My aim in this paper is to analyze J.M. Coetzee’s early novella “The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee,” included in his first book Dusklands (1974), focusing on the way it points to the inextricability between history and fiction in exploration narratives, and to the impossibility of giving an objective account of truth, free from the constraints of discourse and ideology. In order to do so, I will be paying attention to Hayden White’s and Michel de Certeau’s respective theoretical contributions on the writing of history, which indeed have many points in common with Coetzee’s fictional elaboration of this issue, and to primary exploration narratives Coetzee draws upon, such as Jacobus Coetzee’s original 1760 deposition and William Burchell’s Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa (1822, 1824).

Henry Kissinger's main contribution in Southern Africa appears to have been more in the realm of technique than of principle. Critics of the Kissinger era of American foreign policy will find little reason in Africa to stop their criticism. This is not to say there was no achievement. Perhaps that technique, which was refined in the Middle East before its export to Africa, will eventually prepare the way for principle in the Carter Administration. And perhaps not. Much depends on whether Kissinger's fast-moving diplomacy somehow preempted policy based on principle. That may be the price he had to pay South Africa's Vorster for making the "Kissinger Agreement" an immediate reality.

Being the church in Africa requires a continuous self-assessment by Christian denominations, asking whether it is sufficiently contextualised both in its doctrines and practices. This self-critique is essential so as to not perpetuate negative colonial influences in the way churches operate. The Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) has a rich history of challenging itself to become truly instrumental in working towards ‘A Christ-healed Africa for the healing of the nations’. This article explores the history of the MCSA’s engagement with its doctrine and practices of ordination, its journey of decolonisation and its presentation of an emerging Africanised theology of the presbytery.

SummaryThe Mashona cattle of Rhodesia are a strain of the Sanga type, which is found in specific areas of Central and Southern Africa. They are descended from protogenic Bos taurus, Bos indicus and Bos brachyceros cattle which were cross-bred in ancient times. in spite of the pandemics which ravaged herds at the turn of the last century, it seems that Mashona cattle have changed little since first brought to the country. An account is given of the Central African environment and the way it affects the physiological processes of cattle. Because Mashona cattle have lived in the Rhodesian environment for many centurites they are well adapted to it. A description is given of Mashona cattle which are being developed as a distinct breed in Rhodesia.
