recreation community-based field bands in disadvantaged areas of the
Republic of South Africa.

2014 Report to Society
Nature of report
This report integrates the Foundation’s financial, administrative, governance, managerial
and operational activities within the contexts in which the company finds itself operating
in society.
Reference to these and related issues are carried through the Report, the contents of
which are guided by the recommendations of the Integrated Reporting Committee of
South Africa published in January 2011 and subsequently updated.
As a non-profit company with resource constraints the Foundation is, however, aware of
the limitations to accurate measurement of its broader impact, although independent
assessments are conducted from time-to-time. Thus, while endeavouring to include reports
on all matters associated with its work, the Foundation issues this as a Report to Society,
rather than claiming it to be a fully Integrated Report.
This report complies with all statutory obligations contained in the Companies Act No 71
of 2008 (as amended) and contains a full set of financial statements for the financial year
January to December 2014 inclusive.

The Field Band Foundation NPC
A Foundation of learning
Founded in 1996 to provide informal music training using the global showband concept,
the Field Band Foundation has at heart the development of lifeskills for youth-at-risk.
The Foundation believes that improved quality of life comes from a holistic appreciation
of individual and community wellbeing. A critical mass of confident young people
who have the appropriate balance between their personal rights and their collective
responsibilities, will contribute to a vibrant civil society (Field Band Foundation strategy,
2014)
The Foundation operates 48 Field Bands, each consisting of an average 137 members,
aged seven to 21 years.
A different recipe for learning
The Field Band Foundation model of education is based on the provision of sets of high
and low brass, and pit and marching percussion instruments in 24 communities across all
provinces, each set managed by a Project Officer and five young community tutors.
Two bands are formed in each community, and two rehearsals a week take place as
extra-curricula activities. The bands are situated in townships and/or in rural areas where
cultural and after school infrastructure is deficient and where young people are most at
risk of picking up negative social and life habits.
Band members work together with their leaders to develop performance products first
and foremost. These could be local street parades, recruitment concerts at schools, or
performances for a sponsor. Ultimately, though, the most important event is the creation
of an entry to the Foundation’s annual regional festivals and national championships.
The emphasis is on members being able to participate in music and dance as quickly
as possible, so that they experience themselves as being able to accomplish something
they never thought they could.
Under the leadership of the Project Officer, tutors plan rehearsals, arrange music , learn
about managing their sections, work, teach and perform together. They are central to
providing an enjoyable and empowering experience for everyone, that is educational
in multiple ways. It is what musicologists call musicking – music making within a
determinedly social network.
8
2014 Report to Society
Tutors usually come up through the ranks as band members and are identified by
their willingness to take on extra responsibilities in the band, and then to undertake a
preparatory training course called Tutor in Training. Supplemented with a manual carefully
written to offer the start of a basic music education, this course also stresses the values of
the Foundation that must inform all behaviour of these young would-be leaders.
A tutor-in-training might then be placed in charge of one of the sections of a band, and
paid a small stipend for their work even thought they remain essentially volunteers. It is
here that a significant aspect of the arts education learning takes place – through role
modelling and the opportunity to be exposed to alternative music and life style choices.
While the goal is to develop young, responsible citizens of South Africa who are
empowered to improve their own circumstances, the chosen medium of work of the
Foundation is through brass and percussion training, movement and choreography.
Consequently, the arts education methodologies employed must pay direct attention
to the contexts of the target students, as well as make explicit the fundamental values
of the organisation. The Foundation’s values were decided upon at the inception of the
organisation and have since been regularly re-viewed with members to ensure continued
relevance and ownership. These values are:
•Honesty
•Integrity
•Respect
•Empathy
•Diversity
•Self-belief
•Equality
•Excellence
•Discipline.
These also form the basis of a member’s Code of Conduct. The values and the
educational aims of the organisation are therefore deeply intertwined.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
A UNITED EFFORT OF
INTER-GENERATIONAL
BENEFIT
W
elcome, friend of the Field Band Foundation, to this 2014 Report
to Society, accounting for a year in which we set ourselves up for
realistic growth, and did so in ways that will deepen our work, and
practically improve the more than 6 500 young lives in our care. We
are operating with a sober view of what we can do best with the
support we enjoy.
Beyond the razzmatazz of our performances, you rightly expect the Foundation to
approach its work in ways that are focussed, realistic and brave; and to do this in
ways that will ensure lasting success. It is critical that we do so, for the Foundation’s
work provides exactly the sort of platform that young people of determination can,
and mostly will, grasp to better their lives.
This is work that has already seen more than 40 000 youngsters pass through our
programmes, 23 800 attending for a minimum of three years, in 79 600 years of
developmental training.
This all costs far more money than we’d normally need for basic band operations.
Yet our social development programmes, specialist tutoring courses, whole-person
development projects, performance and event management training, deepened
lifeskills teaching, one-on-one mentoring, community crisis interventions, healthcare
outreach, and educational upskilling, are all important to the whole–person
development of Foundation members, our raison d’etre, and these practical aspects
of living our mission must be properly resourced.
12
2014 Report to Society
We thus started a process towards the end of the year to reassess our cost base and
to seek greater efficiency and effectiveness across the full spectrum of Foundation
activities.
Getting this right means resourcing operations and all our services realistically,
investing to ensure that skills are correctly developed and deployed, and sticking
to efficiency in all activities. We will do this together with our supporters, public
and private sectors, international and local sponsors, volunteers, staff, tutors, band
members, and families these coming years.
United in a noble purpose of practical consequence, your generosity and consistent
presence alongside us will resonate across the generations of this South Africa, and
in the society we’re building for the youngsters to come. Thank you for your profound
commitment to country and people. Your steadfastness matters, and we doff our
caps to you.
Herman Mashaba
The Field Band Foundation NPC
CEO’S REPORT
MUSIC THAT
TEACHES
T
he period under review was one in which the Field Band Foundation
consolidated its operational activities in expanding the reach of its various
teaching and learning programmes. This gave greater meaning to our
mission of using music and dance as basic platforms on which to inculcate
profoundly useful lifeskills.
This happened in 24 localities with 48 bands across all provinces; and in a year of
active recruitment that saw our current membership at 6 586, a significant increase
of 1 399 on the previous year. It also took place in an emotionally difficult period
where the Foundation suffered the loss of our extraordinary CEO for most of the
Foundation’s existence, Retha Cilliers, who died on 11 February 2014.
As you will note in this Report, the Foundation has continued its activities with
purpose and has deepened its positive impact on the lives of beneficiaries in a
myriad ways. This is seen in the intense leadership development work of the Field
Band Academy, the Putting Down Roots programme that strengthens our local
operational management abilities, the PULSE partnership that brings a holistic
understanding of community health and diversity challenges to both South African
and Norwegian participants, lifeskills training at band level, and in the rollout of
gender transformation awareness and action across the regions.
Our work has gone beyond such internal teaching to a rollout to 5 000 people
(mostly of familial association with Field Bands) participating in the ABSA-sponsored
Abet (adult basic education and training) programme, and the start of this
14
2014 Report to Society
important project’s second phase. It has been supported by the growing reach
of the Foundation’s social development programme to members and families in
situations of distress.
All of this, of course, nestles within the joy, disciplined application, and determined
focus on high quality musical, dance and choreography performances by Field
Bands. In 2014 these saw our members put forward their best in a successful
tour to Flanders and Europe, during exchange programmes to Europe and the
US, in regional festivals and at the national championships, and in many local
performances across the country.
Whether in their interactions with foreign partners and audiences, or in local
performances and community development initiatives, members of the Field Band
Foundation point to a future of tolerance, excellence, willingness to learn, and
respect for values in how they live and work. It is an honour to be walking on this
path to the South Africa they are helping to build.

