Worker Culture: It’s Emergence, Gains and the Implications of Decline by Frank Meintjies

This paper was submitted to the 1973 Durban Strikes Celebrating 50 Years Conference

The first shoots of worker culture emerged in the early eighties with the first experiments in workshopped worker theatre productions[1] and was given conscious form and voice in the mid eighties after the establishment of the Culture and Working Life Project and with the formation of the Durban Cultural Workers Local[2].

The name means: "A current in the sea where air movement causes ripples on top of the water surface and ends up influencing the nearby climatic conditions through its breeze." Msinga is a largely rural Area with 70% of its Area being Traditional Authority land held in trust by the Ingonyama Trust. The remaining 30% of land is Commercial Farm Land, all of which is located to the North of Pomeroy. Due to the rural nature of the Municipality, approximately 99% of the population lives in traditional areas.
