DEVFXOPMENT AND PROMOllON The following proposals were made to help develop and promote table in other areas.

1. A group of players could arrange a visit to areas where there are players interested in developing the game. Eg. Vredendal, Atlantis, Malmesbury, etc. These visits could perhaps be arranged for the off season. 2. A one day tournament could be arranged in areas where tournaments are not normally held.

3. A special team competition could be arranged which would be held at 3 central venues, one each in Boland, Western Province and Malmesbury. The teams would then travel for 2 weeks out of 3. Boland and Western Province are to investigate the possibility of setting this up.

4. Exhibitions

5. Going for weekends to Uitenhage, South Cape.

6. It was proposed that a calender be drawn up setting out the dates of all these event and including normal events on the table tennis calender.

7. It was proposed that the next tournament be held in George. The meeting suggested that a convenor for this tournament be found as soon as possible. The Federation executive was given a mandate to select a steering committee to start organising this tournament immediately. It was also emphasised that this tourna­ ment will involve a lot of organisation and that everyone would have to pull their weight.

8. Another proposal was that a SATTF team be chosen at the next South African Tournament. They could then be sent on an exhibition tour.

9. It was felt that the standard of umpiring had to be raised. This could be accomplished by setting up an internal exam. The emphasis should initially be on practical orientation. Interested persons could first officiate at club matches, then provincial matches before progressing to national level. This practical experience could be supplemented by theory and exams.

10. The Federation would introduce a new system of grading tournaments.

CONCLUSION Unless there is an all out effort by all to promote the game as envisaged, grassroots and those players that follow will encounter tremendous problems in terms of standards and policy.

Our tasks this year covers a vast area. There are the coaching schemes, newsletters and so on still to be tackled, as well as our national tournament (1993) scheduled to take place in Pacaltsdorp and George during the September holiday.

TENNIS

UNITY TALKS Between December 1990 and September 1991 three tennis controlling bod­ ies were engaged in discussions about unity. Two of these organisations, each with a definable and verifiable constituency. The S.A.Tennis Union (SATU) and the Tennis Association of S.A. (TASA) can claim to be truly national, while the third. Tennis Federation of S.A. (TFSA), more than two years later still cannot present any proof that it, too, is a national body. In fact, some areas which they claimed as part of their phantom constituency have now been revealed to be either without any infrastructure at all, or are totally ignorant of TFSA. No wonder Moss Mashishi of TFSA and the NSC’s watch­ dog at the discussions said at our last meeting that they “do not want to discuss (their) constituency”. (August 1992) Yet, up to October 1991, it incurred a massive loss of R140 000 since 1988.

It is important to note that TFSA is an offshoot of the S.A.National Tennis Union, an affiliate of SATU! It made its sudden and unheralded appearance on the sports scene together with the NSC. This was no mere coincidence. At our first discussion TFSA tried to smuggle Cheryl Roberts of Table Tennis renown into the talks between TASA and TFSA, Krish Mackerduj of Cricket, was presented as chairperson. Mashishi of the NSC was then co-opted as an Executive member, and thus became part of the TFSA team.

Between December 1990 and 21 September 1991 TASA, SATU and TFSA were involved in discussions about unity and by real consensus reached agreement on, inter alia, a draft constitution embodying the principle of participatory democracy; basic principles on which merging should take place (non-racialism, in a non-racial democracy etc.); merit-selection; the redressing of imbalances; the creation of a development trust fund; acceptance of the international sports moratorium, subject to reviewal from time to time, etc.

Delegates from each body attended the International Tennis Federation (ITF) conference in July 1991. To the utter dismay of the TASA delegates, a letter dated 16 April 1991, and signed by Johan Barnard, President of SATU, was to be tabled at that conference. In it SATU pleaded for its suspension to be lifted; this, after all three bodies issued a joint statement, prior to their departure, that membership of the ITF was NOT the reason for attending the conference, and declaring that they were in the process of forming a new body.

At the first meeting of the Interim committee after the ITF conference, TFSA and SATU, BY MAJORITY CONSENSUS, agreed to form a new body - - despite the fact that issues vital to the formation of a new body had still to be finalised, inter alia, certain vital articles in the draft constitution; the number of provinces and the delimitation of the country into provinces; the logistics for merging; and the registration and operation of the trust fund.

“Money is available, conditional upon TSA being formed”. These words o f Chris Ngcoho, identified hy the Press 3 months earlier as the President-elect o f the new body, sum up the motivation for unification. Months later it was discovered that at that moment - TFSA - had run up a loss o f R140 000 during nearly 3 years with nothing to show; and its partner, SATU, was in the process o f posting a record deficit ofR2,4m. An 'Mashishi of the NSC, (someone who has never played tennis before, according to a tennis magazine) added: “ There are deadlines to be met ” to explain the urgency o f “unification

From the discussion at that meeting, the following information emerged: TFSA and SATU had held various secret meetings; they had concluded agreements with the Association of Tennis Professional Tennis players (ATP) to stage two tournaments; they had decided to lift the moratorium unilaterally; that despite all the outstanding issues, they would pursue the formation of TSA with immediate effect. Later we discovered that SATU had to pay a lobola (dowry) of R500 000 to TFSA. A third of this sell-out price was afterwards used to upgrade facilities at KwaThema.

Anthony Knight, an illustrator, describes this episode in a tennis magazine, as follows: “When we (he and international press) arrived at KwaThema for the opening, there was no net, no lines, just weeds. The complex was surrounded by poverty. Then under the grandstand there was champagne flowing for the media. TSA hurled 3 boxes o f tennis balls into the air, and it was chaos. There were 300 kids in the grandstand, and since they didn 't have rackets, they played football with the balls”.

Sponsorships amounting to R8m became available from Standard Bank, Altech and the Regime in order to host 2 tournaments for the international tennis mercenaries in 1991. In 1992, however, only one such tourna­ ment could be held. Because of a salary-bill of R24 000 per month, the huge cost of accommodating the massive bureaucracy etc. TSA had to “sell the S.A. Open to Asia” for R3m, i.e. the rights to stage such a tournament under the auspices of the ATP were sold to a consortium of Asian businessmen in Hong Kong.

