Once that community is brought together, putting to work their reach and support and investment of Laureus’ Founding Patrons and Partners, it creates a powerful message that can help social programmes around that world that use sport as a tool for social change. That message, simply, is Laureus Sport for Good The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation’s goal is to help young people overcome the limitations imposed by challenging social issues including poverty, homelessness, war, violence, drug abuse, discrimination and AIDS. To do this, Laureus supports and assists a worldwide programme of sports-related community programmes that have been working for more than ten years to educate children, protect the vulnerable from illness and even bring people from divided communities together in friendship. This mission was inspired by the words of Laureus Patron, Nelson Mandela. At the very first Laureus World Sports “Using the power of sport as Awards in Monaco, 2000, Mandela said: “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. a tool for social change.” It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.” 4 2017 Annual Review Our successful partnership with Mercedes-Benz South Africa continues to support and Chairman’s amplify our growth, and we extend our sincere gratitude and bid a fond farewell to Florian Report Seidler, whose pioneering work and dedication has shaped Morné Du Plessis the partnership into what it is today.

Our commitment to being a good corporate citizen stems from the belief that we should play our part in ensuring that South Africa continues to grow economically and socially. 6 2017 Annual Review With the ever-growing global and economic development demands, the world requires that the youth’s participation in the economy be maximised. It is this very reason that Mercedes-Benz South Africa contributes to the Laureus Youth Empowerment through Sport (YES) programme as education and youth development is a central pillar in its Corporate Social Responsibility focus. The success of the YES programme is evident in the calibre of leaders it has produced over the years. It’s been a fruitful three years since we became country patron for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in South Africa in 2015. Through this partnership, we continue to make a lasting contribution in the development of the youth of South Africa through sport; supporting positive social change in the communities where Laureus is active. It is this principle that motivated us to join forces with our Dealer Network partners nationwide. a Mercedes-Benz passenger car vehicle, a percentage is donated towards the Laureus Foundation.

Another milestone achieved in 2017 was the opening of our flagship Waves for Change Surf Therapy programme in East London. 2017 also marked the 3rd consecutive year of the Mercedes-Benz South Africa and Laureus Sports for Good Foundation breakfast series. The breakfasts brought together seasoned sporting personalities who unpacked the power of sport and its ability to create change in South Africa. Sports brings people from different walks of life, different races, cultures and ethnicity together. It is all about passion. It is also the passion for sport and for making a change through sport that has brought us together with Laureus in a very fitting partnership. We continue to make a lasting contribution in the development of the youth of South Africa through sport; supporting positive social change in the communities where Laureus is active. We are indeed proud of this association with Laureus and believe that 2018 will be an even greater year together. 2017 Annual Review 7 Trustees Morne du Plessis Muditambi Ravele Johannes Fritz Deshun Deysel Marlene Coetzee-George Craig Nossel he Laureus Sport for Good Foundation Trust South Africa, a registered public benefit organization, has been established as a legal entity, with its primary purpose being to channel funds to successful programmes and to monitor how these Tfunds are used.

  • Sport, Politics and Black Athletics in South Africa During the Apartheid Era Sociology Provides an Additional Dynamic Sub-Theme with Strong Contemporary Relevance
    Pieter Labuschagne Professor and Head of SPORT, POLITICS AND BLACK Department, Department ATHLETICS IN SOUTH AFRICA of Political Sciences, University of South Africa. DURING THE APARTHEID ERA: [email protected] A POLITICAL-SOCIOLOGICAL DOI: https://dx.doi.org/ PERSPECTIVE 10.18820/24150509/ JCH41.v2.5 Abstract ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) The article examines the relationship between sport and politics in Journal for South Africa from a political-sociological perspective, with a specific Contemporary History focus on the status of black athletics in apartheid South Africa. The 2016 41(2):82-104 narrower focus aims to outline how white civil society and the National © UV/UFS Party government utilised athletics as a mechanism to enforce the policy of separateness/apartheid in the South African society. In the process, white dominated political structures and centralised political processes were used to dominate and regulate black athletics in South Africa (1894-1976). The structures and dynamics of black athletics were, for more than a century, manipulated and dictated for political and related reasons. The manipulation took place in three broad identifiable periods, namely: 1884-1960 – the period of “informal” segregation, when the national body, provinces and clubs used race as a mechanism to enforce cleavages in society. The second period stretches from 1960- 1976, when the National Party adopted a more assertive direct role to enforce their sports policy. The last period, between 1976 and 1992, signified another direction change, when government stepped back and only set the broader framework for the regulation of athletics in South Africa. In each of the periods, the politics-sport power relationship will be explained in relation to the regulation of black athletics in the country.

  • Lee Bowyer Talks Leeds United, with Jon Howe
    Y PHONE RINGS at 10.42am. It’s Lee Bowyer. Of course. He immediately apologises for not answering when I rang at the pre-arranged time of 9.30am; when he dropped his two six- year-old kids off at school he realised he had to attend a Harvest Festival assembly. I gave a knowing laugh, having been caught short in the same situation on the school run a few times. And here I was, swapping stories with Lee Bowyer on the humdrum trials of being a parent to young kids. Two normal blokes with normal concerns. We were aligned in the everyday travails of life’s rich tapestry, and yet fifteen years ago Lee Bowyer was my favourite Leeds United player. In fact, he was my ‘last’ favourite Leeds United player. After Lee Bowyer left Leeds United in 2003, the Catchinghi emotional strain of putting all my faith in one player seemed futile. Plus, well, you’ve watched Leeds United over the last decade, haven’t you? The enduring and relentless echo of ‘L’Bowya, L’Bowya’ around Elland Road has left more of up with the a lasting impression than the same chant for the perhaps more exalted Tony Yeboah. Purely because it was in our songbook for longer. Not simply out of habit, but as a result of performance; for years, every game, without fail. He was that good. In 2015, can you imagine Running such a thing? Lee Bowyer has endured a lifetime of not being able to fully explain himself. I initially approached him to write his autobiography.
