This was supported by other substantial grants, the largest of which came from The Dell Development Fund of 27 Computers and R500,000 to assist us with the development of our 2Enable platform. Again, we have been supported on an ongoing basis by Douglasdale Dairy and Seasons in Africa who have made monthly contributions; and the RMB Fund, The MacKenzie Foundation, HCI Foundation, Fintax and several private contributors who have made either once off or recurring donations. This year we had two flagship events; Ilizwi, a musical written and directed by Ingrid Wylde and our inaugural Route 40 Music Festival. Ilizwi, with a cast of over 40, most of whom were from our KaBokweni and Zwelisha hubs, was an exceptional production that ended up touring to Cape Town and performing at the Nedbank Arena World Economic Forum delegates. We are grateful to Vuyo Jack, HCI Foundation and a number of generous private individuals for funding this tour. At the Route 40 we had many well-known South African bands and artists perform alongside our youth bands as well as international guest musicians. We were fortunate to have had Carnegie Hall and The Rock Scholarship Fund in the USA run a song-writing competition across 300 rock schools in America. The top 6 finalists were flown out to participate alongside our youth bands at the Festival. Coca-Cola Fortune and SAB were the main sponsors of the event and many local organisations contributed accommodation, meals and transport. A significant donation in the form of rent relief by the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre and Louis van der Merwe in particular makes it possible for the program to operate from the current premises at the Performing Arts Centre. Page 3 In 2013, the CMDA continued to deliver its music program through its existing hub structures. 2Enable, the application we have developed to manage our program and deliver educational content to our users went live at the end of April. We are now able to better track the utilisation of our program and we have managed to deliver over 3000 assessments to users on the platform and have tracked over 2300 contact sessions with our members that include band development, coaching and attendance at our hubs. We continue to rely on a very small management team, our music coaches, hub managers and circuit coordinator, in addition to the many volunteers and community members who help us to function effectively. It is a program that has captured the hearts and minds of many people and again, we wish to thank everyone, especially corporate and private donors, for their ongoing support. Our contribution to the local community was recognised by the Kruger Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism at their annual awards event where the CMDA was announced the recipient of the Kruger Lowveld Community Service Award for 2013. This report will detail the progress made in 2013 and our plans and requirements for 2014. Christopher Amos - We cannot thank you enough for being such a great collaborator on this project (Song writing Contest and Route 40 Music Festival). I think the results were even more powerful than we all had expected—for both the students and the staff involved—and it was incredibly exciting to see so many months of planning come to fruition in such a successful festival. I cannot praise the CMDA students enough for how open and welcoming they were to their American counterparts. It is a huge credit to their character and the values that you’ve instilled in all the students studying at CMDA that the musical collaborations were so successful and that all the students spent so much time getting to know one another and enjoying their time together. I know it was an unforgettable and life-changing experience for all the American students. Director, Education Media & Technology The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall Christine Belinda - Beautiful! As a parent of one of the American songwriters, I cannot even begin to put into words my appreciation to all parties involved, especially the host CMDA. The collaborations between the Carnegie Music Exchange students (The Weill Music Institute) and The Rock School Scholarship Foundation and CMDA has empowered many young musicians with knowledge, skill, friendship, and deep appreciation for one of the most joyous experiences of their lives. They were all transformed in ways that will continuously contribute to the arts and to the beauty of life. Even those of us who could not attend or travel to South Africa were given incredible gifts by all you amazing, amazing people! We continue to unravel all that Anna Pearl has experienced. We are forever grateful to all of you for taking such good care of her and offering such an incredible life changing experience. THANK YOU ALL!

