perceptions, which inevitably led to various ideas and behaviour on the part of those
participating in the educative act.
Perceptions of others, objects or situations remain complex. The thoughts and
behaviour which emanate from such complexity depend on factors such as
personality, motivation, and social context. Culture also plays a cardinal role in the
perceptual process. In the Republic of South Africa, as a culturally diverse country,
divergent perceptions about education, where multi-culturalism is most evident, will
be inevita ble.
Mission education has been variedly adjudged, because of varied perceptions. This
is understandable, as Black South Africans had been educated pre-dominantly by
White missionaries up until the 1950's. Generally, politicians, academics and the
media tend to give one-sided viewpoints, negating other interpretations and balanced
perspectives. This takes place because of ignorance, bias or self-interest.
Two commonly held perceptions about missionaries, are that they were racist and
that their education system promoted colonialism. The understanding of racism,
colonialism and missionaries' role therein, is in turn determined by numerous factors
amongst historians, academics, politicians and journalists. The perceptions of each
of these groups are often determined by partisan interests, which inevitably lead to
unfair generalisations and stereotypes, since the rnetabletical nature of education is
denied.In order to dissertate on past educational events, they need to be read contextually,
taking into account both temporal and spatial dimensions of historical reality. When
analysing historical perceptions, one needs to critically evaluate diverse
interpretations of the past, and attempt to present a balanced perspective, instead
of presenting a biased outlook,which tends to favour a specific hypothesis.
This research critically analyses the various perceptions (past and present)
surrounding mission education in South Africa, according to historical-metabletical
guidelines, that they may be presented within a more balanced historical perspective. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika was onderworpe aan 'n groot verkeidenheid persepsies, wat
onvermydelik gelei het tot uiteenlopende idees en gedragsuitinge onder praktisyns van
opvoeding.
'n Mens se waarneming van andere, van voorwerpe en situasies, bly 'n komplekse
saak. Gedagtes en handelinge wat uit hierdie kompleksiteit voorvloei, hang van
faktore af soos, persoonlikheid, motivering en sosiale kontekste. Kultuur speel ook
'n sleutelrol in die waarnemingsprases. In die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 'n land met
'n veelvoudigheid van kulture, waar multi-kulturalisme aan die orde van die dag is, sal
uiteenlopende waarnemings random die opvoeding onvermydelik wees.
Sendingonderwys, was verskillend beoordeel, as gevolg van die uiteenlopende
waarnemings. Dit is te verstane, aangesien swart Suid-Afrikaners hoofsaaklik deur
blanke sendelinge onderrig is, tot en met die vyftigerjare. Oor die algemeen, is
politici, akademici en die media geneig om eensydige sieninge te huldig en weer te
gee. Hierdeur word ander sienswyses of meer gebalanseerde sienswyses soms
negeer. Dit gebeur as gevolg van onkunde, vooraordeel of eie-belang.
Twee algemene sienswyses aangaande sendelinge, is dat hulle rassiste was, en dat
hulle opvoeding kolonialisme gepropageer het. Die verstaan van rassisme,
kolonialisme en die rol van sendelinge hierin, word medebepaal deur verskeie faktore
onder historici, akademici, politici en joemaliste. Die waarneminge van hierdie graepe
word dikwels bepaal deur graepbelange, wat onvermydelik lei tot onregverdige
veralgemenings en stereotipering, omdat die metabletiese aard van opvoeding ontken
word.Om oar opvoedingsgebeure van die verlede te kan redeneer, behoort dit kontekstueel
gelees te word; terwyl beide die tyd-, sowel as die ruimtelike dimensies van die
historiese werklikheid in ag geneem word. Die ontleding van historiese waarneming
vereis kritiese interpretasie van 'n verskeidenheidinterpretasies uit die verlede. Daar
moet oak gepoog word am 'n gebalanseerde eerder as 'n bevooroordeelde
waameming, wat slegs een bepaalde hipotese onderskryf, daar te stel.
Hierdie navorsing analiseer krities - volgens histories-metabletiese riglyne - verskeie
waarneminge (verlede en teenswoordige), aangaande sendingonderwys in Suid-Afrika,
am hierdeur tot 'n meer gebalanseerde historiese perspektief te geraak.

The Berlin Mission Church in Cape Town 1899-1923Karzek, Thomas 11 1900 (has links)
The study describes the formation and the establishment
of the first urban congregation of the Berlin Mission in
the Cape at the turn of the century. The establishment of
the Cape Town Congregation was not a result of urban
mission work but rather a result of the townward movement
of rural coloured people who already belonged to the
Berlin Mission Church. At first the mission headquarters
in Berlin resisted an involvement in Cape Town, but the
members there and the missionaries of the Cape Synod
urged the Berl in Mission to accept the responsibility.
Fol lowing the advice of the Moravian Mission the
Berliners finally sent a missionary, and declared the
congregation as a proper mission station on May 7, 1907.
The study closes with the consecration of the church
building in Searle Street in 1923 as a visible sign for
the establishment of the Berlin Mission Church in Cape
Town. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

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)
