Man cannot own land<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Agriculture can never be an exact science. There is an inescapable
kinship between farming and art. For farming depends as much on
character, devotion, imagination, freedom and a sense of structure as on
plain knowledge or academia. It is a practical art," says Alan Rosenberg. <br /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"When one looks at the practices of modern Agriculture one sees that
they are working out of the mineral kingdom of nature. This is a
lifeless kingdom immersed in the physical. For a true sense of
Agriculture we need a balance, a natural occurring symbiosis between the
four kingdoms of nature. These are the mineral kingdom, the plant
kingdom, the animal kingdom and the kingdom of man. Life begetting life."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
"The disadvantages of not being true to the above is the situation we
find ourselves in today. The lack of a true cultural understanding that
it is man’s birthright to have access to food; that it is a spiritual
fact that <b>man cannot own land but merely be a custodian for a period of
time</b>; that the earth needs to be fed not the plant; that as with any
other organism if it is healthy it will have a natural resistance to
pests and disease."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>A healthy organism can only flourish if it is fed out of the
living. It can only be sustained out of the living. The task of the
farmer is to immerse himself as far as possible in this area. It seems
an almost obvious solution that this can only be done out of what is
described as Organic Agriculture.</strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Fundamental to this is the direct relationship between the health of
the soil and the health of the people who feed from it. This is known
fact. There is a proven difference between food grown conventionally and
that, which is organically grown. There can be no doubt that nutrition
is the basis of any man. If we receive a healthier diet from nature’s
way of growing would any sensible person not choose that way? Can man be so clever yet so unwise. There should be no doubt that the
present way of Agriculture is bound to fail as it is not self-sustaining
and is a materialistic way of working within nature</span></span>."<br />

The AABN played an important role in the international struggle against apartheid and Braam was the leader of this organisation that offered support to the <a href="http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/people/bios/braam-c.htm">African National Congress (ANC)</a> in exile and informed the Dutch public. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1986 Braam was approached by leaders of the ANC in exile and asked to assist with Operation Vula. Braam went about helping with the setting up of safe-houses inside South Africa and with arranging the smuggling of documents into South Africa. She also made contact with people inside Europe where the ANC could arrange disguises and obtain things they needed. The highly secret mission consumed five years of Braam’s life as she dodged several attempts to assassinate her. (Source: South African History Online)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Cesare Attilio Cassarino</b> is a bass player and composer from Johannesburg. A staple on the Johannesburg music scene since the late 80’s, he has performed in a number of varied musical situations. Cesare is a graduate of the Tshwane University of Technology where he studied Jazz. He was initially a sideman working primarily in Afrikaans music until the early 2000’s when small Jazz gigs took over the bulk of his income.</span></span><br />

Aan die woord was Christina Landman in gesprek met Conny Braam, eertydse Voorsitster van die Nederlandse Anti-Apartheidsbeweging, gedurende haar besoek aan Suid-Afrika.<br /><br /> Wat 'n besonderse voorreg was dit nie om so bietjie van 'n blik agter die skerms te kry oor lang ampervergete (?) gebeure in ons geskiedenis. Conny het kom gesels en ons vertel van die dag toe Mandela vrygelaat is. Hoe Dam Square ontplof het met vreugde, hoe sy Suid-Afrika nou ervaar en haar boek "Ik ben Hendrik Witbooi". </span><br />

<b>Controversy</b>:<br />
"I don't see myself as controversial at all. I am never going to try and convice you to think the way I think. It is important to understand what I believe and where I come from. We have lost the ability to listen. We are not listening to learn, we are listening to answer."</span></span><br />

<b>Media:</b><br />
" What I say is too liberal for the Afrikaans media or too Afrikaans for the English media. People can't put my ideas in a box. It confuses people ... and especially the media."<br />
<br />
<b>South Africans</b>:<br />
"We as South Africans haven't learnt how to debate properly and we are incredibly segmented in our thinking. All of us grew up very insular. We have given the world three things: Apartheid, the inability to listen and vocal harmonies."<br />
<br />
<b>Afrikaners:</b> <br />
"Somebody like Trump and The Brexit has given them a certain confidence in their wrongness. They are becoming more vocal and violent about it. We should look out for these people because they kind of spoil it for everybody else. They give Afrikaans speaking people a bad name. Then somebody like Steve Hofmeyr will stand up and say he speaks on behalf of the Afrikaner. He does not speak on behalf of me, any of my friends, my extended circle of friends and sure as hell not on behalf of my friends who are not white." <br />
<br />
<b>Afrikaans:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Afrikaans has a long history through slavery with the Muslims who predominantly developed the language. Not white Christians as is claimed today. There are a lot of things about Afrikaans that people don't know. Lack of knowledge is exploited by racists and organisations like Afriforum who advocate a certain level of Afrikaansness which doesn't exist and it is definitely not the voice of the majority." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<b>Potchefstroom:</b></span></span><br />

