SOURCE OF THIS EXTRACT: THE MEMOIRS OF
PAUL KRUGER TOLD BY HIMSELF
The commission appointed to take the protest to England consisted of
Dr. Jorissen and myself. We took Mr. W. E. Bok with us as secretary and left, in May 1877, for Port Elizabeth, thence to set sail for England. Shortly after our departure, Shepstone wrote to Lord Carnarvon, the then Colonial Secretary, stating that I myself had told him that, if the deputation failed, I would become a loyal subject of the new Government, even as I had been of the old. He also knew that Dr. Jorissen had declared that the annexation was inevitable and that its repeal would be a public misfortune. As far as I am concerned, I declare this statement to be absolutely untrue. I never told Shepstone this nor anything of the kind; moreover, my further actions of themselves give the lie to any such assertion.
On arriving in England, we found that the rumour had been spread, by means of newspapers and letters, including a letter of Dr. Jooste, of Potchefstroom, first published in the Zuid Afrikaan , that only a handful of irreconcilables, with myself at their head, had declared against the annexation. I denied this report with the greatest emphasis and said that it was easy to arrive at the truth by taking a plebiscite of the whole Republic, which would show for certain whether the majority were for or against the annexation. I personally wrote a letter in which I denied the imputation touching the “ handful of irreconcilables ” and suggested a plebiscite of the whole population. Dr. Jorissen had scruples against signing this letter, and I sent it alone, on my own
responsibility. The British Government rejected the proposal with the foolish statement that a vote of this kind would involve too much trouble and expense.

2010 ROBBEN ISLAND MEDAL
SOURCE OF THIS EXTRACT:
A LITERARY PILGRIMAGE TO ROBBEN ISLAND AS INSPIRED BY NELSON MANDELA’S “LONG WALK TO FREEDOM”? Dr Felicité Fairer-Wessels Department of Tourism Management, University of Pretoria , 0002. ’n Literêre pelgrimstog na Robbeneiland soos geïnspireer deur Nelson Mandela se “Long walk to freedom”?
”The Long walk to Freedom” (1994). The title in itself implies a pilgrimage, or long walk to reach a goal of “freedom”, a value inherent in humane and democratic societies. The “walk” or pilgrimage that Mandela undertook was primarily politically driven to attain or reach a “position or place” of freedom to be able to live and speak freely in an open society. A survey was done amongst a hundred adult tourists visiting Robben Island, World Heritage Site, in Cape Town, during the month of June 2004 to ascertain whether they were motivated to visit the Island after reading Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, “Long walk to freedom” in order to follow in the footsteps of Mandela, the living icon of South Africa that has, for some decades represented freedom and equality to the human race worldwide.
