Photo Album June 2026

Abstract This photo album, Nongqai Vol. 17 No. 6 (June 2026), presents a curated visual record of South African policing, military, and judicial history across different periods. The collection includes historical imagery related to significant events such as the Battle of Blood River (1838), the Kleinfontein riots of 1913, and wartime contributions by police forces. It also documents institutions such as the South African Police (SAP), South African Constabulary, Durban Borough Police, and the South African Railways Police, alongside notable locations including Boksburg Prison, Pietermaritzburg Magistrates’ Court (1939), and Esselen Park. The album further highlights the evolution of law enforcement through photographs of infrastructure, personnel, parades, and operational artifacts, including images related to the 1988 Johannesburg SAP activities and the bomb defused at the Hallmark Building. Archival materials such as maps, historical press excerpts, and photographs of training institutions and military units (e.g., SAAF and Staatsartillerie ZAR) provide additional context. Overall, the collection preserves and illustrates the development, roles, and historical significance of policing and security services in Southern Africa.
