What started as a burst of the property bubble in the US has had far reaching consequences right across My column to the globe. Banks have closed down or gone to my colleagues through rigorous restructuring and bail outs, global trade has fallen substantially, jobs have been lost, etc. Here in South Africa, while we did not experience the worst of the financial crisis, we were not completely spared the economic hardships. Due to reduced demand in our key trading countries, our trade declined creating economic problems here at home. Due to these problems, tax collections have declined. In order to sustain delivery, government has had to borrow more and more. In fact, despite the economic challenges, the national budget has continued to grow. The costs of servicing debt are now the fastest rising item on the national budget. You may wonder where I’m going with this. Well, the point is, we have reached a point where our budget is unlikely to grow much further, unless the economy makes a significant improvement. This means that we have to do more with less resources, quite literally. The medium term budget policy statement by the minister of finance focused on measures to reduce unnecessary expenditure and wastage in government, without compromising service delivery. At the DAC, we have issued a circular explaining how we will achieve this. We will eliminate all forms of wastage, ensure greater efficiency gains and savings. We will Sibusiso Xaba | Director General cut the frills and make do with basics. In order for us to achieve this, we will require the entire DAC family to work together to achieve this.

Artists like Nigeria’s Fela Kuti, South Africa’s Miriam Makeba, anD the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Papa Wemba (all pictureD above) have attracteD wiDespread attention in their home countries anD abroad not only because their music is extremely catchy, but also because they have expresseD sentiments wiDely shareD by others. Often, music such as theirs has containeD sharp political or social commentary; other times, African popular music speaks to the universal themes of love, making a living, anD having a gooD time. In all instances, however, African popular music—like popular music everywhere—has helpeD to express and Define people, their communities, anD their concerns. What music we listen to can say a lot about who we think we are, who others think we are, or who we woulD like to be. Music, then, is connecteD to identity, community, anD politics, anD these connections will form the central themes in our course. In this seminar, we will stuDy popular music as a way of unDerstanDing African history from about the 1930s to the present. In other worDs, we will listen to, read about, anD analyze music in particular times anD places in Africa so that we may learn about the societies where it was proDuceD anD consumeD.

BOSCH has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and The College of Communication by Jenny Nelson Associate Professor, Telecommunications Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication BOSCH, TANJA. E. PhD. November 2003. Telecommunications. Radio, community and identity in South Africa: A rhizomatic study of Bush Radio in Cape Town (289pp). Director of Dissertation: Jenny Nelson This dissertation deals with community radio in South Africa, before and after democratic elections in 1994. Adopting a case study approach and drawing on ethnographic methodology, the dissertation outlines the history of Bush Radio, the oldest community radio project in Africa. To demonstrate how Bush Radio creates community, this dissertation focuses on several cases within Bush Radio. The use of hip-hop for social change is explored. Framed within theories of entertainment-education and behavior change, the dissertation explores specific programs on-air and outreach programs offered by the station. This dissertation also looks at kwaito music, a new hybrid musical form that emerged in South Africa post- apartheid. In particularly, the dissertation argues that Bush Radio uses kwaito music in the consolidation of a black identity in South Africa.
