012 tops 24000. A significant proportion of our

students come from the SADC states and we have students drawn from over 100 countries.

Particular emphasis is placed on postgraduate studies and more than 20% of these students

will be enrolled in masters and doctoral programmes. A growing number of postdoctoral

fellows (UCT has more than a third of the total number of post docs in South Africa)

contribute substantially to the research endeavours and reputation of the University.

UCT continues to work towards its goal to be Africa’s leading research university.

Its success can be measured by the scope of study it offers and the calibre of its graduates.
