Personal points of view of a Christian Afrikaner (Calvinist) from working class Persoonlike siening van ‘n Afrikaner-nasionalis (Calvinis) uit die werkersklas Book is bilingual – English and Afrikaans (two reasons) Boek is tweetalig – Engels en Afrikaans (twee redes)

In this way it becomes clear whether a problem is only at the level of infrastructure (and thus easy to solve); whether it is a superstructure problem (more advanced, but still capable of solution without too many problems, even in a diverse community); and whether it is a problem of ideostructure (and therefore fundamental in nature)

Figure 1.1: The thought framework (Goudappel, 1980:486)

The action framework (figure 1.2) is subdivided into three levels – those of examination, policy and planning (Goudappel, 1980:486).

Figure 1.2: The action framework (Goudappel, 1980:486) 77

Hiermee word dit duidelik of ’n probleem bloot op infrastruktuur-vlak lê (en dus eenvoudig is om op te los); of ’n superstruktuur-probleem is (al meer gevorderd, maar steeds moontlik om selfs in ’n diverse gemeenskap op te los sonder te veel probleme); en of dit ’n ideostruktuur-probleem (en dus fundamenteel van aard) is.

Figuur 1.1: Die denkkader (Goudappel, 1980:486)

Die handelingsraamwerk (figuur 1.2) word weer onderverdeel in die drie vlakke van ondersoek, beleid en beplanning (Goudappel, 1980:486).

RATIONAL TRADITION COMES AFTER THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientists and mathematicians that ever lived. He was born in England on December 25, 1643. RASIONELE TRADISIE KOM NA DIE WETENSKAPLIKE REVOLUSIE Isaac Newton was een van die grootste wetenskaplikes en wiskundiges wat ooit geleef het. Hy is in Engeland op 25 Desember 1643 gebore.

According to Klosterman (1978:37) modernist city planning in the USA and Britain was shaped by two important intellectual traditions dating from the previous era, these being the rational tradition and the reformist tradition.

Volgens Klosterman (1978:37) is die modernistiese stadsbeplanning in die VSA en Brittanje deur die twee belangrike intellektuele tradisies van die vorige era, naamlik die rasionele tradisie en die hervormingstradisie, gevorm.

Reformation (from Latin

reformatio, lit.

"restoration, renewal").

Protestant Reformation

saw worldly work as a

duty which benefits both

the individual and society

as a whole (Luther,

Calvin and Synod of

Dordrecht 1618–1619) –

the Protestant work

ethos

Hervorming (van Latyn

reformatio, let. “herstel,

vernuwe”)

Protestantse Hervorming

sien werk as ‘n plig tot

voordeel van die individu

en gemeenskap in

geheel (Luther, Calvyn

and Sinode van

Dordrecht 1618–1619) –

Protestantse werksetos.

The Reformation gave the West:

the notion of separation between Church and

State,

the principle of “sphere sovereignty”,

stress on educating the masses and

empowering women by the legalization of divorce

(p. 92)

Die Hervorming gee aan die Weste

die idee van skeiding tussen staat en kerk,

die beginsel van “soewereiniteit in eie kring”

beklemtoon die opvoeding van die bevolking en

bemagtiging van vroue deur die egskeiding toe te

laat (p.93))

Capitalism is based on the assumption

that in a competitive free market,

no participant is in the position to

dominate the market. Unfortunately

externalities influence

the markets.

In terms of responsibility it is : Every man

for himself, and the devil take the rest.

Kapitalisme is gebaseer op die aanname

dat in ‘n mededingende vrye mark geen

deelnemer instaat is om die mark te

domineer nie. Ongelukkig is daar baie

eksterne invloede wat die mark verwring.

In terme van verantwoordelikheid is dit: Elke

man vir homself en die duiwel vir die res.

Communism is built on sand. Karl Marx was a

hypocrite. His philosophy is based on the idea that

all people will do their best for the benefit of the

state but some people are lazy, liars, thieves and

others just parasites and won’t do it.

