ProposalDescription: 

Serial nomination for the declaration of the historical sites associated with the University of Fort Hare. The establishment of Lovedale and later the University of Fort Hare on land granted by Chief Tyali in turn to establishing a place of learning for Africans as early as the 1800s was unprecedented on the sub-continent. During this period South Africa was still in the throes of colonial expansion and British annexation of parts of the Eastern Cape during the Frontier Wars. Chief Tyali’s donation of land to Scottish missionaries came between these Frontier Wars, the primary purpose of which was land dispossession. In addition to education, part of the reasoning in granting the land was an attempt to gain knowledge into the workings of the colonial system.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The establishment of Lovedale and later the University of Fort Hare on land granted by Chief Tyali in turn to establishing a place of learning for Africans as early as the 1800s was unprecedented on the sub-continent. During this period South Africa was still in the throes of colonial expansion and British annexation of parts of the Eastern Cape during the Frontier Wars. Chief Tyali’s donation of land to Scottish missionaries came between these Frontier Wars, the primary purpose of which was land dispossession. In addition to education, part of the reasoning in granting the land was an attempt to gain knowledge into the workings of the colonial system. Therefore, the legacy of Chief Tyali and the history of these two institutions and their contribution to South Africa are intertwined. The grave site of Chief Tyali is a tangible representation of the contribution he has made to the education of Africans and great African leaders through his own insightful and visionary leadership.