Other interesting disclosures are: Ngcobo and Mashishi ‘earn’ R134 000 and R80 000 annually for part-time ‘jobs’; SATU in 1991 mismanaged a R2,4m sponsorship from Panasonic for DEVELOPMENT and a tournament; and, theSA. Women’s Open tournament had to be cancelled in 1992 because they could find no sponsor.

THE SITUATION AS OF NOW SATU and TFSA are still functioning as separate entities in the ‘unified’ TSA. This effectively means that whereas there were 2 bodies before 1988, and 3 since then, there are now 4!

TFSA still has no national constituency. People who have absconded from TASA preferred joining the SATU bodies directly despite a TSA injunction that TASA members can join TSA only via TFSA.

5>1C05 lOTHBGM REPORT-58 In the Western Provinces clubs followed Mrs L Clarke into a (‘no-name brand tennis body’) - the Ad-hoc Tennis League Committee. This piqued the WP Tennis Federation because they needed those who defected from our ranks to give some ‘body’ to their constituency. The latest information is that all differences were patched up and there is a new body called Tennis Western Province comprising the SATU WP affiliate, Tennis Federation WP. and those who formed the no-name brand tennis body. Interesting, but by no means surprising, is that Mr Colin Clarke who absconded from TASA without a single explanation 13 months ago, has now joined forces with what he disparagingly called the establishment.

In Durban Southern Natal suspended their membership of TASA and are, to all intents and purposes, part of the SATU Natal. However, Natal North, now nearly 2 years old, serves an area stretching from Stanger and the Midlands down to Umzinto and Bizana in the south.

COACHING PROGRAMME:-

The TASA National coaching programme has since 1987 been confined to the preparation of tennis coaches at 3 levels, namely Beginners, Intermediate and Advance levels. The coaches courses, since its inception, has been sponsored by Dunlop, but sadly Dunlop has withdrawn their sponsorship for 1993. The courses have been conducted by our coaches, Mr D A Samaai, Mr B Isaacs and Mr C Bergman who has defected to the Tennis Federation of SA. Under our coaches coaching programme, over 30 of our members have qualified as coaches. Many of these coaches in conjunction with their affiliates have their own provincial junior coaching programmes. Sadly some of these TASA qualified coaches have defected to TFSA/TSA and some have just disappeared. As for 1993, our Director of Junior Development, Mr D Samaai is in the process of preparing a new development programme to spread our wings in our existing and new areas.

The 1991 Dunlop Coaches Course was hosted by Southern Natal Tennis Union at the Jeevan Kara Tennis Centre in Durban from May 30 to June 2. The 1992 Course was hosted by South Western Tvl Tennis Union in Lenasia from May 28 to 31.

SPONSORSHIP:-

The national sponsorship being received by TASA has been limited to two companies, namely Dunlop and National Beverage Services (Coca-Cola). Sadly, Dunlop has stopped their sponsorship of our Coaches Course for 1993. Our relationship with Coca-Cola has been a very long relationship and has been a very fruitful one. Since the formation of TASA in 1979, Coca-Cola has been sponsoring our junior programme. In 1991 they sponsored our juniors for an amount of R50 000 and in 1992, it was increased to R60 000.

ANNUAL NATIONAL TOURNAMENTS:- (1) National Open (2) Senior Inter-Provincial (3) Junior Coke Masters (4) Junior Inter-Provincial

ANNUAL PROVINCIAL TOURNAMENTS:- (1) Transvaal Open (2) Eastern Province Open (3) Western Cape Open

VOLLEYBALL

AFFILIATES The following units are affiliated to AVASA: 1. Uitavu (Uitenhage) 2. Bavu (Border) 3. Boland 4. Western District (Paarl,Kraaifontein,Stellenbosch) 5. Zavu (Zululand) 6. Tava (Transvaal) 7. Nwcava (North Western Cape) [Affiliated at National Tournament, September 1992] SASSSA is an associate member of AVASA and we are enjoying a fraternal relationship with SAPSSA. UNITY PROCESS The year 1991 started with unity talks between SAVU (establishment) and ourselves, resulting in an agree­ ment on 9 March 1991 that, (i) these two bodies were the only recognised controlling bodies of in South Africa and, (ii) that the information of a third body would be seen as contrary to the search for unity.

SAVCON (NOSC) was established on 16 March 1991 with no national character whatsoever.

The visit of the FIVE delegates of International volleyball federation to South Africa in July 1991 resulted in the forced acceptance of SAVCON was a controlling body of volleyball, thereby creating an unholy alliance between SAVU and SAVCON against AVASA. Through bad faith, undemocratic and manipulative tactics a new, single interim umbrella body (IVCOSA) was forced upon AVASA. Opportunistic SAVCON and interna­ tional-sport-hungry SAVU were more than eager to support IVCOSA.

After regularly reviewing the “unity process” against the background of developments in other codes and, due to actions of the AVASA delegation, which led to a motion of no confidence in the latter, AVASA suspended its involvement in further talks (15-16 February 1992)

In the process AVASA has lost affiliates such as Natal, Western Province, Eastern Province and Norther Transvaal. Splits have occurred in Border and Transvaal, while Midlands has become defunct. Midlands has however indicated that they would rejoin AVASA in 1993. Positive developments in the formation of a new Western Province affiliate have been reported. A new unit. North Western Cape, has affiliated to AVASA in 1992. TOURNAMENTS AVASA has successfully staged its major tournaments except for the Inter-club of 1991: 1991 National Inter-club ; cancelled due to clubs having financial problems to travel to Zululand. 1991 National Provincial ; very successfully hosted by Boland. 1992 National Inter-club ; Hosted by Western Districts. 19 teams participated. Very successful. 1992 National Provincial : a major success. Hosted by Uitenhage. COACHING 1. Coaching clinics were held at SASSSA tournaments and National Inter-clubs. 2. Coaching was also done in rural areas, such as Steytlerville near Uitenhage. As a result of coaching efforts by Uitenhage 6 clubs were established in Steytlerville and 4 clubs in Despatch. The Graaff-Reinet and Middelburg areas are very high on the priority list for 1993. 3. A National coaching forum has been established to coordinate coaching nationally. This forum has already produced the second AVASA coaching bulletin which was distributed to all AVASA units. Coaching clinics are envisaged where coaches will write examinations and be graded. 4. Border and Uitenhage were requested to investigate the viability of in their areas. 5. Junior volleyball is a top priority for 1993. AVASA CALENDER FOR 1993 February General Meeting Host; Boland April AGM Transvaal July National Inter-club W.P September National Provincial Zululand THE EFFECTS OF UNITY TALKS AND UNIFICATION Due to the above mentioned process we did suffer a few losses. Our Eastern Province unit which was based in Port Elizabeth defected to the Establishment body, at least two years ago. Our Uitenhage unit (Uitavu) also lost a few clubs to their racist counterpart. Our Border unit (Bavu) literally split in half but they still manage to function and some of their younger members play a very crucial role in the volleyball code of Border Sen. Schools. At our last General Meeting held in Uitenhage during September 1992 the National Exco members who are resident within the Western Cape were given the instruction to explore the possibility of starting a new Western Province body since the AVASA unit in that area also defected en masse to the racist body. They (Exco members) have had one meeting thus far where the possibility of forming at least 6 (six) clubs was estab­ lished.

