The Kimberley Story by St e v e Lu nde r st e dt
The title evokes thoughts of the early days, of boisterous diggers in one of the many saloons and pubs that studded the winding roads of the canvas and corrugated iron diamond town, swigging draughts and singing along with, dare one say it, scantily clad womenfolk. Great fun indeed, these early days of New Rush on the farm Vooruitzicht, except for the fact that the Colonial Secretary detested both the term New Rush – too vulgar – and Vooruitzicht – he could hardly spell it, let alone pronounce it! So the problem of renaming the town was passed to Richard Southey, then Lt-Governor of Griqualand West, who in turn, passed it on to John Blades Currey, the government secretary. A very worthy diplomat, Currey made very sure that the Colonial Secretary would be able to spell and pronounce the new name chosen for the town, by naming it after the secretary himself, Kimberley! The name was obviously approved by His Lordship, so Kimberley was born, but it can be certain that the diggers did not care two hoots at the time.

The new name was proclaimed on 5 July 1873, although the township was founded in 1871. The story of naming Kimberley is fairly well known, but what is not well known is who the Earl of Kimberley was, and what did he do that even today his name is as well remembered as that of his monarch, Queen Victoria? John Wodehouse was born in Wymondham, Norfolk, on 29 May 1826, the eldest son of Harry and Anne Wodehouse, and a relative of Sir Philip Wodehouse, Governor of the Cape Colony 1861-1870. At the age of 20, while still a student at Oxford University, he inherited his grandfather’s title of Baron Wodehouse, his father having predeceased him. Five years later he was appointed Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, holding this post from 1852 to 1856, after which he became the British Ambassador to Russia. In 1858 he resumed his former position until his promotion to Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1864, a post he held for two years. Queen Victoria conferred an Earldom upon him in 1869. He and his wife, the former Lady Florence Fitzgibbon, were living at their country estate, called Kimberley House, in the village of Kimberley in Norfolk, hence the choice of title. The name Kimberley is derived from the Anglo Saxon word Cynburgh-leah, which means “women were entitled to own land”. Two years later Lord Kimberley became a member of Gladstone’s first cabinet and from 1870 he served as Secretary for the Colonies. As his appointment coincided with the discovery of diamonds on the ‘dry diggings’ he was prominent in the dispute over the ownership of Griqualand West, and the negotiations for its annexation as British territory. Although he resigned his post in 1874, he was reappointed by Gladstone as Colonial Secretary from 1880-1882, one of his major feats during the period being the peace settlement after the battle of Majuba in 1881. He lived long enough to hear about the siege and relief of the town named after him and died on 8 April 1902.

The Ghost Trail Tour T i m e to becom e spe ll- bou nd
Death on the diamond diggings and later during the Anglo-Boer War, gave Kimberley many haunted corners. So too did failed romance and other downright gory deaths, like a huge fire in the old De Beers Mine in which hundreds of miners perished. Today, the shivering facts and fallacies about ghostly visitations are packed in a fun and entertaining guided ghost trail. Kimberley has many genuine stories of ghost sightings in haunted places. The trail starts at the imposing Honoured Dead Memorial. Heart-stopping facts - and fallacies - about ghostly visitations in the Diamond City are revealed during this entertaining guided night-time tour of Kimberley. Guides lead you to some of the reputedly haunted corners of

Kimberley. Some places visited could include the Kimberley Club, Rhodes’ Boardroom and Rudd House - an archetypal haunted house. The tour ends just before the clock announces the bewitching hour at the grave of the Frankensteins in the Gladstone Cemetery. There are several alternative Ghost tours available, including the recently launched Big Hole Ghost Walk as well as a visit to Magersfontein battlefield at night where perhaps one may see the swinging lanterns of the stretcher bearers and hear the ghostly bagpipes. Several battlefield graveyards are also visited on this unique tour. 1. Kimberley Club. 2. Cecil Rhodes’ De Beers Mining Company Boardroom. 3. Rudd House. 4. Frankenstein’s grave. 5.

