Luister
Luister is a documentary about the lives of students of colour who attend Stellenbosch University, a South African institution of higher learning. In a series of interviews, students recount instances of racial prejudice that they continue to experience in the town of Stellenbosch, and the enormous challenges that they face due to the use of Afrikaans as a language of teaching at the university. Luister is a film about Afrikaans as a language and a culture. It is a film about the continuing racism that exists within a divided society. It is a film about a group of students whose stories have been ignored. Luister is the Afrikaans word for Listen.
SOUTH AFRICA: CAPE TOWN SCHOOL RACIAL DEMONSTRATIONS
English/Nat
White residents armed with clubs and whips clashed with police in Cape Town Wednesday when they tried to stop black students attending a school in their neighbourhood.
In scenes reminiscent of the old South Africa, the residents tried to prevent school buses approaching the building. Protesters and students exchanged jeers and racial taunts.
The whites from the depressed suburb of Ruyterwacht outside Cape Town are angry that black children can now be taught in the former whites-only school.
They gathered in the school grounds armed with sticks and guard dogs saying they were prepared to use both to stop the black children from entering.
SOUNDBITE:
Today we are occupying the school, We are preventing the school people from
coming in here because they have broken every agreement they have
made with us. They have broken the agreement so far. Now we're taking
things into our own hands because why nobody wants to help us. The
press, the news, everybody is against us so now we must stand
alone.
SUPER CAPTION: Anti black student protester (refused to be named)
The students had been bussed in from a nearby black township where the schools are already filled to capacity.
Police were on hand to form a barricade for the children as they nervously walked from the bus into the school grounds amid threats from the extremists.
NATSOT:
We will kill you people in this village. We are gatvol for your people. White people stand up for you man
For years simply being white in South Africa automatically meant a job, a house and proper education.
Now that Mandela's government is trying to improve the lives of blacks, the Ruyterwacht white population is running scared.
They claim black students have vandalized the school and demand they be removed.
SOUNDBITE:
I think it's a very bad thing they are doing to us because you know our schools
where we come from, in our areas our very schools are very crowded so when they are empty school here we must come to come to learn you know.
SUPER CAPTION: Nicholas Booi, Student.
SOUNDBITE:
It's whites who are protesting against black students who are coming here, this morning I don't know if you witnessed it I was insulted, and pointed fingers at me, banged on my
car and they called me a kaffir and they told me that if I feel that by coming to this school I'm going to end up marrying a white woman I must forget it.
SUPER CAPTION: Sharif Pander, School teacher from Khayelitsha Education Forum.
In the black suburb of Khayelitsha there is one teacher to every 50 students, but here at Ruyterwacht there is one teacher to every 40 students.
It may not seem a major improvement, but for the students, it represents the hope
of an education they have for so long been denied.

Livingland - Episode 03
We visit an outstanding herb grower in the Western Cape. Basil Williams joined the ARC Elsenburg in 1996 where he trained in the cultivation of Fynbos. He later joined the University of Stellenbosch were he was given the opportunity to manage projects for the cultivation of medicinal plants. In 2002 he ventured into hydroponics farming, which he now uses to grow his herbs. This enterprise has grown into a multi-million rand business. Basil takes us through the intricate process of growing herbs from seedling to packaging for retail markets like Woolworths. We also speak to FAWU's (Food and Allied Workers Union) Deputy President Ray Mnguni on how this organisation helps farm workers.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Pinotage PIN-ə-tahzh is a red wine grape that is South Africa's signature variety. It was bred there in 1925 as a cross between Pinot noir and Cinsaut (Cinsaut was known as Hermitage in South Africa at that time, hence the portmanteau name). It typically produces deep red varietal wines with smoky, bramble and earthy flavors, sometimes with notes of bananas and tropical fruit, but has been criticized for sometimes smelling of acetone. Pinotage is often blended, and also made into fortified wine and even red sparkling wine. The grape is a viticultural intraspecific cross of two varieties of Vitis vinifera, not an interspecific hybrid.
Anti-white South Africans
Pity I couldn't film more but this woman went crazy swearing and shouting about 'f*^king white South Africans! Racists', spitting on people at the bus stop on Putney High Street and then proceeded to get on the bus to Wimbledon (talk about going straight into the lion's den) where she continued her abuse on the bus!
White South African being rejected from Europe
It must be sad reality for White people in South Africa, it confirms that we harbor the most evil racist Whites of them all in South Africa. Even in Europe where they come from, if you ask around, they are not welcome.