Our General Secretary has also been informed by our Northern Transvaal unit that they plan to disaffiliate from AVASA. He has however requested them to submit, in writing, their plans to disaffiliate. A positive spin-off of the “unification” process is the notification which we have received from Midlands (Natal). They plan to re-affiliate for the coming season after they had become disillusioned with the dishonest way in which “unit/’ has been achieved! COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT We do have two national coaches on our Exco who usually co-ordinate coaching on a national level. They are also responsible for running coaching clinics at our annual National Interclub as well as at our annual Inter- Provincial Tournaments. We also take responsibility for the coaching clinics at the annual Sasssa tourna­ ments.

It is primarily due to our involvement with Sasssa as well as individual contact by some of our Exco members that Nwcava was formed and could affiliate at our last National Tournament (Sept 92). Due to our weak financial position and the unavailability of sponsorships, we have to combine our coaching programmes with our national tournaments. The unfortunate consequence is that time normally does not allow us to do justice to our coaching plans. We have however learnt to make the best of our limitations.

Some of the individual units have taken it upon themselves to conduct coaching clinics on a regional basis. Uitavu has “adopted” at least seven clubs in the greater Steytlerville/Middelburg area and the idea is to incorporate them, at a later stage, into Uitavu or to launch a Karoo unit. Jisod, a club affiliated to Western Districts, has been instrumental in forming a new club in Belville and they have also been conducting coaching clinics in Bonteheuwel where a club has been formed.

Our Transvaal unit has contacts in Soweto and does have individual players from that area but they have not been able to start clubs there.

Our Boland unit reported at our last General Meeting that they have actually compelled their clubs to incorporate junior teams. They now also have a junior league going although on a much smaller scale. TOURNAMENTS AND SPONSORSHIP AVASA organises two annual tournaments, namely,National Interclub and Interprovincial.

Our Interclub of 1992 was hosted by Western District and it took place during the first week of August, at the Bellville College of Education in Kuils River. Teams from as far as Johannesburg took part in this tournament.

Our 1992 Interprovincial was hosted by Uitavu and took place during the September school holidays. All our affiliates took part in it except Northern Transvaal.

We plan to have our Interclub for 1993 again in the Western Cape and our Interprovincial will be hosted by Zavu in Richards Bay.

For both the 1992 tournaments we had to do without any outside funding or sponsorship. For the Interclub we have applied to at least 35 institutions/businesses and to at least 15 medical doctors who are practising within our community, for financial support, but to no avail. We received only a donation of R50.00 from the branch of a local political organisation. NEWSLETTERS We have produced a single page newsletter which was distributed at the Sasssa Tournament which took place during the June holidays. In that newsletter we tried to rectify our position with regard to the so called unified which was reported incorrectly in the New Nation. GENERAL At our General Meeting of February 1992 which was held in East London, our previous Chairperson and General Secretary were replaced due to the pro-unity stance that they took. They were also taking part in the unification process without proper mandates.

We in AVASA would once again like to reaffirm that we support SAGOS and we are committed to the principles and policies of our mother body. As long as we have an unjust and undemocratic government which will necessarily perpetuate an abnormal society, there to support it.

Forward to a just and democratic society! NETBALL

INTRODUCTION The Netball Association of South Africa, NASA, is the only non-racial netball association in South Africa. It was fonned in 1988 by the merger of the South African Netball Board (SANB), in existence since 1954 and the South African Netball Union (SANU) founded by SACOS in 1979. Thus the largest non-racial netball playing organisation in South African was bom.

NASA represents the majority of oppressed and under-privileged netball players who suffer under the present system of discrimination on the grounds of colour, lack of sponsorship and proper playing facilities.

MEMBERSHIP NASA’s membership at present consists of the following: (i) Twelve provincial affiliates throughout South Africa to which are affiliated netball associations and their member clubs; (ii) Tlie netball players of SASSSA and SAPSSA, the schools’ organisations.

The above members are regular and active participants of the sport played under the rulers of the International Netball Federation (INF).

OTHER EXISTING NETBALL ORGANISATIONS 1. ASANU: fonnerly SAWNA, consisting of the “white” netball players; 2. SANA: consisting of the “black” netball players; 3. SANC: fonned in July 1992 by a small group of breakaways from the existing “black” netball groups and aligned to the ANC. This organisation was formed with the express purpose of supporting the return to international netball and thereby reaping political advantages.

UNITY TALKS NASA is engaged in unity talks on a principled basis as opposed to other netball organisations who are engaged in such talks for the purpose of immediate readmission into international competition. This they wish to do irrespective of the interests of netball players who have, over the years, been the victims of the discriminatory regime.

OUR BASIS FOR UNITY 1. It should be based on certain prescribed principles; 2. The moratorium should stay in place; 3. Apartheid should be totally eradicated; 4. The unity process must be accompanied by a development programme; 5 There should be no time-table for unity, i.e. there should be no set date by which unity should come about; 6. Unity will inevitably lead to participation in international competition but this should be a separate matter.

NASA insists that in the event of our reaching agreement to have a working relationship, the following would be of crucial importance to us during the interim period:

1. Each national organisation should retain its ideological and organisation independence;

2. Each of the organisations would have the right to withdraw from the working relationship should circumstances at any time indicate a lack of sincerity by the others seeking to bring about fundamental change and unity without its full agreement.

3. The problems besetting the netball situation must be addressed at grassroots levels. Whatever changes are to be brought about must be introduced at that level if real change is to be achieved. 4. TTie moratorium on netball tours to or from South Africa must be observed and there should be no unilateral renunciation thereof.

