    Masters thesis The Hidden Game A comparative study on rugby and soccer in modern South African society. Authors: Robert Gustafsson & Per Gjörloff Examiner: Dr. Ulla Rosén Supervisor: Dr. Jonas Sjölander Date: 2013-08-29 Subject: History Level: Postgraduate Course code: 4Hi40E ABSTRACT The popular discourse has it that sports take a big part in the everyday life of South Africa. Given its segregated past, we ask the question on how the media discourse were on race, politics and gender during the formative period of circa 1990-1995. Utilizing discourse analysis on newspaper clippings from 1990 to 1995 and 2004 and interviews with players, coaches, administrators and sports activists, we have found that there was indeed a specific white discourse that subjugated the black perspective into the subaltern and formed partnership with the hegemonic traditions of the white apartheid regime.

  • A Framework for the Financial Literacy Skills Required by Professional Athletes in Pursuit of Sustainable Financial Well-Being
    A FRAMEWORK FOR THE FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS REQUIRED BY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES IN PURSUIT OF SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL WELL-BEING by JACO MOOLMAN Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ACCOUNTING SCIENCES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof CC Shuttleworth November 2019 ABSTRACT (IN ENGLISH) Title: A framework for the financial literacy skills required by professional athletes in pursuit of sustainable financial well-being Many individuals spend their working lives attempting to accrue financial resources to sustain them beyond their retirement. The challenge in professional sport is that a professional athlete’s career is often relatively short with various risks that could end it prematurely. In addition, there are various reasons why professional athletes find it challenging to transition to a vocational career after their sporting careers end. This highlights the importance for professional athletes to attain a high level of financial literacy from a young age. Actor-network theory (ANT) provided a suitable theoretical frame for this study by considering the information that could flow in a network around a professional athlete in pursuit of sound financial decisions. This study first developed a framework for the financial literacy skills required by professional athletes in pursuit of sustainable financial well-being. For this purpose, semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 27 interviewees. ANT was applied to guide the selection of interviewees from a network of influencers that could guide a professional athlete’s financial decisions. The results of these interviews and the open-ended responses provided the basis for the contributed framework.
