FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOYS in striped rugby jerseys train with total intensity under the critical eye of the COACH. Right ACROSS THE BOUNDARY FENCE from the rugby fields is an area of WASTE LAND leading up to the freeway. There, BLACK AND “COLORED” (MIXED-RACE) BOYS of the same age play a loose game of soccer with a tennis ball. Most of them have bare feet and threadbare, dirty clothes, most of them are noticeably smaller and skinnier than the white boys. Two cultures, separated by more than the high boundary fence.

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.

  • South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana Obdc
    O B D C presents BEST OF AFRICA: SOUTH AFRICA, ZIMBABWE & BOTSWANA Johannesburg • Kruger National Park • Victoria Falls National Park • Hwange National Park • Chobe National Park They say that once you’ve experienced Africa, a piece of your heart remains there forever. With Best of Africa: South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana, you’re sure to fall in love with the continent on this exciting adventure into three southern African countries, all rich in wildlife and culture. Experience the thrill of finding more big game in Kruger, Hwange, and Chobe National Parks than you ever imagined — whether by land, water, or on foot. You’ll go searching for predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas, besides trying to see a glimpse of the highly endangered rhinos and wild dogs. But when it comes to elephants, you’ll marvel at huge herds with gregarious youngsters and shy babies, grazing the bushland and cooling off in water holes and rivers. This is also a safari for interacting with local people and discovering tribal culture. Whether lunching with locals in South Africa’s Soweto township where Nelson Mandela lived, or gathering around the campfire for legends and folklore enacted in story and dance in your Hwange safari camp, you’ll come closer to a greater understanding of the rich tapestry of African culture. You’ll even join a local Zimbabwean family for a home-cooked meal. Water is the lifeblood of survival for animals in the four national parks we visit, so we’ve rounded out this safari with three riverboat features on the Chobe River and an optional afternoon cruise on the mighty Zambezi.

GIVING VOICE TO MANDELA: AN ANALYSIS OF ACCENT ACQUISITION INTERVENTION FOR THE ROLE OF NELSON MANDELA IN THE FILM MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM A CASE STUDY THESIS Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS of The University of the Witwatersrand By FIONA RAMSAY HORSTHEMKE June 2014 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Declaration I declare that this is my own unaided work. It is submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Masters of Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. ……………………………………………….. FIONA RAMSAY HORSTHEMKE June 2014 ! "! Acknowledgements Voice practitioners uphold a tradition of acknowledging their master teachers and their influence on one’s own teaching practice and methods developed. Apart from the respect accorded these teachers, this tradition connects an individual practice to a broader voice practice and to a culture of voice coaching. I have not been influenced by one master teacher, but rather learnt from a variety of teachers and coaches who I have worked with over my years as an actress and coach in the industry. My technique and process have not only been affected by directors, teachers and coaches but by the many students and actors I have coached in classrooms, rehearsal rooms and on film sets, for 30 and years whose passion and commitment to their craft and to learning has inspired me. My work ethic was initially motivated by my first ballet teacher Josie Pretorius and furthered by my Spanish dancing teacher Mercedes Molina. Both instilled in me an understanding of the need for discipline of body and mind to succeed not only in the arts industry, but as a general tenet in life.
