Opening of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa

September 24, 2017 By Admin

This past week we had the opportunity to watch the opening of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa at the Silo Hotel in Cape Town. School Groups, art curators, politicians and historical leaders were all in attendance, including Nobel Peace Prize Winner Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu. Tutu’s presence energized the whole crowd and it was amazing to see him speak for what may have been his last public appearance.

This museum will be the largest contemporary African Art museum in the southern hemisphere and is built for the preservation of African culture. The celebration was filled with music, laughter and a whole lot of hope for the future of African art.

The Lumineers promise their South African fans ‘two times more’ music

April 28, 2017 By Admin

American folk rock sensation The Lumineers have returned to South Africa for the third time and are thrilled to hit the stage here again.

The band consists of lead vocalist and guitar player Wesley Schultz‚ drummer Jeremiah Fraites‚ and Neyla Pekarek on cello.

At a media conference on Wednesday‚ Fraites said: “I think the idea of playing in Europe was a 10-year goal‚ but the idea of playing in Africa was never a goal because we hadn’t thought it would even be possible.”

He said that it was an honour to have the opportunity to play in South Africa and that being able to get more than 10‚000 people to attend their shows is a dream come true. “I never thought as an American I’d be able to come over here‚ and we jumped at the chance to come back‚” he said.

As a special message to South Africa‚ Schultz said: “We’re a long way from home and to have all these people come out is great. And we have a lot more music this time around… two times more.”

They started at open-mic nights around Denver‚ Colorado‚ playing folk rock with strong American vibes. Today the Lumineers is one of the United States’ most prized musical possessions. Even former President Barack Obama proclaimed himself a fan after the release of their widely popular first album. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2013 and performed the awards show. After gaining fame from the track Ho Hey‚ the group took a four year hiatus to tour.

In April last year they released their second album – Cleopatra – which narrates every day struggles such as loss and hope. The Cleopatra World Tour will run until August‚ when the band will end up in their home-city of Denver for an extra night‚ due to high demand.

They had two sold out shows in Kirstenbosch Gardens two years ago and according to News24‚ the band raved about how much they loved it. One of the touring members‚ Stelth Ulvang‚ told News24 at a press conference two years ago: “We love South Africa so far‚ everyone is so friendly and Europe can take a backseat!”

The Lumineers will be playing in Green Point park on Wednesday and in Johannesburg on Friday at the Ticketpro Dome. — TMG Digital/TimesLIVE

Become a part of the art at 3D interactive exhibition in Cape Town

April 18, 2017 By Admin

By Sealy McMurrey

Capetonians are capturing moments of themselves hiking the Grand Canyon‚ featuring in The Last Supper‚ and riding a camel without breaking a sweat.

An interactive 3D painting exhibition by world-renowned American pavement artist Kurt Wenner‚ currently on display at the V&A Waterfront‚ is making all of this possible.

Incredible Illusions is different to most art shows.

Instead of the typical museum instruction to “look‚ but don’t touch” people are encouraged to interact with the paintings for a photograph that will make it look like they’re actually there.

Wenner said that the art was chosen specifically “to provide an interactive experience to the public”.

“I wanted to share to [with] them the possibilities art offers to change our environment with imagination‚” he added.

Cape Town is the first international city to host Wenner’s travelling showcase.

Wenner said he got the idea for the showcase after setting up a museum in the Playa Del Carmen in the Mexican Riviera‚ and decided to start the showcase in Cape Town because of how impressed he was with the city when he first visited some years ago.

“I grew up in Santa Barbara‚ California‚ which is similar in many ways‚ although I must concede that Cape Town is even more elegant and spectacular. Naturally‚ I was delighted with the opportunity to display my work in such an enviable venue.”

For those who crave a more scholastic angle‚ there is also an educational zone that provides a history on pavement art and shares the crucial role that geometry plays in the creation of 3D interactive artwork. More creative museum-goers can learn about the foundation of 3D art and make their own masterpiece at the Art Jamming zone.

While Wenner was aware of the political situation in South Africa‚ he said that he generally avoided politics in his art because he felt “that my message is one of inclusion and hope rather than protest”.

“The whole world seems to be unstable at the moment and there is certainly plenty to protest about across the globe.”

The exhibition started on April 4 and runs until July 23. — TMG Digital/TimesLIVE

Cupcakes fuel protest march to Parliament

April 7, 2017 By Admin

By Alexa Cole and Sealy McMurrey

Cupcakes decorated with political slogans proved to be a popular snack among many in the crowd waving posters‚ banners and flags.

Charly’s Bakery makes hundreds of cupcakes every day‚ and since Thursday night‚ the bakers have been creating specialty cupcakes in response to the protests against President Jacob Zuma.