5. It is essential that good faith between the organisations should not only be displayed in words but must also be carried out in practice. On this basis there must be agreement that defectors from the affiliates of the other organisations should not be accepted by any participant.

6. There should be no attempt to exploit the working relationship in a manner where pressure is brought to bear on us to forge a contract between the organisations. Agreement must spring from a basis of good faith and be guided by a genuine attempt on the pari of the organisations in working towards reaching mutually accepted goals.

7. We cherish the concepts of democracy and accountability, wherever decisions are made. We would want to keep our members fully infonned, would want to consult with, and be guided, by them.

8. We do not see a complete solution to the sports problem until there are acceptable solutions to the political problems of South Africa. Merely repealing the Separate Amenities and Group Areas Acts will not solve the problem of facilities and amenities if homelessness, poverty, racism, lack of amenities and discrimination remain.

9. We insist that coupled with the development of netball in the oppressed areas, the present facilities must be upgraded. These facilities should, in any case, have been provided long ago in areas where people live.

10. The use of “open” or facilities in “white” areas should be considered only if there are no suitable facilities in the areas where the oppressed live and only while such facilities are being developed there. Tlie advantaged section of the population benefit financially when facilities in their areas are used because of the high cost of travelling from oppressed areas.

11. We will continue the fight for equal facilities in the areas where we live.

THE PRESENT SITUATION Because ASANU could not get the majority support in order to induce unity and consequent international recognition, they negotiated with the new South African Netball Congress started by the NSC. ASANU undemocratically invited them to join the talks. At present the talks have broken down because of lack of financial support and unacceptable demands made by ASANU. However, we, the so-called black organisations, are standing together and will not allow ourselves to be bulldozed into unity before our demands are met irrespective of the threats from NOCSA, the Sports and Recreation Association and sponsoring companies, in particular, the Dairy Milk Board. Tbe Dairy Milk Board indicated to us that if we wish to share in this sponsorship, we should join ASANU. We have sent a dossier on this matter to the INF via our African representatives but have recently leanit that copies of our correspondence have been secretly sent to ASANU. The matter is presently being investigated.

CONCLUSION NASA rejects any umbrella organisation set up for netball players at this stage as it will constitute the acceptance of the apartheid system. We maintain that after unity there should be no rush to get into international netball. Our house should first be put in order and all discrimination and inequalities should be eradicated. PAARL

INTRODUCTION The activities of the organization were merely confined to that of holding meetings and co-ordinating the flow of information to SACOS codes.

However, I have to report that even this activity ceased to function during 1993. Our meetings were very poorly attended during 1992 season. Despite this the organization continued to exist and the executive worked keenly to promote SACOS.

MEMBERSHIP Most of the SACOS codes in Paarl are affiliated to us but unfortunately, they do not pay their annual subscription regularly.

The following clubs and unions still exist under the banner of SACOS Paarl:

PAARL TENNIS CLUB PAARL HOCKEY UNION ATLANTIC SWIMMING CLUB ST.IVES RUGBY CLUB PAARL TABLE TENNIS CLUB PAARL ACHILLES ATHLETIC CLUB PAARL PHYSICAL CULTURE CLUB SOUTH WESTERN DISTRICT VOLLEYBALL UNION SCHOOLS

THE STRUGGLE It has been reported that most of our codes are fighting to exist. The reasons are, inter alia:

1. Lack of funds and sponsorship; 2. Lack of proper playing fields (The local authorities seem only to cater for mainstream sport and those who collaborate with them);

THE CURRENT SPORTS SCENARIO Coupled to the above reasons we also have to contend with:

the tremendous exposure that mainstream sport enjoys. This exposure eclipses our ideals for dignity and freedom;

the participation of South Africa in international sport is confusing many youngsters. It has become very difficult to explain to youngsters why Steve Tshwete, a black man, propagates and promotes Springbok sport. It has also become difficult to explain the espousing of the double standards rule whilst the ANC and NOSC enjoy the luxury of Newlands and other big venues;

juniors being influenced by the thrill and excitement of international sport and their urge to participate.

THE GO-IT-ALONE OPTION AND REMAIN IN SACOS The local swimming club, Atlantic, has declared to “go it alone”, meaning that they would not seek any “unity” but remain in SACOS. The local rugby club, St. Ives, established during 1992 season has decided to affiliate to the Bellville Rugby Union. The Physical Culture Club has also opted to remain in SACOS and despite their difficulties they will be hosting the Annual Competition on 17 April 1993 in the Strauss Hall, Paarl.

Tennis is still doing well under the guidance of the Samaai Brothers despite the move to break their monopoly in tennis coaching through the establishment of a rival tennis club.

The local hockey union is fighting an up-hill battle for playing fields with the local municipality. They have lost membership of two clubs because of the lack of facilities. The volleyball unit is the strongest organized sport in Paarl. Although playing their competitions under AVASA they have shown very little interest in Paarl SACOS. This matter was raised with the AVASA delegates at the last SACOS meeting in Graaff-Reinet.

SCHOOL SPORT School sport in this region is very well organized. The structure is still withstanding the pressure of the onslaught of the establishment sport. There was a move in 1992 to lure Paarl Schools away from Boland Senior Schools Sports Union. This move has now been set aside after the NOSC organizers failed.

However, Boland schools’ membership has been maintained because of:

1 .Continued SASSSA tournaments; 2. The history of the organization; 3. The fact that SASSSA has decided not to act against school children who violate the Double Standard Resolution; 4. The inability of Boland Schools to act against teachers who violate the rules of the organization; 5. The fact that Boland Schools has decided to take part in the development programmes of the establishment sport under stringent conditions; and 6. The demand of SASSSA for one Education Department and also a free democratic South Africa.

CONCLUSION We thank the officials and members in SACOS for their relentless effort to bring about a principled non-racial sports unity in the country.

The history of SACOS cannot be erased from the annuals of South African history.