In terms of responsibility: It takes the responsibility

away from the individual and give it to the state that

must provide.

Communism believes what is yours, is mine, while

Christianity believes what is mine is yours.

Kommunisme is op sand gebou. Karl Marx was ’n

huigelaar. Sy filosofie is gebaseer op die idee dat

alle mense hul bes sal doen tot voordeel van die

gemeenskap, maar sommige is lui, leuenaars, diewe

en ander is net parasiete en sal nie iets doen nie.

Wat verantwoordelikheid betref: Kommunisme neem

individuele verantwoordelikheid weg en gee dit vir

die staat wat moet voorsien.

Kommunisme glo wat joune is, is myne terwyl

Christene glo dat wat myne is, is joue.

not solve South Africa’s problems through liberalism or radicalism.

Die twee kinders van humanisme, naamlik kapitalisme en

kommunisme gaan nie SA se problem oplos

Modern man’s vision is manipulated from the cradle to the grave by the

media (especially television) and this erodes his judgment.

Die modern mens se siening word gemanipuleer van die wieg tot die

graf deur die media (veral televisie) en dit vermurwe sy oordeel.

Driven by man’s drive to achieve a

better standard of living, particularly in

materialistic terms.

Here the answer to the question,

“When is a person rich?” is very simple

– “When one has enough.” The

problem in modern society is of course:

How much is enough?

Aangespoor deur die mens se drif na ‘n

beter lewensstandaard veral op

materialistiese gebied.

Hier is die antwoord op die vraag “wanneer

is ‘n mens ryk?” heel eenvoudig – Wanneer

jy genoeg het.” Die probleem in die

moderne samelewing is natuurlik: Wat is

genoeg?

PARTICIPATION WITHOUT INSIGHT

LEADS TO PRONOUNCEMENTS

WITHOUT PROSPECTS

The realization that man is incapable of

solving all problems in this world is part of

planning. Humanity’s most notorious case

of public say in a participatory process was

also its worst fiasco. Pilate asked the

public, “Whether if the twain will ye that I

release unto you? They said, Barrabas.”

(Matt.27:21). The same people who a few

days before had cried “Hosanna!” now

demanded, “Let Him be crucified.”

INSPRAAK SONDER INSIG IS

UITSPRAAK SONDER UITSIG

Die besef van die mens se onvermoë om

alle probleme in hierdie wêreld op te los, is

deel van beplanning. Die wêreld se

bekendste inspraakproses was ook sy

grootste “fiasko”. Pilatus het vir die volk

gevra: “Wie van die twee wil julle hê moet

ek vir julle loslaat? Hulle antwoord,

Barrabas.” (Mattheus27:21). Dieselfde

mense wat ’n paar dae tevore “Hosanna!”

uitgeroep het, skreeu nou “Kruisig Hom.”

KOLONIALISME IN

SUID-AFRIKAANSE

GESKIEDENIS EN BEPLANNING.

My progenitor, Douw Gerbrand

Steijn, born in Leeuwarden, came to

Cape Town in 1668 in service of the

VOC to fill the position of master

builder of the Castle (Theal,

1897:95). (His name is to be seen

on the bronze plate at the entrance

to the Castle). He was not a

colonist, but just an ordinary worker

for a multi-national company

conducting business with the East.

With regard to the Steÿns, they had

taken a liking to the country and

when the contract with the VOC

was completed, Douw Gerbrand

Steijn and his family stayed in the Cape as free burghers. Douw Gerbrand Steijn, gebore in

Leeuwarden, het in 1668 as

ambagsman in diens van die VOC

na Kaapstad gekom waar hy die

meesterbouer van die Kasteel

geword het. (Theal, 1897:95). (Sy

naam verskyn op die brons plaatjie

by die ingang van die Kasteel). Hy

was geen kolonis nie, maar ‘n

doodgewone werker vir ‘n multi-

nasionale bedryf wat handel met die

Ooste gedryf het en hier ‘n

verversingstasie vir sy matrose wou

oprig. Die Steÿns het van die land

gehou en nadat die VOC-kontrak

verstryk het het Douw Gerbrand

Steijn en sy familie as Vryburgers in

die Kaap aangebly.

