So You Have Always Wanted So you have always wanted to… Enjoy a day with Cape Town based cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro), Graffiti Artist Mak10ne and Sculpture Artist Robin Kutinyu 09:00AM Hotel departure to experience Cape Town with locals. 09:30AM Meeting Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro) at his studio. Have a look at his work at www.zapiro.com Meet Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro) at his studio and while you are having an intriguing South African political conversation with him, Ozzy will be grinding African beans and serving quality coffee with his mobile alternative coffee brewing bar. Born in Cape Town in 1958, Shapiro couldn’t imagine a career in cartooning, so opted to study architecture at the University of Cape Town. After realising that a career in architecture wasn’t for him, he tried switching to Graphic Design and promptly got conscripted, but while in the army refused to bear arms, and became active in 1983 in the newly-formed United Democratic Front. His arrest under the Illegal Gatherings Act caused some consternation in the SADF (South African Defence Force) and his being monitored by military intelligence while he participating in the End Conscription Campaign, even designing its logo. His work as a cartoonist began in earnest with a wide range of political and progressive organisations when the newspaper South began in 1987 and he became its editorial cartoonist. Shapiro was detained by security police in 1988 shortly before leaving on a Fulbright Scholarship to study media arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York. New York was an eye-opening experience where he studied under comics masters Art Spiegelman, Will Eisner and Harvey Kurtzman. He returned to South Africa in 1991 and Is currently the editorial cartoonist for the Sunday Times and Daily Maverick. Previously he was editorial cartoonist for Mail & Guardian, The Times, The Sowetan, Cape Argus, Cape Times, The Star, The Mercury and Pretoria News. A legend on the South African political arena, the opportunity to meet with him in his home, is a rare privilege not afforded many. 12:00PM Lunch at Olami Olami is all about uncomplicated, wholesome food with a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influence. Olami’s food is freshly prepared daily in their kitchen by owner Nirit, together with a group of dedicated and passionate chefs who love to cook and “live” food. Olami’s food is the kind of healthy and affordable food everyone would love to regularly cook in their homes, if only they had the time. 02:00PM You will meet South African graffiti artist Mak1one for a street art walking tour, talking about South African history, art and street art while learning about the artwork of the street MichelANGELo’s of Cape Town. Cape Town is home to some of the world’s best and brightest street artists, from the colourful works of Faith47 to the large-scale murals of Freddysam. Like many artistic movements, the street art scene in Cape Town began as a political protest. As opposition grew against the apartheid regime, increasingly angry and emotional paintings appeared on the walls of Cape Town’s notorious District Six. Images of famous faces such as Nelson Mandela or Steve Biko were often accompanied by messages relating to human rights and freedom. These days, if you walk through the narrow streets of Woodstock you’re likely to stumble upon a piece by Mak1one, Faith47, Freddysam, Falko1. Working largely legally, these artists were still able to keep some of their work from being washed away or painted over. In place since 2010, the Cape Town bylaw is aimed to clamp down on vandalism and states that ‘the existence of graffiti anywhere within its area of jurisdiction to be a public nuisance’. WHO IS MAK1ONE? Mak1one has been involved in graffiti art for over twenty years. Having personally experienced the power of graffiti to change lives, this self-taught artist is committed to using his work to inform and challenge opinion on the one hand, and to inspire people to pursue their dreams and talents on the other. He has worked extensively as a mural artist in South Africa and abroad. He has collaborated on mural projectsin Greece, Germany, Belgium and the US and has presented two solo exhibitions in Cape Town and Johannesburg. He is a serious and conscious artist with cutting edge concepts and ideas about the potential of graffiti as an art form. Being born and raised in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town in the 1970s meant (and for many, still means) living a life where putting food on the table was a daily battle, poverty was rife and choices were limited. Discovering the expressive medium of graffiti art in the late 1980’s was a liberating and pivotal moment for him. It empowered him to express who he was and what he was thinking. 05:00PM You will be meeting Zimbabwen sculpture artist Robin Kutinyu in his studio where he creates master pieces. WHO IS ROBIN KUTINYU? In his own words: I’ve been surrounded by art my entire life. My father was an acclaimed sculptor who specialised in wildlife and also painted in oils in Zimbabwe. I first started at the age of five doing rhinos, finishing my fathers’ pieces. I honed my skills and sold my own first collection of birds and turtles at the tender age of ten. Since then, i have been completely absorbed by animals, the human figure and sculpture, the movement and anatomy of animals and human form. I try to capture the essence of my subject i.e. an animal, immortalise a certain moment, a look and feel of what is happening. My work is about the soul of my subject, not just the outer form worked to perfection. I have made my way from understanding my material and the possibilities it gives me to shaping the intangible of an idea, an image, a concept. There are different ways for me to get inspired. The sculpture might develop from an idea that forms in my mind. Textures create an image. Or I might travel thousands of miles to find an unexplored quarry where I wander around and listen to the stone calling out to me to be worked. Quite often I see in the freshness of nature the complete sculpture in a rock formation. Working in the silence of the desert is like a retreat, where often sculptures start taking shape, getting their first overall expression. Moving stones that weigh several tonnes is a refreshing exercise to me. The tension between raw material and finished piece keeps me exited all along the process of creation. I consider it a challenge to catch the movement of the human form in its endless variations. Studying the masters like Donatello, Bernini and Rodin taught me a lot about the different forms the human body can be presented in. To choose the right expression and media for an idea is the task that sets apart my work. I use many types of media; alabaster and zebra stone from America, wonder stone from south Africa, semiprecious stone from Zimbabwe, wood, wax, and even ice sculptures, granite, marble, picture stone, sand stone, jasper from south Africa, Italy, Namibia, Madagascar, metal and cement. My favourite stones are; granite, for its multiple texture finishing qualities, marble for its classic association with sculptures, Bowenite, Potoro Leonardo, Jasper, Sodalite , picture stone for its dazzling colours, spring stone and wonder stone for the contrasting texture between polished and unpolished. I have private regular collectors in USA, Germany, England, Australia, Switzerland and a small but growing number in South Africa, one of the highlights being two life size tigers commissioned by the Mother of an international sports figure. And a collection to the National Zoo & Aquarium RMB 999 Lady Denman Drive, Weston Creek, ACT 2611 Australia. I’ve held personal exhibitions at the Safari Club International in Reno, Afridesia Gallery, Red Bank, New Jersey and an art promotional exhibition held by the Spanish ambassador at his Cape Town residence. 07:00PM Head back to the hotel to freshen up and think back on a packed day’s signature and unique experiences. 2019 SELLING RATE 2 guests R 48 500 3 guests R 49 000 4 guests R 49 500 5 guests R 50 000 TERMS AND CONDITIONS • The rates are quoted per experience and are based on 2 - 5 people • The rates are current and subject to change without prior notice • All bookings need to be made at least 1 month prior • Foreign language translators available at R3 000 per day • Payment: 30 days prior to experience - 50% deposit : 7 days prior to experience - 100% full and final payment • Cancellation: Should the booking be cancelled 7 days or less, 100% cancellation fee will apply FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT US AT: T +27 (0) 87 354 6591 E [email protected] VISIT GREATPLAINSCONSERVATION.COM 5 March 2019.

