This tour of New Zealand resulted in arguably the fiercest protest action that the country has seen in this century.

    UNITED NATIONS UNITED NATIONS CENTRE AGAINST APARTHEID l t C4- 9Cr 7/88 April 1988 REGISTER OF SPORTS CONTACTS WITH SOUTH AFRICA 1 JANUARY 1987 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 AND CONSOLIDATED LIST OF SPORTSMEN AND SPORTSWOMEN WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SPORTS EVENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA 1 SEPTEMBER 1980 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 [Note: The names of persons in this list are arranged by nationality as reported in the press. The names of participants from schools and junior competitors are not included in the list. It should be noted, however, that the Governments of many countries in the list have opposed or discouraged sports exchanges with South Africa. Some of the sportspersons may be living outside their countries.] United Nations, New York 10017 INTRODUCTION The international campaign against apartheid sport continued to make progress during 1987. In response, South Africa has embarked on a massive exercise to lure well-known athletes from overseas to compete there by offering them substantial sums of money. Although many countries tightened their regulations in regard to these exchanges in 1987, South Africa continued its efforts to mitigate the effects of the boycott. It is estimated that South Africa spends approximately $US 100 million annually to promote international sports exchanges and subsidize sports organizations which endorse government policies. Commercial'houses which sponsor any event involving overseas participants are refunded 90 per cent of their gross outlay through tax rebates. Thus, South Africa devotes large sums of money to attract overseas players. With the exception of some top golfers and tennis players and a few others, the calibre of players participating in South Africa has been mediocre.

  • The Judicial Disciplinary Procedures of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union
    317 THE JUDICIAL DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES OF THE NEW ZEALAND RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION Maryanne Haggie * This paper examines the model established by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union Inc (NZRFU) to deal with acts of violence on the rugby field. Love it or hate it, rugby is a metaphor. It can be used to define and describe the good and the bad of New Zealand society... Maybe it's a truism to say that a country's national game is a clue to its national soul, but there can be few better clues. 1 I INTRODUCTION International success may be one reason why there is passion for rugby in New Zealand. It shows that a small nation can succeed against bigger, more powerful adversaries. The nature of the rugby game also reflects dominant New Zealand ideals such as egalitarianism and teamwork combined with individual skills and strength.2 Rugby engages the bodies of an estimated 150,000 New Zealanders3 and many more are coaching, managing, refereeing, washing jerseys or expressing their opinions on talkback radio. Most New Zealanders have a robust opinion about rugby, whether it be positive or negative. * This is an edited version of a paper submitted in fulfilment of the LLB(Hons) legal writing requirement. 1 Finlay McDonald The Game of Our Lives (Penguin Books Ltd, Auckland, 1996) 1. 2 See: W H Oliver and B R Williams (eds) The Oxford History of New Zealand (Oxford University Press, Wellington, 1981) 277­278. 3 Statistics New Zealand Facts About New Zealand (2 ed, Daphne Brasell & Associates, Wellington, 1995) 130.