The Afrikaners were the first nation in Africa to throw of the yoke of colonialism in

Africa. They might also be the first to people to fight for the group rights. This might

be the beginning of a free Africa on cultural rights, not on the boundaries of the old

colonial powers.

Die Afrikaner was die eerste volk in Afrika wat die juk van kolonialisme afgegooi het.

Hul mag ook die eerste volk wees wat veg vir groepsregte. Dit mag dan die begin

wees van ‘n vrye Afrika wat op kulturele regte gegrond is en nie op die grense van die

ou koloniale magte nie.

Each time a civilization

changes from one type of

living environment to

another can we bridge the

gap? Our society shows

serious signs of decay:

• community and family

• higher education

• science and technology

• governmental

representation

• self regulation of the

learned professions

Elke keer as ‘n beskawing

verandering ondervind van

een tipe lewensomgewing

na ‘n ander kan ons die

gaping oorbrug? Ons

same-lewing vertoon

ernstige tekens van verval :

• gemeenskap en familie

• hoër onderwys

• wetenskap en

tegnologie

• regerings

verteenwoordiging

• self regulering deur die

geleerde professies

H 7 CONCLUSION / SLOT

A look at the future

One must simply do one’s bit –

every one of us - and accept

responsibility for one’s own

actions. We may pray that

things improve but we must also

devise plans to change

circumstances. Creative thought

and creative action are required

to achieve new solutions for the

future.

Blik op die toekoms

Ons moet elkeen net sy deel

doen en verantwoordelikheid

aanvaar vir ons eie aksies. Ons

kan bid dat dinge ten goede

moet verander maar ons moet

ook planne maak om

omstandighede te verander.

Hier sal kreatief gedink en

gewerk moet word om nuwe

oplossings vir die toekoms te

realiseer.

If planning is aimed at arranging society, does it mean put in order, arrange, give guidance or is it programme, organize or control? Any answer that may be given concerning these possibilities claims to know what the origin and aim of man and space is.

As beplanning daarop gerig is om die maatskappy te orden, beteken dit in orde stel, rangskik, leiding gee, of is dit programmeer, organiseer of beheer? Enige antwoord wat op die moontlikhede gegee kan word, maak aanspraak om te weet wat die oorsprong en doel van mens en ruimte is.

IDEOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY:

• For the Humanist: Towards man (indvidual or group) /

Vir die Humanis: Teenoor mens (individu of groep)

• For the Rationalist: Towards science /

Planning should be aimed at creating the conditions for man and society to: • Feel called and be led to greater responsibility, • Greater freedom to develop as a unique being and to look for

possibilities, and • Allow a climate to develop in which man can develop, through

creativity, a rich variety of spatial uses that are in harmony.

Beplanning moet vir die mens en samelewing die voorwaardes te skep om: • Tot groter verantwoordelikheid geroep te voel en gelei te word, • Tot groter vryheid om na eie aard te ontwikkel en moontlikhede te

soek, en • 'n Klimaat te laat ontstaan waarin die mens deur kreatiwiteit 'n ryke

verskeidenheid van ruimtelike gebruike wat in harmonie verkeer, ontwikkel.

Christians have the consoling

thought that God is in ultimate

control and not the ANC or Zuma or

the world’s corporations. One must

accept responsibility for one’s own

actions. We may pray that things

improve but we must also devise

plans to change circumstances.

Creative thought and creative action

are required to achieve new

solutions for the future.

Christene het die troos dat God in

beheer is en nie die ANC of Zuma of

internasionale bedrywe nie. Ons

moet elkeen net sy deel doen en ver-

antwoordelikheid aanvaar vir ons eie

aksies. Ons kan bid dat dinge ten

goede moet verander maar ons moet

ook planne maak om omstandighede

te verander. Hier sal kreatief gedink

en gewerk moet word om nuwe

oplossings vir die toekoms te

realiseer