Cupcakes were decorated with slogans such as “Recall Parliament”‚ “SA Must Rise”‚ “Divided We Fall”‚ “United We Stand”‚ “Cry Our Beloved Country”‚ as well as images of the South African flag.

Bakery owner‚ Jacqui Biess‚ said‚ “Cupcakes are a wonderful way to mobilize people”.

The bakery has a strong presence on social media‚ with over 100 000 followers on Facebook. Biess said she began advertising the cupcakes on Thursday night on social media and quickly started seeing retweets. “We had no idea if it would be dead today‚ but we’ve had a really good turnout‚” said Biess.

Cupcakes with slogans aren’t new to Charly’s. Biess said that whenever a big event happened‚ she and her daughters brainstormed when to write on their cupcakes that would elicit a giggle and have them flying off the racks.

Previous notable cupcakes have included “Honorable Speaker” in response to the Economic Freedom Fighter’s Julius Malema and his antics in Parliament. “Don’t touch me on my studio” was another in response to former AWB leader André Visagie’s infamous interview on the SABC and “Vote” cupcakes were a hit during the elections.

Court backing for recreational dagga use a win for addicts‚ says Anti-drug Alliance

April 6, 2017 By Admin

“The Anti-drug Alliance believes the High Court ruling‚ in favour of recreational dagga use‚ is “a win” for drug addicts. The alliance’s coastal director Andrew Stoller said that dagga could now be used as an “exit drug” in rehabilitation programmes.”

The alliance’s coastal director Andrew Stoller said that dagga could now be used as an “exit drug” in rehabilitation programmes.

“The argument has been used that it is a gateway drug but we have found that it can be used as an exit drug‚” said Stoller.

He said that in their experience in working with alcoholics dagga was used to effectively remedy addiction.

He said the judgement also meant that medical companies could start testing the plant’s medicinal effectiveness.

Judge Dennis Davis ruled in favour of Dagga Party leader Jeremy Acton who brought an application to decriminalise the private use of dagga and growing the plant.

Western Cape High Court rules in favour of private dagga use
Davis declared the limitations on the private use of dagga “unjustifiable” in terms people’s constitutional right to privacy.

“I smoked about ten joints‚ went into my heart and made my plea statement. I listened to the cannabis and used it to express my truth‚” said Acton outside the court in Cape Town where a crowd of about fifty pro-dagga activists sang – some even lit dagga pipes.

“Cannabis won this case today‚ I was just the vehicle‚” said Acton.

Cabinet reshuffle puts fizz in the sugary drinks tax fight

April 5, 2017 By Admin

By Sealy McMurrey

The Beverage Association of South Africa is hoping that the cabinet reshuffle will bolster its efforts to oppose government’s plans to tax sugary drinks.

Former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan proposed a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages‚ as part of government’s efforts to tackle obesity.

But during the budget meeting in February‚ the proposed implementation date of a sugar tax was shifted until later in 2017.

The beverage association‚ which represents the interests of the non-alcoholic beverage industry‚ is hoping to take advantage of Gordhan’s axing in favour of new Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba. Legislation to introduce the tax is yet to be finalised.

Speaking on behalf of the association‚ general manager for corporate services Tshepo Marumule said‚ “We have recognized the change in ministry and see it as an opportunity to take action forward against the tax”.

The cabinet reshuffle has fueled speculation about whether the sugar tax will still be implemented.

“Parliament convened on the taxation because in its current form‚ the tax is too complex and complicated and it can’t be proven that the tax will actually help South Africans’ health. We appreciate the further consultation on the tax and would like to see the best solution for the country‚” said Marumule.

The World Health Organization supports the imposition of a sugar tax. WHO South African representative Dr Rufaro Chatora said‚ “By implementing a tax on sugary drinks to increase the prices of these beverages‚ South Africa will be taking a proactive step to reduce the intake of sugars‚ which contribute to unhealthy weight gain and other diet-related NCDs [non-communicable diseases]‚ including diabetes”.

What lies ahead for the war on sweet beverages is uncertain but there appears to be some fizz left in the fight against taxing them.

The Day I Met Kathy

March 30, 2017 By Admin

Two months ago‚ I left the United States and arrived in South Africa for the first time. I came to this country as part of a study abroad program to learn about social and political transformation.

We were assigned to read Nelson Mandela’s autobiography‚ “Long Walk to Freedom.” Truthfully‚ before these readings‚ the only ANC members I knew of were Mandela and Thabo Mbeki. But Mandela’s descriptions of his peers in the liberation movement made me want to learn more about them‚ especially Ahmed Kathrada.

Kathrada‚ known affectionately as “Kathy”‚ played a vital role in the struggle‚ one equal to Mandela’s.

