Hierdie studie ondersoek die aard van en opvattings oor reisliteratuur oor Kenia sedert 1963. Dit is ’n faset van die literatuur oor Kenia waaroor daar tot dusver nog nie indringend navorsing gedoen en besin is nie. Reisliteratuur het ’n lang geskiedenis in Afrika. ’n Aantal boeke is gedurende die negentiende eeu oor Afrika geskryf en Kenia is nie afgeskeep nie. Onder die skrywers tel Johann Ludwig Krapf, Joseph Thomson, graaf Samuel Teleki von Szek en Luitenant Ludwig von Höhnel. Van die geografiese kenmerke van die land wat indruk op hulle gemaak het, was die sneeubedekte Berg Kenia, die mere en die Groot Skeurvallei. Gedurende die twintigste eeu was daar ’n tyd toe skrywers van mening was dat vinniger vervoermiddels en massatoerisme ’n negatiewe invloed op individuele toerisme en die sogenaamde ideale omstandighede vir die skryf van reisliteratuur sou hê. Onlangse studies beklemtoon egter die hernieude belangstelling in reisliteratuur. Buitelandse kennis oor Kenia word aangevul deur reisliteratuur, hoewel dit ook ’n genre met sy eie reëls en geskiedenis is wat insae in die skrywers, uitgewers en lesers van die genre bied. Sedert 1963 is verskillende kategorieë reisliteratuur oor Kenia gepubliseer. Bekende skrywers wat Kenia besoek het en oor hulle ervarings geskryf het, sluit in Bill Bryson, Alberto Moravia, Shiva Naipaul, Paul Theroux en Wilfred Thesiger. ’n Prominente figuur in die kader van reisliteratuur is die plaaslik gebore fotojoernalis Mohamed Amin, wat die Camerapix-fotografie- en uitgewersagentskap begin het. Kenia se eks-Britse koloniale literatuur is deel van die postkoloniale era. Dit is egter nie waar dat die meeste van die tekste deel van die postkoloniale diskoers is nie. Aangesien al die boeke buite Kenia ontstaan en gepubliseer is, veral in die Weste, weerspieël die literatuur verskillende (nie-inheemse) perspektiewe van “die ander” asook verskillende soorte sosiopolitieke invloede. Deur sowel die hulpmiddels van die geskiedenis as die literatuurteorie te gebruik, is dit moontlik om die tekste beter te verstaan. In die postmoderne era is navorsing uit meer as een perspektief van besondere waarde. Reisliteratuur oor Kenia sedert 1963 is nie deur professionele historici geskryf nie en bewys dat verskeie mense tot die hibridiese dissipline van die geskiedenis kan bydra. Al hierdie tekste is gepubliseer en beklemtoon die rol van die gepubliseerde woord. Die tekste is in verskeie kategorieë reisliteratuur in een van die Europese tale, en nie in Kiswahili of een van Kenia se inheemse tale nie, geskryf. Die boeke bevestig onder meer die belangrikheid van die Swahili-geskiedenis, die bou van die Uganda Railway, die land se onafhanklikwording in 1963, die rol van presidente Jomo Kenyatta en Daniel arap Moi en die menslike nood in Kenia. Die geskiedenis van Kenia kan nie verstaan word sonder kennis van die land se geografie en natuurlewe nie, want die kenmerke was dikwels ’n uitdaging vir die mense en het allerlei soorte oorlewingstrategieë geverg. Die landskap trek ook baie besoekers na die land toe. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2013 / Historical and Heritage Studies / Unrestricted

During 1913 arrangements have been made for the hygienic inspection of school children in primary schools, in Transvaal, Dr C. L. Leipoldt was appointed. Medical inspection started in April, 1914, and discontinued, owing to the outbreak of the war in August, and was resumed in October 1915. In 1918 the scheme of inspection was organized on a sound basis, but was interrupted by the influenza epidemic. In 1919, Dr Leipoldt, was seconded to the Cape, and the service was carried out by Drs Cleaver and Elias. For private reasons, Dr Leipoldt resigned at the end of 1922. Dr J. A. Kieser, joined the service in 1922 and retired at the end of 1948. After various temporary appointments, Dr F. Z. van der Merwe was appointed on the 23rd of July 1951, and retired on the 10th of December 1954. Dr c. E. Theron has been appointed as his successor as from January 1955. During 1958 a Commission of Enquiry was appointed to inquire into the efficiency of the school medical service. In 1959, extensions of the service and the provision for more satisfactory accommodation were held in abeyance, awaiting the proposed transfer of the School Medical Services to the Department of Hospital Services. The expected transfer did not eventuate in 1960 and the work continued as before. On 1st April 1961, the School Medical Service as a whole was taken over by the Department of Hospital Services. The buildings, equipment, etc. were also tranferred. In future Dental Service would no longer function as part of the School Medical Service, but would continue to exist as a separate section under its own head. The nurses are, engaged exclusively in service to schools. All treatments and arrangements are now controlled by the hospitals. The old Roman opinion that a sound mind dwells in a healthy body (Mens sana in corpore sano) also comes to its own right in the Transvaal Educational System. / Thesis (MEd)--PU vir CHO
