Malan

As a schoolboy at the age of thirteen, Magnus Malan had already run away to join what was then the Union Defence Force. This was to no avail, of course, but ever since he was permitted to join the Physical Training Battalion in 1946, for a period of some 45 years, his career and life has been closely entwined with the South African Defence Force. Malan's military career took him to many places in Southern Africa: Robben Island, the former South West Africa, where the Territorial Force was charged with protecting the South African Mandate territory, to the Military Academy in Saldanha and the Castle in Cape Town. As Chief of the Army and later Chief of the Defence Force he was closely involved in South Africa's incursion into Angola in 1975 and 1976, and also in many cross-border operations in the years thereafter. Malan then entered politics, and will be particularly remembered as Minister of Defence during the troubled 1980s. Malan offers a brief account of the influence that political developments in Southern Africa since 1960 had on the structures and functions of the South African Defence Force; on the successes of Armscor, and on South Africa's nuclear arms capability. He also provides valuable context for a period of many political and military events; a period of immense importance to the present generation and their descendants, but which has become almost forgotten. The title pays tribute to all those who contributed to the successes of the South African Defence Force and Armscor in a critical era of our history. Hardcover, 509 pages.  Published 2006 General Magnus Andr de Merindol Malan SSA SD OMSG SM MP (30 January 1930 18 July 2011)  was the Minister of Defence in the cabinet of President P. W. Botha, Chief of the South African Defence Force (SADF) and Chief of the South African Army. He died peacefully at home on Monday 18 July 2011

Magnus Malan het reeds as 13-jarige skoolseun weggeloop om by die destydse Unieverdedigingsmag aan te sluit. Dit was natuurlik tevergeefs, maar sedert hy in 1946 wel by die liggaamlike opleidingsbrigade kon aansluit, was sy loopbaan en lewe vir bykans 42 jaar onherroeplik met die Suid-Afrikaanse Weermag vervleg. Malan se militere loopbaan het hom na verskillende plekke in Suider-Afrika geneem - na Robbeneiland, na die toenmalige Suidwes-Afrika waar die SA Weermag die Suid-Afrikaanse mandaatgebied moes beskerm, na die Militere akademie op Saldanha, na die Kasteel in Kaapstad. As Hoof van die Leer en later as Hoof van die Weermag is hy ten nouste betrokke by Suid-Afrika se inval in Angloa in 1975 en talle oorgrensoperasies in die dekade wat daarop volg. Malan tree ook toe tot die politiek en sal veral onthou word as Minister van Verdediging in die 1980's. Malan lewer op bondige wyse verslag oor die invloed wat politieke verwikkelinge in Suider-Afrika sedert 1960 op die strukture en funksies van die Suid-Afrikaanse Weermag gehad het; oor die suksesse van Krygkor en oor Suid-Afrika se kernwapenvermoe. Hy verskaf waardevolle konteksgegewens van 'n tydperk volgeprop met staatkundige en militere gebeure; 'n tydperk wat buitengewone betekenis vir hierdie geslag en die nageslag het, maar wat tans byna vergete geraak het.

DF Malan and the Rise of Afrikaner Nationalism - Lindie Koorts - Tafelberg -pp, indexed, black and white photographs - Paperback. Postage & packaging R Yet, when Malan was asked on his deathbed about the most important service he had rendered during his political career, he answered, ‘that I could serve my nation; that I could unite my people’. This biography tries to understand this dichotomy: how a man who earnestly sought to unite and to protect a people could also contribute to a legacy that continues to scar a country. The book introduces the reader to Malan the man: the shy, bookish young boy, the distracted intellectual who once left home with his slippers on, the uncertain lover and the thinker who spent hours preparing his speeches, first for church sermons and then for parliamentary debates. The rise in Afrikaner nationalism in the years after the Anglo-Boer War offers the backdrop to Malan’s personal and political life. This growing movement spurs him on to leave the church to become editor of  Die Burger  and provincial leader of the National Party. This book therefore also offers a gripping behind-the-scenes account of Afrikaner nationalist politics. Not only for history buffs, this is a fresh account of an old history.

