The Trotskyist Groups in South Africa - A Retrospective View by Baruch Hirson (Encyclopedia of Trotskyism On-Line: Revolutionary History: Volume 4, No. 4, 1993, South Africa)
THE HISTORY of the South African Trotskyists during the 1930s and into the next decade was never made available or discussed with new recruits. There were vague stories, but no hard facts. No former member of the groups wrote about his experiences, and there was a silence that was so extensive that some comrades' names could not be mentioned. I learnt in the 1940s that there had been a one-time nun in the leadership of the Workers Party of South Africa. But no details were available, even though she had died (as I later found) in 1942.

Review of Kora: A lost Khoisan language of the early Cape and the Gariep (Unisa Press), by June Bam-Hutchison (Centre for African Studies, University of Cape Town)
There have always been general assumptions that the KhoeSan people (‘Khoe’ is the correct spelling) are extinct and that their languages at the Cape died out with them. Another assumption is that they once spoke ‘Cape Khoe’ but that this language has also died out because it was last heard used in public in the Cape by Uithaalder in his protest against the introduction of a new vagrancy law against the KhoeSan in 1834 (Ross 2017).

Hondeklipbaai, Namaqualand
Hondeklipbaai is a small fishing community along the coast of Namaqualand. The Village was original to export copper in Namaqualand. Simon Van der Stel, the governor of the Cape, discovered copper in Namaqualand. As early as 1852 the first copper was shipped by the “Bosphorus” to Wales. Hondeklip was the Port for copper shipping to the United Kingdom! The Town never developed, as it was too far from the Springbok Magistrate! The small Village or Harbour point never seem to be able to expand.
