Basil "Manenberg" Coetzee (2 February 1944 - 11 March 1998) was a South African musician, perhaps best known as a saxophonist.

Mountain Records describes Basil thus: 'His distinctive raunchy tenor sound and the untiring commitment to his cultural roots made him one of the best known jazzmen to come out of South Africa. He earned the nickname "Manenberg" after the hugely successful collaboration with Dollar Brand in the late seventies.