AUDIT, GOVERNANCE
AND RISK
COMMITTEE
REPORT
T
he Audit, Governance and Risk Committee (the Committee) appointed in
respect of the 2014 financial year of the Field Band Foundation provides
this report, which incorporates the requirements of section 94(7) f of the
Companies Act and the King III principles. The committee’s operation is
guided by detailed terms of reference that are informed by the Companies
Act and King III and was approved by the board.
The Audit, Governance and Risk Committee
Section 34(1) of the Companies Act provides that a non-profit company such as the
Field Band Foundation is not required to comply with the extended accountability
requirements set out in Chapter 3 of the said Act. Part D (Section 94) of this Chapter
of the Act sets out the requirements for Audit Committees established in terms of the
Act.
In order to demonstrate its commitment to good corporate governance, the Board
of the Field Band Foundation resolved to establish the terms of reference of a
committee of the Board of Directors to be known as the Audit, Governance and
Risk Committee. The Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of Directors and is
answerable to the Board.
In addition to having specific statutory responsibilities to the stakeholders as required
by the Companies Act, the committee assists the board by advising and making
submissions on financial reporting, internal financial controls, external audit functions
and statutory as well as regulatory compliance of the Field Band Foundation
Terms of reference
The Committee’s formal terms of reference are regularly reviewed and updates were
made during the past year. The committee has executed its duties during the past
financial year in accordance with these terms of reference.
18
2014 Report to Society
Composition
The Executive Committee nominated the committee in respect of the 2014 financial year
and the Board appointed its members at a Board meeting held on 28 November 2014.
Board members will be requested to approve the appointment of the members of the
committee for the 2015 financial year at the annual general meeting scheduled for 23
May 2015.
Board member Willie Erasmus chairs the committee. The committee further comprises
two other Board members, namely Karen Krakowitzer and Obakeng Lekabe. The board
has satisfied itself that the members are suitably skilled, independent and qualified to fulfil
their duties.
The Chief Executive Officer, Financial Officer and external auditors attend all committee
meetings, by invitation.
Meetings
The committee meets at least twice during a financial year .The first meeting in respect
of the 2014 financial year was held 28 November 2014, and the final meeting in respect of
the past financial year is scheduled for 22 May 2015.
Execution of duties
In the execution of its duties, the committee:
• Evaluates the independence and effectiveness of the external auditors as well as their
performance and recommends their appointment
• Reviews the draft audited financial statements and relevant sections of the annual report
• Reviews, together with the external auditors, the conformity of the audited financial
statements and related schedules with IFRS for SME’s and the company’s accounting
policies
• Reviews the external audit plan and fees payable to the external auditors;
• Reviews the external audit findings and reports
• Approves any non-audit services performed by the external auditors and the policy
in this regard
• Monitors compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• Assesses key risk areas facing the Foundation and recommends risk mitigation measures
• Advises and updates the board on issues ranging from accounting standards to
published financial information
• Evaluates the finance function and experience of the Financial Officer.
Oversight of risk management
The committee plays an integral role in the Foundation’s risk management process. This
role is a recent addition to the scope of the committee .Risk identification, measurement
2014 Report to Society

