In the 1960s, with damage from unplanned development and recreational over-utilisation, an important activist campaign was launched to conserve the Magaliesberg. Local and national initiatives were spawned which ultimately came to involve landowners, recreation, cultural and nature conservation interests, as well as various tiers of government. Acrimonious contest over the Magaliesberg eventually ended with a coalescence of interests and the evolution of suitable legal planning and management tools. However, owing to altered government priorities, the area is once again vulnerable to irreparable environmental damage. Using this example, the argument of this paper is that sites of contest often promote constructions of identity and the transformation of notions of 'land' (a resource or a commodity) into 'place' (sites which exemplify identity and other cultural values). During the apartheid years when political and economic participation were vital campaigns, environmental activism had an extremely low priority among the majority of South Africans. Current environmental issues are also not generally being addressed through public activism, but rather through the legislative and administrative channels which have operated since 1994. These are generally 'brown' environmental issues rather than 'green' ones. Demands are for clean water, worker safety or more land to be made available for housing and farming. Political agitation on 'green' conservation issues is limited to allowing","PeriodicalId":81767,"journal":{"name":"Kleio","volume":"34 1","pages":"103 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00232080285310041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58825878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous article I discussed the concept of Britishness in a South African context and examined its relationship with the South Africanism which played so impor tant a role in South African politics during the first half of the 20th century. 1 I was part icular ly interested in the way in which a strong South Africanist sentiment developed amongst some white English-speaking South Africans. I used the term 'Dominion South Africanism' to stress that while this South Africanism was broad enough to embrace both white language groups, it was essentially underpinned by notions of British cultural superiori ty and predicated a South Africa loyal to the British Crown and an integral par t of the British Empire. In the view of Sir Patrick Duncan, the first South African to be appointed Governor-General, it implied a united white nation on terms ' favourable to the Empire and to the English in South Africa'. 2 This stress on the British connection made Dominion South","PeriodicalId":81767,"journal":{"name":"Kleio","volume":"34 1","pages":"128 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00232080285310061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58825695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent with the National Par ty ' s insistence that the black people are not a homogeneous group, but consist of a number of dist inctly separa te ethnic minorit ies, it made sense that in the government ' s formulat ion of programmes to regulate racial relations after the Second World War, the ethnic factor should be accorded such significance. It was in recognition of this fact that the government divided the black populat ion into ethnic units, each in its own 'homeland ' , where it could develop culturally, economical ly and politically. During the early stages of separate development, the apartheid ideologues consistently left the South Ndebele out of these emerging plans for an ethnically-parti t ioned South Africa, in the hope that they would integrate with other ethnic groups until they disappeared. 1 In the early 1970s, however, a decision was taken to reeognise the South Ndebele as a separate ethnic unit and urgent steps were taken to consolidate the farms around Weltevrede into a homeland. What had changed? The intention of this article is to provide an answer to this question by focusing on the reasons for the establishment of KwaNdebele. It also looks at its failure, in contras t to the success of the former homelands to become independent from South Africa as planned for 11 December 1986.

The book is a his tory of the Second World War seen from Hitler 's standpoint, and most of it is concerned with purely military history. I rving 's argument about the fate of the Jews is that Hitler 's policy was to resettle them in the east; that doing so in war t ime created appalling conditions; that Hitler 's subordinates considered his virulent antisemitism sufficient authorisation to put Jews to death rather than let them die of s tarvat ion and disease; and that Hitler did not become aware of his subordinates ' actions until October 1943 or possibly later, by which time the process was largely a f a i t a c c o m p l i . So the Holocaust happened, and Hitler bears a heavy responsibil i ty for it, but he did not actually order it. Hitler 's slovenly habits, his preoccupat ion with the war, and the ramshackle nature of the Nazi state, make this thesis not entirely implausible. Irving argues that it is convenient for Germans to put all the blame on one omnipotent lunatic whom it was death to disobey, but that the guilt was much more widely spreadL Irving does not hold a salaried academic post: he is a professional writer entirely dependent on the sale of his books, and he charged that false accusations of Holocaust denial were destroying his career and means of livelihood by alienating publishers, booksellers and readers.
