Phiwe Maphanga, Chairman of Neema Media.
We now find out more about the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library which will seek to honour and preserve the legacy of African leaders. We’re joined in studio by Phiwe Maphanga, Chairman of Neema Media.
Background info:
The National Endowment for the Arts 2019 Jazz Master, Abdullah Ibrahim, will perform two benefit concerts for the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library (TMPL) in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Johannesburg leg of the concerts will be at the Lyric Theatre on the 27th of November 2019 and the Cape Town one, at the Life Church in Seapoint on the 29th of November 2019.
The two concerts are in aide of the construction of the TMPL, a project of the Thabo Mbeki Foundation. In concert, Abdullah accompanied by his long-time band Ekaya and the Patron of the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, former President Thabo Mbeki will be in attendance.
Ibrahim attempts to tap into the moment and into the spiritual inspiration that comes through him… a continuation of his life’s work. It expands on ideas first developed in earlier compositions such as his landmark “Water from an ancient well”, about the wisdom of the ancients…as well as “The Balance”, which contains three solo piano pieces; all of which were fully improvised.
A civil rights icon of South Africa, his song “Mannenberg” (also known as “Cape Town Fringe”) became the anthem of the movement. What is perhaps little-known is that, he also performed at the late former President Nelson Mandela’s inauguration in 1994, where President Mandela is said to have uttered: “Bach, Beethoven, we’ve got better.” This legend has played with other greats, including, Duke Ellington, Archie Shepp, Max Roach and a host of other Jazz Giants.
The Thabo Mbeki Foundation is honoured to invite you to support this initiative by purchasing tickets for your organization and/or clients. These once in a lifetime concerts are a prequel to many more similar fundraising events planned for the continent and beyond.

The San and Khoi
40 INTERVIEW: The San and Khoi will now be able to claim benefits from rooibos. The industry-wide agreement is being hailed as a world first and the KhoiSan people will reportedly now receive roughly R9 million a year.
Background info:
South Africa's rooibos tea industry to pay KhoiSan people
The industry behind the herbal tea rooibos has agreed to pay a percentage of the money that is made to the indigenous people who used the plant before production was industrialised.
South Africa's KhoiSan people will now receive 1.5% of the value farmers get when they sell to the tea processor.
This could amount to roughly $650,000 (£500,000) a year.
The lawyer representing the San people told the BBC the industry-wide agreement is a "world first".
"It has huge ramifications for the indigenous world and also for other industries where many many people can be brought under one agreement," Roger Chennells told the BBC.
Rooibos only grows in the Suid Bokkeveld region of South Africa.
At the turn of the 20th Century, under colonial rule, Rooibos farming was made into a commercial venture.
But it was first discovered centuries ago by the indigenous KhoiSan people who used it as a herbal remedy.
'Issue of dignity'
The KhoiSan are South Africa's oldest inhabitants and are made up of a number of related communities: The Cape Khoi; the Nama; the Koranna; the Griqua and the San - who also often refer to themselves as bushmen.
Lesle Jansen, from environmental and human rights law firm Natural Justice, told the BBC that this agreement is not just about money but about recognition.
"This was very much a dignity issue and the recognition by the industry that the Khoi and San are the knowledge holders to the uses of rooibos."
Descendants of Khoi people who live in rural farming communities in rooibos growing areas will get a portion of the money after it has been distributed in equal parts to the San Council and National KhoiSan Council, reports South Africa's Mail and Guardian.
