  • Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
    Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent.

As the national April 17, 2016 carrier, South African Airways is honored to be chosen as the offi cial airline for the Symposium. We extend to you a warm welcome to Cape Town and thank you Dear Virtuosos, for your support. Welcome to Cape Town! How appropriate that we meet for our 36th annual Virtuoso Symposium in the Mother City, a destination known for its cultural diversity, warmth, and sense of community. When I first talked about communities last August at Virtuoso Travel Week, I quoted Simon Sinek’s definition: “A group who agrees to grow together.” In effect, we’re the 2016 Symposium community who are here to forge stronger bonds through shared travel experiences, so please take a moment to join me in thanking our Symposium sponsor partners who play such an integral role in how we’ll experience South Africa together. They’re all featured in the pages that follow. The Virtuoso Events team and our Cape Town hosts have really outdone themselves with spectacular venues and personal touches topped with a myriad of Design Your Day activities to fully immerse your- self in South Africa. Whether wine lands or peninsula, sidecar ride or city walk, philanthropic or retail therapy, we’ve got you covered. Of course, we have you covered on the business side of Symposium as well. We’ll hear from three com- pelling speakers: Eric McNulty – Director of Research, Harvard’s National Preparedness Leadership Ini- tiative, Dave Pavelko – Partnerships Director, Travel – Google Inc., and David Scowsill – President and CEO, World Travel & Tourism Council.

  • Western Cape Jazz Legends
    Western Cape Jazz Legends Foreword The Western Cape Jazz legends which unveiled on 17 March 2011 pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of the Western Cape. The publishing of the Western Cape Jazz Legends Booklet gives a wider audience access to an appreciation of the contribution of these musicians who often plied their trade under the most difficult circumstances and with very little material reward. The short biographies are informed by existing literature and interviews conducted with family members. The list is by no means comprehensive but it does indicate our resolve to give homage, to acknowledge, to preserve and to promote the rich musical heritage of the Western Cape. Documenting our musical history not only ensures that the impact of the role of these legends on the musical landscape of the Western Cape is captured for posterity, but also that their stories serve as a source of inspiration to aspiring musicians. This booklet represents an important step towards the building of a socially inclusive Western Cape.
