Abafazi pandle (Field Card)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR062 (1957)
Drinking parties in this region were usually held inside the huts as there is plenty of wind over the open downs, especially near the sea. The song calls on the women to leave the hut to the men, as they pass the beer around and sing their drinking songs.

Wine has been made in the Western Cape region of South Africa for over 300 years. At first, slaves and indigenous Khoisan worked the vineyards owned by white European settlers. Classified as 'Coloureds,' the descendants of these laborers have continued to work these vineyards for generations. Until recently, they could not own the houses they lived in, and were paid for their labor partly in alcohol. This instituted form of abuse – called the dop system – was designed by wine farm owners to encourage alcohol dependency in their workers so that they would not leave the farm to look for work elsewhere. Wine has been made in the Western Cape region of South Africa for over 300 years. At first, slaves and indigenous Khoisan worked the vineyards owned by white European settlers, and the descendants of these laborers have continued to work these vineyards for generations. Until recently, laborers could not own their houses, and were paid for their labor partly in alcohol. This exploitation – called the dop system – was designed by wine farm owners to encourage alcohol dependency in their workers so that they would not leave the farm to look for work elsewhere. This film focuses on two wine farms where “empowerment” projects have recently been started in response to calls for change. The wine farm workers receive part of the profits from the sale of “empowerment” brand wine Winds of Change. They have used this money to buy their own houses and shares in the wine farm business. On the surface, these “empowerment” projects seem to be a radical departure from the abusive, paternalistic labor relationship between farm owners and workers that has existed for so long. But the legacy of centuries of abuse cannot be eradicated overnight. The film tells an optimistic – but realistic – story about life and change in the new South Africa.

Rehad spent most of his young life in exile and became politically active himself. On this intensely personal journey into his past, Rehad realizes he is following in his fathers footsteps as he reviews his relationship with his own estranged teenage son.
