This cultural expression can be traced to colonial slavery when Cape slaves were given a day off on 2 January. Since the early 20th century, carnival troupes have gathered in football stadiums as a medium of socialisation to perform and compete against each other for trophies, profit, status, and bragging rights. The research is divided into four parts. In the first part, I discuss the impact of violence in township areas, the locus of carnival and where the majority of participants live, where I examine the role of carnival in the mitigation of physical and emotional distress, and the legacy of klopse music as symptoms of deeper divisions rather than historical imperatives. In part two, I discuss the functions and characteristics of klopse competitions, seeking to understand the reward scheme, motives and strategies for enticing players, as well as the effects of winning and losing, team work and pride on the individual and group. Part three focuses on the more negative aspects of competition, drawing on notions of persuasion, control and manipulation, as well as empirical discussion of how individuals compete for positions of power and status, and on how their quest for success in carnival reflects their position in the formal economy. Finally, in the last part, I examine the music of the Kaapse Klopse and explore its place within a rapidly changing South Africa, in which carnival and the political mainstream are moving in opposite directions, focusing on notions of ethnicity, entrainment, and solidarity, and the effects of power and money on the social field. Specifically, I use Durkheim’s concept of collective consciousness to explain how the conscience collective is imperative to establishing moral order and the continuity of parades and competitions. v Contents Acronyms xi Consultants xii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 The festival.................................. 10 1.1.1 Klopse procession and short chronology............ 12 1.1.2 Klopse competition......................... 15 1.1.3 Klopse music............................ 17 1.1.4 The social structure of troupes.................. 19 1.2 Race in South Africa............................ 20 1.2.1 Terminology............................. 21 1.2.2 South African coloured communities.............. 22 1.2.3 The coloured people of Cape Town............... 26 1.2.4 Constructions of race and ethnicity............... 27 1.2.5 Cultural marginalisation...................... 30 1.3 Theoretical framework and chapters................... 31 1.4 Methodology................................ 32 1.4.1 Musical ethnography........................ 33 1.4.2 Musical participation........................ 33 1.4.3 Unstructured interview...................... 35 1.4.4 Data gathering........................... 36 1.4.5 Data analysis............................ 41 1.4.6 Research ethics........................... 44 2 From violence to music and back 47 2.1 Ethnographic setting and violence.................... 50 2.1.1 Early stages of fieldwork..................... 50 2.1.2 Joining the band.......................... 52 2.1.3 Inside Bo-Kaap’s social structure................. 56 2.1.4 Post season............................. 59 2.2 Cleaning the house: Theory and practice................ 60 vi 2.2.1 The band as a pack......................... 63 2.2.2 Collective efficacy.......................... 65 2.3 Understanding structural violence.................... 68 2.3.1 Problems of governance and inequality............. 68 2.3.2 ‘Post’-apartheid city........................ 69 2.3.3 Mediation between crime and joy................ 70 3 Why troupes compete 74 3.1 Tournament design............................. 74 3.2 Functions and characteristics of competition.............. 78 3.2.1 Playing success and post-match discussions.......... 78 3.2.2 Contest for legitimacy and social capital............ 81 3.3 Playing the game.............................. 82 3.3.1 Making a name in the industry.................. 82 3.3.2 Becoming an asset in the troupe................

  • Hunger Is Growing, Emergency Food Aid Is Dwindling
    Hunger is growing, emergency food aid is dwindling “Community kitchens crying out for help and support” EDP Report to WCG Humanitarian Cluster Committee 13 July 2020 Introduction Food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in Cape Town and the Western Cape was prevalent before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic (CoCT Food Systems and Food Security Study, 2014; Western Cape Government Household Food and Nutrition Security Strategic Framework, 2016). The pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in three ways: 1. Impact of lockdown. Lockdown, and curtailment of economic activities since end-March, has neGatively affected the livelihoods of the ‘existing poor’, i.e. street traders, spaza shops, small scale fishers and farmers, seasonal farm workers, as well as the circumstances of the ‘newly poor’, through job losses and small business closures. A recent Oxfam report confirmed this trend worldwide: “New hunGer hotspots are also emerGinG. Middle-income countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil are experiencinG rapidly risinG levels of hunGer as millions of people that were just about managing have been tipped over the edge by the pandemic”. (The Hunger Virus: How Covid-19 is fuelling hunger in a hungry world, Oxfam, July 2020.) 2. Poor performance of national government. Research by Prof Jeremy Seekings has shown that “the total amount of food distributed (through food parcels and feeding schemes) in the first three months of the lockdown was a tiny fraction of what was needed urGently – and was even a small fraction of what would ordinarily have been distributed without a lockdown.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.
