Soweto Melodic Voices is no ordinary choir; but a talented and inspiring group of young people who will fill you with emotion and wonder. Melodic The group's motto is, "We sing when we're happy and we sing when we're sad”, and with that we take audiences on a beautiful Soweto journey through inspirational moments to raucous dance numbers. Our 14-20 year old performers’ love of music is clear IYPT, from their smiles, their dancing, the passion of their voices and natural talent. What I love most is that our members are able to access opportunities. The mission of Soweto Melodic Voices goes Madikane Tselane Neira beyond striving for excellence in music to giving our young members a chance to live meaningful lives, helping them with their education prospects. One of the choir members gained a complete scholarship to study with the University of Edinburgh in 2016, illustrating that we are indeed not an ordinary choir, but a vehicle transforming young people. It gives me great joy in knowing that lives are changing through song and dance, and academically enabling our young people to be the best. I can proudly sleep well knowing that my late husband and I have carried the element of Ubuntu “Humanity” across, of ensuring that we make a difference for our communities. And for you, our audiences. Soweto Melodic Voices has gained the love and support of local and international audiences and now we humbly appreciate being invited by Creative Connections to perform for schools in the United States of America. We are so happy to be here, and we sincerely hope you will come away feeling the joy and pride we have in our country and its people. Gratefully, Madikane Tselane Neria !4 6 201 The Performance-The Rain Queen Voices, Melodic Soweto IYPT, After the introductory video and a song, the core of the performance is based on the legend of the Rain Queen. The Modjadji or Rain Queen is the hereditary Queen of Balobedu, a people of the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The succession to the position of Rain Queen is matrilineal, meaning that the Queen’s eldest daughter is the heir, and that males are not entitled to inherit the throne at all. The Rain Queen is believed to have special powers, including the ability to control clouds and rainfall. Our show demonstrates and celebrates an outstanding Queen with amazing powers to generate rain. People run to the Queen and complain about the devastating drought and how the destructive locusts spoil their wheat. With the audience’s help, the villagers also perform a welcome dance. The Queen and her retinue sing and pray deeply for rain. Once the rains arrive, the villagers give thanks and celebrate by performing dances from several South African tribes. We hope that the spirit of this tale, illustrating that leadership is not just about dictatorship, but about extending a helping hand and providing for everyone in the village, is communicated to our audiences. Today, Queen Modjadji is still regarded as the Mother of the Nation. !5 6 201 The Performance-Our Songs repertoire is expansive. Your performance will include a Voices, Soweto Melodic Voices selection of the following songs: Melodic Africa Hee - is about where we come Mamodjadji wee pula eana – is a from and how proud we are of our celebratory song sung to praise/thank roots.

  • 1 Women As Rhetorical Agents of Peace
    Women as Rhetorical Agents of Peace in South Africa. “Open Arms and Tongues of Steel” Prepared by: Ruvimbo N. Goredema Research Assistant 1 INTRODUCTION This Working Paper seeks to investigate how women are both perceived and how they represent themselves as agents of reconciliation. Much of the basis of analysis will come from how women in South Africa experience public life. It is at this point that I would like to highlight that it is nearly impossible to separate the ideas of how women experience the public sphere from the ideas of gender analysis and feminism within an African framework. The Feminist Movement will be briefly addressed as it is a key agent in many instances that has enabled many women to participate in South African public discourse. However, the African feminist movement works in many ways differently to that of the West (the deemed source of this movement). This is because of colonialism and the role that African culture plays in these women’s lives. This is not to say that there are no lines of similarity but it is to emphasise that in a newly democratic South Africa, there are extenuating factors that shape how this rhetorical experience is perceived and executed. By highlighting the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report, the role of the Rain Queen and the Reed’s Dance in Zulu culture and process of female circumcision in Basotho culture, we aim to illustrate how women help or in fact hinder reconciliation, and how they challenge the notion that they embody a “kinder” way of doing public life.

The setting of their dynasty on the one hand in a South African democratic space with an appraisal of women’s rights and on the other in a rural traditionalist setting where women have a designated place under patriarchy. How the Queens navigate their rule in such instances where the modern and traditional seek to occupy the same space calls for such a reading. Thus questions about their ability to autonomously dispense their duties as Queens and exercise freedom over their livelihoods in a culture that emanates from patriarchal rule form the core objectives in this research.

As if by her own design, Mama Winnie’s last act of defiance was, and will continue to be, against the brutal laws of a system under which she had known all the pain possible that a human can endure. She sought to reverse the historical perversion by colonial authorities of customary law to women’s land rights. Up to her last breath Mama Winnie firmly believed that women’s equal rights to land, housing and property are human rights that should be upheld by the courts of this land. It is no wonder that some of the townships and informal settlements around the country are named after this remarkable African woman. At the height of the colonial and apartheid regimes the deliberate distortion and codification of African customary laws and systems, as clearly demonstrated in the 1913 Native Land Act, became the anchor strategy for the colonial imperialists to plunder the African land and its vast resources. In his book The Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon makes an inalienable connection between the colonised people and the question of the land.

December 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This mini-ethnography is concerned with a small-town ethnology museum, the Aranya Museum, and the various actors that entered and engaged with the museum and its artefacts during a period of transition, which started with the death of its long-time curator. The museum, like many others in South Africa, was founded by a lone man and was animated by a colonial collecting ethic that had become deeply unfashionable post-apartheid. Indeed, the literature shows a radical shift in museum collecting practices that has seen “source communities” becoming involved in and laying claim to their ethnic heritage in such ethnology collections. Contrary to this trend, the Aranya Museum held little interest for the museum’s “source communities” who expressed no intention to appropriate or reclaim ‘their’ indigenous artefacts.
