Mannenberg
"Mannenberg" is a classic of South African marabi-influenced Cape jazz, composed by Abdullah Ibrahim and first recorded in 1974. Released under Ibrahim's former name Dollar Brand on the vinyl album ''Mannenberg - "Is Where It's Happening"'' (featuring just two long cuts), the title track is particularly notable for the saxophone solo by Basil "Manenberg" Coetzee, for which he earned his nickname.〔"Farewell to a musical legend", ''Sunday Tribune'', 15 March 1998.〕 Inspired by and named after the Cape Flats township of Manenberg (although spelled differently), it was an instant hit and later became identified with the struggle against apartheid, "a beloved anthem of hope and resistance for many South Africans".〔(''Sunday Times'' Heritage Project. )〕

The producer was Rashid Vally and the recording was made in June 1974 in a studio in Cape Town, "against a backdrop of forced removals as the apartheid government finalised its destruction of District Six and evicted coloured families from homes throughout the city".〔(''Sunday Times'' Heritage Project. )〕 Asked in an interview how the title came about, Ibrahim said: "Because Basil〔(McDonald, Steven, "Basil Coetzee biography" at Allmusic )〕 was from Manenberg and for us Manenberg was just symbolic of the removal out of District Six, which is actually the removal of everybody from everywhere in the world, and Manenberg specifically because… it signifies, it’s our music, and it’s our culture…"〔("I write what I know best" - interview with Abdullah Ibrahim by Sue Valentine, ''Sunday Times'' Heritage Project. )〕