  • Zapiro : Tooning the Odds
    12 Zapiro : Tooning The Odds Jonathan Shapiro, or Zapiro, is the editorial cartoonist for The Sowetan, the Mail & Guardian and the Sunday Times, and his work is a richly inventive daily commentary on the rocky evolution of South African democracy. Zapiro’s platforms in the the country’s two largest mass-market English-language newspapers, along with one of the most influential weeklies, give him influential access to a large share of the national reading public. He occupies this potent cultural stage with a dual voice: one that combines a persistent satirical assault on the seats of national and global power with an unambiguous commitment to the fundamentally optimistic “nation-building” narrative within South African political culture. Jeremy Cronin asserts that Zapiro "is developing a national lexicon, a visual, verbal and moral vocabulary that enables us to talk to each other, about each other."2 It might also be said that the lexicon he develops allows him to write a persistent dialogue between two intersecting tones within his own journalistic voice; that his cartoons collectively dramatise the tension between national cohesion and tangible progress on the one hand, and on the other hand the recurring danger of damage to the mutable and vulnerable social contract that underpins South African democracy. This chapter will outline Zapiro’s political and creative development, before identifying his major formal devices and discussing his treatment of some persistent themes in cartoons produced over the last two years. Lines of attack: Zapiro’s early work Zapiro’s current political outlook germinated during the State of Emergency years in the mid- eighties: he returned from military service with a fervent opposition to the apartheid state, became an organiser for the End Conscription Campaign, and turned his pen to struggle pamphlets.

