  • “When Voices Meet”: Sharon Katz As Musical Activist
    “WHEN VOICES MEET”: SHARON KATZ AS MUSICAL ACTIVIST DURING THE APARTHEID ERA AND BEYOND by AMBIGAY YUDKOFF submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject Musicology at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR MARC DUBY January 2018 ii For Tamara, Jasmin, Brandon & Ilana iii Acknowledgements I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death. –Nelson Mandela It was the optimism of Sharon Katz that struck me most powerfully during a chance encounter at one of her intimate performances at Café Lena in Saratoga Springs, New York. I knew that musical activism would be at the heart of my research, but I was not prepared for the wealth of information that I discovered along the way. Sharon Katz shared her vision, her artistic materials, her contacts and her time with me. I am thankful for the access she provided. My supervisor, Professor Marc Duby, has encouraged and supported me throughout the research process. He is a scholar par excellence with the intellectual depth and critical insights that inspired several lines of inquiry in my research. My heartfelt thanks go to many people who provided invaluable assistance during my fieldwork and data collection: Willemien Froneman

    Independent Board of Inquiry/Hl3^ Into ntormal Repression Phone (011) 403-3256/7 Fax (011) 403-1366 Memorandum on extreme Riqhtwina organisations in South Africa. compiled by the Independent Board of Inquiry into Informal Repression (IBIIR^ INTRODUCTION. Although Rightwing movements have been active in South Africa for decades, militant extra-parliamentary groupings on the right have shot to prominence since President FW de Klerk's parliamentary speech on 2 February 1990, when the unbanning of political organisations and the release of political prisoners was announced, and the way was paved for a negotiated settlement between the Nationalist Government and the African National Congress. The Rightwing in South Africa does not form a coherent whole. Apart from the parliamentary rightwing parties - the Conservative Party (CP) and the Herstigte Nasionale Party (HNP) - a host of extra-parliamentary organisations and movements have sprung up, the largest (and oldest) being the Afrikaner-Weerstandsbeweging (AWB). These movements range from relatively harmless intellectual think-tanks - a surprising number of intellectuals is to be found in the rightwing fold - to shadowy, ultra-militant "armies" intent on urban terrorism and, ultimately, a "Third Freedom Struggle" for the Afrikaner. On the 26th May 1990, a "Volksaamtrek" at the Voortrekker Monument outside Pretoria was attended by an estimated crowd of between 30 000 and 130 000 people - the estimate depending, for the most part, on the political affiliations of newspapers reporting on the event. Although the rally was hosted by the CP, the colours, uniforms and banners of more militant extra—pariiamentary movements were openly displayed, despite a request not to do so.
