The Swiss missionaries' management of social transformation in South Africa, 1873-1976Masumbe, Benneth Mhlakaza Chabalala 11 1900 (has links)
This research surveys the Swiss missionaries' management of social transformation in South Africa
(1873-1976). It has as its major focus the management of schools, hospitals and churches as the
primary institutions of social change in society. The researcher's realisation that more often than
not, the changes brought to bear on proselytes by the change forces take time to manifest
themselves vividly induced him to extend the scope to include the dawn of the new political
dispensation in this country in 1994. This need not surprise the readership as the triadic approach,
which is synonymous with historial analyses compels researchers to avail readers of what happened
in the past, present as well as what is likely to occur in future. In other words, readers will encounter
the ethnic nationalism engineered by different change agents in this country and the repercussions
thereof, and the schism within the Swiss Mission in South Africa/Evangelical Presbyterian Church
in South Africa that started in 1989 and became reality by 1991. Finally, the thesis also appraises readers of what should be done in periods of rapid social change. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (History of Education)

The Swiss Missionaries' educational endeavour as a means for social transformation in South Africa (1873-1975)Masumbe, Benneth Mhlakaza Chabalala 06 1900 (has links)
This research traces the developments in Europe that led to a rush for foreign missions i
different parts of the world, with specific reference to South Africa. It describes the operations
of the Swiss missionaries in South Africa from 1873 to 1975. This study also evaluates the motives
for the evangelization of the African masses, and contradictions th existed in the relations that
missionaries had with proselytes during the period under review. The sterling contributions of
black evangelists in this period are demonstrated. It cannot be denied that the Swiss missionaries
did a lot of good to the indigenous populac of South Africa-the importance of their services at
Lemana Training Institution (1906) and Elim Hospital (1899) are indelibly inscribed in our
historiography. They should also applauded for their response to the plight of the Shangaans, who
had for reasons unkno
to the researcher been by-passed by other missions during the "scramble for mission fields". But
the missionaries also had their shortcomings, for instance their failure to ind the state to remove
capital punishment from the statute books. They may nonetheless stil continue to be used by the
present government of South Africa to assist in carrying the social transformation process forward. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
