DANCING OUT OF THE DUST When Ayanda Mthembu was 12, she watched a group of older boys practise pantsula moves on a dusty soccer field in KwaNobuhle, near Kariega. “Their feet moved so fast that dust rose like smoke,” she remembers. Today, at 24, she leads the Ikhwezi Youth Dance Collective, a group of 18 young dancers who rehearse in a community hall three afternoons a week. The group mixes the quick footwork of pantsula with the floor work, lifts and contact work of contemporary dance. Their newest piece, Water Is Life, was inspired by a drought that left their community without running water for weeks. The dancers use empty plastic buckets as props and as drums, and the dance ends with all 18 dancers frozen in a still image, holding the buckets above their heads. Ayanda studied dance at a university and worked as a dance teacher and as a choreographer for television adverts before she started the collective. Two former members now work as a dance teacher and as a lighting technician at a theatre. “Dance keeps young people busy and away from drugs and crime,” Ayanda says. “It teaches discipline, teamwork and confidence.” In September, the collective performed Water Is Life at a national dance festival, and they have been invited to perform at schools in the Eastern Cape next year.

FROM GIYANI TO THE WORLD Rirhandzu “Keys” Mabunda grew up in Giyani, Limpopo, where her grandmother sang in the church choir and her uncle played the guitar at weddings. At 13 she taught herself to play on an old keyboard that a neighbour gave her. “I watched videos on my phone and copied the chords until my fingers hurt,” she says. After school, she studied music theory and sound engineering at a community arts centre. There she learnt to read staff notation and tonic sol-fa, to record and mix songs, and to protect her music by registering her songs with a collecting society, so that she is paid royalties every time her songs are played on radio or streamed. Today Rirhandzu is a pianist, songwriter and music producer. Her amapiano tracks combine jazz piano chords with the deep log-drum bass of the genre, and she often adds xibelani rhythms and Xitsonga lyrics. Her debut album was nominated for a music award this year. She works with a DJ, a sound engineer and a manager who organises her concerts. Rirhandzu is worried about music piracy. “When people share illegal copies of my songs, I lose the money that pays my band and my studio,” she explains. She now runs free piano classes for teenagers in Giyani on Saturdays. [Examiner’s own article. The musician is fictional.] 14.1 Name the music genre of Rirhandzu’s tracks.

WIRE, BOTTLE TOPS AND DREAMS Nomvula Khumalo collects what other people throw away. On the beaches and streets of Durban she picks up bottle tops, old telephone wire, plastic bottles and pieces of driftwood. In her small studio in Umlazi, these found objects become life-size animals and people. Nomvula learnt to weave telephone wire from her grandfather, who made colourful wire baskets to sell to tourists. “At first I made baskets and bowls, like him,” she says, “but then I wanted to make art that tells a story.” Before she starts a large sculpture, she makes a small maquette. She then builds a strong armature from steel wire and covers it with woven telephone wire and thousands of bottle tops. Her best-known work, a life-size sea turtle covered in blue and green bottle tops, was displayed outside a shopping centre to make people think about plastic pollution in the ocean. “Every bottle top on that turtle is one that did not end up in the sea,” Nomvula explains. She now teaches wire-weaving to young people in her community, who sell their work at craft markets. [Examiner’s own article.
