Prof Delport: Talking about music, say you get now a thousand rand and you can go and buy CD’s. What kind of
CD’s would you buy, would you buy for your learners? Say, say you get now a thousand rand and you can go and
buy CD’s. What kind of CD’s would you look, would you buy for, would you buy for your learners? Say, say you
get now a thousand rand and you can go and buy CD’s. What kind of CD’s would you look for, would you buy for
your learners?
A: (Laughing) Ah, ah. They, they do like rapping, they do, do like the rap. Ja, sometimes this learners are very
sharp. They, they can ... rap! What about something that in Xhosa they can do, they can make a bundle of words
that are similar in Xhosa. They, they do like that kind of things. They, they do like that kind of things. But my
difference would be, for myself I would like them to, at least to to to know how the ... the xylophone. Ja , how
to play a xylophone or how to ... may be, not a steel band. Something like that so that. When you mix it with the
xylophones when it comes up with ah ah ... Ja, ja yes, yes, ja but I think, if, if you can buy these CD’s, they do

Prof Delport: Why, why would you buy this?
D: They like it, they enjoy it, they dance it.
Prof Delport: And because you like it, they also like it?
A: I don’t like that music, I can’t do it. Yes, yes but I can buy it for them. So that they can ... They could come...
If they know teachers who would play rap music for us to be. They would love it and come to the class. They
would enjoy the class very much and they would come to the class. They would not bunk school. They would
come, they would come. The other thing is, if they had the knowledge to play the other musical instruments. I
would appreciate that because I cannot play even one instrument. But if they can be able to play to to you see
that would be... I once had a workshop with Pedro and then we did, we made that ...
