“…One only has to glance at the recent contributions to the South African Geographical Journal to notice an increased concern with an historical perspective in human geography (Christopher, 1982b;Pirie, 1982bPirie, , 1985Crush, 1984;Hart, 1984;Lincoln, 1984;Martin and Rogerson, 1984;Mabin, 1985;Tucker, 1985). However, these developments must be viewed as part of a general trend within the social sciences and human geography.…”

A paradigmatic shift is occuring in human geography in general, and historical geography in particular. The paper sets out to provide an overview of the nature and extent of this shift within South African historical geography. The philosophical and methodological parameters of the empiricist, humanist and social history approaches in historical geography are outlined and illustrated via examples of each approach. The treatment of time in each approach is highlighted. Structuration theory is presented, along with the methodology of time geography as a possible analytical framework in the social history genre.

“…Beer brewing in South Africa has a long tradition (Corne & Reyneke, 2013), with a distinctive history of the production of traditional African sorghum beer as documented by Rogerson (2019). The modern evolution of brewing beer in South Africa, specifically as an industrial activity, is largely associated with the operation of three enterprises, namely Ohlssons Cape Brewing Limited (established in 1882), Chandlers brewing (established in 1884) and, most importantly, South African Breweries Limited (established in 1889) (Tucker, 1985). A significant historical milestone in the South African brewing industry was the amalgamation of these three dominant brewing enterprises in 1956 into South African Breweries Limited (SAB) (Tucker, 1985).…”

Another critical moment was the merger in 2002 between SAB and the US Miller Brewing to form SABMiller (Mager, 2010).…”

The global rise of craft beer production and consumption has generated a growth of literature across a range of disciplines, including geography. One of the major concepts in explaining the emergence of craft beer landscapes is neo-localism. The largest segment of scholarly research relates to countries in the Global North. The case of South Africa is given as an example from the Global South of the burst of a craft beer culture and the emergence of an economy of craft beer. The aim in this paper is to investigate the evolution and organisation of the craft beer industry in South Africa and its neo-local manifestations. The analysis draws upon a national audit that was undertaken of the growth of micro-breweries in South Africa as well as semi-structured interviews which were conducted with craft beer entrepreneurs about the establishment, location and organisation of their businesses. It is demonstrated that neo-localism is an important influence upon the craft beer industry of South Africa

“…Christopher, 1984) has produced studies concerned mainly with general patterns of settlement (Christopher,~982; Guelke and Shell, 1983;Norton and Smit, 1977), with the impact of government policies (Christopher, 1983a;Pirie, 1984), with rural landscapes (Christopher, 1976) and with aspects of urban pattern and form (Christopher 1983b;Norton, 1979). The long-term growth and changing patterns of location of major economic institutions have not yet been examined in any detail, though there are signs that this want may soon be addressed (e.g., Tucker, 1985;Pirie, 1982). The geography of large enterprises has become a significant focus of research in the past decade Watts, 1980).…”

The resurgence of South African historical geography has, thus far, produced few studies of the major economic factors and their influence on the geography of the country. Large enterprises have long dominated the South African economy, among them the major banks. The paper examines the history of concentration of ownership in the hands of the imperial banks operating lfl the Cape Colony through a process involving the growth of a dispersed system of branches and the elimination of almost all local banks between 1837 and 1900.