Gina Shoemaker<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Have a conscience and be aware of your environment and surroundings," says <b>Gina Shoemaker</b> on the iStart2 Radio Show this week. "We can prosper just by accepting change. Every action affects climate change and our environment. If we all decide to do the right thing we can tackle the food security issue. No child should go hungry. Do you want to put <b>poison on your plate</b> or nutritional organic veg? Take a stand!"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gina Shoemaker, Managing Director of Green Earth Concepts has over 25 years of experience in agricultural and horticultural landscaping. Gina has implemented many organic farming schemes and developed the commercial worm farm operation which generates organic fertilizer for any size waste generator. Farmers have taken an interest in the commercial worm farms whilst realizing that it is less expensive to grow organic crops. The organic waste solution has been implemented in over 200 successful operations in South Africa.<br />
<br />
Green Earth Concepts will help you develop skills and environmental awareness in the field of organic recycling. Her goal is to relieve hunger by providing means to enhance permaculture and organic food production. Incorporating mulch and compost as a primary carbon credit, the objective is to recycle and reuse organic refuse in accordance with the National Waste Minimisation Standards. The primary mission is recycling organic material for use as soil conditioners that will produce nutritious crops and enhance food security as a whole.<br />
<br />
"There is so much opportunity for Africa to be the breadbasket of the world," says Gina. " iStart2 grow organic and eat organic food".<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />"It's easier than you think, and you can do it even if you don’t have a garden or plot of land," says Lee Kirk, 70, who has been growing her own fruit and vegetables in her garden for nearly 50 years. She gives some tips <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/Growfruitandveg.aspx">here</a>:<br /><span style="color: white;"><br />- Buy seeds from the supermarket or your local garden centre. <br /><br />- Try to grow something easy, like courgettes and tomatoes, to start with. <br />It’s worth consulting a gardener to see what produce is best suited to your ground. "For example, our garden gets too much sunlight for growing good root vegetables," says Lee. <br /><br />- Lose the pests. "To get rid of slugs and snails, I encourage frogs in the garden and also mix a product in my watering can, which effectively kills them while I’m watering the plants," says Lee. If you're going down this route, make sure you are using a pesticide that is indicated as being suitable for edible plants. <br /> <br />- Consider the variety of plant you grow. "I find tomato blight (a fungal disease that attacks just as the tomatoes are ready to eat) very annoying, and I now grow more of the Tom Thumb variety, which are a kind of cherry tomato – smaller and less prone to blight," says Lee. <br /><br />- Get your friends involved. "Our friends come over to pick our redcurrants and in exchange give us redcurrant gin, chutney, free range eggs and their company," says Lee.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The iStart2 Radio Show this week:</b></span><br /><br />On the iStart2 Radio Show this week we chat to Gina Shoemaker, Managing Director of Green Earth Concepts.