TRANSVAAL

ACTIVITIES AND STATE OF SPORT The position of different codes of sport:- A. EXISTING/ACTIVE (SACOS): 1. Swimming. 2. Primary Schools. 3. High Schools. 4. Tennis. 5. Volleyball. Reggie Feldman - 6. Women’s Hockey (South Western Transvaal-voted against unity, expected to join other units as members of SACOS)

B. DORMANT/DEFUNCT:- 1. Chess. 2. Netball. 3. Mens Hockey. 4. Athletics.

C. UNITED WITH ESTABLISHMENT STORT:- 1. Baseball. 2. Darts. 3. Soccer: Federation e.g. Bosmont, Lenasia.SANFA. 4. Rugby. 5. Softball. 6. Table Tennis. 7. Squash

REMARKS: a) Women’s Hockey: South Western Transvaal (one of Transvaal’s units) voted against unity at the recent SAWHB meetino. It is expected that they will join other units in SACOS.

J. b) Although soccer is “united” ex-Federation units such as Bosmont and Lenasia are operating independ­ ently except for a few clubs playing in a so-called super league. SANFA is affiliated to SAFA but units and players are disgruntled and there is talk of withdrawing from SAFA. Unfortunately there is a lack of will and infra-structure. SANFA’s professional wing, the NPSL, while nominally affiliated to the NSL is operating autonomously with its own fixtures, organisation, offices, etc. Naturally they are not receiving any sponsor­ ship.

c) Rugby: Many ex-SACOS rugby players are no longer playing rugby. As in other codes, clubs from the Transvaal Independent Rugby Football Union were found to “be too weak” and the ten or twelve clubs have now become two “coloured” clubs viz TIRFU and Eldoronians. The latter received R50 000 lately from the Transvaal Rugby Union to upgrade their ground in a coloured group area. Another club. Pumas, disap­ peared when they merged with Randburg, a white club.

d) Most united sport is now being played in white areas where there are facilities. We do not hear any more about “bringing sport to the townships."

e) School Sport: Transvaal High Schools and Primary Schools have retained their member schools. Both are still members of SACOS-affiliated SAPSSA and SASSSA. There is, however, a most disturbing lack of commitment and enthusiasm in many schools. They seem merely to be going through the motions. The Primary schools, apparently, have SAPSSA’s permission to accept coaching from united bodies such as cricket. This is causing problems as high schools are not accepting such “assistance”. Schools are not supporting SAGOS sport by, for instance, sending pupils for coaching or forming clubs and then affiliating to the SAGOS codes. This lack of support is crucial and in the case of Table Tennis it was a decisive factor in the Transvaal Federation, weak as it was numerically, succumbing and joining the unity process. The Chairman of the Federation (no.2 national singles player) addressed 26 schools in a Transvaal High Schools Annual meeting and offered coaching and assistance to form clubs. Not one school responded positively.

Swimming: Two clubs. Dolphins and Atlantis together with the Greater Soweto Swimming Association merged with the TASU to form one provincial body. A coloured club has now been started in Randfontein. Only the odd one or two galas have been held in the coloured areas. STASA(SACOS) on the other hand, organised 18 galas for their 3 clubs. One STASA club has become defunct.

MEETINGS: SAGOS Transvaal has not had a full General Meeting for more than a year. Executive Committee meetings are held regularly every fortnight. At these meetings members of the Executive have represented their respective codes: Stan Gumede and Yunaid Waja, Tennis; Mike Davy, Swimming; Reg Feldman, High Schools; Carlton Weber and Alwyn Musson, Volleyball. Primary Schools and Hockey attended few meet­ ings.

THE SPORTS FORUM: In August 1992 the first meeting of the proposed Sports Forum was held. The Forum was to be a structure designed, firstly, to formalise informal meetings and discussions which had been held between SACOS Transvaal and some political bodies. It was felt that the PAC and Azapo had official policies which supported sports sanctions but their members were playing establishment sport. It was intended that the Forum should lead to meaningful co-operation between like-minded sportspersons and that members of political parties would become members of SACOS affiliated bodies. SACOS had four members present, PAC ten members and Azapo two members. All present agreed that the Forum should be based on practical ways of playing sport and creating structures which would join SACOS.

The first task that the Forum set itself was the holding of a national sports conference. A Working Committee was elected at this meeting to plan the Conference. Azapo pledged R500 towards expenses. It should be mentioned that the PAC, Azapo and SACOS had already held a joint protest action with the ATP tennis and Paul Simon’s visit.

THE SPORTS CONFERENCE: The first meeting of the Working Committee was held on the 2nd. September 1992. After several meetings the following was agreed: i) The Conference would be held over two days, ii) A draft programme was drawn up. iii) A tentative list of

SACOS lOTHBGMREPORT-66 participants was drawn up to include international participation, iv) A budget was drawn up. Total estimated cost:R125 478.00

A three page Report is available setting out the planning for the Conference. SACOS Transvaal suggests that the whole concept of the Conference be discussed by SACOS and a decision taken with regard to the feasibility aspect.

SPORTS DAY: A Sports day was held in Soweto on the 10th October 1991. Codes: table Tennis; Tennis; Volleyball; Netball; Chess and Softball. Attendance was quite good with a bus load from the Western Transvaal. Due to financial constraints no further sports activities were organised.

VISITS: Yunaid Waja and Mike Davy attended a Sports Conference in Pietersburg. There was much support for SACOS and its policies.

Two visits were also paid to Potchefstroom in the Western Transvaal.

On the last visit Reg Feldman held a Sports Seminar during which the organisation and administration of sport was discussed including the creation of structures from clubs upwards.

Because of the distance involved a local SACOS member was requested to act as liaison and SACOS contact in addition to assisting sports bodies in Ikageng, Potchefstroom. Not much progress was made subsequently.

A delegation from Softball (Cape Town) was accompanied to Pietersburg to discuss participation by the Great North Softball Association in the 1992 Softball Tournament in Cape Town.

SACOS FUNDRAISER: The Transvaal members of the SACOS Executive acted as a co-ordinating committee for the fund raising raffle. The raffle received very little or no support from SACOS affiliates (Associations, Unions, clubs and individual members) It was a dismal failure and reflects a disastrous state of affairs in SACOS if it is interpreted as a measure of our support in this country.

CONCLUSION: SACOS Transvaal feels strongly that SACOS should at this stage, decide whether we are going to continue with the following strategies:- a) continued discussion, letters,etc. on the unity fraud and pointing out to our opponents where they had gone wrong; b) approaching international sports federations with our pleas regarding the fraudulent unity process and the present state of South African sport. We have learnt that the international federations are no better that their South African affiliates. In fact they initiated and carried out all the unity plans. Instead we should communicate with affiliated countries and pressure groups outside sport e g. City of London Group. c) Attending meetings with “the otherside" to “put our case or explain or clarify our approach or attitude to unity in general and non-racialism in sport” and in life. We should, in a word, stop keeping lines of communication between us and racist, establishment sport open.

