Durante el año pasado el Gobierno de Sudáfrica continu8 aplicando sus politicas de srtheid y su legislación represiva contra 106 opositores dei apartheid, en desafio de las resoluciones de la Asamblea General y del Consejo de Seguridad. Ha promi&aiio nuevas leyes de separación Y discr.iminación raciales, destacándose la Bantu Homelands Citizenshir, Act (No. 26 de 1970) y la Bantu Laws Amendment Act (No. 19 de 1970); ha seguido aplicando la legislación anterior reduciendo a la miseria a decenas de miles de familias Y ha acosado cruelmente a los opcsitores del apartheid. 2. El 22 de abril de 1970 se celebraron elecciones generales con la participación exclusiva de los votantes blancos l-f.

El Gobierno interpretó los resultados de la elección ccmo un mandato para proseguir su polftica de apartheid. El Primer Ministro Vorster declaró que su Gobierno no cesarfa de seguir con determinación su p@lftica furdamental de "desarrollo separado" y que ninguna presión de cualquier fuente o de cualquier natu- raleza que fuera lo forzarfa a abardonar esa ~olftica z/. 4. Las declaraciones hechas en julio en la Asamblea por miembros del nuevo Gobierno sudafricano irdicaron que la respuesta del Gobierno a los reveses sufridos en las elecciones generales era Una mayor intensificación del sartheid. Los ministros del gabinete anunciaron que no habria ningún aflojamiento de las politicas de apartheid o de su aplicación. El Sunday Times (Johannesburgo) del 26 de julio señaló: "Se están comportardo ccmo si nada hubiera sucedido para hacerlos cambiar su polftica, mcdificar la aplicación de la legión de leyes draconianas en vigor, o demostrar un poco de simpatía humana por el hcmbre de la calle o de ccmpasión por los no privileeiados.

  • Sports, Race, and Politics: the Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2017 Volume VIII, Spring 2017 ISSN 2153-1714 Sports, Race, and Politics: The Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport Matt Bersell Western Illinois University In the article “Hitting Apartheid for Six? The Politics of the South African Boycott,” Douglas Booth writes that during the second half of the twentieth century, the international community regarded the South African government as a “pariah” due to its racially restrictive apartheid laws that denied equal economic, political, and social rights to the nation’s nonwhite majority. According to Booth, “foreign governments, multinational corporations, churches, the media, campaign groups, and individuals” increasingly condemned apartheid and joined international actions against the South African government through organized boycotts, sanctions, and embargoes.1 One specific form of international solidarity was the movement against apartheid sport which resulted in South Africa’s suspension from the 1964 and 1968 Olympic Games and its eventual expulsion from the premier international athletic competition in 1970. As a result of its commitment to racial segregation in sport and the exclusion of blacks from international competition, South Africa was not allowed to participate at the Olympics until 1992.2 Through the historical examination of the relationship between sports, politics, and race, it is evident that the boycott of South African sports, specifically the ban levied by the International Olympic Committee, had significant political and social ramifications. Sports, Politics, and Race Despite countless attempts to separate the two fields, sports and politics have been linked since ancient times.3 Barrie Houlihan finds the “the interweaving of sport and politics” at the international, national, and regional/local levels.4 According to Roger I.

  • P. Nongogo‟S Report: the Olympic Movement and South Africa
    P. NONGOGO‟S REPORT: THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT AND SOUTH AFRICA The Effect of Sport Boycott and Social Change in South Africa: A Historical Perspective, 1955-2005 Abstract This study examines the effect of sport boycott in South Africa; a country with a long history of racial discrimination. The struggle for political freedoms and all-inclusive-and-non-racial sport was intertwined. The former colonial power and major investor, Britain was strategic to-and-targeted for black people‟s diplomatic efforts after the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910. By 1940s, however, a comprehensive campaign against apartheid was undertaken by the Africa National Congress and Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM). The oppressed majority‟s hope for-and-focus on British support had shifted to the United Nations and newly-independent African states. Non-racial sport movement approached the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Federations. South Africa‟s official participation in the Olympic Games between 1908 and 1960; racially discriminated against blacks sportspersons and resistance to this was observed in the mid-1940s. Radical struggle was, however, started in the 1950s; illustrated by the emergence of AAM and sport boycott campaigns. These campaigns were continued until controversially abandoned in the early 1990s, paving way for South Africa‟s re-admission into the Olympic family in 1992. This literature study utilized the IOC Archives. It sought to analyse the effect of sport boycott in South Africa and social change thereof, in relation to the IOC‟s attitude, response and actions towards apartheid sport in contrast to that of the non-racial sport proponents.

  • Dennis Brutus: Activist for Non-Racialism and Freedom of the Human Spirit
    Dennis Brutus: Activist for Non-racialism and Freedom of the Human Spirit Johannes A. Smit For the struggle for human rights, for justice, is one struggle (Dennis Brutus, ‘Steve Biko: In Memoriam’ [1978] 2006). Abstract This article provides a detailed overview of Dennis Vincent Brutus’s anti- apartheid sports activism. Focusing primarily on the period of 1948 – 1970, it traces Brutus’s activism from his earliest critical consciousness of racism in the apartheid state’s sport codes, positions it vis-à-vis apartheid as part of the struggle for freedom in 1950s South Africa, and follows him on his international travels in his quest for non-racialism in sport and the isolation of the apartheid sporting fraternity. Brutus’s literary activism as an integral component of his sports activism is also addressed. This is done in the broader theoretical framework of the ideological hegemony of the racist apartheid state, and Brutus’s advocacy for non-racial sports, as a conflict between apartheid and human rights in ideological terms. The main contention of the article is that it was Brutus’s commitment to non-racialism and the ‘freedom of the human spirit’ that served as navigating mechanism through all the socio-political turmoil he has had to live and struggle as exile and activist. Keywords: Activism, Non-racialism, human rights, ideology, apartheid, IOC, SANROC Alternation 17,2 (2010) 8 - 71 ISSN 1023-1757 8 Dennis Brutus: Activist for Non-racialism and Freedom … Introduction Certainly one of the great political enigmas of the twentieth century is South Africa’s white minority’s decision to follow the road of apartheid while the rest of the enlightened and developing world took a firm decision for equality and human rights.

    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS* NOTES AND DOCUMENTS* February 1977 Univrsiiy / Library SPORTS BOYCOTT IN THE I CAMPAIGN AGAINST APARTHEIDr /-Note: This issue contains a condensed version of an article by Mr. Lapchick, published in the Journal of Sort and Social Issues, Vol., No.l, 1976. Mr. Lapchick is the Executive Director of ARENA, the Institute for Sport and Social Analysis at Virginia Wesleyan College, Norfolk, U.S.A. The views expressed are those of the author.] 77-03375 * All material in these notes and documents may be freely reprinted. Acknowledgement, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint, would be appreciated. From the moment that the United States team refused to dip the American flag to King Edward VII at the opening ceremonies of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, politics has been inextricably linked with the Olympic Movement in particular and international sport in general. The most flagrant example of the politics of international sport is the case of South Africa. The controversy surrounding the participation of South African teams in international sport also marked the shift of major concern in the politics of international sport from ideology to a new factor: race and racism. This shift was, to a large extent, influenced by the rise of nonWestern nationalism in general, and of African nationalism in particular. The adamant refusal of the South African Government to permit integrated teams to represent their country, that is, the extension of apartheid into sport, has led to intensive global pressures and protests. In spite of those protests, South Africa was permitted to continue its international competiti)n until 1970 when it was dismissed from almost all of the international sports federations and, most importantly, from the Olympic Movement itself.
