We are delighted to share the news that Boesman-invloed op Afrikaanse plekname by Peter E. Raper has been short-listed for the 2026 Hiemstra Non-Fiction Prize.
This recognition by the Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns is a significant honour and a fitting tribute to the scholarly value and cultural importance of this remarkable publication. The nomination highlights not only the quality of the book itself, but also the wider importance of research on place names, language contact, and South Africa’s rich linguistic heritage.
Warm congratulations to Peter E. Raper on this well-deserved distinction.
The book explores the influence of Bushman languages on Afrikaans place names and stands as an important contribution to onomastic scholarship and to the study of cultural and linguistic interaction in southern Africa.