    BLURRED LINES: HOW SOUTH AFRICA’S INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM HAS CHANGED WITH A NEW DEMOCRACY AND EVOLVING COMMUNICATION TOOLS Zoe Schaver The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Media and Journalism Advised by: __________________________ Chris Roush __________________________ Paul O’Connor __________________________ Jock Lauterer BLURRED LINES 1 ABSTRACT South Africa’s developing democracy, along with globalization and advances in technology, have created a confusing and chaotic environment for the country’s journalists. This research paper provides an overview of the history of the South African press, particularly the “alternative” press, since the early 1900s until 1994, when democracy came to South Africa. Through an in-depth analysis of the African National Congress’s relationship with the press, the commercialization of the press and new developments in technology and news accessibility over the past two decades, the paper goes on to argue that while journalists have been distracted by heated debates within the media and the government about press freedom, and while South African media companies have aggressively cut costs and focused on urban areas, the South African press has lost touch with ordinary South Africans — especially historically disadvantaged South Africans, who are still struggling and who most need representation in news coverage.

Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

  • The Rise of Fascist Politics in Post 1994 South Africa
    Issue No.91 September 2008 The Rise of Fascistic Politics and How Judge Nicholson Handed Mbeki’s Head on a Platter to the Zuma Brigade APDUSA VIEWS P O BOX 8888 CUMBERWOOD 3235 1 e-mail: [email protected] website:www.apdusaviews.co.za ` THE RISE OF STALINIST/FASCIST POLITICS IN POST 1994 SOUTH AFRICA Introduction The hallmark of fascist politics is its extreme intolerance of views which contradict and differ. Fascist politics is unable to debate and discuss rationally and usually seeks to win an argument by violence or threats of violence. Exposure of its illegitimate activities is something which this brand of politicians cannot stand. You will usually find the fascist politician foaming and fulminating against opposition parties, branding them in the most hated terms, usually linking them with the hated former oppressive regimes. The press which has the power to transmit information and the skill to craft that information in the most effective manner and which has an army of investigators and writers called journalists and reporters comes in for special hatred. The press, more than others, is able to ferret out sensitive information, obtain confidential documents and has access to the most hidden secrets of people in power or positions of influence in the State, in politics, in industry or the church. Between the might of the state, the powerful groups and vested interests and the individual or civil society stand the law courts of the country. In a constitutional democracy, the law courts uphold the constitution. Through its judgements and orders, the law is applied and enforced.

Soweto, The s“ torybook Place”: Tourism And Feeling In A South African Township Abstract This dissertation deals with the role of tour guides in creating and telling the story of Soweto – a township southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. The ts ory speaks of a place afflicted by poverty because of its history of segregation during apartheid but emerging out of these struggles to lead its nation in a post-apartheid culture. I argue that Soweto’s story was created out of a governmental mandate for the township to become one of Gauteng’s tourism locations, and out of a knowledge that the transformation story from apartheid to a ‘rainbow nation’ would not sell in this context. After being created, Soweto’s story was affirmed through urban branding strategies and distributed to tourism markets across the world. It is a storybook – a narrative with a beginning, a climax, and an ending; it is easily packaged, marketed and sold to individuals from across the world, and this is done through the senses and emotions.

