Abstract
ABSTRACT Ikalafeng, kgosi of the Bahurutshe ba ga Moiloa at Dinokana since 1877, hoped to get British support to rid his people of Boer domination and engaged in acts of defiance against the Boers. Early in 1882 a Boer commando, accompanied by General Piet Joubert, the commandant-general of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, moved against the inhabitants of Dinokana, disarmed them, forced them to dismantle the fortifications around Dinokana and use the stones to build a ‘peace memorial’ (vredeskoppie), and imposed a heavy fine on them, which resulted in the loss of 20 per cent of their livestock. They were humiliated and impoverished, and did not recover from this setback. This article analyses Afrikaans-language narratives of these events written during the twentieth century from a pro-Boer perspective to show how they contributed to the mythology of apartheid.
摘要Ikalafeng，自1877年以来一直是Dinokana的Bahurutshe ba ga Moiloa的首领，他希望得到英国的支持，以摆脱他的人民对布尔人的统治，并参与反抗布尔人的行动。1882年初，一支布尔人突击队在祖伊德-南非荷兰语共和国总司令皮特·茹伯特将军的陪同下，对迪诺卡纳的居民采取行动，解除他们的武装，迫使他们拆除迪诺卡纳周围的防御工事，并用石头建造一座“和平纪念碑”（vredeskoppie），这导致他们损失了20%的牲畜。他们受到羞辱，一贫如洗，没有从这次挫折中恢复过来。本文从亲布尔人的角度分析了20世纪写的关于这些事件的南非荷兰语叙事，以展示它们是如何促成种族隔离神话的。
