16 February 2010 MTN Backs the Education for All Global Campaign 16 February 2010 MTN backs the Education for All global campaign The MTN Group has again partnered with FIFA ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa, this time for the world’s largest cause-related campaign. Called 1GOAL: Education for All Mobile Campaign (1GOAL), the initiative will see MTN and its partners collect names and support from the public, footballers and celebrities to petition all governments to meet their “Education for All” target by 2015. 1GOAL will then deliver the millions of names collected through the campaign to the governments ahead of the next UN meeting on Millennium Development Goals in September 2010. MTN, FIFA, the GSM Association, other mobile operators, global football stars, educational champions, charities and campaigners have joined forces to support 1GOAL – a legacy initiative of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Operators serving more than 900 million mobile users, over 100 million of which are MTN subscribers, will deliver an international mobile communications campaign of unprecedented reach. The campaign combines the platform of the world’s biggest sporting occasion (the FIFA World Cup) with the world’s largest medium, to harness public support for 1GOAL. Kicking off on April 20, 52 days before the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ opening game at Soccer City in Johannesburg, 1GOAL will enable millions of people to sign up, via a host of mobile response mechanisms, demonstrating to global leaders and the UN that universal education is a universal demand. Says MTN Group Executive, Corporate Affairs, Ms Nozipho January-Bardill: “MTN regards the 1 GOAL: Education for All Mobile Campaign as a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to social development in underdeveloped and emerging markets with a specific focus on education. Our involvement in this campaign is an extension of the developmental role we continue to play in our markets through the work of our foundations. “One of the responsibilities that come with operating a business in highly indebted parts of the world, which are characterized by dysfunctional education systems and high levels of poverty, is responding to the nation’s social needs and to work with partners - including government, civil society organisations and the business sector to effect social change,” January-Bardill says. Education for All is the international commitment that world leaders have signed up to, to provide good quality public education to all children and adults by 2015. The commitment includes prioritising those who are currently missing out on an education, getting them into school, and making sure when they're in school they get the chance to learn, with qualified teachers. After the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, the Global Campaign for Education and its member national coalitions will continue the campaign until the presentation of the petition to the world leaders in September. Says the GSMA’s CEO, Mr Rob Conway: “Our Board has recognised the role, responsibility and reach of mobile in harnessing global support for universal education, a critical part of the UN’s mission to eliminate world poverty. As a result, today we announce a collaborative campaign that is unprecedented in our industry, utilising the scale of the world’s largest medium to make a real difference to the future for millions of children in the world.” World leaders are meeting in September 2010 to discuss their ongoing commitments to Education for All and the 1GOAL Mobile Campaign will enable tens of millions of people to let those leaders know that education for all can help end world poverty. The mobile campaign, coordinated by the GSMA, will comprise a host of mobile communications tools, including mobile advertising, applications and messaging plus innovative football related content. The GSMA and 1GOAL will provide the marketing tools to operators and others that support the campaign. It will enable millions of people to sign up, via a host of mobile response mechanisms, demonstrating global leaders and the UN that universal education is a universal demand. By signing up, mobile users will join a hugely impressive list of players, celebrities and world leaders who have already pledged their support for 1GOAL. These include, among others, Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Aaron Mokoena, Matthew Booth and Nwankwo Kanu.

ABOUT 1GOAL: Education for ALL: In 2000, 164 world governments came together to create the UN Millennium Development Goals. 2 of the 8 goals involve ending poverty through providing education for all: • To ensure that all boys and girls complete primary schooling by 2015. • To ensure that girls have the opportunity for education at all levels by 2015. They promised to make sure there was enough money and that the policies were in place to make it a reality. Since then many countries have abolished school fees, spending was increased by $4 billion and an extra 40 million children are now going to school. 1GOAL is an initiative to mobilise support to hold world leaders to these promises for 2015. 1GOAL is part of a large global education initiative: the Class of 2015, http://www.classof2015.org The campaign will engage and mobilise the World Cup audience through films, digital & print channels globally, involving some of the biggest broadcasters, sponsors, players, teams and nations in the world.

EDITOR/ Sarah Terrazas FRONT COVER/ Children queuing for food at a SWAPOL feeding station in Swaziland. Many of the children SWAPOL helps have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS or are themselves infected. CREDIT / David Taylor LAYOUT/ Do Good Advertising ADDRESS/ Action for Southern Africa 231 Vauxhall Bridge Road London EMAIL/ SW1V 1EH [email protected] TEL/ WEBSITE/ 020 3263 2001 www.actsa.org note from the editor WELCOME TO THE FINAL EDITION OF ACTSA NEWS FOR 2010. As plans get underway for 2011, we look back on a busy year. As expected, all eyes were on South Africa over the summer. In this issue we reflect on the positive effect the World Cup could have for development in southern Africa, and our plans to build on what was achieved. We are grateful to Aaron Mokoena, captain of the South African football team, for granting us an exclusive interview. In it, he talks about his impressions of the World Cup and its legacy for his country, and the work of his foundation, which helps children in South Africa participate in football. Our focus for this issue of ACTSA News is Swaziland. ACTSA has long been campaigning for democracy in Africa’s only absolute monarchy, and on page six we look at how a decline in rights and democracy in the country is compounded by a growing economic crisis. In October we were delighted to host a visit from Stephen Lewis, who spoke at our conference on gender and development in southern Africa which followed the ACTSA AGM.

Yet, a pre-season tournament in 2008 featuring the two glamour soccer clubs of South Africa, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, and the global brand of Manchester United, revealed a racially fractured soccer fandom that contradicted these notions of national unity through soccer.

  • Music Cuisine
    The culture of South Africa is known for its ethnic and cultural diversity. The South African black majority still has a substantial number of rural inhabitants who lead largely impoverished lives. It is among these people, however, that cultural traditions survive most strongly; as blacks have become increasingly urbanised and Westernised, aspects of traditional culture have declined. Urban blacks usually speak English or Afrikaans in addition to their native tongue. Music There is great diversity in music from South Africa. Many black musicians who sang in Afrikaans or English during apartheid have since begun to sing in traditional African languages, and have developed a unique style called Kwaito. Of note is Brenda Fassie, who launched to fame with her song "Weekend Special", which was sung in English. More famous traditional musicians include Ladysmith Black Mambazo, while the Soweto String Quartet performs classic music with an African flavour. White and Coloured South African singers are historically influenced by European musical styles. Cuisine The cuisine of South Africa is heavily meat-based and has spawned the distinctively South African social gathering known as a braai, or barbecue. Braai is widely popular, especially with whites, and includes meat, especially boerewors or spicy sausages, and mielies (maize) or Mielie-meal, often as a porridge, or pearl millet, a staple food of black South Africans. Pastries such like koeksisters and desserts like melktert (milk tart) are also universally popular. Vegetarianism is becoming widely accepted. Gender roles In general, all racial and ethnic groups in South Africa have long-standing beliefs concerning gender roles, and most are based on the premise that women are less important, or less deserving of power, than men.
