Abstract
The pro-Boer writer and anti-war activist, J.A. Hobson, argued in 1901 that
missionaries, with their “long-standing feud against Afrikaners”, were the
mainspring of the South African churches’ support for war against the Boers.
Missionaries had indeed resisted the establishment and continuing independence
of the Boer republics on the grounds of their policies towards
Blacks and missions.’ Among these, missionaries of the London Missionary
Society were the most outspoken. James Stewart, the eminent principal missionary
of Blythswood and Lovedale was no exception