His intelligence‚ loyalty‚ and humor stuck with me as we landed in Johannesburg‚ near the location of the Rivonia Trials that sent him to Robben Island. I felt like Kathy was cheated‚ like he did not get enough public attention for his irreplaceable contributions.

Kathy excited me‚ as Mandela wrote about the intimate level of trust they had and Kathy’s organization of the secret communication system within the prison. Mandela is rightly praised by the world‚ but I wanted to know the man Mandela praised‚ his “right hand man‚” Uncle Kathy.

On our fourth day in Johannesburg‚ my class visited the Apartheid Museum. They were holding a book launch for Dikgang Moseneke and Albie Sachs’ new autobiographies.

Towards the end of the Q&A with the authors‚ I noticed that the event poster to the side of Sachs said: “The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation”. I stared‚ my foggy mind struggling from jet lag‚ wondering if that Ahmed Kathrada could really be the Kathy I read about.

Suddenly‚ the event hosts on the stage asked someone to “please stand up.” I perked up and turned to my classmates in search of similar excitement or confusion. I was unsuccessful.

An old man slowly stood up‚ holding his wife’s arm for support‚ and smiled. I mouthed the words‚ “Is that Kathy?” to my program director‚ Imraan Buccus‚ across the room. Imraan winked and nodded. It was he. I felt goosebumps. A man who gave 25 years of his life in the name of equality‚ a man who was imprisoned for standing against white supremacy‚ was standing in front of me‚ waving.

Kathy sat down and the event concluded. Everyone filed out of the same small doorway and down a thin walkway to the parking lot. I was about to pass Kathy on my left. I slowed down‚ stressing‚ trying to come up with the right words.

I felt like I had no right to waste his time with whatever insignificant utterance that was about to leave my white American mouth. I wanted to thank him for everything that he had done. At the same time‚ I felt like a phony‚ having only learnt of him a month ago and feeling the United States’ failures during apartheid in my heart.

I looked at him; face flushed‚ and said “good to see you.” I then tried to disappear.

I found my friend Cherish and told her I wished I could take a picture with Kathy but would never want to bother him again. Cherish laughed at my fear. The fiery four-foot eight woman from New York walked right up to Ahmed Kathrada.

She proceeded to ask if we could take a photo. He reacted as if Cherish was an old friend‚ and said‚ “I cannot say no”. We all laughed and he warmly shook our hands. I could not believe Kathy’s patience with us‚ two very obviously foreign people.

Kathy spent 27 years in prison because of the apartheid regime‚ because of white people around the world‚ and he was kind to me. He embraced us.

As I continue to learn more about his life and the freedom struggle in South Africa‚ the more I realize how lucky I was to meet this giant of a man before he left this earth.

While I have spent much time learning about the history of the ANC in the classroom‚ I have learned the most from the people I met in KwaZulu-Natal‚ specifically in Cato Manor. I lived in that township on the outskirts of Durban for six weeks.

The local people loved to share their political views with me‚ and of course I would always ask. Most of them were proud ANC loyalists‚ like my homestay grandmother host. When I asked her where she stood after watching the State of the Nation‚ she said‚ “No matter who is president‚ I am ANC. I am always ANC.”

I have been thinking of these people the past few days‚ thinking about what it means to them now that one of the greatest names of the ANC is gone. Kathrada was an image of hope and change‚ which has not been coming fast enough since apartheid for my new black Zulu‚ Indian‚ and coloured friends and family members.

So does this loss accentuate pre-existing feelings of dissatisfaction with the state of the country? Since losing this symbol of strength‚ do people like my grandmother feel that further change is farther away?

I know one thing for sure: many people‚ especially outside of South Africa‚ are now learning more about Kathy’s life and accomplishments‚ just from turning on their television sets.

I now live in a hostel in Cape Town and met a Scottish man who had never heard of Ahmed Kathrada before yesterday. But now more people like him are thinking about Kathy and the liberation movement’s ideologies.

Maybe people will think more about what it means to have an equal society‚ or will not laugh the next time their friend makes a racist joke.

Maybe those thoughts will turn into mobilization‚ actual action against systemic racism. Maybe losing Kathy will fuel people to continue his legacy and continue fighting for true democracy‚ equality‚ and destruction of white supremacy around the world.

I will never forget meeting Ahmed Kathrada‚ and more importantly‚ I will never forget what he did for South Africa and what he dreamed South Africa could be.

That is what I will carry with me as I continue to speak truth to power. I only found out about you three months ago‚ but thank you Kathy‚ for all that you have done.

White Girl Walks into a Shebeen

February 28, 2017 By Admin

People keep making me feel like I should be afraid. It began five months ago in North America when I decided to study in Durban, a place I barely knew besides some shallow knowledge of Apartheid. As a documentarian and student journalist, I tend to be drawn to the unknown. I have always been impulsively curious; in fifth grade my teacher even told me to stop asking questions.

