DESTRUCTION OF HERITAGE

If, which you spent at any time on this blog, know that this of the hobby horses, which I receive is a quantity of exercise to the expenditure of the people, which possess inheritance places of assembly and destroy them then. In haven Elizabeth ours is pray noir Irish slum area lord Ken Denton, which is not like a plague with men, if it comes to the inheritance destruction.Sadly, we is alone. Last week was demoliert a material treasure in Johannesburg, in the glaring defiance of an order, in order to protect the place of assembly. He was done by the company of imperial getting thing, and I would like the whole of, the this and read from Obacht fallen over this expenditure to express for of of solidarity with the people of Johannesburg by boycotting this company. I do something research during the week and inform you you which companies and products are involved.I to receive have protested already with imperial getting thing and sent letters to the friend -, MyPE Schwaetzchenforum and to the local newspaper of people to ask to stand and this company not permit together, with such zynischen and egoistic activities away. We do not have to send a strong announcement to all characteristic developers those, no matter how largely or Rich are them, it can with robbing we of ours heritage!I away received received a fascinating circular today, written by Neil Fraser, and there it set it all so talk-turned, copies I the letter, instead of, to the Rehash facts."CITICHAT trying, 3/200825 January 2008Laundry LamentationsAt gives the end of the daily which here it is that marks, the some people to be interested and others not a curse? Why do some people experience the Thrill examples of the cultures and the structures of a preceding way of life, while other history and inheritance than obstacle see to its concept of the progress? Why we let our lives be employed in such a way that, if they always concentrate on the urgent we it forget over, what important?Thousands the people week is real, must have as much driven behind the edge steam laundry buildings on the corner Barry Hertzog of the avenue and the Napier road as volatile view outside. With the actual laundry, which is long since closed, could some have visited, in order to do business with one of the small dealers - schmiede, carpenters and furniture Repairers - which let run from the place of assembly for the last 27 years. Few can have known history behind the place of assembly and the buildings on it. Even less can the world intelligence of some aspects of the Design and the structure of the buildings estimated have, in order to accommodate, which, into the early 1900s, a new technology was. The complex nevertheless encased an amazing history in, which was a part of the history of this moved winning city. Now the buildings, another example man�s of the having craze are gone and by considered supplies flouting the law land.Charles van Onselen (�Studies to the social and restaurant history of the Witwatersrand � �New 1886-1914 Nineveh�) a fascinating history of the development of capitalism to South Africa. �The South African transition to capitalism � like the fact that other where - therefore was of the contradictions full and conflicts and its cities was capable of the opening as well as closing the economic avenues, and it published certainly ever more than one way or out into the Arbeitsclass�. A chapter, which illustrates this statement and amazing detail of this transition supplies, is on �AmaWasha� �, which seemed the zulu washermen�s to Zuenft of the Witwatersrand.The AmaWasha in the early 1870s in birth by the low washermen�s caste of �Dhobis� to have emerged those to birth emigrated was begun and to practice its traditional occupation � �the commercial cleaning of clothes�. Local zulus were fast to recognize the opportunity to acquire an income of such work also faster and evenly, in order to seize on the opportunity, those the newer discovery of the gold on the Witwatersrand represented, accompanied, as it was by fast growth and service necessities. Up to the 1890 van Onselen were recordings, there already pairs of one hundred AmaWasha, which had even accepted turban �Dhobi�, at the work in the Braamfontein Spruit for the north of the winning camp. Up to 1896 gave it over 1,200 washermen found with eight or more places of assembly, whose main part seemed in the Richmond range to have been concentrated that, which supplied �by far well developed from the sites�.the owners eight wooden was and who iron structures, to some of to accommodate washermen and a small building, in which the laundry could be surely stored overnight.� in October 1895, the washing places of assembly became closed by the health examiners after a duerre in this year, which resulted in generally contamination of the work of places. 1896 were inevitably appointed sub-committee of the Johannesburg of health board, in order to examine long-term solutions for general cleaning. Since one would expect, the process provided an opportunity for capitalist promotion and corruption with the legal interests, which try, to steer the process to their own interests was actually created even as far away as Witbank as well as to begin mechanized processes in the opposition to labor intensive �AmaWasha�.The first the dampfwaescherei before 1895/6, while the Auckland park Steam Laundry company in June 1896 �with a registered capital of 12 500� one swam (Sterling zerstoesst). This was set up the center of the AmaWasha activities on the Richmond condition, until they were forced to Witbank. It gives still some rock close to the canalized river on the place of assembly �, which the last natural section put out of the Amawasha site.The Saga over a number of years continued; a return from any AmaWasha to the city, then their dismantling to Klipspruit, the growth of the Chinese laundries and naturally the increasing technology. From its dismantling to Klipspruit, it notes van Onselen that �the urban district put long-term plans, in order to develop a durably separated community with Klipspruit�, which would perhaps be both largely self-supporting office income producing. �The idea of the separation, which is paying for white managers for by the separate enormous resemblance held. Up to 1906 had been put up an ironing area, enclosed in drying place of assembly and first of one hundred particularly sketched concrete washtubs with Klipspruit. With blind Ruthlessness and varying cynicism the advice prepared, to shift washermen for that last mark � this times to an uneconomic washing place of assembly, which divided its attitude with the urban repetitions of drains works.�History! This mark is not imperial it a Korporation suitably specified, that�with blind Ruthlessness and varying cynicism� straight the last local examples steam driven industry destroyed, but crushes to a place, in which South African history gathered: the fight of the poor people to acquire to an honest life; Colonial separation; Indifference; Transfer; Distinction; Lack of compassion and the any decay of the AmaWasha.So, how this could happen? After all have we good legislation in the form of the national inheritance operational fund act of 1999, to that the preamble among other things contains this fine of words: �This legislation aims off to promote good management of the national condition to make possible and energize and communities, their legacy, so that it can be bequeathed to the future generations��our inheritance is singularly and plentifully and it helps not to be renewed�..It to nourish and to conserve not be able us to define our cultural identity and therefore nation��it to establish deepens our understanding of society��.�Well, history seems to be because of the heart of our mental well-being and the energy, ours is has that the imperial group, by its characteristic company, specifically bought the place of assembly in March 2006 for the structure of a showroom. The preceding owners obviously warned it that this was an inheritance place of assembly; the Parktown and Westcliff inheritance familiarly (PWHT) and know the value of the place of assembly and which represented it, request the place of assembly, in order to be �provisionally�, who was protected in the national inheritance operational fund act of 1999 and the provinziellen inheritance operational fund agency by Gauteng (PHRAG) expressed message to this effect in the provinziellen newspaper by September 20 2006 gave. PWHT raised also an objection to each possible Rezoning of the place of assembly for the movement showroom purposes. A reporter, who covered the acquisition at the time, became of someone by imperial the fact that she weren�t interested in holding old building �, which her first to demolieren and which would risk fine, �It�s only the R10 000.� explains company�s the attorneys refused that this note and indicated that their clients the national inheritance operational funds function completely considered and that they did not have an intention of doing everything, that for the Act!On Wednesday January 9. , on the way, the roof covering would contrary-act preparations of this yearly for demolition was stripped.
