The Kafir College was established as an Industrial Institution for the Instruction of the children of Native Chiefs and their Councillors at Bishop's Court, (1) the home of Bishop Gray in Claremont, in February, 1858. This experiment in education was the realization of the vision of two leading personalities of the time - Bishop Gray, the Metropolitan of the Anglican Church in South Africa (2) and Sir George Grey, Governor and High Commissioner of the Cape Colony. (3) The College was the combined venture of the Church and the British Government. They shared the financial responsibilities and when Zonnebloem, (4) a wine Term on the outskirts of Cape Town, was bought as a permanent site for the Institution in 1859, they both contributed towards the purchase price. Zonnebloem College came into being the following year when the students took up residence in their new quarters. The property, after first being transferred to Sir George Grey, was subsequently received back by Bishop Gray and it has been held in trust by the Lord Bishop of Cape Town ever since. The history of Zonnebloem can be divided into a number of distinct periods. While the College has functioned as an Educational Institution up to the present day, its purpose has changed at intervals over the years. It has altered direction and varied the scope of its work in order to meet the differing educational needs of the time. The student enrolment, too, has changed with time, for the College has of necessity been compelled to comply with the requirements of Government legislation 2016-08-18T13:56:07Z 2016-08-18T13:56:07Z 1975 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21344 eng application/pdf application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
