==The Cape of Good Hope Temperance Society ==

The [[Cape of Good Hope Temperance Society]] was founded at a meeting in Cape Town on 28 January, 1832, with a provincial management as a movement by concerned Methodists, inspired by and responding to the international Temperance movement[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement], to fight the abuse of alcohol and the general licentiousness that accompanied it. At one time this also included an anti-theatre lobby.

The first provincial executive of the society consisted of the Reverend Dr [[John Philip]], Doctor [[J.W. Fairbridge]], Doctor [[S. Baily]], the Reverend Dr [[J. Pears]], the [[Reverend Dr Adamson]], and [[Joseph Dixie]], [[Mr Hutchison]] and [[John Fairbairn]], with [[H.E. Rutherfoord]] and [[W. Buchanan]] as secretaries.

In Cape Town the reactions against this movement (as well as the concurrent international abolitionist movement[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolitionism]) was great, particularly from the [[Dutch]] community, and among many anti-temperance writings, it led to one of the more significant early plays to be written and published in the country, ''[[De Nieuwe Ridderorde of De Temperantisten]]'' (lit. "The New Knighthood/New Chivalric Order, or the 'Temperantists'/People of the Temperance Movement"), a satirical play in four acts and 26 scenes by [[Charles Etienne Boniface]] (1787/8?-1853/4?). In the play a number of the members of the Temperance Society appear as caricatures.
