Newsletter 1981, Vol. 3, No. 1

The central thrust behind this newsletter by the Medu Art Ensemble is the need to do art collectively and with a consciousness about community. The poetry section includes "Out of the faceless ghettos" by Bachana Mokwena. In this poem, his constant refrain to "Momma" reflects on the personal and structural pain of Apartheid through alternating between the words "momma", "mother" and "motherland". Here he laments the long history of racial oppression, the scars on Momma's back and the near-freedom which he grasps. A short story by Tebogo Mosabako entitled "Moshupa Story" relays a story of a young man in Moshupa Botswana, who through an act of goodwill receives care and reciprocity. In the section "Art Review", Dimakatso Dimakatso reviews Penny Miller's "Myths and Legends of Southern Africa", which, it is argued, reinforces the racist myths and legends of southern Africa. Es'kia Mpahlele's "Chirundu", a novel about the "entire process of life" in an (un-named) newly independent African state, is reviewed by Njabulo Ndebele. Each of these artforms presented in this edition speak to community, change, resistance and creativity.

Newsletter 1981, Vol. 3, No. 2, Writing on the Wall

Men, women, the youth and children from all sections of the South African society, from all colours, through various activities, this year, stated clearly their rejection of the racist republic. This edition of Medu adds artistic expression to the struggle against Apartheid through the poetry of Mongane Serote and James Pitse. Pitse's poem entitled "Writing on the Wall" speaks about an event in 1981 when a white women shot and killed a black worker. The poem's constant refrain "writing is on the wall" speaks to the absolute fury that people have towards Apartheid and the collective clarity that it should be destroyed. This edition also reflects on the role of culture in the struggle through articles by Judy Seidman and Robert Moloi as well as through book reviews by John Donne and Mongane Serote.
