Paul Xiniwe (1857 – 1902) was a South African entrepreneur, educator, and political activist in the Cape Colony. He is best known as the founder of the Temperance Hotel in King William's Town (now Qonce), one of the earliest hotels established and operated by a Black South African, and for his involvement in early Black political organizations in the Eastern Cape. After graduating from Lovedale, Xiniwe became a teacher at Edwards Memorial School in Port Elizabeth. His school gained a reputation for high educational standards during his tenure. Xiniwe later resigned from teaching to pursue business ventures. He invested in property and established several general merchant stores in East London, Port Elizabeth, and King William's Town. In 1894, he bought a building for 2,000 pounds, and opened the Temperance Hotel in King William's Town.[6] The hotel became an important social and cultural center for Africans in the town, and was notable at a time when Black South Africans faced significant restrictions in commercial ownership. Xiniwe was regarded as a pioneer of Black entrepreneurship in the Cape Colony. Xiniwe was actively involved in early Black political and civic organizations. In 1887, he served as an executive member of Imbumba Eliso Lomzi Yabantsundu (Union of Native Vigilance Associations), a pioneering political conference that brought together African organizations in King William’s Town. He also participated in educational and political forums advocating for African political representation and civil rights. In 1884, he presented a paper at the Native Educational Society addressing African participation in parliamentary processes. His work formed part of the broader foundation of organized African political consciousness in South Africa. Paul Xiniwe and his wife, Eleanor Xiniwe (née Ndwanya), were members of the African Choir, a group of educated South Africans who toured Britain between 1891 and 1893. The choir sang both Christian hymns and traditional African music, and sought to raise awareness and financial support for a new technical college in the Cape Colony. In 1891, the Choir performed for Queen Victoria at Osborne House. Credit: London Stereoscopic Company, Wikipedia