Kimberley’s brief history is but a fleeting blip in a local pageant which, as archaeologists have shown, reaches back deep into the past. An introductory sweep through 3 million years of Northern Cape history - in fact, the story of humanity itself - is the subject matter of a comprehensive display at the McGregor Museum, called Ancestors. From here visitors may venture on to sites such as the Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Centre, where hundreds of rock engravings, more than a thousand years old, can be viewed. The centre doubles up as the premier outlet for contemporary !Xun and Khwe San arts and crafts.
Canteen Kopje, and the Barkly West Museum, further out from Kimberley, tell the story of the early alluvial diamond diggings which also revealed one of the world’s most impressive Stone Age handaxe sites, possibly more than a million years old. An awesomely long sequence of human occupation, and record of cultural development, is documented by excavations at Wonderwerk Cave, near Kuruman. This huge cave extends 140m into the hillside and dates back nearly two million years. This is the oldest evidence on earth for the use of a cave by human ancestors, making this one of the world’s most phenomonal sites.

From diamond magnates Sir Ernest Oppenheimer and Cecil Rhodes to Kimberley greats Sol Plaatje and Bernard Klisser; from diamond sorting houses to diamond mining memorials; the famous Kimberley Club to the original Kimberley Public Library. If you have a tourist guide you’ll hear of many tales of QUEENS individualsPARK such as Old Cockolorum Jones and World War I flying ace Cam Kiddie, and where rugby was first organized in the country, to Mrs Jardine and her illustrious hotel, and much more besides. A fine mixture of architecture, characters, with a bit of myth and legend… the Eldorado Trail is all about where Kimberley first sprang into sudden prominence in the world.

Sol Plaatje
Discover the history of Kimberley through the eye of a Tswana, Griqua or San person, all three indigenous to the region. A mixture of first and third world, the tour takes you through historic Kimberley in the footsteps of one of the greatest Africans of last century, Solomon T. Plaatje, and where better to start than at his own house, now the Sol Plaatje Museum. Plaatje, famous for his literary efforts as an author and newspaperman, was also the first Secretary-General of the ANC. A great orator, Plaatje travelled extensively around the world. After Plaatje House, it’s on to the McGregor Museum for the Ancestor’s Gallery, a drive around historical Greenpoint and Beaconsfield, and then, it’s lunch at Rhodes’ watering hole, the Halfway House Hotel. Time to continue the Plaatje trail by visiting pertinent historical sites of black cultural interest. First, the William Humphreys Art Gallery, one of South Africa’s top art museums to view modern African art (and some old masters), then the largest collection of ethnographic photographs at the Duggan-Cronin Gallery adjacent to the McGregor Museum, and finally, the Northern Cape Legislative Assembly. Continuing the trail of Sol Plaatje, we will take you to Galeshewe No 2, one of Kimberley’s historic townships where a tavern, Robert Sobukwe’s house, and other interesting sites will be visited. A visit to a traditional Tswana hut is a must before visiting Sol Plaatje’s grave to pay your respects.

Battlefields Route
The Anglo Boer South African War began on 11 October 1899, and within four days Kimberley was besieged by Boer soldiers. The unforgiving circle of Boers trapped the citizens of the town, including diamond magnate Cecil John Rhodes, who had taken up residence in the Sanatorium (now the McGregor Museum). The siege was to last 124 days, over the hottest period of the year, and placed a great burden of boredom, ever-diminishing food and water, and danger from bombardment upon the towns-people. In the last weeks of the siege, food was rationed, and sickness was taking its toll. It was deemed imperative to break the hold of the Boers on the town. To do this meant that British troops had to be moved smartly up from the south, using the existing railway, to Kimberley. The journey was not without its battles, as the Boer troops moved along the line to meet the British forces. At the Battles of Belmont, Graspan (Enslin) and Modder River, both forces gave a good account of themselves, but the Boers elected to fall back towards Magersfontein Ridge, where they entrenched. The citizens of Kimberley, knowing that the British were coming, waited anxiously for relief. Early on 11 December 1899, they knew that a heavy battle was under way. They did not know that the Boers would defeat the British, causing them to retreat to their Modder River encampment. Kimberley would have to wait until 15 February 1900 before General French and his cavalry charged through Boer lines to relieve the town. The battlefields are largely unchanged from the days of the war. Field displays explain each battle, and the roads are well

sign-posted. Magersfontein, the site of the heaviest battle, boasts an interesting field museum, and includes something for the bird and animal lover as well. A restaurant provides refreshments. The story of the Relief of Kimberley is told in the Siege Rooms at the McGregor Museum.

Canteen Koppie is a treasure of archaelogical finds as well as being the richest alluvial site from the 1860s.
3. HONOURED DEAD MEMORIAL and LONG CECIL The largest Anglo-Boer War monument in the world, the memorial is designed by Sir Herbert Baker and is a tomb to 27 British soldiers. The world-famous Long Cecil gun stands on the stylobate.
