This was an event that brought together gender and area scholars, researchers with an interest in masculinity and an interest in Southern Africa. The event was attended by leading figures working on gender and masculinity, Raewyn Connell, Jeff Hearn andMichael Kimmel. The keynote address by Connell featured as the lead article in the new journal, Men and Masculinities, that appeared the following year. The Colloquium attracted historians with established reputations including William Beinart, Dunbar Moodie, John Tosh and Luise White and of course, Guy himself. A primary goal of the Colloquium was to encourage the gendered analysis of men and masculinities in Southern African studies. Another goal was to alert an international audience to the richness of South African scholarship. The study of masculinity as a socially constructed, gendered phenomenon had been growing since the mid-1980s but Connell’s landmark 1995 volume, Masculinities marked a take-off. Creating a framework that identified multiple forms of masculinity – from hegemonic, to complicit, subordinate and protest – Connell’s theories offered an approach that went beyond simple, binaried approaches to questions of gender and patriarchy while politically adhering to broad feminist principles. Twenty-eight papers were presented plus a keynote by Connell and closing remarks by Jeff Hearn and Michael Kimmel. After the colloquium three edited volumes were produced: a special issue of the Journal of Southern African Studies, another of the Durban-based feminist journal, Agenda, in 1998, and an edited book. Most of the papers that were presented at the Colloquium were published in one of these three collections but Guy’s was not. He declined invitations to develop his paper. Now, 20 years after the event, his paper will finally, posthumously, be made widely available. This is not to say that it went unnoticed.

The article shows how Gibson’s activities illuminate several aspects of South Africa’s, and especially Natal’s, role in the war. The strategic situation in the period 1940–3 made South African ports crucial to the British campaigns in North Africa and East Asia. The article demonstrates that women’s volunteerism in Durban played a key part in sustaining military morale in this period, and thereby contributes to a gendered reading of the politics of the war. It also emphasises the specificity of Natal settler loyalism in framing the activities of Gibson and her co-workers: white Natalians had a particularly strong sense of connection to Britain, and an ambivalent relationship to the South African state. Finally, the article points out how racial tensions were building in this period, in ways which would lead to internal crisis in the country and international isolation by the 1960s. This would ultimately undermine the Natal-British identity for which Gibson stood.","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"32 1","pages":"38 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2018.1462045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47385897","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}

This article examines 144 murder cases in Natal from 1900 to 1929 and demonstrates that murder by African women tended to concentrate around a few distinct relationships, including women and their husbands or lovers, polygamous co-wives, and female acquaintances not related by marriage. Such clusters suggest that these relationships were imbued with a particularly high degree of conflict for African women. Through representative case studies, this article argues that there were three main sources of this conflict, including dynamics internal to African society, legal and economic interventions of white authorities, and the ability of African communities to obviate laws that might serve to protect African women. These factors worked, to varying degrees, to impose constraints on African women along the lines of race, class, and gender, thereby creating strained social conditions that sometimes escalated into lethal violence.","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"32 1","pages":"23 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2018.1443365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45318627","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}

Waetjen","doi":"10.1080/02590123.2018.1464704","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02590123.2018.1464704","url":null,"abstract":"We welcome our readers to this second issue of Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice of 2015. Coaching is now awell-accepted activity. Statistics by theUKChartered Institute of Personnel andDevelopment (CIPD, 2014) show that 32% (40% rate this as effective) of UK organisations sampled use coaching by line managers or peers and 12% (rated as effective by 16%) use external coaching. Whilst precise data are hard to come by, this nevertheless indicates that over a third of organisations use coaching in some way. A rough and ready search usingGoogle Scholar with the search term ‘executive coaching’ produces 26,800 results from 1995 to 2005, for the 10-year period from 2005 to now this has grown to 46,800 hits, which is about a 75% increase in only 10 years. So the evidence base is growing. The majority of submissions to our journal start off with some sort of statistics on user statistics (how many organisations use coaching) or industry size statistics (how big the estimated revenue from coaching is). This then usually leads to a call for ‘more evidence’.More often than not, we question such general opening statements. The evidence base is clearly growing, so submissions need to show maturity by articulating more clearly where and how a gap in coaching knowledge and understanding is being addressed. There is now evidence that overall, coaching is effective for learning and enhancing performance (Jones, Woods, & Guillaume, 2015). But there is less parallel evidence which shows how and for whom coaching works – what exactly are the ‘effective ingredients’? This is not an easy question to answer for an activity which ultimately relies on people working together in an effective coaching relationship (e.g. Palmer & McDowall, 2010). Notwithstanding this challenge, the coaching relationship has in turn garnered increasing research interest as a proposed ‘effective ingredient’ of coaching itself. Specific helpful aspects of the coaching relationship (e.g. Grant, 2013; O’Broin & Palmer, 2010) and its potential mediating and moderating effects on coaching and coaching outcomes (e.g. Ianiro, Lehmann-Willenbrock, & Kauffeld, 2014) are beginning to be examined in studies exploring the processes of the coaching relationship in more depth. Lai andMcDowall (2014) took stockof the evidence base to find, perhaps unsurprisingly, that coaching effects have a lot to do with how the coach manages the relationship and demonstrates socio-emotional competence. Since then, the evidence base has grown further still, but there aremany areaswhich require further investigation. In summary, we propose that the field needs growing research on the following topics and issues:","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"32 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2018.1464704","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44609327","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}

Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini used narratives of tradition and authority to bolster his position as a modern monarch in an era in which the monarchy inhabits an ambivalent political role. This campaign demonstrates the intersections of Zwelithini's concerns with economic interests, provincial policymaking and national gender politics. To illustrate the deeply intertwined nature of this campaign with narratives of tradition, the article first tracks the narratives around the campaign constructed by Zwelithini and his supporters and compares those with the opinions and reactions of individuals throughout South Africa. The focus then turns to the gendered rhetoric promoted in the initiative, particularly to highlight the contradiction between these narratives and their interpretations by laypeople. The final section focuses on Zwelithini himself, tracking the challenges that he faced during this era and the ways in which he used the circumcision campaign to fortify his tenuous position.","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"32 1","pages":"55 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2018.1447534","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44397023","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}

The Foundation had been constituted after meetings in Cape Town had been addressed by Satish Dhupelia and AV Mohammed who were members of the 1860 Legacy Foundation of Durban, tasked with co-ordinating a national movement. They and Ashwin Trikamjee, a religious leader who chaired the Durban committee were present. The gathering brought Gujarati Hindus, Christians, Muslims, and Tamil Hindus of the city together. While the ancestors of many of those present had come as immigrants to the Cape directly from India and had little direct connection to indenture, the Tamils present did have their roots in the indenture system. The movement from Natal to the Cape Colony by the ex-indentured had, in fact, begun from the 1870s in response to the discovery of diamonds in Kimberley. Many Tamil Indians would continue to come to the Cape in the post-Union period often breaking inter-provincial restrictions on movement and settling in the Cape illegally.","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"31 1","pages":"45 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2013.11964185","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59312353","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}

Couper","doi":"10.1080/02590123.2013.11964197","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02590123.2013.11964197","url":null,"abstract":"The author posits that Satyagraha (‘a force that comes from truth, love and non-violence’) as a concept and practice suffered three dilutions in South Africa. The first occurred in 1961 when Nelson Mandela launched Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) without the African National Congress (ANC) or Albert Luthuli's knowledge or support. Mandela's insubordination placed the ANC, in his own words, “on a new and more dangerous path”. Satyagraha's second dilution began in 1967 when South African nationalist historiography began to mythologise the past by articulating that Luthuli, arguably the quintessential satyagrahi, approved of and supported the armed struggle. Satyagraha's third dilution began in 2003 when the Gandhi Development Trust began, through the Satyagraha Award, to link Satyagraha with those who launched MK and thus chose violent methods to liberate South Africa. The author argues that bestowing the Satyagraha Award upon those who themselves claim no spiritual, ethical or strategic allegiance to Satyagraha dilutes the Award's potency to advocate for non-violent methods. The author challenges morally confused associations adopted by defenders of a sanitised history and claims that merely striving for a non-violent and peaceful society does not therefore, by default, qualify one as a proponent or practitioner of Satyagraha. The author cautions against grafting Satyagraha to the ANC's struggle against Apartheid post-1961. Such an incongruous fusion often demonstrates an allegiance to a certain outcome (freedom) at any cost or to a political party rather than to Satyagraha's values. The moral confusion is painfully evident in today's violent South African society.","PeriodicalId":88545,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natal and Zulu history","volume":"31 1","pages":"115 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02590123.2013.11964197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59313033","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}
