I raise my fist menacingly at litterbugs who drop sweetie wrappers out of their cars; I call out queue jumpers (or at least mutter angrily about them to everyone else editorin the queue); and I will happily “ssshhh” a noisy cinema goer from the dark anonymity of my seat. But on one particular issue, I feel I have been silent for too long. It is a grave injustice that has seen a small sector of the population ruthlessly discriminated against. No longer will I stand silently by while tea drinkers in this country remain decidedly sidelined! I know you think I’m being silly, but as an ardent tea drinker I have been at the receiving end of this hot beverage discrimination for years, and quite frankly it’s... well... just not my cup of tea! You can wander into any cosy coffee shop or upmarket restaurant, and I guarantee you will find the same thing. Flip open the menu to the coffee section, and you will find a tantalising array of concoctions, from frothy lattes and cappuccinos to delectable mochachino’s and frappacino’s dripping with chocolate and other yummy goodies. Now scroll down to the tea section (usually tucked away in a corner somewhere) and what do you find? Two lone entries: Ceylon and Rooibos! No frothy milk, no lashings of chocolate, not even a little variety in the choice of flavours. Just a tea bag in a cup of hot water. And for that they want to charge R15 – talk about a 500% mark up! If they at least added a dash of cinnamon, I wouldn’t complain so much, but you have to admit that it is rather disheartening to watch a friend lick frothy goodness and chocolate sprinkles from her spoon, when all you can do is dunk your tea bag. And then to add insult to injury, hers will come with a biscotti or a shortbread biscuit and yours will come with… Nothing! As if it’s not enough that the coffee drinkers get sprinkles and froth and appropriately priced hot beverages, then they get free nibbles as well. Outrageous! And while we are talking about outrageous, I can safely say that very few coffee serving establishments in this country would deign to serve instant, no name brand coffee to their customers (imagine the uproar). And yet on the few occasions that some variety appears on the tea menu – like Earl Grey, for example – they do just that. They serve the cheapest brand available, when any good tea drinker knows that you simply can’t beat Twinings for good quality Earl Grey! No doubt, most of you coffee drinkers out there feel that my little rant is just a storm in a teacup, but one day I hope that coffee shops in this country (see, even the name is discriminatory) will truly embrace democracy and serve the odd Chai Latte or red cappuccino for the tea drinkers among us. And in the meantime, I will just content myself to staying at home with a comforting cup of Earl Grey – Twinings of course! Nicky Pic © Rene Kaufmann Questions?

    Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: the Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa

    VOL. 42, NO. 1 ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WINTER 1998 Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: The Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa INGRID BIANCA BYERLY DUKE UNIVERSITY his article explores a movement of creative initiative, from 1960 to T 1990, that greatly influenced the course of history in South Africa.1 It is a movement which holds a deep affiliation for me, not merely through an extended submersion and profound interest in it, but also because of the co-incidence of its timing with my life in South Africa. On the fateful day of the bloody Sharpeville march on 21 March 1960, I was celebrating my first birthday in a peaceful coastal town in the Cape Province. Three decades later, on the weekend of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in February 1990, I was preparing to leave for the United States to further my studies in the social theories that lay at the base of the remarkable musical movement that had long engaged me. This musical phenomenon therefore spans exactly the three decades of my early life in South Africa. I feel privi- leged to have experienced its development—not only through growing up in the center of this musical moment, but particularly through a deepen- ing interest, and consequently, an active participation in its peak during the mid-1980s. I call this movement the Music Indaba, for it involved all sec- tors of the complex South African society, and provided a leading site within which the dilemmas of the late-apartheid era could be explored and re- solved, particularly issues concerning identity, communication and social change.

While academic staff teach you about referencing techniques and how to avoid plagiarism, you too have a responsibility in this regard. If you are at any stage uncertain as to what is required, you should speak to your lecturer before any written work is submitted. You are guilty of plagiarism if you copy something from another author’s work (e.g. a book, an article or a website) without acknowledging the source and pass it off as your own. In effect you are stealing something that belongs to someone else. This is not only the case when you copy work word-for-word (verbatim), but also when you submit someone else’s work in a slightly altered form (paraphrase) or use a line of argument without acknowledging it. You are not allowed to use work previously produced by another student. You are also not allowed to let anybody copy your work with the intention of passing if off as his/her work.

  • How Ninja from Die Antwoord Performs South African White Masculinities Through the Digital Archive

    How Ninja from Die Antwoord Performs South African White Masculinities Through the Digital Archive

    ZEF AS PERFORMANCE ART ON THE ‘INTERWEB’: How Ninja from Die Antwoord performs South African white masculinities through the digital archive by Esther Alet Rossouw Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MAGISTER ARTIUM in the Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Dr M Taub AUGUST 2015 1 ABSTRACT The experience of South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord’s digital archive of online videos is one that, in this study, is interpreted as performance art. This interpretation provides a reading of the character Ninja as a performance of South African white masculinities, which places Die Antwoord’s work within identity discourse. The resurgence of the discussion and practice of performance art in the past thirty years has led some observers to suggest that Die Antwoord’s questionable work may be performance art. This study investigates a reconfiguration of the notion of performance art in online video. This is done through an interrogation of notions of risk, a conceptual dimension of ideas, audience participation and digital liveness. The character Ninja performs notions of South African white masculinities in their music videos, interviews and short film Umshini Wam which raises questions of representation. Based on the critical reading of Die Antwoord’s online video performance art, this dissertation explores notions of Zef, freakery, the abject, new ethnicities, and racechanges, as related to the research field of whiteness, to interpret Ninja’s performance of whiteness. A gendered reading of Die Antwoord’s digital archive is used to determine how hegemonic masculinities are performed by Ninja. It is determined that through their parodic performance art, Die Antwoord creates a transformative intervention through which stagnant notions of South African white masculinity may be reconfigured.