The Field Band Foundation NPC
and management will be addressed by the Chief Executive officer and other key
managers in the Foundation, assisted by certain board members if necessary. A risk
management plan, risk register and risk policy will be developed for presentation to and
consideration by the committee in the near future.
The committee has satisfied itself that the following areas have been
appropriately addressed:
Financial reporting risks
Internal financial controls
Fraud risks
Internal financial controls
During the year under review, the committee:
• Reviewed the effectiveness of the foundation’s system of internal financial controls
including receiving assurance from management and external audit
• Reviewed significant issues raised by the external auditors in their reports
• Reviewed policies and procedures for preventing and detecting fraud.
Based on the processes and assurances obtained, the committee believes that the
significant internal financial controls are effective.
Regulatory compliance
Compliance with laws and regulations will be a new agenda item of the committee
and standing agenda item in future.
External audit
The preparation of the annual financial statements is the responsibility of the directors.
However, the external auditors are responsible for reporting on whether the annual
financial statements are fairly presented in compliance with IFRS for SME’s.
The committee evaluates the independence and effectiveness of the external auditors
and considers whether any non-audit services rendered by such auditors substantively
impair their independence. In this regard, a non-audit services policy is in place, which
is reviewed annually by the committee.
Based on processes followed and assurances received, the committee has no concerns
regarding the external auditors’ independence. Based on the Foundation’s satisfaction
with the results of the activities outlined above, it will recommend to the board the
reappointment of KPMG as the independent registered audit firm and Maureen
Rattigan as the individual registered auditor of the company, respectively.
The external auditors did not perform any non-audit services during the year under
20
2014 Report to Society
review. However, KPMG have been requested to perform a forensic audit into a case of
fraudulent expense claims which has been uncovered in one of the regions. This matter will
be reported on once the forensic audit has taken place and their findings submitted to the
Foundation’s management.
Financial officer
The committee has performed its annual evaluation of the finance function of the
Financial Officer. Sally Young, who held this position for many years, retired from service
in January 2015. Although a new person to lead the Finance Function has not yet been
appointed, the current accounting team under the leadership of Edgar Mutemararo and
some guidance from the CEO and Audit Committee chairperson, demonstrated that they
have the appropriate expertise and experience to meet the responsibilities required of
this function. The committee has further satisfied itself that the resources within the finance
function are adequate to provide the necessary support to the Financial Officer. In making
these assessments, the committee has also obtained feedback from the external auditors.
Based on the processes and assurances obtained, the committee is satisfied and believes
that the accounting practices are effective.
Annual Financial Statements
Following the review by the committee of the annual financial statements of the Field Band
Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2014, the committee is of the view that in all
material respects they comply with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and IFRS
for SME’s and fairly present the financial position of the Foundation at that date and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended.
Having achieved its objectives, the committee has recommended the approval of the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 by the Board. The
board has subsequently approved the annual financial statements, which will be open for
presentation at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
On behalf of the Audit, Governance and Risk Committee,

GROWING WITH
SALLY
YOUNG
Sally Young, our indomitable Finance Manager, retired at the end of 2014, leaving
the Finance Department three times larger, and with solid financial controls that
have helped bring the Foundation consistently unqualified annual audits.
An inveterate gardener and lover of all flowering things, “Aunt Sally” also grew
the younger members of her staff with her own brand of no-nonsense practicality
combined with a generous dose of humour. For all this nurturing, she will be
fondly remembered. May your garden continue to flourish Sally, and thank you for
everything you have done for the Foundation.

Chairman visits US partners
In August, Chairman Herman Mashaba and his wife Connie attended the
Drum Corps International (DCI) championships in Indianapolis at the invitation
of longstanding Foundation partners, the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps of
California. This premier event is the apex of DCI events that attract more than
400 000 spectators each US summer. The Mashabas had the pleasure of watching
the Blue Devils win the 2014 championships.
Herman also addressed the DCI board about the Field Band Foundation’s work
in SA and its partnerships in the US. Another highlight of the visit was meeting with
Foundation members Phineas Makutu and Gift Monageng who were taking part in
the national tour of the Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps, another strong American
supporter of the Field Band Foundation.

