    South Africa'a artworld suffered greatly under Apartheid. Artwork and song lyrics were flooded with anti-apartheid themes, and were forced underground. To listen to one of these songs, or to own one of these paintings was evidence enough that you were a traitor and you could be thrown into prison! The bulldozing of both District Six, a vibrant multicultural area in Cape Town, and Johannesburg’s Sophiatown, where internationally famous musicians learned their craft in an area once described as ’a skeleton with a permanent grin’ are two important examples of this... where communities were literally 'wiped out'. Groups like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Soweto String Quartet, Tree63, Johnny Clegg and Mango Groove have managed to bring South African sound to a worldwide (and appreciative!) audiance.

    He guys before I forget , the Heia Safari Ranch has this Zulu Village and you get can get a glimpse of the culture and customs of the Zulu people. You will see the village when you do the game drive. Its quiet nice to see , especially if you tourist. You can also buy tradition Zulu soveniors at the shop they have there. After we had lunch there was these Zulu Dancers doing some Zulu dance , quiet interesting to see.

    One of the most exciting elements in South Africa is that it is in the continual process of reinventing itself, it's outlook and understanding of eachother. Peoples’ attitudes have changed across the colour barrier and people have hope. A new South African culture is being created, sans colour or one culture's tradition standing in the way and impeding positive development. We still have a long way to go, but the progress that's been made since 1994 has been hugely significant! :)

    The Xhosa people live in the Republic of South Africa. They have traditionally been known as cattle herders living in beehive shaped huts. Many of them move to JNB , hoping to find work. Attached is a picture of a typical Xhosa Women.

    The Ndebele are a related group, who live in the Northern Transvaal in strikingly painted houses. They have very traditional beliefs and culture, especially in the rural areas of South Africa. In the cities they have become more westernised, as their culture has intermingled with others.

    The Afrikaners have a very distinct culture of their own, from their dress to their art. Today's rural communities are still quite conservative in most ways. The majority of European (white) South Africans are of British extraction (like me and my husband!). There is also a large and influential Jewish population and Indian minority. The 'coloured' community has a very unique and 'colourful' culture all of their own :)

    I was struck by the contrasts developing in Soweto. Many neighbors like the one in the picture could be mistaken for a middle class neighbor anywhere in the world.

    Next to the new middle class neighbors still exists the squalid poverty associated with the townships