  • Transreferentiality: Mapping the Margins of Postmodern Fiction
    Transreferentiality: Mapping the Margins of Postmodern Fiction H De G Laurie 10079718 Thesis submitted for the degree Doctor Philosophiae in English Literature at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof AM De Lange September 2013 i Acknowledgements I hereby acknowledge with gratitude the financial assistance of the National Research Foundation, the Research Focus Area for Languages and Literature at the North-West University’s Potchefstroom Campus, The Open Window School for Visual Communication, and the North-West University‘s Research and Development Programme. Views expressed and conclusions reached in this study should be ascribed to the author and are not necessarily shared by any of these institutions. I would also like to thank the following people: My supervisor, Prof AM De Lange, for his support through complicated times and his willingness to stick out his neck. The Department of Academic Literacy in the School for Languages at the North-West University’s Vaal Triangle Campus, for granting me the time to finish this version of the thesis. My grandmother. My parents. All the friends and colleagues who, knowingly and unknowingly, provided inspiration and support and suffered during the writing of this thesis. ii Abstract Keywords: Postmodern, fiction, postmodernist fiction, science fiction, sf, possible-worlds theory, worlds, narratology, focalisation, immersion, reader experience, M. John Harrison, William Gibson, Jeff Noon This thesis starts from the observation that, while it is common for commentators to divide postmodern fiction into two general fields – one experimental and anti-mimetic, the other cautiously mimetic, there remains a fairly significant field of postmodern texts that use largely mimetic approaches but represent worlds that are categorically distinct from actuality.

  • South African Festivals in the United States: an Expression of Policies
    South African Festivals in the United States: An Expression of Policies, Power and Networks DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Akhona Ndzuta, MA Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Karen E. Hutzel, Ph.D. Wayne P. Lawson, Ph.D. Margaret J. Wyszomirski, Ph.D., Advisor Copyright by Akhona Ndzuta 2019 Abstract This research is a qualitative case study of two festivals that showcased South African music in the USA: the South African Arts Festival which took place in downtown Los Angeles in 2013, and the Ubuntu Festival which was staged at Carnegie Hall in New York in 2014. At both festivals, South African government entities such as the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC), as well as the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) were involved. Due to the cultural, economic and other mandates of these departments, broader South African government policy interests were inadvertently represented on foreign soil. The other implication is that since South African culture was central to these events, it was also key to promoting these acultural policy interests. What this research sets out to do is to explore how these festivals promote the interests of South African musicians while furthering South African government interests, and how policy was an enabler of such an execution. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust and the National Arts Council of South Africa for their generous funding in the first two years of my studies.

  • THE PARLOTONES 28. September 2016 Stuttgart Theaterhaus Gast
    THE PARLOTONES 28. September 2016 Stuttgart Theaterhaus Gast: Kyles Tolone THE PARLOTONES – das sind Kahn Morbee, Neil Pauw und die Brüder Glen und Paul Hodgson. Seit ihrem Gründungsjahr 1999 hat die Band massive Erfolge in ihrem Heimatland Südafrika verbuchen, und einige Beachtung auf verschiedenen Märkten in Europa und den USA erlangen können. Das erste Album Episoda erschien in 2003. Seitdem hat die Band sechs weitere Studioalben veröffentlicht: „Radiocontrolledrobot“ (2005), „A World Next Door to Yours“ (2007), „Stardust Galaxies“ (2009), „Journey through the Shadows“ (2012), „Stand Like Giants“ (2013) und das vor kurzem in Südafrika erschienene „Antiques and Artefacts“ (2015). Sie veröffentlichten außerdem zwei Live-Alben, „Unplugged“ (2008) und „Live Design“ (2010). „Radiocontrolledrobot“ und „Stardust Galaxies“ haben beide den South African Music Award (SAMA) für das beste Rock-Album gewonnen. Darüber hinaus gewann die Band zahlreiche lokale Preise sowie eine Handvoll internationaler Songwriter-Auszeichnungen. Zu Zeiten ihrer Gründung wurden THE PARLOTONES als Alternative-Band bezeichnet und waren stark von britischen Bands wie The Cure, The Smiths und neueren Gruppen wie Radiohead & Coldplay beinflusst. Später nannte man sie Indie, Rock und Pop. Als erster südafrikanischer Band gelang es den THE PARLOTONES den Coca- Cola Dome (Kapazität: 20.000) auszuverkaufen, und bei jedem bedeutenden südafrikanischen Festival als Hauptact aufzutreten. Seit 2007 tourt die Band intensiv zuhause in Südafrika und international und verbrachte ganze Monate unterwegs in Großbritannien, Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz und den USA. Außerdem gab es Touren in Südamerika, Kanada, Australien, Japan und Russland. Coldplay, Starsailor, Ash, The Wombats, Snow Patrol und Blue October sind nur einige Bands, mit denen THE PARLOTONES bereits auf Tour waren.