GATHERINGS
Performing and winning
One of the many lifeskills taught through the Field Band Foundation is the joy of healthy
competition and performance excellence. This is best showcased at the Foundation’s
annual regional and national championships, made possible by the generous support of
the national Department of Arts & Culture (DAC).
Regional festivals
Started two years ago to accommodate the growing number of Field Bands, the
Foundation’s regional festivals brought 22 bands from all nine provinces together in
July to sharpen their skills and to compete for places at the national championships.
Video of the regional festival performances are sent to the Field Band Academy for
bands to be judged on creativity, musical ability, choreography and show design. The
following bands thus qualified for the national championships held in Johannesburg in
October:
First Division (bands five years old or younger):

National Championships
Ten qualifying bands took part in this premier event on the Foundation’s calendar
on 10 and 11 October at the famous Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. This large
undertaking saw 1 455 Field Band members perform to an audience of peers and to 500
members of the public. The two days saw the involvement of 67 staff members, the use of
23 buses, the serving of 5 220 meals, and band members travelling a total of 7 926km.
Judges for the event were for the first time drawn almost exclusively from South Africa.
A new Premier Division sub-competition, named in honour of the Foundation’s late
CEO Retha Cilliers, saw bands give their own interpretive performance of the set-piece
“Summertime” (from George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess”), arranged for the occasion by
Regional Operations Manager, Peter Aaron. The PFG Londulusha Field Band from Springs

won this Retha Cilliers National Trophy for prescribed music, and this band went on to win
the overall top slot in the Premier Division, followed by De Beers PPC Kimberley Field Band
and the Black Like Me Soweto Field Band.
Top honours in the First Division for bands five-years-old or younger were taken by the Anglo
American Kuruman Field Band, followed by the Anglo American Thabazimbi Field Band,
and the PPC Grahamstown Field Band.
The Foundation was honoured to receive formal opening addresses at the championships
from DAC representative Cllr. Zarina Motlala, and visiting Foundation partners, Donna
Batchelor (President of the US Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps) and Rita Hirsum-Lystad
(President of the Norwegian Band Federation).
Sponsors and other VIP supporters were once again generously hosted by De Beers
Consolidated Mines and the DAC, and addressed by De Beers director, Mpumi Zikalala.

GATHERINGS
South Africans abroad
Supported by a generous grant from the Belron World Foundation, initiated by Carglass
Belgium, hand-in-hand with the VLAMO Flemish music association, and with help from
the Norwegian Band Federation’s National Music Festival, a small but determined group
of dancers and musicians set off on the third-ever Field Band Foundation international
performance tour on 17 June, led by CEO Nicky du Plessis.
The Foundation’s national ensemble was created from across SA, with a unique
production of well-known African music compiled into fast-paced entertainment.
The tour to Belgium’s Flanders included televised performances and appearances at
shopping centres, city squares the beachfront at Oostende, and with a moving tribute to
South Africa’s fallen of the Great War, at Ypres (picture below right).
The group also took part in activities arranged by sponsoring supporter Carglass Belgium,
including performances at their head office and at a school for children with disabilities
with which Carglass is associated, and in social responsibility workshops. This part of
the tour closed with a performance at a Carglass-hosted dinner where Belron World
Foundation director, Johan Mortier, presented the Foundation with a generous €100 000
grant (picture below left).
The ensemble then flew to Trondheim to take part in our partner Norwegian Band
Federation’s “national festival of all bands”, held every few years with more than 300
school and other amateur bands. The Field Band Foundation performed in a street
parade, at a major open-air stage performance, and in various other public places.
The tour ended with a performance at a prestigious Grand Tattoo at the Lerkendal
Stadium, alongside Norway’s famous King’s Guard drill squad.

Marching across America
With tickets sponsored by FBF Incorporated USA, two Foundation members, Phineas
Makutu and Gift Monageng (second and third from left in picture below), jetted off to
Chicago in May to take part in the US Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps’ intense USA tour.
They bring to 51 the number of Foundation members who have been hosted and trained
by this steadfast partner organisation, and cared for by Pioneer Corps director, Roman
Blenski (far left in picture below).
During the two-month tour, Makutu and Monageng covered almost 25 000km, took part
in 29 competitions, 12 parades, three exhibition performances, and five church concerts.
They ended by competing at the extremely tough Drum Corps International (DCI)
gathering.
Notes Phineas: “I was very happy to be selected to compete in the solo and ensemble
performances, also known as ‘Ironies’ at DCI. I competed with the world’s best players,
qualified for the finals, and got an 84,5% mark, which placed me in overall 6th position”.
For his part, Gift says that “I would like to thank the Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps/Colour
Guard for accepting me with open arms and giving me the DCI experience of a lifetime.
The first two weeks were the hardest training for me as a musician because they give you
your formations and music and a marching technique where they train you to march as
a robot. But as time went by, I got used to it. My first performance was super great but I
was nervous because it was my first in a dome and in front of 11 000 people.
“The percussion would wake us up early at around 4am or 5am with loud drumming,
saying it’s their tradition. The best day of my experience was the tradition where they
welcome and give you a necklace which is called a Shamrock, and it has your member
number on the back. From the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate it”

