South Africa - Gimme Hope Jo'Anna

* Durban - third largest city. Population: most Zulu

* Transvaal - used to be a part of the country where white people lived. Dutch, then British. 

"Gimme Hope Jo'anna"

Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all

She's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could have live as one

Oh, Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come


I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

Oh, go give me hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

An anti-apartheid song written and originally released by 
Eddy Grant in 1988, during the apartheid era (1948-94) in South Africa. 

Jo'anna in Grant's song  is Johannesburg. 

Not the capital of South Africa - BUT "Joburg" is the biggest city and a cultural melting pot + people from all of South Africa's major cultures.

It is also known as the city of gold and is the “it” and “happening” place of the country.

The song was banned by the South African government when it was released, but was widely played in South Africa nonetheless

Who are the people in SA?

Bantu (Förfäder till dagens svarta sydafrikaner)


Colonisation 
The Portuguese  
The Dutch 
The British 

Bodde sida vid sida först. Boerna tröttnade på britterna, drog sig norrut (Transvaal). 

Samtidigt slogs både Britter/Boer mot Zulu/Xhosa 

Boer & engelsmän levde vidare sida vid sida. Men när boerna hittade guld och diamanter ville britterna äga hela Syd-Afrika.

Anglo-Boer war (ended 1902) - SA blev del av Brittiska imperiet (British Empire)

Idag är guld och diamanter Sydafrikas största export. Många gruvor. 




De svarta fick knappt några rättigheter alls i nya unionen.

1912 ANC

1948-1994 APARTHEID (betyder åtskillnad på Afrikans)
Rasåtskillnadpolitik - syfte = bevara de vitas makt i landet

Zulu/Xhosa största stammar - 
En väldigt känd man ur Xhosa-stammen är Nelson Mandela (1918-2013.

Ayers Rock - Uluru

 

Ayers Rock / Uluru is a mountain-like red cliff located on a plain in Australia.

Uluru is the name of the Aborigines and Ayers Rock is the western name.

It is a 500 million year old sandstone monolith, i.e. it is a single large rock consisting of sandstone. It has a reddish color due to oxidized iron.

 

It is the largest stone in the world.

 

Uluru is located almost in the middle of the country, about 450 km southwest of Alice Spring.

The bottom of Ayers Rock goes about 2000 meters underground and what we see is just the top of the mountain range that existed a very long time ago. Then the mountains stood on edge while they have now tipped to the side.

It is 384 m above sea level. 

It takes about 2 hours to walk around it.

Australia's indigenous aborigines see Uluru as a sacred place and this can be seen in the many rock carvings and paintings that are found on the mountain - even today ceremonies are held at the mountain.

The Aborigines have for many years begged the tourists not to climb Uluru because it's sacred to them, but also for the safety of the visitors.

Around half a million people used to climb the mountain every year. In recent years, there have been many more serious accidents. At least 35 people have died over the years due to climbing accidents.

Since October 26, 2019, it is forbidden to climb Uluru. 

Ayers Rock is best seen at dawn or dusk because it changes color then.

William Gosse visited the cliff 1873 and named it its Western name, Ayers Rock, after Sir Henry Ayers, South Australia's Prime Minister.

Uluru is today a national park called Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park.