  • The Changing Dynamics of Social Class, Mobility and Housing in Black Johannesburg1
    The Changing Dynamics of Social Class, Mobility and Housing in Black Johannesburg1 Detlev Krige Abstract In contemporary public debates regarding the significance of social mobility, new cultures of consumption and the black middle class, the point is often made that Africans living in urban areas before the onset of constitutional democracy were a homogenous group lacking in significant forms of social differentiation. The continued side-lining of long histories of social differentiation among urban Africans today has the effect not only of indirectly overstating the role recent policies such as affirmative action has played in the emergence of the ‘new’ black middle class, but also in limiting the public understanding of the historically constructed, multiple and complex meanings that practices of consumption has had in urban African municipal locations. In this article, I argue for historically-sensitive and ethnographically-informed analyses of consumption practices that move beyond the stereotyping of the black middle class as ‘conspicuous consumers’. Looking at the history of public housing in Soweto helps us understand that ‘new’ cultures of consumption among citizens is often rooted in everyday experiences as subjects residing in social spaces – former urban African municipal locations – that were defined and designed as spaces of consumption and not of production or income-generation. The arguments contained in this article build on insights derived from my reading of James Ferguson (2002) and Daniel Miller (1988), especially around challenging interpretations of the renovations of municipal-owned housing in Soweto as a form of conspicuous consumption. 1 This article has benefited from comments provided by two anonymous reviewers.

    NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE GRADE 12 HISTORY P2 EXEMPLAR 2014 ADDENDUM This addendum consists of 12 pages. Copyright reserved Please turn over History/P2 2 DBE/2014 NSC – Grade 12 Exemplar – Addendum QUESTION 1: HOW DID THE IDEAS OF THE BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS MOVEMENT CHALLENGE THE APARTHEID REGIME IN THE 1970s? SOURCE 1A The extract below focuses on the philosophy of Black Consciousness (BC). Black Consciousness (BC) became a doctrine of self-emancipation and a strategy for escape from the political doldrums (state of stagnation) into which South Africa had been cast in the 1960s. BC was also the breeding ground for a new generation of leaders and the training ground for imparting organisational skills. BC succeeded in popularising self-reliance as a viable (practicable) liberation strategy. Its initiatives in launching a student movement and adult political organisations, leadership training programmes, and in enunciating (uttering) a philosophy which accorded with the dignity of the downtrodden (burdened) and oppressed, served to demonstrate that self- reliance was attainable. The tasks BC set were to uplift sagging spirits; raise battered self-esteem; affirm identity and assert human dignity; fight off apathy and stagnation; turn racial stereotypes on their heads; exorcise (to get rid of) the arsenal (collection) of complexes that haunted and kept down individuals and communities; instil self- confidence and self-reliance and reinvigorate (revive) the masses in their struggle for emancipation (freedom). [From: The Road to Democracy in South Africa Vol. 2 by MV Mzamane et al.] SOURCE 1B This source describes the organisations that were established as a result of the philosophy of Black Consciousness.

  • Four South African “Sunrises”, Four Cartoons, Four Eras and the Cyclical Nature of History
    Historia, 63, 1, May 2018, pp 178-200 Four South African “sunrises”, four cartoons, four eras and the cyclical nature of history Lizette Rabe* Abstract History as having a cyclical nature has been accepted as theory since ancient times. According to this cyclical theory, events happen in recurring cycles, or, simply put, it is a matter of “history repeating itself”. This article examines four cartoons as an illustration of history as cyclical phenomenon in one metaphor that was used in four political cartoons that were published over just more than a century in South Africa. All four cartoons depict the metaphor of “a new dawn” or a “new sunrise”, although representing four different political eras in the country. As foundational point of departure, media history and media historiography is discussed, followed by cartoons and their development as editorial comment, after which follows a discussion of the use of metaphor in cartoons. The four cartoons, representing four political eras, are next presented, supplemented by brief biographies of the four cartoonists as further context. The cartoons, although representing different political eras in South Africa, are linked through the use of the sunrise metaphor, graphically illustrating history as being cyclical, or repeating itself. This article hopes to not only contribute to South African (media) history, but especially to stimulate cartoon studies, specifically from within a (media) historiographical framework. Key words: African nationalism; Afrikaner nationalism; cartoons; colonialism; imperialism; history; media history; South Africa. Opsomming Geskiedenis as synde siklies van aard word sedert die antieke tye as teorie aanvaar.
