Artist Neil Goedhals and actor Marcel van Heerden form the post-punk band KOOS. Joined by Gys de Villiers and Megan Kruskal, drummer Velile Nxazonke and aritst Kendell Geers, musical director Goedhals describes KOOS as "net a klomp geraas" (just a lot of noise).
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
