November 19, 2000 South Africa: An Emotional Landscape In 1652, the Dutch East India Company came from Europe to South African soil to set up a fort for the purpose of replenishing their ships with supplies. The Europeans, in their high and mighty way, saw South Africa as land for the taking complete with savages and rugged landscapes to be tamed and civilized, and so begin the colonization of the country. When Cy Enfield’s Zulu One of the eventual effects of colonization on South African soil was the emergence of cities. Jamie Uys, in his comedy The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980), offers a reflection on the value of progress. His comparison of the Kalahari bushman in his natural surrounding and the fast-paced, buffoon looking city will rekindle the audience’s desire for natural space and a less complicated life. As Xi, the bushman, finally throws the "evil thing" away at the "end of the earth," we understand how simple it was for him to deal with the evil that harmed his children, and we realize what a complicated world filled with complicated evils we have spent centuries building for ourselves. When we choose to hate and mistreat our fellow man, we create our own enemies, and the product of hatred is an evil that will harm our children. . In the 1970s and ‘80s, the issue of equal education became a motivator for the South African youth in speaking out for their rights. Here, in the United States, we tell our children to reach for the skies, and we try to give them every opportunity to amass as much education as they are willing to take in. But the black children of South Africa were intentionally held back. Their lessons were taught only in Afrikaans so that their world would be a narrow one that could easily be manipulated and controlled. Peter Davis, in his book

Songs of the Night:
Isicathamiya Choral Music from
KwaZulu Natal
by Angela Impey Just before they take the stage, members of an isicathamiya choir in Johannesburg, South Africa, prepare for a song competition by congregaiing in a circle to pray for spiritual guidance during their performance. Picture a dark, dilapidated hall in downtown Johannesburg. In it are only a few rows of broken plastic chairs and one or two bare electric light bulbs hanging from warped ceiling-boards in the center of the room. At one end of the hall is a low, wooden stage, in front of which are positioned a wooden table and single chair.
It is a Saturday night, approaching midnight. People are slowly drifting off the dimly lit streets into the hall. The majority of them are Zulu migrant workers who live in the city for periods of up to eleven months of the year, working in factories, gold mines, or in the dark shadows of the inner city as night watchmen.
Once in the hall, they begin to congregate in tight groups, leaning inward toward one another and singing softly, haltingly, in close harmonies, a cappella. They are preparing for a competition they call isicathamiya, which literally translated means "in a stalking approach" or "tiptoe guys," descriptive of the soft-footed dance styles, actions, and songs they perform. The choirs are made up of "home boys" - men who come from the same villages or regions of rural KwaZulu Natal, an area to the northeast of South Africa. These weekly isicathamiya competitions which take place in the cities serve to assert home ties and to affirm regional identities.

Restoring Wilderness Values and Assisting People in Rural Zululand
INTRODUCTION
As developing nations rush to modernize, two aspects suffer the most immediate, long-lasting and extensive damage: rural and indigenous societies, and the natural environment. In most cases, cultures which have evolved for millennia in association with a specific geographical area and at a very steady, non-mechanized pace, have to cope within less than one generation with modern communications, the welfare state, an (alien) monetary economy, the need for advanced education (when even primary education has been scarce), intrusion of multi-cultural norms, and much more. In addition, because modern medicine has reduced the impact of many diseases and thereby prompted a population explosion, the escalating impact on watersheds and other biological systems has degraded the natural environment to the extent where basic resources (water, fertile soil, fuel) are increasingly scarce or expensive.
South Africa's rural areas, especially that of Kwazulu-Natal, (formerly known as "Zululand') are a case study of this damaging phenomenon. South Africa is considered the richest and most organized nation in Africa, and its rural indigenous societies are being impacted at an even greater rate than are those in many other African nations. Added to this is a population growth of 4.7, one of the highest in the world, creating an unsustainable, negative impact on the rural natural environment. Under conditions such as these, the social baseplate of tribal identity, extended family, social customs and mores - built up over centuries and the very substance of self-esteem, confidence and personal assurance - are rapidly disappearing. The results are a rise in crime, a degraded natural environment, spiraling increase in the welfare state, social displacement, family disintegration, and lack of personal purpose and direction.