TRAINING & LEARNING
Learning about inclusivity
One of the Foundation’s gender equality challenges is that it operates in a context
were sometimes outdated patriarchal cultural norms are strongly entrenched, making
it difficult for females to contribute equally as leaders and decision-makers in society. A
10 year-old Foundation member describes growing up as a girl in Alexandra township,
Johannesburg, thus:
“We play with many people and I’ve got a lot of friends, but other people rape
each other and there is so much violence happening there. If you are boy you
enjoy life. Girls get pregnant. I don’t want to be a girl”.
Within the Foundation, a tendency exists for males to dominate the percussion and brass
sections in bands (which are sometimes seen by members as most glamorous of Field
Band groupings, and which may bring overseas learning opportunities), while females
are mostly represented in dance and pit sections. Leadership training opportunities are
mostly applied for by males, although the Foundation’s tutor-in-training programme has
an almost equal gender representivity.
A PULSE! survey of attitudes to gender inclusivity and of attitudes to sexual orientation,
conducted in 2014 and carried through interviews and observations in band rehearsals,
staff meetings and public events, found that most staff and members acknowledge
the need for the Foundation to be a gender-equal youth programme (see also PULSE!
on p38, but also found discrepancies arise when specific roles were interrogated. Some
members felt that boys and girls are by nature better at different roles within band
activities, even as these views are demonstrably false.
Inclusion of female and homosexual members are particular focus areas for the
Foundation and the allied PULSE! programme, with the 2014 survey also showing that
32
2014 Report to Society
when the Foundation works to its full potential, practically enforcing the values of equality
and respect, it provides a space where members can find a place of belonging, no matter
gender or sexual orientation. Through full participation in Foundation activities, many
female and homosexual members feel empowered and get a chance to lead and express
themselves.
However, we have also seen that these same member groups find it more difficult than
others to be included in bands, often due to negative societal norms. Changing this is an
integral part of the Foundation’s work, being done through sensitisation workshops, gender
equity interventions in appointments made, and through recognition programmes.

Women of the Year
The latter include the Foundation’s specific recognition of its top achieving female
members, many of whom go on to establish centred, balanced lives of professional and
personal growth.
Thus the Foundation’s SAA Woman of the Year in 2008, Thando Buthelezi, has
subsequently become an assistant company secretary for Highway Corporate Services,
an affiliate member of the Chartered Secretaries Institute along the way; and in 2015
joined the board of the Foundation.
Our Woman of the Year in 2009, Itumeleng Maifadi, is improving her Grade 12 results at
the Lifa Abet School, while Motlalepule “Stella” Molelekwa (2012) and Phumzile Twala
(2013) have stayed on in the Field Band Foundation, acting as Programme Officers in
Daniëlskuil and Alexandra respectively.
Extraordinary women of Kimberley and Blouberg
This year, two members have been recognised as the Foundation’s Women of the year
for going far beyond the call of duty in 2014.
Mapule Thomas (seen below right with CEO Nicky du Plessis and Board member Leselane
Ramakgapola) of the Kimberley operation has acted as a Social Officer since 2009,
supporting the local Programme Officer, tutors and members in her work. Her exceptional
support for her team is based on a rare combination of compassion, guidance and
discipline and has been an important part of the remarkable success of this band.
In the country’s northern Blouberg (Senwabarwana) operation, Makoena Rammutla
(seen below left with CEO Nicky Du Plessis and Board member Leselane Ramakgapola)
has also worked since 2009 as a Social Officer who has built credible relationships of trust
between her Field Band, parents, donors and the broader local community. In addition
to this complex work, Makoena also stood in as Acting Programme officer at the Blouberg
Project in 2012/13, maintaining the band’s high performance standards and ensuring that
operation’s continued participation in exchange and Field Band Academy programmes.

