| − | A specific term used to refer to annual presentations by such mainly English (or Anglicised) institutions such as military garrisons, high schools some lodges and student associations in the 19th century. The programmes were a mixed bag, with comic dialogues, short plays, musical turns, comic songs, tableaux, and the like often made up part of such an evening of "entertainment". However there is strong eveidence that the same kind of event was prevalent among Dutch and Afrikaans communities. (See also [[Debating societies]]) In Afrikaans programmes initially used the English term in parenthesis - i.e. "Entertainment" , but gradually came to employ an Afrikaans term [[Concert|Konsert]] - i.e.:"[[Concert]]" - for the same idea. In the early 20th century Konserte (in this sense) were very popular and the term was even transferred to English (e.g. the "school concert").