(Bushmen)
- they were hunters and food-gatherers.
-they employed stone age technology, but they had very extensive and sophisticated knowledge of plants and animals in their environment.
- they were the cave painters in South Africa; they used similar themes and materials as were used by cave painters in the Sahara dating back about 30,000 years.
Khoikhoi (Hottentots)
- the Khoikhoi were pastoralists (cattle-keepers);
- they had some metals (copper and alloys); they may have acquired these in trade (some evidence of dispersion of metals from central Africa), but there are also evidences of smelting in number of areas of the north-western Cape and Namibia.
- pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited.
- the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

South African literature
Thomas Thale South Africa has had a rich history of literary output. Until relatively recently, realism dominated the production of fiction in South Africa - perhaps authors felt an overriding concern to capture the country's turbulent history and the experiences of its people. Fiction has been written in all of South Africa's 11 official languages - with a large body of work in Afrikaans, in particular - but this overview focuses primarily on English fiction, though it also touches on major poetic developments. The colonial adventure
The first fictional works to emerge from South Africa were produced by immigrants who often felt alienated from the South African landscape - at the same time as they were fascinated by its often harsh beauty. These colonial writers were unsettled and intrigued by what they perceived to be exotic elements of indigenous cultures. Their attitude to indigenous South Africans was, at best, ambivalent, if not outright hostile. This is especially true of the writers of adventure-type stories, in which colonial heroes are romanticised and the role of black South Africans was reduced to that of enemy or servant.

69. Zulu Politics
but to most of the indigenous peoples) was a disparagement in Gump's reduction ofZulu politics to general way of understanding indigenous political resistance
http://www.marxmail.org/archives/november98/south_africa.htm
Zulu Politics From James O. Gump's "The Dust Rose Like Smoke: The Subjugation of the Zulu and the Sioux": "Despite similarities in the Sioux and Zulu experiences civil war, partition, and national disintegrationkey differences clearly emerge. Economically, the Sioux were marginalized by their encounter with the United States, made "useless" to the economic growth of the country. A defeated Zululand, on the other hand, transformed itself into a reservoir of cheap labor, a highly desireable commodity to the British and later to South African whites..." Louis, the SA information is interesting (and some of it new to me) but I don't get a couple of things here. First, why the comparison of these two peoples? A marxist approach would surely locate such processes of resistance and cooptation within a mode of production and expanded division of labour, as Gump does in this paragraph: It strikes me that the articulations of modes of production in the SA case (not just with respect to the Zulu, but to most of the indigenous peoples) was a strikingly important process in the advanced-industrial, and indeed often explicitly socialist character of working-class and poor people's resistance to Inkatha and the apartheid regime during the 1970s and 1980s. That brings me to the second point, which is that the far more important force in Zulu politics during the 1970s was the trade union movement (which in recent SA history was actually born in Durban from Zulu worker militancy in 1973), and during the 1980s the United Democratic Front (an ANC proxy). This was (and to an extent still is) a mass-democratic, non-racial politics, and tens of thousands of Zulu people paid for their more progressive politics with their lives, at the hands of Inkatha and the old regime. It is strange that this gets left out of Gump's concluding chapter, since he touches on Inkatha's post-1975 revival.

Cape Town Brief history. S
ir Francis Drake, in 1580, seeing the Cape for the first time, called it "the fairest Cape of all."
Other explorers from the north have also dubbed it the "Cape of Storms" and, conversely, the "Cape of Good Hope." It is South Africa's only city with a Mediterranean climate - summer sunniness and winter rain. Founded in 1652 by the Dutch East India Company (de Veneenigde Oost-Inische Compagnie (VOC)), the city has since it's early days seen many different visitors and immigrants from all over the world: the French Huguenots bringing with them their wine making expertise, the Batavian (Malay) slaves contributing their cuisine, the Dutch brought the legal system and architecture, the English brought a language and government system, and the indigenous peoples gave the Cape its unique and diverse character. The original inhabitants, the pastoralist Khoikhoi and hunter San peoples, recently inspired the country's new coat of arms, replacing the previous latin motto with Khoi-San: "Unity in Diversity". The city's history however goes back to the Early Stone Age (200 000 years ago to 1.2 million). Very little is known of the earliest Cape inhabitants apart from the hand axes and weathered stone tools found dotted across the landscape. They may have been the ancestors of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers who occupied the land for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans.

