Working in partnership with the British Governor, Sir George Grey, he enrolled the sons and daughters of leading African chiefs. They received and English, Christian education, the purpose of which was to further the cause of Christianity and 'civilisation' in Africa. This elite educational project, both cultural and political in nature, soon gathered steam. Among the first entrants were Gonya and Emma Sandile, heir and eldest daughter of the Rharhabe chief Sandile; Nathaniel Umhaka, son of the Ndlambe chief Mhala; and George Tlali, son of the great Basotho leader, Moshoeshoe I. Over the years a succession of sons from chiefly dynasties, sometimes spanning several generations, came to Zonnebloem: the Moshoeshoes of Basutoland, the Pilanes of Bechuanaland, the Lewanikas of Barotseland, and the Lobengulas of Matabeleland. After their education at Zonnebloem, students took up careers as catechists, teachers, political secretaries, lawyers, newspaper editors and priests and served their communities with distinction. Their stories, trials and achievements are recounted here, often in their own words. Central to the book is a unique collection of school essays and letters, that forms one of the earliest bodies of writing by Africans in southern Africa. This remarkable work, based on years of research and written with great sympathy, tells the little-known early history of the genesis of an African intelligentsia during the colonial period"--Back cover. 610 20 $a Zonnebloem College (Cape Town, South Africa) $x History. 650 0 $a Schools $z Cape Town $z Cape Town $x History. 650 0 $a Education $z Cape Town $z Cape Town $x History. 650 0 $a Church schools $z Cape Town $z Cape Town $x History. 650 7 $a Church schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860929 650 7 $a Education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902499 650 7 $a Schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107958 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204844 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 $a Edlmann, Theresa $q (Theresa Margaret), $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019060433 830 0 $a African lives series ; $v no. 11. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018096462 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=271A0F381B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