Social development
Situations of distress
Field bands are purposefully situated in places of great economic deprivation. Working
to offer greater possibilities in life to members is the core of the Foundation’s work, but
immediate challenges in the here-and-now of what members experience must also be
tackled. Much of this is done through the Foundation’s social development function.
With a holistic approach to whole-person-development, the social development work of
the Foundation works alongside relevant state programmes and looks to the emotional
and material needs of members, along with interventions that provide skills that will
increase opportunities to create sustainable livelihoods.
Priorities in this work are:
•
Children living in child-headed households
•
Children who are abandoned or neglected; and
•
Children living with unemployed parent(s) or guardians (62% of members’ families).
Beneficiaries are categorised as “direct” or “indirect” beneficiaries. Direct beneficiaries
are Foundation members or officers identified as individuals-in-distress and in need of
psycho-social, medical or emotional intermediation. Indirect beneficiaries include the
families of members-in-distress.
Social development interventions by the Foundation showed a steady increase in

ABSA’s Abet Reach
Abet – reaching 5 000 in literacy, numeracy, enterprise development
ABSA’s sponsorship of the Foundation’s adult basic education and training (Abet)
campaign saw this carried through 11 Foundation regions over a year ending in mid2014, providing training in literacy, numeracy as well as enterprise development to 5 000
beneficiaries. In examinations run in August 2014, heartening pass rates of 83% in both
literacy and numeracy were achieved.
Thanks to these results, and to the professionalism of the programme’s rollout, ABSA has
renewed its support for this work, and its next phase began in September, scheduled to
close in August 2015, and focusing this year on Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and
KwaZulu-Natal.
Roots of future growth
Funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the “Putting Down Roots”
programme trains facilitators in music teaching and administration to assist the
Foundation at local operational level. The programme also provides five Norwegian
tutors from the Norwegian Band Federation to the Field Band Academy, all of whom
have already worked with the Foundation for at least a year.
During 2014 the Roots programme benefitted from two visits from the Head of School at
Toneheim Folkehøgskole in Norway, Jon Krognes. These were particularly helpful as the
teaching ethos at the Field Band Academy is inspired by methods used at Toneheim.
Krognes ran staff workshops at the Academy, and has been intimately involved in
consolidation and handover training in preparation for the Foundation’s moving forward
after the Roots programme’s has been phased out.

Lessons across the hemispheres
In September 2013 the Field Band Foundation and the Norwegian Band Federation (NMF)
in Norway launched their new exchange program, PULSE!, funded by FK Norway.
This programme works off a holistic understanding of community health and allows
participants from both Norway and SA to learn from each society’s own challenges of
diversity, cross-cultural integration, working with disability, and similar issues of inclusion.
Lessons from this exchange programme are then brought back for use in home countries.
This work allows the broader community development benefits of music to be more
clearly identifiable to participants, allowing them to develop relevant ways of operating
at band level to greatest positive developmental effect.
The different contextual realities of Norway and SA are the programme’s strength. In
Norway, an immigrant influx in recent years means that many urban Norwegian bands
now accommodate a greater diversity of cultures than before. In SA, issues of sometimes
acute poverty and attendant social dysfunction, along with gender and disability
inclusion issues, are often to the fore.
38
2014 Report to Society
PULSE! project activities are being implemented against these two different national
backdrops, but the core focus on how music can be best used to promote healthy
attitudes and behaviors, is the same. Through cross-learning, activities in Norway will
impact on plans in South Africa, while South Africans are providing new experiential
material for Norwegians to adopt in their own programmes – both drawing on respective
strengths and complementing one another.
During the period under review, four Norwegians selected for their experiences in
music therapy, ethno-musicology and gender studies have been working in Field Band
Foundation projects in SA, designing and implementing surveys, devising supportive
programs of skills transfer for tutors, and feeding back important observations that can be
absorbed into operations.
At the same time, five Field Band Foundation tutors have been based at a folk high
school in Norway’s Toneheim, taking part in NMF projects – teaching, sharing and
learning. One of the subjects at Toneheim is “music & health”, with its teaching
strengthened by case studies and experiences from SA.
These five Foundation members returned to SA in the year’s first half to carry their new
knowledge into our local band management, and another five members left for Norway
in September.

TRAINING & LEARNING
An Academy of apex learning
The Field Band Academy provides a one-year training programme for young members
who are either about to become tutors, or have had some time being a tutor. Training
takes place in the unique setting of a former convent that houses three public schools on
a property near Verulum, KwaZulu-Natal and that now boasts a fully-equipped IT training
centre supplied by MTN.
The Academy also received a very welcome boost with a R1 million donation made by
Belron International in memory of late Foundation CEO Retha Cilliers, and presented by
Belron at a ceremony held in Belgium during the Foundation’s 2014 European Tour.
In 2014, 34 field band members and three band Facilitators-in-Training were selected
from South Africa’s diverse cultural, traditional, religious and linguistic backgrounds
to live, learn, make music and work together for a full and intense year of Field Band
Foundation training at the Field Band Academy. Their graduation at year-end brought
the Academy’s alumni strength to 102 members.
In May, long-time Academy head, Marit Bakken, stepped down to return to her native
Norway, and was replaced as Head of School by Nonceba Lushaba. A Masters graduate
in international studies and conflict resolution, Lushaba has experience of transformative
justice programmes using visual arts and narrative techniques, as well as a strong
commitment to leadership development.

