Abstract:
The land, ‘things’/objects, and memory in the form of narratives and metaphors are intricately bound together. They all constitute the iconography of a shared set of ideas, beliefs, feelings, values, practices, and performances that objectify collective identities. Respectively, these complex entangled tangible and spiritual/invisible indices of identities situated in places deserve special archaeological devotion. However, since African archaeology and history remains trapped in Eurocentric colonial metanarratives, indigenous epistemologies and ontologies have somehow remained on the margins

Among Vhavenḓa, domba is an indigenous initiation institution that both men and women attend. This is a unique indigenous institution which prepares young men and young women together in order to understand the importance of marriage, child-birth and other aspects of life. And as a result, this paper outlines the use of the language variety associated with this institution as well as its educational significance among the Vhavenḓa. The use of this variety, when domba is in session, plays an important role in educating young men and women to be responsible for their families and properties. In

Sacred sites and landscapes mirror indigenous peoples’ identity, well-being and sense of place. In Venda, northern South Africa, such places are preserved through myths and legends. Following a scoping study, which also involved engagement with indigenous communities, we reveal how human-driven destruction of biodiversity contributes towards significant losses of such heritage. Large-scale agriculture, mining and commercial plantations around Thathe forest, Lake Fundudzi and Phiphidi waterfalls are not only destroying these places, but also impoverishing indigenous peoples.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the articulation in music of human worldviews, and the social contexts in which they emerge. It suggests that people project various forms of social reality through symbolic systems which operate dynamically to maintain and recreate cultural patterns. The symbolic system investigated in support of this suggestion is that constituted by Venda guitar songs. In the performance of these songs, social reality emerges in a combination of symbolic forms: verbal, musical and somatic. The combination of these symbolic forms serves as a medium for individual self-awareness basic t

Apartheid like colonialism was anchored on the divisions of African people according to ethnic and tribal orientations among others. The idea of the South African apartheid government was to build tribal exceptionalism and superiority which would make one tribe feel more superior than the other. A Zulu would feel better human than a Sotho, while a Venda would feel the same over a Tsonga, for example. This is a qualitative desktop study investigating how apartheid education was used to fuel tribalism and xenophobia in South Africa.

Abstract This chapter tackles the childhood music practiced in traditional and modern African settings with emphasis on teaching and learning as facilitated and enhanced by children’s songs and music-making. The spaces where music making takes place, the types of children’s music material, and the occasions during which children make music today are explored from the context of South Africa’s Venda, Zimbabwe’s Shona, Ghana’s Akan, and Kenya’s Luo communities and cultural practices, as representative people of Sub-Saharan Africa. The music practices are interrogated as elements of the African Indigenous Knowledge System, a complex entity from which communities derive their identity and make sense of their existence. The school plays a role in providing scope, modalities, and context for cultivating children’s growth through the use of music in teaching, teaching music, and employing music in non-class situations for learners’ aesthetic development, cultural, and intellectual growth.

Abstract:
This research investigates the problem that lies in the perception of cultural dance music performance as a practice confined to homelands, resulting in disconnect for individuals in urban spaces, distancing them from their traditional cultures and practices. To address this issue, it is essential to recognize that traditional music should integrate into city life. While competitions are one approach, it is not the sole solution. Government initiatives should be developed to actively promote and encourage cultural dance performances in urban spaces, fostering a sense of cultural identity and unity among city dwellers. Two case studies show a form of resilience between the competitions that are held by the department of basic education in South African and the collaborative approach by three different cultures (Venda, Pedi and Tsonga) in the Northern part of South Africa called Limpopo province that uses cultural performances to reimagine urban spaces that are accommodative of indigenous performances. These two initiatives challenge the controversial policies of separate development that were put in place by the apartheid regime to divide South African black people by culture. The performances bring all black people together where they were expected to live as separate ethnic groups.

Abstract:
South Africa is a multi-lingual country with a population of about 40.5 million people. South Africa has more official languages at a national level than any other country in the world. Over and above English and Afrikaans, the eleven official languages include the indigenous languages: Southern Sotho, Northern Sotho, Tswana, Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Ndebele, Tsonga, and Venda (Pretorius &amp; Bosch, 2003). Figure 1 depicts the breakdown of the South African official languages as mother tongues for South African citizens. Although English ranks fifth (9%) as a mother tongue, there is a tendency among national leaders, politicians, business people, and officials to use English more frequently than any of the other languages. In a national survey on language use and language interaction conducted by the Pan South African Language Board (Language Use and Board Interaction in South Africa, 2000), only 22% of the respondents indicated that they fully understand speeches and statements made in English, while 19% indicated that they seldom understand information conveyed in English. The rate of electrification in South African is 66.1%. The total number of people with access to electricity is 28.3 million, and the total number of people without access to electricity is 14.5 million (International Energy Agency, 2002). Although the gap between the “haves” and “have-nots” is narrowing, a significant portion of the South African population is still without the basic amenities of life. This unique environment sets the tone for a creative research agenda for HCI researchers and practitioners in South Africa.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on exploring the impact of colonization on South Africa, with a specific focus on the Vhavenda community. The chapter aims to examine the role of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems in achieving restorative justice. The impact of colonization on the Vhavenda community is a complex issue that has had various impacts on their socioeconomic, cultural, and political development. The chapter uses a literature review research method, which involves a comprehensive examination of existing literature and scholarly works related to the research topic. The findings of this research suggest that the exploitation of the Vhavenda community has had severe adverse effects that continue to affect their lives to this day. The African Indigenous Knowledge Systems offer a unique approach to restorative justice by promoting healing and reconciliation through community involvement, storytelling, and cultural practices. The chapter concludes that the implementation of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems is crucial to achieving restorative justice in the Vhavenda community and throughout South Africa.

Abstract:
The domba school of girls’ initiation is recognizable to many ethnomusicologists from John Blacking’s historic work in Venda communities in South Africa in the 1950s. Blacking’s study illuminated the central role of music in children’s lives in Venda communities. However, at present, domba and the unique songs and stories of Venda childhood are highly endangered, with significant ramifications for contemporary children’s education, cultural practices, and well-being in Venda communities. This chapter explores collaborative research that aims to draw together ethnomusicological methodologies such as audio and video documentation with community-driven efforts to embed the teaching and learning from domba into the school curriculum. Because children have historically been viewed as research objects, rather than participants, this collaborative effort highlights the significance of including children and young people in the research process. By connecting music to a broader cultural context, our research explores the emotional, physical, and socio-cultural transition from childhood to adulthood that is embodied musically in initiation schools and through the transmission of traditional Venda children’s musical arts practices (song, dance, instrumental performance). Our research aims to contribute to knowledge about critical issues, including the connection of well-being to arts education and the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage through unique and collaborative methodologies that prioritize the engagement of children and young people.
