The township called Masekeni, which literally means sacks, had three sections Masakeni Number One, Blesbok Masekeni and Phelandaba. It is situated near the coal mining town of Witbank 6. Pretoria. There is nothing the town is historically linked with, except that half a mile to the west of Masakeni is the place we called Tendebiya TNDB coalmine where Winston Churchill, in his flight to Lorenco Marques during the Anglo Boer war met and was sheltered by a fellow Briton.

Pitika and I shared our childhood in this affluent wasteland. We, or more precisely, our parents, lived a street away from each other, right at the beginning of Blesbok Masekeni location and near the garbage dump. There was no garbage collection it was dumped. Nearby we lived with it. Now and again we rescued a wire for our wire toys or an old polish tin for car wheels. Deep Excavations A Practical Manual Pdf.

As the stories went people seemed to have no difficulty locating where it was buried, often digging right to the chest itself, but when they were about to pull it out something dreadful always happened, like a train coming at full speed from nowhere towards them, or a fearful Mamba would come charging. Ghosts were said to smack peoples faces leaving finger marks on victims faces for life. As children we did not run out of role models, or better still an adventurous future, pick and shovel in hand, in search of gold coins. Instead we ran away to exile which is another story. Side by side with this seedier part of our location were religious zealots who prophesied doom. There were faith healers, born again Christians over a hundred denominations. Over the weekend they held all night prayer meetings singing till morning. Fibonacci Series Program In Tcl. On some Sunday mornings there would be baptisms at a nearby well, known to be inhabited by a monster called Mamlambo. There had been a few deaths in it, attributed to the monsters demand for sacrifice. Even the coal mine shafts had monsters. We understood that there were families that were witches and they owned all sorts of creatures you find in the Zoo chimpanzees, elephants, meerkats and even zombies. There was a story that the primary school I attended was where these nocturnal creatures took their time off playing basket ball at the school grounds. Roots as origins, roots as a shared collective memory, roots as a common ancestry, roots as a memory visited creatively more like in a dream. Talking of dreams and memory, some exiles develop fertile imaginations for the longed for motherfatherland. One does not have to look very far. The works speak for themselves. I see a journey here, a movement back to the source, an engagement with that source and its interrogation.

By James Swinson. By James Swinson, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, UKExile in London. Pitika Ntuli arrived in the UK in 1. Apartheid state in South Africa. He had spent a year in a death row cell in Swaziland before international pressure secured his release into exile. The role that political exiles have played in bringing the liberation struggle to the attention of the world is well documented. The degree to which many exiles have actively engaged with the political and cultural life of the host country is far less visible. During his time in London Pitika Ntuli was a practising artist, writer, teacher and cultural worker. As a tutor at Camberwell College of Arts I worked with the painter Lillitha Jawahirilal on a video production Exiles, which featured Pitika and a circle of poets artists and musicians including Antoinette Ntuli, Eugene Skeef and Bicca Maseko. I then had the pleasure of getting to know Pitika and his work over the last ten years of his exile in London until his return home after the 1. During that time we taught together at Camberwell College of Arts and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and collaborated on a number of projects. Antoinette and Pitikas house in Hackney was a meeting point for artists, activists and intellectuals from all corners of the globe and a veritable trans disciplinary hothouse of culture, politics and creative practice. It was here that I spent time with Pitika surfing a world of art and ideas challenging assumptions and turning western history, philosophy and aesthetics upside down. Pitika approach to understanding the world is extensively multi disciplinary, where an integrated approach to theory and practice in social and political terms applies equally to art practice and theory. As Deleuze in conversation with Foucault once observed Practice is a set of relays from one theoretical point to another, and theory is relay fromone practice to another. Intellectual life in London in the late 1. Pitika relished the challenge of negotiating these emerging debates and interpreting the implications of this shifting and unstable field of critical theory for both students and colleagues alike. His direct experience of the clashes and contradictions of tradition and modernity in an African context together with the insights he had into western ideas and culture gave him an ideal vantage point to dissect the more fragmented and complex contemporary notions of power and identity. He was able to challenged Eurocentrism from an intercultural perspective. Intercultural involvement consists not only of accepting the Other in an attempt to understand him or her and to enrich myself with his or her diversity. It also implies that the Other does the same with me, problematising my self awareness. The reappraisal of a fixed and timeless notion of tradition was central in combating a limited view of history that either condemned or praised traditional cultures on the same basis as primitive or nave. Pitika contrasted the sophisticated knowledge systems and philosophies that underlie the belief systems of indigenous communities around the world with an ironic anthropological view of urban life and consumer culture.