COMMUNICATIONS
Telling our story better
During the period under review, all Foundation public communications platforms
were reassessed for their helpfulness and to place the company’s brand in its proper
professional context.
To this end, revised and new platforms were launched at the start of 2015:
New website
Made possible with a special donation and technical support from De Beers, the new
Field Band Foundation website (www.fieldband.org.za) is cleaner, simpler in focus, and
more efficient in terms of easy access to information. It will be the hub of Foundation
news and a base that complements the Foundation’s frequently updated social media
services.
Revamped social media
The Foundation has also unveiled updated and redesigned social media platforms linked
to the website. These are found on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
E-zine re-launched
The revamped quarterly external email newsletter, Music for Life!, is issued to all identified
external and internal stakeholders, and this list of recipients is being vigorously expanded.
Communications volunteers from the University
of the Witwatersrand, School of Arts
42
2014 Report to Society
New HO briefing
A new, professional, monthly internal Head Office update on Foundation strategies,
developments, standards, and staff requirements is now issued by email across all
operations, intended to keep staff and volunteers up-to-speed with company changes,
strategy, activities and related operational developments.
Foundation on film
A new professional eight-minute film on the history, work and future of the Foundation has
been produced at cost by South Africa’s global brand experience specialists, VWV, with
the generous financial support of Mariétta van Rooyen, Judge Neels Claasen, and Simon
Mantell. It can be viewed on the Foundation website’s Home page.
Championships campaign
With the assistance of WHAM! Media and a volunteer team of arts management honours
students from the University of the Witwatersrand, School of Arts. The Foundation’s
communications function undertook an intense PR awareness campaign linked to the
Foundation’s October national championships.
Using radio, print, and electronic public platforms, as well as working alongside the
communications teams of band-sponsoring companies, this campaign took knowledge
of the Foundation’s work and premier event to targeted parts of corporate SA, as well as
to the broader public using both national and local media channels. In addition, a group
of social media publicists worked with the Foundation in a bespoke Twitter social media
campaign that reached 7 338 accounts, with 49 934 impressions.

T
he directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
annual financial statements of The Field Band Foundation NPC, comprising
the statement of financial position at 31 December 2014 and the statements
of comprehensive income, changes in funds and cash flow for the year then
ended, and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and
the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. In addition, the directors are
responsible for preparing the directors’ report.
The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and for maintaining adequate accounting
records and an effective system of risk management.
The directors have made an assessment of the ability of the company to continue as
a going concern and have no reason to believe that the business will not be a going
concern in the year ahead.
The auditor is responsible for reporting on whether the financial statements are fairly
presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Nature of business
The Field Band Foundation is a non-profit company (“NPC”) in terms of the Companies
Act of South Africa. The core objective is the social transformation of youth through the
promotion, establishment and development of educational and recreational community
based field bands.
Results of operations
The results of the Company for the year under review are fully disclosed in the financial
statements.
The Field Band Foundation’s main source of income is donations. A significant number of
the donors pledge their commitment to fund The Field Band Foundation for more than
one year and a number of the donors renew this commitment from time to time.
The timing of the receipt of the donations is determined by the financial circumstances,
including the financial year-end, of each donor. Donations are sometimes made in
advance of The Field Band Foundation’s planned utilisation of the donations in the
furtherance of its stated objectives. In most instances, the donation is utilised for a specific
project or for administration in the following financial year.
As the accounting policy requires income to be accounted for when received in terms
of International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities, the
statement of comprehensive income of The Field Band Foundation can sometimes reflect
significant surplus or cash balance for the period. These funds are allocated to projects or
capital expenditure in the future and/or are being retained for long-term sustainability.
It is also an objective of the directors to ensure that the cash balance available is
sufficient to meet operating costs for at least three months.
During the financial year the company received a special dividend from African
Equity Corporation Proprietary Limited (“African Equity”) amounting to R4 212 000. The
dividend was not paid in cash but credited to a shareholder loan account in favour of
the company. This loan account has in turn been subordinated to Nedbank Limited as
security for funding provided by Nedbank to African Equity to facilitate the payment
of the dividend. Repayments received by the Foundation from African Equity are then
credited to the shareholder loan. During the financial year repayments amounting to
R260 000 were received, leaving the balance outstanding on the shareholder’s loan at
R3 952 000.
52
2014 Report to Society
The dividend contributed to a surplus for the year of R2 747 242, which would otherwise have
been a shortfall of R1 464 758.
Mindful of the projected shortfall excluding the shareholder loan, the directors took steps
at mid-year, including restructuring and retrenchments, to restrict costs for the balance of
the year; and also to ensure that the budgeted costs for the current year are in line with
projected revenue.
Investment in African Equity Corporation Proprietary Limited (“African Equity”)
and Phatsima Properties Proprietary Limited (“Phatsima”)
The Field Band Foundation was given 52 shares (representing 5.2% of the issued share
capital) in African Equity in 2010 and 3 shares (representing 3% of the issued share capital) in
Phatsima in 2006. The shares are recognised at their cost of nil. The directors only recognise
the income from the sale of shares as and when funds are received and therefore, continue
to recognise the shares at a cost of nil. As reported above dividend income is recognised as
and when a dividend is received. 2014 Report to Society