Indigenous People in Asia
With a strength of over 250 million, Dalits, or former untouchables, are among the most marginalized people in the country. Now their voice is beginning to be heard, even though the definition of Dalits itself is a matter of debate, and whether they form a part of indigenous people of India. Prof. L. Jawaharnesan and rights activist Yogesh Varhade presented a status report on their plight during a panel discussion on ‘Defining Their Future: Indigenous Peoples of Asia,’ organized by the Asia Society in New York last month. The event coincided with the first session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which was attended by over 600 delegates from across the globe. Ganesh S. Lakshman reports. L. JAWAHARNESAN: The Dalit issue is more than 1,000 years old. It is a complex social problem and affects every aspect of the Dalit people. In fact, the word “Dalit” is a recent term, and refers to a collection of thousands of subcastes under what the Hindu caste system has dubbed as the “outcastes or untouchables” category. In the highly prevalent caste system in India, the Dalits comprise the lowest strata of the social order.Statistics of the current status of this community speak for themselves.

1. The Vision
To establish Centres for Indigenous Healing in the areas of the 14 Traditional Authorities of the Ingwavuma and Ubombo Districts of Maputaland in north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal from where indigenous healers are able to practice and serve the wider communal rural communities of Maputaland and Zululand as well as the wider community of KwaZulu-Natal, and from where indigenous healers can functioning as an integral part of the primary health care system of the different levels of governance in South Africa which they are and should be.
2. Introduction
The bigger project is thus focussed on unlocking the Indigenous Knowledge imbedded in the practice of indigenous healing and on the interaction of two medical systems, the Western and the African indigenous for the bigger advantage to the people of Maputaland, and eventually South and Southern Africa. The establishment of such Centres is a locally development initiative of the Ingwavuma Indigenous Healers Association which has been the foundation for the conceptualisation of the bigger project and business plan. The establishment of such Centres is focussed on the establishing Centres from where the indigenous healers of the two districts will be able to act as an entity, and in an own identity, within the primary health care structures of the Local, Provincial and the National government areas of Maputaland, Zululand, and of KwaZulu-Natal.

These indigenous tongues have been spoken for hundreds of years but were marginalised and disenfranchised under European rule. Today, in post-aparteid South Africa, we mistakenly believe that these languages are no longer under siege - that their place in our new constitution is a guarantee for their survival. The homage rendered by WRITING IN THE SAND to South Africa's survivor languages is a precarious one. The advent of European influence in our land has already witnessed, if not indeed brought about, the extinction or near demise of smaller languages like San, Khoisan, Khoekhoen, Nama and Griqua. I write in the sand because it is an unstable medium and is easily disturbed. Writing in sandy places is easily damaged and extirpated by water and wind. My work deals primarily with this loss. It points at an abject extinction of a people's collective myth when they no longer share it by word of mouth. It also hints at the fugitive nature of information in cyberspace and the loss of smaller languages due to the dominance of superlanguages in their all-out attempt to be heard clearly in a world where everyone tries to shout at their loudest.

A detailed overview of the history of KwaZulu-Natal: From Stone Age to Hard Won Democracy
The 'discovery' by New Millennium scientists of a so-called 'dream drug for dieters' once again highlighted the contemporary importance of our Zulu Kingdom's fascinating history - these experts acknowledging that the 'magic potion' in question is derived from a rare succulent known to our indigenous inhabitants for thousands of years. Anthropologists, in turn, were quick to point out the value of continuing to unlock the secrets of antiquity, in particular of a people who carried to their collective grave an intimate wisdom of this environment.

It was, then, within a spectacular arena teeming with wildlife that the San evolved from Early Stone Age beginnings around one-and-a-half million years ago. The small-framed, ochre-skinned hunter-gatherers were 'organised' into clans and loosely connected family groups, following seasonal game migrations between mountains and coast. While the San are best known for the Drakensberg rock paintings of their Later Stone Age period beginning some 30 000 years ago, the Border Caves found in the aforementioned Lebombo Mountains show evidence of continuous human occupation for some 150 000 years. These are among the oldest Homo sapiens remains on earth, and one school of thought further suggests that our Border Caves witnessed humankind's first use of fire and burial of the dead!