So I yearned to learn more, outside of the required readings. I engaged everyone around me, even my dentist originally from Cape Town, to hear their perceptions of SA. Some were convinced I was entering a death trap and most farewells were tagged with an emphasized “Be careful.” One friend only said “You know Johannesburg has the highest murder rate in the world, right?” Fortunately, I listened through a filter. Most of these people had never set foot in SA and as Tequila Johnny, an employee at the hostel we stayed in during our first nights in Durban, explains, “People can be gullible if they’ve never been anywhere else.”

South Africa was in turmoil during Apartheid. The country was governed by a system of white supremacy and drenched in egregious violence and extremely high death tolls. But while this is an important part of SA’s history and racial oppression is still prevalent, Apartheid’s violence is in fact history, and SA is arguably moving forward. When I finally spoke to my fellow black African and black South African friends at my college before I left for Durban, the extremity of the opinions held by mostly white Americans came to light. I felt like I would be accepted into Durban’s warm community. One friend coolly replied to my fervent questions, “You will love it and they will welcome you.” These opposing perceptions are not surprising. People tend to be socialized to believe stereotypes of people and places outside of their bubbles. But what I am most surprised about is that perceptions about violence within USA and South Africa vary greatly. On a micro level, perspectives of the safety of Cato Manor, where I now live, fluctuate among black South Africans.

View of Cato Manor.

From the 1950s to the 1990s, Cato Manor was a center of political unrest. In the mid 1950s Chief Luthuli, the first African to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and president of the ANC, linked the struggles in Cato with the struggles against Apartheid. But Cato is much more than the violence, for it has a vibrant history. The trade unionist George W. Champion saw Cato as a “place where Durban natives (Africans) could breathe the air of freedom.” Today, I can see these inhalations, and I breathe it myself. Cato Manor is full of life, with primary schools, a market, a clinic, a multi-purpose center, and more developments underway. In my area, Masxha, children run up and down the street, everyone knows each other, young adults party in the bar around the corner from my home, and the people laugh from the bottoms of their souls. I take frequent walks with my neighbors and every few seconds there is a wave, an aunty or uncle walking by, or a hug and a friend wondering where they have been the past two days.

My first night on Florida Road I met a group of wealthy young black South African men. When I told them I was staying in Cato Manor, they were confused. One inquired, “Why is a white girl in Cato?” Another told me that I would soon be robbed by drug addicts. I pushed back and explained that the majority of the community knows and respects my homestay grandmother, Nana, and would never do such a thing. He replied, “It doesn’t matter. Eventually when they get desparate they will come. And grandmothers get raped all the time in Cato.” Just like with my white family members back home, I did not accept these extreme views. I may take them into account, but do not let them determine my behavior. Nana has told me that she feels safe in Cato. She sometimes leaves the house with the doors wide open and always hangs our laundry to dry in the front yard.

Bryan Stevenson, author of “Just Mercy,” believes that the key to mercy and understanding is proximity. These young men are not from Cato, but from more wealthier suburban neighborhoods, and are out of touch with the realities of Masxha. It seems that they are hung up on its past. I took a walk with my neighbor Tarry and told him about these young men. He was also in shock that they were black and held these perceptions. He shook his head and replied, “The robberies don’t happen here,” and explained how this community looks out for its own. He said, “Someone is always watching you.” Someone is always looking out for me in Cato. I can feel it. And the more time I spend here, the more I sit down and talk to the people around me, the more I feel at home. So people tell me I should be afraid of the shebeen (a local bar around the corner), the men, and Cato. But I am not afraid. I have found the more I push myself into discomfort, or into the places people tell me to be afraid of, the less afraid I am.

Two nights ago I walked into a shebeen with some local friends and sat down for a while. I relaxed with a circle of older Zulu men. They said I was the first white student to do so. The night turned out to be one of the best times I have had in Durban. We laughed, danced, and shared political views. In the midst of our conversation, one of them grabbed my wrist, held it next to his, and said, “Same blood.”

The shebeen around the corner from my house.

I now pass by the shebeen and look forward to greeting my new friends. This was a place I was terrified to walk past my first night in Cato. So why do the young men I met on Florida Road still hold their negative perceptions? Maybe they have just not actually spent enough time in Masxha. Although they are from Durban, they perpetuate the oppressive stereotypes of South African men. While it is important to recognize history and possible dangers, we cannot be afraid to live. I do not know much about where I am, but I do know that in order to disrupt my own fears and prejudices, and to take advantage of my time here, I will continue to close the distance, walk into my discomfort (definitely some more bars), and continue to find and revel in the truth.