Let us coldly look at our present position, our strengths and weaknesses, our resources, etc. Give our affiliates and individual members the objective facts in a positive manner and carry on and build our organisation in the clear knowledge that we are facing many problems but we have the commitment to continue the struggle according to our principles and philosophy. It is imperative for us to send a clear signal to our supporters, members, affiliates AND our enemies as to what our future intentions are: ‘succumb or fight’. UITENHAGE

AFFILIATES: Dolphins Swimming Club, E.P. Tennis Union, E.P. Senior Schools S.U, Falcons Sports Club (Athletics, Hockey, Cricket, Rugby, Volleyball), Garden Town Boxing Club, Larssen Chess Club, Uitavu, UDRU- SACOS, Uitenhage Sec.

POLITICAL ORGANISATIONS The following organisations regularly attend our meetings; The New Unity Movement (NUM); Pan Africanist Congress (PAC); and Azanlan Peoples Organisation (AZAPO). These organisations contribute to debates on a regular basis. Their assistance and guidance is appreciated.

ACTIVITIES Hosted Special General Meeting of SACOS on 20/21 April 1991. Acted as a source of information for local SACOS units and clubs. Also served as a channel for press releases, newspaper clippings from sister organisations and from the SACOS Head office. Assisted with information Meeting addressed by Dennis Brutus on 21 August 1991.

Arranged local SACOS Festival Games on 18/19 October 1991. The programme comprised of a Fun Run, Softball, Soccer, M & L Hockey, Primary Schools Rugby, Tennis, Squash, Darts, Kerim, Klawerjas & Dominoes. Potjiekos, braais and fast foods were sold and all funds accrued were sent to Head Office.

The German Workers Union visited Volkswagen factory on 30/1/92. We submitted a memorandum to them.

27 February 1992 An “All-in Meeting” with P.E. comrades to discuss “Our Approach to unified Sport”. We were invited to send messages of support to PAC conference in Graaff-Reinet as well as local AZAPO Conferences. As far as possible we attended all conferences/meetings of political organisations.

Promoted the image of SACOS and assisted with accommodation when National tournaments/matches were played in Uitenhage. Last season the Rugby semi- and finals were played in Uitenhage. The annual AVASA tournament also took place in Uitenhage in September of 1992. SACOS enjoyed prominence at all these events.

Attended all SACOS meetings. SACOS-Uitenhage assisted Dolphins Swimming Club in its fight against the exorbitant increases in admis­ sion fees at the Swimming bath. In a pamphlet widely distributed in Uitenhage we stated; that the Director of Parks was racist; that SACOS believes in non-racialism, which is the complete rejection of the theory of “race”; that anything to the contrary cannot be justified scientifically, morally or ethically. We called on council to give immediate attention to the request by Dolphins and are happy to report that we were successful.

SACOS-Uitenhage Bulletin:

In June 1991 Basil Brown (SACOS-Exec) felt the need to issue a “viewpoint” on what was happening in NOCSA. From this was born the idea to issue regular information sheets to our players and supporters. This has been very successful, particularly in Uitenhage. The Bulletin is distributed to all clubs, schools and at all SACOS events (matches and meetings). The Bulletin is also distributed to all SACOS national affiliates. Regional Structures and Support Groups. The Bulletin is also distributed to nearly all the liberattory move­ ments in the country. In addition the Bulletin is also sent to New Zealand, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain and the U.S.A. To date we have issued 10 Bulletins. The first Bulletin for 1993 will be issued in March. Our thanks go to all those involved in producing the Bulletin, in particular, the contributors, proof-readers, those who do the photo-cyclostyling, and the SACOS youth who collate and distribute it. A special word of thanks to Mr. Kara from Transvaal, without whose assistance we would not have had a national perspective. Mr. Kara sends regular clippings to us from more than ten newspapers, which provide an invaluable source of information. FUTURE PLANS An Open Meeting where we will discuss: The Double Standards Resolution; The Educational Renewal Strategy and how it will impact on School Sport; A Table Tennis Union (we already have 4 Clubs) will be formed. Appoint persons from SACOS-Uitenhage to look into the feasibility of establishing Cricket and Soccer structures.

WESTERN CAPE REGION

ACTIVITIES We have really stepped up our involvement in building SACOS sport and its general activities since the abortive attempt by the previous executive under Colin Clarke to hi-jack codes into sham-unity. However, we were not unscathed by the disruptive attempts by people who wanted to destroy the non-racial sports movement and the non-racial ethic which permeates the social and political spheres of our struggle for true liberation.

Although we have lost affiliates such as Western Province Darts Board, Western Province Amateur Volleyball Union, gains were made when the Cricket Board of Eastern Province, Bellville and Districts Football Associa­ tion (soccer) affiliated.

Problems are currently experienced in codes like Chess, Men’s Hockey, Bodybuilding and Powerlifting where the situation ranges from inactivity to a total capitulation by either certain key members, clubs or the whole code.

In other codes like Netball the situation is unknown as these codes have absented themselves from the general council meetings. Others like Squash are still SACOS codes but they attend general council meetings seldomly.

The situation of school sport should be cleared up since n arrects senior codes adversely.

SACOS Western Cape hosted the following important meetings and activities:

(a) SACOS Western Cape Sportpersons of the Year Award Function 1992 presenting 12 different code nominees. (b) June 16 Commemoration with main speakers Dr N Alexander and Mr Y. Ebrahim. (c) The Hassan Howa Memorial Service in which various community organisations participated. (d) SACOS Western Cape also played a prominent role in securing sponsorship for the SACOS United Nations Trip. (e) A disappointing effort was made by most of our codes, especially Men’s Hockey, Women’s Hockey, Bodybuilding and Powerlifting, and Athletics in terms of the SACOS National Cash Competition.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES Apart from the above-mentioned meetings and activities, especially (a) to (c), which will feature again on our calendar, SACOS Western Cape is currently involved in: (a) Active assistance to rebuild soccer as a code. (b) The revival of the SACOS Forum. (c) The SACOS and SACOS Western Cape twentieth Anniversary Celebrations 26- 28 March 1993. (d) The SACOS tenth BGM - 27/28 March 1993. (e) The SACOS Western Cape Sports Festival - 2/3/4 April 1993. (f) The SACOS Library Project - which is progressing very slowly. Other areas in which SACOS Western Cape has to improve dramatically are the publication of regular bulletins and newsletters, and the stockpiling of SACOS Fancy Goods. SACOS Western Cape Region in conjunction with Rugby and Cricket have organised successful protests against the Australian and New Zealand rugby tours, and the Indian cricket tour. Unfortunately the racist opposition made sure that we could protest the West Indians and Pakistan cricket teams by not releasing flight schedules timeously and by playing during the week. THANKS AND APPRECIATION

The past two years have certainly not been the easiest period to negotiate.

