In Chapter 4 the external environments of the participants are described. This includes not only an account of the geographical location and physical environment of Mmotla but also refers to important aspects of the socio-cultural environment of the participants. In Chapter 5 the everyday food practices of the participants are contextualised by giving a description of how they view and use food. The contemporary eating patterns as they are followed on weekdays and over weekends are reported on and interpreted. This section comprises two chapters entitled: Chapter 4: External environments of the participants Chapter 5: Everyday food practices CH AP TER 4 EXTERNAL ENV IRONMEIRONMENTSNTS OF TH E P ARTICIP ANTS 4.1 INTRODUCTION Human food choice always takes place within the boundaries of what food is available, accessible and acceptable to people and is primarily determined by the external environments in which they live as described in Chapter 2 (see 2.2.1). Each of these environments, namely the physical, economic, political and socio-cultural, provides both opportunities and constraints for human food consumption (Bryant et al., 2003:10). This exemplifies the contention that where people live contributes to their potential food choices (Kittler & Sucher, 2008:12; Bryant et al., 2003:11). In this first chapter on the findings of the study, the external environments of the participants are sketched to contextualise the contemporary food practices of the Mmotla community.

Despite existing strategies, most people in South Africa do not consume the recommended intake of five fruits and vegetables per day, and micronutrient intakes remain low. Aim The aim of this study was to describe underlying factors that influence individual and household fruit and vegetable consumption, in an area of the Mitchells Plain sub-district, by engaging with community members in a participatory manner in accordance with a human rights-based approach.

  • Visual Consumption: an Exploration of Narrative and Nostalgia in Contemporary South African Cookbooks
    Visual consumption: an exploration of narrative and nostalgia in contemporary South African cookbooks by Francois Roelof Engelbrecht 92422013 A mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Artium (Information Design) in the Department of Visual Arts at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES MAY 2013 Supervisor: Prof J van Eeden © University of Pretoria DECLARATION I declare that Visual consumption: an exploration of narrative and nostalgia in contemporary South African cookbooks is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. __________________ Francois Engelbrecht Student number 92422013 6 May 2013 ii © University of Pretoria “What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?” – Lin Yutang (Lin Yutang > Quotes [sa]) iii © University of Pretoria SUMMARY AND KEY TERMS This study explores the visual consumption of food and its meanings through the study of narrative and nostalgia in a selection of five South African cookbooks. The aim of this study is to suggest, through the exploration of various cookbook narratives and the role that nostalgia plays in individual and collective identity formation and maintenance, that food, as symbolic goods, can act as a unifying ideology in the construction of a sense of national identity and nationhood. This is made relevant in a South African context through the analysis of a cross-section of five recent South African cookbooks. These are Shiny happy people (2009) by Neil Roake; Waar vye nog soet is (2009) by Emilia Le Roux and Francois Smuts; Evita’s kossie sikelela (2010) by Evita Bezuidenhout (Pieter-Dirk Uys); Tortoises & tumbleweeds (journey through an African kitchen) (2008) by Lannice Snyman; and South Africa eats (2009) by Phillippa Cheifitz.

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.
