Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za iv OPSOMMING Die grondwet van die Republiek van Suid Afrika (1996) daag elke plaaslike owerheid uit met die taak om ’n sosio-ekonomiese omgewing te skep wat dit vir landsburgers moontlik maak om ’n bestaan te kan maak. Dit is op grond van hierdie verantwoordelikheid dat die studie gebaseer is op die verhouding tussen straathandelaars, binne die sentrale sake kern, en Kaapstad se plaaslike owerheid. D ie v erhouding t ussen s traathandelaars e n di e S tad K aapstad i s onde rsoek m et di e doel om die aard van die verhouding te omskryf. ’n Vraelys is uitgedeel aan 71 straathandelaars en om die opname te komplementeer is onderhoude gevoer met individue van beide die openbare en privaat sektor wat saam met straathandelaars werk op ’n daaglikse basis. Die resultate van die vraelys het gewys op die positiewe verhouding tussen handelaars en die Stad Kaapstad, alhoewel dit aan die lig gekom het dat plaaslike owerhede nie voldoen aan verwagtinge ten opsigte van die fasilitering va n informele be sigheidsontwikkeling ni e. Beleidsmaatreëls w at ’ n fasiliterende verhouding sou bewerkstellig; sowel as ’n beleidsraamwerk word voorgestel aan die hand van die be vindinge va n di e opname.

  • Choreographing Cape Town Through Goema Music and Dance
    CHOREOGRAPHING CAPE TOWN THROUGH GOEMA MUSIC AND DANCE by FRANCESCA INGLESE Each January, members of Cape Town’s sixty-plus minstrel troupes take over the city center with a sweeping wave of sound and color in the annual Minstrel Carnival.1 Known as Tweede Nuwe Jaar (the Second of New Year) — and more controversially as the “Coon Carnival” — the Minstrel Carnival’s origins are oft en linked with the December 1st emancipation processions of the mid-to-late 1800s that celebrated the abolition of slavery in 1834 and also to the annual slave holiday, the one day a year slaves could take off work. Th e parading of troupes, called Kaapse Klopse (Clubs of the Cape) in Afrikaans, on Carnival is also the culmination of a week of celebrations that begins on Christmas Eve with the parading of Christmas Choirs (brass bands) and is followed by the Malay Choir or Nagtroepe (night troupes) parade on New Year’s Eve (Bruinders 2006-7: 109). Together, these multiple practices announce the New Year in Cape Town.2 On the day of Carnival, klopse, that once gathered outside their homes in the bustling streets of District Six and the Bo-Kaap, travel to the city center from their klopskamers (clubhouses) in the dispersed townships on the Cape Flats and suburban areas beyond Cape Town’s City Bowl. Together they traverse the downtown, beginning from the edge of District Six, from which many troupe members and their parents and grandparents were forcibly removed under apartheid’s Group Areas Act (1950). From 2012–2014, I paraded with Th e Fabulous Woodstock Starlites, a forty year old troupe located in Woodstock, one of the older suburbs close to town.
