  • Tanzania Expedition - Summer 2018
    Tanzania Expedition - Summer 2018 See what a student who attended the Tanzania expedition had to say… Five intrepid Misbourne explorers plus Miss Perry, who was the expedition leader, went to Tanzania in the continent of Africa to take up many different challenges, some of which were potentially deadly. For all five students it was a part of the world that they hadn’t explored before and it clearly took everyone by surprise seeing the extreme poverty, how remote the country was, how diverse the country was and how breathtakingly beautiful the terrain was from every viewpoint. On the first two days we stayed at Ashura lodge, close to the airport to allow us to; get used to the area, purchase a phone and a SIM card, meet our in country agent and go food shopping. The food shop was one of the most amazing things as it was a huge market. The colours were incredible. On the way back from the markets we managed to get our first glimpse of Mt Kilimanjaro too. The first phase of the expedition was the acclimatisation. This phase was trekking through the Southern Pares which are located in the northern part of the Eastern Arc Mountain forests, north west of the Usambara Mountains and Dar es Salaam and, off the road to Moshi in the north. The Pare Mountains are densely populated, but the rich traditions and folklore of the Pare people who inhabit the mountains remain largely untouched. Whilst we were here, we stayed at TONA Lodge with a man called Elly. Elly has been key in ensuring that tourism to Tanzania is sustainable and, he was a very interesting man to share stories with from around the camp fire.

  • Music of Ghana and Tanzania
    MUSIC OF GHANA AND TANZANIA: A BRIEF COMPARISON AND DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS AFRICAN MUSIC SCHOOLS Heather Bergseth A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERDecember OF 2011MUSIC Committee: David Harnish, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2011 Heather Bergseth All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Harnish, Advisor This thesis is based on my engagement and observations of various music schools in Ghana, West Africa, and Tanzania, East Africa. I spent the last three summers learning traditional dance- drumming in Ghana, West Africa. I focus primarily on two schools that I have significant recent experience with: the Dagbe Arts Centre in Kopeyia and the Dagara Music and Arts Center in Medie. While at Dagbe, I studied the music and dance of the Anlo-Ewe ethnic group, a people who live primarily in the Volta region of South-eastern Ghana, but who also inhabit neighboring countries as far as Togo and Benin. I took classes and lessons with the staff as well as with the director of Dagbe, Emmanuel Agbeli, a teacher and performer of Ewe dance-drumming. His father, Godwin Agbeli, founded the Dagbe Arts Centre in order to teach others, including foreigners, the musical styles, dances, and diverse artistic cultures of the Ewe people. The Dagara Music and Arts Center was founded by Bernard Woma, a master drummer and gyil (xylophone) player. The DMC or Dagara Music Center is situated in the town of Medie just outside of Accra. Mr. Woma hosts primarily international students at his compound, focusing on various musical styles, including his own culture, the Dagara, in addition music and dance of the Dagbamba, Ewe, and Ga ethnic groups.

  • The Cultural and Historical Significance of Malopo Ritual: a Pedi Perspective
    Acta Theologica 2014 34(2): 29-43 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v34i2.2 ISSN 1015-8758 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> M.E.K. Lebaka THE CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MALOPO RITUAL: A PEDI PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACT Indeed, the implicit hypothesis that “there is little possibility, if any, for the Pedi traditional healers to experience the supernatural form of healing without performing music and dancing to it” raises the issue of “What makes the dance potent as a healing therapy?” or ‘What is the role of music in such healing processes?’. This article is a result of a guided investigation carried out in order to answer these questions. The primary sources for data collection were literature reviews, informal interviews, observations and recordings. During the study, informal discussions with traditional healers and their trainees revealed that participation in malopo rituals enables community members to inherit their music tradition. The impression created during interviews and observations was that Pedi traditional healers perform malopo songs to communicate with the ancestors. The results suggest that malopo rituals are aimed at enriching the personal and social life of the Pedi community. 1. INTRODUCTION There is a growing emphasis in present-day religious practice that is designed to help people find healing from the sickness of mind, heart, soul, and body. This is a return to the original practice of Christianity. Only in recent times did we tend to overlook the fact that religion carried on healing activities for centuries. The word “pastor” derives from the Greek word Poimen meaning “shepherd” or ‘“overseer”.

  • Clergy's Resistance to VENDA Homeland's INDEPENDENCE in the 1970S and 1980S
    CLERGY’S Resistance to VENDA HOMELAND’S INDEPENDENCE IN THE 1970S and 1980S S.T. Kgatla Research Institute for Theology and Religion University of South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT The article discusses the clergy’s role in the struggle against Venda’s “independence” in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as resistance to the apartheid policy of “separate development” for Venda. It also explores the policy of indirect white rule through the replacement of real community leaders with incompetent, easily manipulated traditional chiefs. The imposition of the system triggered resistance among the youth and the churches, which led to bloody reprisals by the authorities. Countless were detained under apartheid laws permitting detention without trial for 90 days. Many died in detention, but those responsible were acquitted by the courts of law in the Homeland. The article highlights the contributions of the Black Consciousness Movement, the Black People Conversion Movement, and the Student Christian Movement.

  • Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations Ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
    Pedi operations Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902 Felix Malunga' Introduction In this paper an attempt will be made to demonstrate how the Pedi under the leadership of Sekhukhune II took advantage of wartime conditions during the Anglo - Boer War to reshape the pattern of colonial relations imposed on them by the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, to attempt to re-establish the dominance of the Sekhukhune House in the eastern Transvaal and to negotiate favourable terms with the occupying British military forces once the ZAR was defeated. It will also be shown that often Sekhukhune II deliberately followed a policy of not eliminating republican govemment officials, Boer farmers and their families as well as the Berlin missionaries in order not to antagonise the British and Boer military authorities against him. However, Sekhukhune II subjected all these groups to frequent harassment. Another primary aim of Sekhukhune II was to concentrate on punishing "sell-out usurpers" of the Pedi paramountcy who had betrayed the Pedi polity by pledging allegiance to Abel Erasmus, the Native Commissioner, who had represented Boer hegemony over the Pedi between 1881 and 1899. Again, Sekhukhune II punished Pedi Christian converts of the Berlin missionary society who had abandoned and undermined Pedi traditions and culture by converting and adhering to Christian principles. In this respect, a number of Berlin mission stations became battlefields of the warring Pedi factions. In the process these mission stations were neutralised as centres of the Berlin missionary activities. It was only after 1902 that attempts were made by the missionary authorities to rebuild these mission stations.
