Extractions: People Profile The Xhosa Religion: Christianity Population: 6,734,000 (Operation World) Status: 25% African Traditional Religion Location: The Xhosa people are black Africans who are mostly known as cattle herders and live in beehive shaped huts in scattered homesteads ruled by chiefs. They live primarily in the Eastern Cape areas called Ciskei and Transkei. Xhosa are also found all over the Republic of South Africa in various occupations. History: The Xhosa were part of the gradual Bantu migration movement from southern Zaire in various directions to cover most of Africa south of the Sahara. They are descended from a clan of the Nguni. By 1600 the Xhosa people by that name were in the Eastern Cape and from 1705 there were periodic minor clashes with the sparse Boers (Dutch-Afrikaner farmers). As the number of Boers grew and they expanded further north and east from the Cape, clashes increased. As South Africa shifted politically between British and Dutch rule, clashes with the Xhosa grew in magnitude, as with the Zulu in the Natal area farther north. In British South Africa traditional areas of the Xhosa and other peoples were preserved as autonomous territories. These later became administrative districts of the Union of South Africa in 1910. The Union remained part of the British Empire and Commonwealth until after WW II. In the election of 1948, the Afrikaner National socialist party won control, restoring Afrikaner control to South Africa for the first time since the annexation of the Boer Republics by 1879. The Afrikaner government withdrew South Africa from the Commonwealth and imposed the segregation policy called "apartheid" (apart-ness).

Extractions: South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa, bordered on the north by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland; on the east and south by the Indian Ocean; and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Lesotho forms an enclave in the northeastern part of the country. The history of South Africa has been a history of conflict between its peoples. Now, the country faces a new challenge: The challenge to forgive the hatreds and injuries of the past; the challenge to join together to build a new future with freedom and opportunity for all. This new era has so far been remarkably peaceful and has surpassed all expectations. Population The Bantu peoples account for three quarters of the total population. White settlement began in 1652 with the arrival of the Dutch, who gradually spread into the interior as farmers. They developed their own language called Afrikaans, lived isolated lives, and increasingly segregated themselves from indigenous Bantu peoples, whom they encountered in the interior. French Huguenot and German settlers were later absorbed into this group, known as Afrikaners. In the early 1800s, British settlers began to arrive, and Indians came in the late 19th and early 20th century. The majority of Indians were brought as indentured laborers to work on the sugar plantations of Natal. A substantial Portuguese minority developed in the late 20th century. The intermarriage of these diverse peoples produced a large non-white population.

Extractions: For millennia the southern end of Africa, including what is today known as the Eastern Cape Province, was occupied by small egalitarian groups of aboriginal hunter gatherers whose enduring legacy consists of thousands of beautiful, and often enigmatic, rock paintings and superbly crafted stone implements. Khoikhoi pastoralists, whose legacy lives on in place names like Kieskamma, Kei and Tsitsikamma, also inhabited the area. Then about 2 000 years ago Nguni speaking people who were pastoralists and agriculturists arrived from the north, bringing with them a totally new way of life-farming into the hunting grounds of the aboriginal people usually known as the San.

http://www.aifw.org/confer/sadirecu.htm

Extractions: DIRECTORY ON ECUMENISM FOR SOUTHERN AFRICA (January 1998) PREAMBLE The Directory on Ecumenism requires that Diocesan Bishops and Episcopal Conferences issue norms of application for Dioceses and Conference territories. This does not mean rewriting the Directory which contains general norms which are universally applicable. However, in the territories covered by the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference Catholics form less than 7.2% (2,880,000)of the total population 39,820,000 (1995) which is approximately 70% Christian and in this context it is important that there be special norms for such a situation. (DE # 4,6,30,31) The Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation ECCLESIA IN AFRICA of Pope John Paul II quotes Proposition 40 of the Synod: "United to Jesus Christ by their witness in Africa, Catholics are invited to develop an ecumenical dialogue with all their baptised brothers and sisters of other Christian denominations, in order that the unity for which Christ prayed may be achieved, and in order that their service to the peoples of the continent may make the Gospel more credible in the eyes of those who are searching for God."

Directory on Ecumenism for Southern Africa Author: Bishops of Southern Africa Title: Directory on Ecumenism for Southern Africa Larger Work: Origins Pages: Catholic News Service, February 26, 1998 Description: The Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference (South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia) approved this faulty directory at their January meeting in Pretoria. PetersNet Editorial Note: This document betrays a serious misunderstanding and misapplication of the Church's norms on intercommunion, and is presented here mainly as an indication of how far local hierarchies can stray at times in response to local pressures. Directory on Ecumenism for Southern Africa In the spirit of the Gospel expressed in the prayer of Jesus "that all may be one" (Jn. 17:14), the search for Christian unity was one of the primary aims of the Second Vatican Council (Decree on Ecumenism, 1). The Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity issuing from the council then produced the Ecumenical Directory (1967 and 1970) and later drew up the Directory for the Application of the Principles and Norms on Ecumenism (1993). It is in this spirit and quest for Christian unity in the Catholic Church that this Directory on Ecumenism for Southern Africa has been prepared and promulgated by the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference. The Directory on Ecumenism requires that diocesan bishops and episcopal conferences issue norms of application for dioceses and conference territories. This does not mean rewriting the directory, which contains general norms which are universally applicable. However, in the territories covered by the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference, Catholics form less than 7.2 percent (2,880,000) of the total population 39,820,000 (1995), which is approximately 70 percent Christian, and in this context it is important that there be special norms for such a situation (Directory, 4, 6, 30, 3 1).