Keitu Gwangwa interviews Pierre du Toit<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">iStart2 is a <b>Sustainabilty-through-Arts</b> movement in which communities participate in re-imagining and implementing solutions towards leaving sustainable footprints for our children.<br />
<br />
iStart2 is a campaign built around the need for a revolution in the way we manage our environment and our world. <b>iStart2</b> is not just what we want to do, but also what we must do. iStart2 is a rallying call to all those who wish to make the world a more sustainable place.<br />
<br />
The i in “iStart2” is you the individual, taking responsibility for doing your part to co-create Sustainability Through (ST) Art, in order to (2) do one thing to create a more sustainable world. Let's inspire people in South Africa to commit to pledging ‘I start 2…’ do one thing to contribute to a sustainable world.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Through <b>celebrating our differences</b>, our uniqueness, togetherness, iStart2 seeks to connect the inter-dependent world for the sake of the earth and the earth’s inhabitants. Actions speak louder than words, so ... the question is what do your actions shout today? i-start-2 understand. i-start-2 do what I must. i-start-2 today…<br />
<br />
<b>Building bridges</b> and form partnerships with national and world leaders, their foundations and the networks supporting them.<br />
<br />
A movement that has such a powerful vision creates a bridge into a world where <b>real change</b> can happen to real people. The iStart2 campaign at it’s core strives to see a nation and ultimately a world moved to change it’s behaviour, to see the rising up of a new way of life that is healthier, brighter and better for us and our children. <br />
<br />
Using the iStart2 Challenge to plug into and build on <b>existing efforts</b> of organizations and citizens spearheading sustainability projects within South Africa. <br />
<br />
Through art a sustainable world can become a reality. iStart2 seeks to connect people, and enable them to <b>join hands</b> and find creative, practical solutions for a sustainable future. This includes building bridges and securing foundations with world leaders and the networks that support their efforts. It also includes using ‘art’ as a catalyst to inspire change. </span><br />

Haar ontmoeting met 'n paar uitgewekenes uit Suid-Afrika laat haar skrywery op die agtergrond en in 1970 stig sy saam met 'n paar ander die Nederlandse Anti-Apartheidsbeweging. Conny dien as voorsitster tot in 1994. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, groups claiming to be ‘indigenous’ in Africa are mostly those
who have been living by hunting and gathering; by transhumant (migratory
nomadic) pastoralism and those practicing traditional drylands
horticulture including oasis cultures. These different peoples represent
the backbone of Africa's traditional knowledge of nature and
sustainable development in remote rural areas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">INDIGENOUS OR NOT?</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some Africans may be offended by the idea that one ethnic group
should be called ‘indigenous’ and others not. <b>IPACC</b> recognises that all
Africans should enjoy <b>equal rights and respect</b>. All of Africa’s
diversity is to be valued. Particular communities, due to historical and
environmental circumstances, have found themselves outside the
state-system and underrepresented in governance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These ‘first-peoples’
or ‘autochthonous peoples’ have associated themselves with the United
Nations’ standards on the rights of indigenous peoples. This is not to
deny other Africans their status; it is to emphasise that <b>affirmative
recognition</b> is necessary for hunter-gatherers and herding peoples to
ensure their survival. Genetics is not the basis of human rights, but it
does reflect that the distribution of power between different peoples
in Africa is born of a long history and cannot be dismissed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The claims to being indigenous in Africa are related to a cluster of characteristics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">political and economic marginalisation rooted in colonialism;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">de facto discrimination based often on the dominance of agricultural
peoples in the State system (e.g. lack of access to education and
health care by hunters and herders);</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the particularities of culture, identity, economy and territoriality
that link hunting and herding peoples to their home environments in
deserts and forests (e.g. nomadism, diet, knowledge systems);</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">some indigenous peoples, such as the San and Pygmy peoples are
physically distinct, which makes them subject to specific forms of
discrimination.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
Recent efforts to map Africa’s genetic prehistory are drawing
attention to the fact that ‘first peoples’ have a great antiquity on the
continent. Africa is recognised by geneticists and archaeologists as
the cradle of humankind. Africa has the greatest genetic and linguistic
diversity of any continent. There have been major technical advances
over the last decade in reading genetic signatures and unravelling
prehistory of Africa. Peoples such as the San and Khoe, the Hadzabe, and
the various ‘Pygmy’ forest peoples represent some of the oldest gene
types on the planet. </span></div>
<div class="slide-text">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Indigeneity is associated
with both the negative experience of discrimination and marginalisation
from governance, as well as the positive aspects of being holders of
unique knowledge which has emerged through the long-term management of
arid area and tropical forest ecosystems.</span></div>

Ulysses and ArtSpoken<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Two days to go before the big night! </b><br /><br />We are excited to introduce the younger artists who will be performing at the Cry of Africa Show on Friday evening:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a member of the popular DNA Strings, Ulysses aka Herman Steyn knew when they
disbanded that he would come back to this world of making music. As
someone who loves instrumental music, he also knew it would be in that
genre – one of the toughest to crack. But this energetic violinist is
nothing but determined to make music – and do it his way. Herman is the founder of Sheraaz band and he will be performing solo in the upcoming show. </span><br />