I wish to express my sincere thanks for and appreciation of the valuable assistance given to me by:

(l)th e President and those members of the Executive who made themselves available whenever the need arose;

(ii) the Vice-President and those executive members in the other parts of the country who made their contribu­ tions towards keeping the SACOS flag flying;

(iii) those regional SACOS organisations and codes who regularly responded to our requests and who sustained their efforts through keeping SACOS provincial code organisations together by regular meetings. Here I owe a special word of thanks to the present members of SACOS Westeni Cape for their ready availability whenever their help was needed and for the sterling work they are doing locally.

(iv) Mr Yusuf Kara for his untiring efforts to keep not only the Executive members but also regional SACOS organisations and our overseas friends up to date with news clippings from the major newspapers in Transvaal and Natal. He certainly sacrifices many hours to carry out this self-imposed duty for a cause he has unselfishly supported over the years.

(v) Mr ‘Ossie’ Sydow without whose manifold expertise, concern for the survival of SACOS, willing sacrifice of untold hours, high standard of work and positive attitude SACOS would have found it extremely hard to survive administratively during this period.

H C C Hendricks ‘T # I? MfFMRI FV MA!5 S FUN I MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED BY S A COUNCIL ON SPORT TO UNITED NATIONS COM­ MISSION AGAINST APARTHEID IN SPORTS ON 28/30 OCTOBER 1992

INTRODUCTION The history of sport in South Africa is largely a reflection of the socio-political conditions that have prevailed here since the arrival of the first European settlers. It is a history of discrimination against, and denial of opportunities to, the oppressed and is a reflection of the political attitudes displayed by the S A goveninient and the ‘white’ electorate.

The unbanning of the organisations of the oppressed in February 1990, the subsequent release of prominent leaders and others, the repeal of some discriminatory laws coupled with the promise of democratic changes by the De Klerk regime, have collectively created the impression that this country has moved irreversibly towards fundamental and democratic change. This has led to the dramatic lessening of pressure on the racist regime by the international community. Yet, notwithstanding the international community’s endorsement of current devel­ opments in S A, political negotiations are encountering immense problems. Added to this, violence has reached unprecedented levels and is virtually a daily feature in the lives of the oppressed.

The abnonnality of South African society has not been eliminated but is more evident than ever before. It is against this background that we set out the position currently prevailing in sport and, in particular, the effects of the unity process so that an objective assessment may be made of the sports situation here.

UNITY PROCESS In the unity talks in which SACOS affiliates were engaged, establishment organisations resisted the following demands from SACOS, namely that:

* Apartheid should be eradicated and profound and irreversible changes implemented to enable a united, democratic and non-racial S A to be established with the universal franchise accorded to everyone. These demands accord with the ‘Declaration on Apartheid and its Destructive Consequences in Southern Africa’, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations at its 13th Special Session in December 1989 and re­ affirmed again in December 1990. This position was endorsed by the International Conference against Apart­ heid Sport in Stockholm in September 1990.

* The imbalances in facilities should be redressed so that oppressed sportspersons have access to adequate and proper facilities for the development of their sports skills.

* Development programmes are to be instituted to upgrade the skills of oppressed sportspersons as they are an essential pre-requisite for merit selection.

* The segregated schooling system which prevents the proper development of sport at primary and secon­ dary school level must be eliminated.

* International competition should only be undertaken once the aforementioned requirements have been met.

But, these requirements were completely ignored. Instead racist sport, assisted by members of the oppressed, created bogus structures without any infrastructure or active membership and formed so-called united bodies with the ‘white’ (establishment) organisations. TTie true representatives of non-racial sport were deliberately excluded because they refused to sanction this false unity. Moreover, individuals from the bogus bodies have been placed in high profile positions as officials with exorbitant salaries and numerous perks. This has encour­ aged malpractices and striking examples where this has occurred are in athletics, tennis and swimming, to name a few.

To compound the situation the National Olympic Committee of S A (NOCSA) has accepted a number of Olympic codes even though unity has not been attained with the recognised non-racial organi.sations. Examples are Athletics, Boxing, Gymnastics, Tennis, Table Tennis and Volleyball. It should be noted that the NOCSA officials are self-appointed without proper accountability even though the IOC prescribes that they should be elected by member organisations. The current position in S A sport is that the oppressed are in a worse position than prior to the Harare Conference of November 1990. Ultimately, the control of the so-called united bodies remains in the hands of the ‘white’ minority and such control is even more effective because of the respectability gained by the involvement of members of the oppressed. Regrettably, this situation is directly attributable to the involvement of the African National Congress in the unity process. Their endorsement of the sham unity and the lifting of the international sports moratorium was ill-conceived and politically motivated. The ANC has publicly proclaimed that its involvement in sport is an important factor in winning over ‘white’ support.

‘White’ sports administrators realising the potential this situation held for racist sport seized the opportunity to break out of the isolation that the international sports moratorium had imposed. They welcomed the intervention of the ANC and willingly signed grandiose “Declarations of Intent” in which they pledged to meet all the demands of non-racial sport, including the honouring of the sports moratorium. However, none of these undertakings have been honoured in their rush to re-enter the international arena and the Olympic Games.

The sham nature of this unity is effectively illustrated by the developments in the following codes of sport:

ATHLETICS: Only two national athletic organisations existed at the time of the Harare Conference on 3 & 4 November 1990, namely, S A Amateur Athletics Board (SAAAB), an affiliate of SACOS, and S A Amateur Athletics Union (SAAAU) affiliated to the S A National Olympic Committee (SANOC), which had been expelled from the IOC.

