Abstract
The transplantation of the church from the West into South Africa
through the work of missionary societies brought with it the
establishment of schools, which were regarded by their founders as
valuable instruments of evangelisation among Africans. The Dutch
Reformed Church (DRC) also adopted this approach and made
sure that its ventures at Bethesda Normal and Emmarentia
Geldenhuys schools were a success. This became evident in the
control and administration of both institutions. The intention of this
article is to examine how this control and administration was
maintained through the church and the state until the
disestablishment of both institutions in 1964 and 1974 respectively
(to the disadvantage of African communities and South Africa
generally).
