Radio as Propaganda
This study examines the role of Radio Bantu’s policies in perpetuating apartheid ideologies, with a particular focus on Radio Venda. The article highlights how content and broadcasting practices were strategically framed as essential for the betterment of the Bantu people, while serving as a vehicle for reinforcing the apartheid government's narrative and control. It examines the extent to which apartheid-era policies of separate development shap…
David Coplan as a Pracademic Scholar
For many decades, the documentation of African music has been predominantly shaped by Euro-American scholars, largely driven by social anthropologists’ exploration and academic interest in music, rather than musicologists or ethnomusicologists.

Identity plays a crucial rol…

Our world needs courageous women who dare to challenge norms, standing firm in the face of adversity. Dr. Mawela exemplified this bravery, especially during the oppressive apartheid era when women were expected to remain silent, accept diminished rights, and adhere to a patriarchal system that tried to dictate their place. …
Indigenous Influences on Popular Venda Music
Venda musicians incorporate aspects of 'traditional' Venda life and music while still trying to make their music marketable to a larger audience. Johannesburg, the 'City of Gold' was never such for many popular Venda musicians as their music did not yield any gold for them. Two significant influences take center stage in realizing a wider market for popular Venda music. These influences reference melodic and rhythmic motifs from indigenous Venda …