Subtitle: En Die Opkoms van Afrikaner-Nasionalisme Author: Lindie Koorts Publisher: Tafelberg Publishers Ltd () ISBN-10: X ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 492 Dimensions: 22 x 15.4 x 3.1 cm +++ by Lindie Koorts +++ In het die NG dominee D.F. Malan die Nasionale Party tot politieke oorwinning gelei. Vir die meeste Afrikaners was dit die verwesenliking van 'n jare lange droom. Om Malan as mens te verstaan, is om te verstaan hoe die Afrikaners hulself uit die as van die Anglo-Boereoorlog in 'n nasie omskep het.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales.

AMAZING  HARDCOVER BOOK  WRITTEN BY FRANCOIS MALAN SOME OF THE CONTENT HEADINGS: THE ALLURE OF KRUGER'S GOLD WAR-TIME PRODUCTION OF GOLD  AND THE MISSING OUNCES ESCAPING ALONG THE  DELGOA BAY RAILWAY LINE THE WONDERING GOVERNMENT AND THEIR GOLD WHERE IS THE GOLD?     GET THIS GREAT OFFER NOW   AT THE RELEASE PRICE OF R 750 ---------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRACT FROM THE CHAPTER TITLED GOLD  PRODUCTION IN THE  ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD CHANGED THE FORTUNES OF THE TRANSVAAL. THE FIRST DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN 1872 AT THE EERSTELING GOLD FIELD IN THE PIETERSBURG GREENSTONE BELT (CLOSE TO MODERN DAY POLOKWANE). THIS WAS FOLLOWED IN 1873 BY THE DISCOVERY OF ALLUVIAL GOLD AT PILGRIM'S REST AND SURROUNDING AREAS. AN INTERESTING CONNECTION BETWEEN PILGRIM'S REST AND THE KRUGER MILLIONS IS DESCRIBED IN A LATER CHAPTER. THESE EARLY GOLD DISCOVERIES SLIGHTLY IMPROVED THE FINANCES OF THE ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK AND EVEN ALLOWED PRESIDENT THOMAS BURGERS TO STRIKE THE FIRST GOLD PONDE FOR THE REPUBLIC 1874. UNFORTUNATELY, BY 1876, HE WAS UNPOPULAR AND THE REPUBLIC WAS SLIDING INTO BANKRUPTCY. THE UPRISING OF THE NATIVE TRIBE, PARTICULARLY THE PEDI TRIBE UNDER CHIEF SEKUKUNI, ALSO CAUSED SECURITY CONCERNS AMONGST THE BURGHERS. THIS ALLOWED BRITAIN TO ANNEX THE TRANSVAAL WITHOUT A SHOT BEING FIRED ON THE 12 APRIL 1877. DURING THIS PERIOD OF POLITICAL TURMOIL, PAUL KRUGER ROSE TO PROMINENCE. HE WAS ONE OF THE THREE LEADERS AT THE HISTORIC PAARDEKRAAL ASSEMBLY WHERE 6,000 BURGHERS PLEDGED TO REGAIN THE INDEPENDENCE OF THEIR REPUBLIC. THE PAARDEKRAAL MONUMENT IN KRUGERSDORP WAS LATER ERECTED AT THIS HISTORIC SITE. THE RESULTING FIRST WAR OF INDEPENDENCE BROKE OUT ON THE 16 DECEMBER 1880 AND ON THE 26 FEBRUARY 1881 THE BRITISH SUFFERED A HUMILIATING DEFEAT AT THE BATTLE OF AMAJUBA. IN 1883, PAUL KRUGER WAS ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE TRANSVAAL AND HE RETAINED THIS PRESIDENCY DURING THE NEXT THREE ELECTIONS. AFTER THE TRANSVAAL REGAINED INDEPENDENCE, A FURTHER GOLD DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN THE BARBERTON AREA IN 1883. THE RESULTING ECONOMIC BOOM IN THE AREA RESULTED IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STOCK EXCHANGE. SOME EXCEPTIONAL GOLD DISCOVERIES WERE MADE AND THE FIRST 50 TONS OF ORE AT THE FAMOUS GOLDEN QUARRY PRODUCED NEARLY 300 OUNCES OF GOLD. THE BARBERTON GOLD FIELD PRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 252,553 KG OF GOLD FOR THE PERIOD 1883 TO 1983. THIS IMPORTANT DISCOVERY WAS NEVERTHELESS SOON DWARFED BY PRODUCTION IN THE WITWATERSRAND BASIN.
