Sawubona Ungani friends, I hereby solemnly opens up
South Africa-my exclusive video reporting. I've been here a week and come clear because of the vast amounts no longer on new experiences. For this reason, I write sometimes just to anything that comes to me as straight through the head. Let's go ...
I live together right now with a PCM-family (both parents work in the organization) in Salvokop, which is a by the rail network from the rest of the city cut off part of town that already is pretty ghetto, saw I there, yet almost no white people .

The oldest son, Sibusisu (23), I consider myself fairly well, he has shown me the same on the first morning Pretoria Central. Conclusion: Compared to here are all the German cities of corpses. Full stop. Here is honked constantly, singing laughing, and there are these small stalls along the road where fruit, vegetables, sweets, etc. gets, the people are open-minded and nobody is rushing, you can hear African music from the shops, the Stadtbildt Although most run down, but somehow with character. And this list can continue with any ...
Sibusisu is in Soweto, the famous Johannesburg township, born and told me recently offered to take me again. Good start!
Otherwise, there are still Simanga (15) and TSIP (4), the smallest member of the family and so sweet that it's too late.

I hereby affirm that they fuck each of you, if it is about dancing. Your "Bootyshaker" is incredible, and the age of four! The remaining family members I know still does not - is quite complicated here.
on the property at Salvokop is also also the Inkululeko-kindergarten, where I will also work well SOON times. This is funny, more of TSIP variety in one place.

with the other volunteers I was very lucky, especially Sven is from Hamburg (see above), a cool pig. With him, I will probably move in together soon, get out of Salvokop and into the inner city. We want to buy a car together, so we are not as dependent and with it South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, etc. can explore. So much for the plans;) A bit of action he has already behind him, for he was the outreach (as you walk in the evening in the poorer parts of town / townships and talking to people) from a crazy guy threatened with a knife. May occur here. Do you fear now? Muharharhar (To calm: an exception is already something). was
Even more action it immediately after my arrival: On Thursday, the volunteers wanted to, including myself driving to the Oppikoppi festival, as it were, a rock-im-Park in the South African bush. Okay, were a few differences over it already, but more equal. Anyway, we rented a car for us ham, which was stolen the night before our departure. in it with alcohol and eating. On my second day. Arghh! Although we have now (with destroyed castles and gear) again, even the trunk contents are still there, but before that we had with the white car rental Rumschlag, which has very interresting methods to retrieve the linked vehicles. Allegedly, he then accessible to the respective parking attendant, she throws back in his truck, a gun holds them to his temple and then must give the lad the place of the car known. The undercurrent of racism of the type could not be ignored. In any case we went with a replacement car to Oppikoppi, where we have with the girls from the German School Pretoria (see below) camped.
They're pretty nice, but live in another South Africa as the PCM Volunteers - in South Africa with fences and Wachmaennern. Golden Cage halt. And they have names that are already our long are no longer usual. Example? Elsbeth, Gunda, Lisbeth, Manfred ...
The festival works as follows: a huge pile Buren (what the white South Africans, however, perceive as an insult, gets drunk) until loss of consciousness and a bunch of black admitted to the trash. In a word. It leaves something already impressions, especially when one then a drunk, but very nice to start inviting Bure for a beer and suddenly unpacks his racist ideology, as it would be the normal thing in the world. That's the bad thing here with the whites; nice but somehow racist. Moreover, it was freezing cold, for here indeed is winter and at night it cools down far right. The tent can be very cold then.
The Oppikoppi, however, was also positive, because the scenery was amazing (u know: red earth, acacia trees, sunset. Hehe!), Is from the hill where the stage was the best (the Koppi from Oppikoppi Afrikaans for hill) could be so blatant look far, and the sky is really overwhelming. Then there were the African bands (funk, blues, reggae and even hip-hop) is really good and probably something for me non-rockers, but the absolute highlight of C-Mon & Kypski were from Holland. I've never seen anything like horny live, the Electro mix of rock, breakbeats / hip-hop beats and so on. Even the fucking KIZ, so sorry I am, to have to say that:) So, especially Luke and Chrissi, you pulls a look! And then I stand in the way home even two giraffes on the roadside . See Just then another. Brakka ...
my shirt after Oppikoppi:)
Although after sunset in no case more rumsteuern alone, should go some evening. We can rent a car from the PCM, but then we then have our own, the Sven and I, and thus unlimited possibilities: D
About the nightly program have I still need some people to know, including Timothy, who has expressed an interest, a Crew open it. The guys from his gang are cool anyway and to go to the right people in the local hip hop / kwaito clubs. Interesting is also the Nationalitaetenvielfalt here. I had flyers with a refugee from Mozambique, in the SOCA operates a jazz guitar player from Cameroon, Sven and I have played with students from Nigeria and Kenya, billiards, etc. That's cool anyway!

My first day at work was Monday, I'm doing primaer promotion for Feast of the Clowns, a PCM-hosted downtown festival. But I was already in the School of Creative Arts, where I can soon give workshops. The boss of the SOCA is Given, a real picture-Rasta-type. Very relaxed, very creative but also very heavily booked. This is funny in any case, from the beginning I was accepted as a "Brother". Also, I was now in Rivoningo Centre, the AIDS hospice. I helped to bring that food and thus also seen the patient. When you see people sitting all the time in front of a wall and stare at them, sitting in a wheelchair and emaciated look through you when you greeted them, are somehow living spirits - then your fucking head already belonging.
I could write a thousand things, but the post is already long been condemned, so now is the end times!
Take care,
F abi