The S A Amateur Athletic Congress (SAAACON) was formed on 10 November 1990 as a result of a meeting shortly before the Harare Conference between SAAAU and the National Olympic Sports Congress (NOSC) which itself was only fonned in mid 1989. During unity talks it became evident that the SAAACON had been created as a foil to SAAAB.

The fonnation on 12 January 1992 of (ASA) was between SAAAU and SAAACON and deliberately excluded the SAAAB because of its insistence on the retention of the moratorium. Its retention was necessary to ensure that the development of disadvantaged athletes could took place so that there could be true merit selection before international competition.

The newly fonned ASA has been plagued by racial polarisation, in-fighting, behind the scenes intrigues and jockeying for positions. Clubs are still generally structured on racial lines with only a few top ‘black’ athletes in some erstwhile ‘white’ clubs. The SAAACON and SAAAU components still organise separate events. To date no development programmes have been set in motion even though inteniational competition has been in progress for over eight months.

HOCKEY: At the time of the Harare Conference there were four controlling bodies for hockey, namely, S A Men’s Hockey Association (SAMHA), S A Women’s Hockey Association (SAWHA) - establishment bodies - and the non-racial S A Hockey Board (SAHB) and S A Women’s Hockey Board (SAWHB). Subsequently, these organisations endorsed a Declaration of Intent to establish unity on the basis of certain agreed principles.

Tlie formation of the so-called united S A Hockey Association (SAHA), however, was a flagrant disregard of these agreed principles and also deliberately excluded the non-racial hockey organisations. The SAHA is a product of a ‘unity’ between the SAMHA, the SAWHA and the S A Hockey Congress (SAHCON) which is a bogus body formed after 21 February 1991. The involvement of the SAHCON contradicts a decision taken by NOeSA that any organisation formed after that date could not be part of unity negotiations. SAHA has now been recognised by NOCSA and obtained affiliation to the International Hockey Federation (FIH) to the exclusion of the SAHB and SAWHB.

SOFTBAI^L: The unity talks here have also been'plagued by dishonesty and behind the scene machinations between the racist S A Softball Association, affiliated to Confederation of S A Sport (COSAS) and the S A Softball Congress, affiliated to NOSC. The SACOS affiliate, also named S A Softball Association, has not become part of the new structure because of the disregard for principled unity by the other organisations. SWIMMING: Unity negotiations followed a similar pattern to that of athletics. Only two national bodies existed at the time of the Harare Conference, namely, Amateur Swimming Association of S A (ASASA) a member of SACOS, and S A Amateur Swimming Union (SAASU), affiliated to SANOC. In December 1990 the NOSC formed the S A Amateur Swimming Congress (SAASCON) consisting of one club (which had defected from ASASA) and was accepted into negotiations by SAASU. During the negotiations there was an insistence by SAASU and SAASCON that Sam Ramsamy of NOCSA should be the mediator. The S A Amateur Swimming Association (SAASA) was then fomied by SAASU and the SAASCON during the absence of the ASASA delegation.

True non-racialism has not been established. Swimming facilities in ‘black’ areas are virtually non-existent. The team at the recent Olympic Games selected by SAASA consisted entirely of ‘whites’, the black manager being merely tokenism.

TENNIS: At the time of the Harare Conference the two recognised national tennis bodies were S A Tennis Union (SATU), the establishment body, and the non-racial Tennis Association of S A (TASA), affiliated to SACOS. A third body. Tennis Fedenition of S A (TTSA) was in existence but only consisted of a few clubs in the province of Transvaal. In September 1991 SATU and TFSA fomied Tennis S A (TSA) without TASA in order to meet an ATP deadline to stage a doubles tournament.

Vital i.ssues essential forthe basis of a truly unified body such as Articles in the draft Constitution, delimitation, the redressing of imbalances resulting from Apartheid and the Development Tmst Fund, were not finalised. Be­ cause of the total disregard for the issues previously unanimously agreed to, TASA found it impossible to be part ofthis‘unity’.

VOLLEYBALL: At the time of the Harare Conference there were only two bodies - the establishment S A Volleyball Union (SAVU) and the Amateur Volleyball Association ofS A (AVASA), affiliated to SACOS. After an exploratory meeting on 9 March 1991 they issued the following press release: “No organisation created after 21 Febmary 1991 would be considered for participation in the unity talks. Any attempt to form an additional national body would be contrary to the search for unity and would be regarded as an attempt to divide Volleyball in South Africa”. On 30 June 1991 it was agreed further that organisations should be politically non-aligned.

With the visit of the International Federation of Volleyball (FIVB) Mission to S A on 13-15 July 1991 the S A Volleyball Congress (SAVCON), created by the NOSC, suddenly emerged and was allowed by the Mission to participate. Mr Sam Ramsamy of NOCSA also attended this meeting. An interim committee of individuals, and not delegates of organisations, was proposed by the FIVB Mission and would serve its interests in S A and be accountable to it. Tlie AVASA delegation could not agree to this since it had to report to its general council but SAVU and SAVCON immediately agreed to ‘unity’ and established the Interim Volleyball Committee of S A (IVCOSA). Due to the bad faith and manipulative practices employed by the others AVASA has found it impossible to be part of this ‘unity’.

THE STATE OF ‘UNITY’ IN OTHER CODES OF SrORF BOXING: The ‘unity process’ in this sport has been controlled largely by administrators who are members of the S A Police force. Senior members of this state department exercise strong control over, and in, the administration of boxing. Tlie ‘unity’ is tenuous and is marked by internal strife. Here again the establishment bodies have benefitted disproportionately.

CRICKET: The United Cricket Board of S A (UCBSA) was created during 1990 after the establishment S A Cricket Union (SACU) and the non-racial S A Cricket Board (SACB) had co-signed a Declaration of Intent and committed them.sclves to unification on the basis of certain conditions, particularly, the upholding of the interna­ tional moratorium. However, none of the conditions in the Declaration have been fulfilled. Furthermore, prior to unity being effected, SACU together with the SACB pleaded for the re-admission of S A to the ICC. This initiative was also supported by the ANC despite the non-fulfilment of any of the agreed tenns for unity. Members of the oppressed who have refused to be part of a sham unity continue to promote non-racial cricket under the banner of SA f’OS.

In less than a year the funds allocated for development have dried up because it was used for other purposes,
