Dr Don Mattera


Tumi Mogorosi presented Group Theory: Black Music, remembering the late Dr. A.B. Xuma and honouring his enduring legacy - February 2023

Within the historical memory of Sophiatown lies the debris of yesteryear’s urban Black life, We can think of Can Themba’s House of Truth and Bloke Modisane’s Shangri-la as such spaces that lie beneath the rubble of a once-was dream of freedom, perennially deferred. Dr Xuma’s house (which is one of the houses left after the demolition and forced removals) remains, within this historical memory of freedom fighters, as a site where Black theory as resistance was practiced. Tumi Mogorosi’s Group Theory: Black Music as an interrogation of the “afterlife” of Apartheid finds an articulation within the walls of Xuma’s house. The Black freedom project (unfinished) is revisited by Mogorosi’s insistence on Black Music as a socio-political terrain that drives, at its core, a meditation on continually deferred dreams of liberation. The concert at the Trevor Huddleston Centre was dedicated to Xuma and his comrades.