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of The Field Band Foundation NPC
We have audited the financial statements of The Field Band Foundation NPC, which
comprise the statement of financial position at 31 December 2014, and the statements of
comprehensive income, changes in funds and cash flows for the year then ended, and
the notes to the financial statements which include a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 57 to 75.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of
these financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and the requirements of the Companies
Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The Field Band Foundation NPC
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of The Field Band Foundation NPC at 31 December 2014, and its
financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities, and the
requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
Other reports required by the Companies Act
As part of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, we
have read the directors’ report for the purpose of identifying whether there are material
inconsistencies between this report and the audited financial statements. The directors’
report is the responsibility of the respective preparers. Based on reading the directors’
report we have not identified material inconsistencies between this report and the
audited financial statements. However, we have not audited the directors’ report and
accordingly do not express an opinion thereon.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2014
1. Reporting entity
The Field Band Foundation (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in South Africa.
The address of the Company’s registered office is Ground Floor, Block D, The Pavillion,
12 Wessels Street, Cnr 9th Avenue, Rivonia, 2128. The Company is a registered NPC. The
registration number is 1997/002009/08. It is engaged in the promotion, establishment of
educational and recreational community based marching bands.
2. Basis of preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) for Small and Medium-sized Entities (“SME”) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa, 2008 (as amended) and Companies Regulations, 2011.
The financial statements were approved by the Directors on 23 May 2015.
2.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
2.3 Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in South African Rands, which is the Company’s
functional currency. All financial information presented in South African Rands has been
rounded to the nearest unit.
2.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the International Financial
Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
2014 Report to Society
61
The Field Band Foundation NPC
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised
and in any future periods affected.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these financial statements.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these financial statements.
3.1 Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies
of entity at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss
on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency
at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the
period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate
at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency
at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency
differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.
3.2 Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities,
trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and
trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at cost plus any directly
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial
instruments are measured as described below.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts
that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash
management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the
purpose of the statement of cash flows.
62
2014 Report to Society
Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3.9.
Investments in non-listed entities
Investments in non-listed entities are accounted for at cost less any impairment identified.
3.3 Equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The
cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use,
and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they
are located. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying
cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is
capitalised as part of that equipment. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The grant
income is netted against these costs.
When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of equipment and are recognised net
within “other income” in profit or loss.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of equipment is recognised in the carrying amount
of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part
will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of each part of an item of equipment.
2014 Report to Society
63
The Field Band Foundation NPC
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Instruments5 years
Motor vehicles
7 years
Computer equipment
3 years
Office equipment
5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed when indicators that
the assumptions used to make these estimations have changed are identified.
3.4 Impairment
At each reporting date, equipment and financial assets are reviewed to determine
whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there
is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset
(or group of related assets) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the
estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated
recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the assets (or group
of related assets) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount (selling
price less costs to complete and sell, in the case of inventories), but not in excess of the
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised
for the asset (for group of related asses) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.5 Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity
pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution
pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss when
they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and
are expensed as the related service is provided.
64
2014 Report to Society
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus
or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to
pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation
can be estimated reliably.
3.6 Grants
Grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognised initially as
deferred income which is classified under current liabilities. Grants relating to completed
and incomplete asset projects are deducted from the cost of the relevant asset (net
presentation method). The depreciation expense recognised in profit or loss over the
useful life of the asset is calculated from the net cost of the asset which is after deduction
of the corresponding deferred government grant. Grants that compensate the Company
for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same
periods in which the expenses are recognised. Grants are only recognised when there is
reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the
conditions associated with the grant. Deferred income is classified as a current liability as
uncertainty exists as to the timing of the release of the grants.
3.7 Revenue
Donations
Donations, other than cash donations, are recognised when a firm commitment is
received from a donor. If there are conditions attached to the grant funding received
that have not been fulfilled in the reporting period, the grant income is deferred until
such time as it is utilised in terms of the grant funding. The deferred grant income is
recognised in grant funding receivables.
Other operating income
Other operating income comprises dividends received, membership fees and
performance fees which are recognised when cash is received and or, when the service
is rendered.
3.8 Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral
part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the
finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is
2014 Report to Society
65
The Field Band Foundation NPC
allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are
accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the
lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments
over the remaining term of the lease when the contingency no longer exists and the
lease adjustment is known.
3.9 Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is
recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings is recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Grants are received for the purchase of equipment and to compensate for the
non-profit Company’s operational expenditure related to projects. The deferred
income relating to completed assets has been netted-off against the cost of
the respective assets under equipment. The asset will then be depreciated over
its useful life based on the net carrying amount after taking grant funding into
account as per the accounting policy, see note 3.6.
