  • Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa
    Article Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa Morakeng E.K. Lebaka University of South Africa [email protected] Abstract The Constitution of South Africa has been taken as a model globally as it supports non-discrimination and human rights. The purpose of this study was to analyse the South African National Anthem and a secular political song to investigate how music supported the values enshrined in the Constitution, including religious freedom, during the transition from a history of apartheid towards 25 years of democracy. Politicians such as Nelson Mandela and religious leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, black African spiritual practitioners, Muslim ecclesiastics, rabbis and others played a prominent role in a peaceful transition to democracy. Although there have been a few violent episodes like service delivery protests, farm murders, xenophobia and the tragedy of Marikana since 1994, in general South Africa has been peaceful, despite its history. This study concluded that the music of politics and liberation can be related to value systems and lack of conflict between ethnic and religious factions in South Africa since 1994. Keywords: South African Constitution; South African Anthem; struggle songs; reconciliation Introduction and Literature Review In 1994 South Africa transformed itself into a peaceful democracy without a civil war. Our neighbours—Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Angola—all went to war to achieve peace. South African Special Forces played a pivotal role in the South African Border War and were active alongside the Rhodesian Security forces during the Rhodesian Bush War (Scholtz 2013). Combat operations were also undertaken against FRELIMO militants in Mozambique (Harry 1996, 13-281).

But although I am not sure if the ever popular Zimbabwean juice has remained the same over the decades, I can vouch for somethings that don’t seem to change and I list them as: • Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA – www.hifa. co.zw) – see explanation below • Bronte Hotel (how does this place maintain its grace and elegance in the middle of a city wracked by neglect) • Zimbabweans (“MaZimbo”) – how do they maintain their smiles and civility in the middle of such nonsense? HIFA is an anomaly in a country collapsing – dubious water that flows intermittently; electricity rationing (polite term is “load-shedding”); pot-holes in which a hippo could take Chris with Simon Attwell of Freshly Ground. a nice swim; snaking queues for cash at banks; ubiquitous plain-clothes police and informers; and a hysterical state- controlled media.
