Handtekening: WJ de Wet Datum: 2 September 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved [2] Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming Hierdie studie is ’n historiografiese studie van populêre rugby geskiedskrywing, en dek die jare 1948 tot 1995. Die doel is om te dui op hoe dié sport in populêre skrywes uitgebeeld is. Die fokus gaan val op die twee vorme van populêre geskiedskrywing in hierdie tydperk, naamlik algemene rugbygeskiedenisboeke en biografiese werke. Die manier hoe hierdie verhandeling te werk gaan, is om tendense en tematologie in hierdie werke te identifiseer en die verandering daarvan oor die jare, na te volg. Hierdie werk lê op die breekvlak tussen ’n studie van die geskiedenis en die letterkunde. Deur die gewilde rugby skrywes inhoudelik en letterkundig in fyn detail te bestudeer, gaan lig op die veranderende tendense en tematologie gewerp word. Aanhalings word deurgans ingesluit en bespreek om die ontwikkeling van die populêre rugby geskiedskrywing oor die jare te verduidelik. Deur op hierdie kompleksiteite klem te lê, poog die studie om ’n bydrae te lewer tot die steeds ontwikkelende veld van Suid- Afrikaanse sportgeskiedenis.

  • Statement from Synod of Bishops
    Statement from the Synod of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa 'God has given us the ministry of reconciliation’ 2 Cor 5:18 We, the Bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, meeting at the Gonubie Hotel near East London in the Diocese of Grahamstown between 13 and 18 February 2016, wish to share our experience and reflections with the people of the Church. Archbishop Thabo Makgoba asked the Bishops on this occasion to arrive early for their synod in order to express their pastoral presence in the Diocese of Grahamstown and the dioceses of the Eastern Cape more widely. On Sunday 14 February the bishops were invited for refreshments at the guest house of the Premier of the Province of the Eastern Cape, Mr Phumulo Masualle, in King William's Town before embarking on a moving peace walk from the Good News Centre up the hill on the route taken by the marchers to Bisho stadium in 1992, when they were met by the then security forces and 28 were killed. Premier Masualle who was on the march of 1992 and came close to being killed, joined the bishops in the march, together with the mayor and other dignitaries and many Anglican Church groups in uniform. The Archbishop spoke briefly, apologising where the Anglican Church may have failed to act adequately in the past, and he and the Premier laid a wreath at the memorial. The bishops then proceeded into the stadium for a moral regeneration rally led by the MEC for Art, Culture, Sports and Recreation, Ms Penny Majodina, who is also a Methodist lay preacher (and it showed); here the Premier spoke powerfully about the need for moral renewal in the leadership of the nation.

  • Missionalia 38:1 (April 2010)
    Missionalia 41:1 (April 2013) 5-21 5 Migrants, mission and theological education Stephen Hayes1 Abstract The Christian Church has faced problems of mission and migrancy from its inception. This paper, however, is limited to southern Africa in the last fifty years, using examples from the Anglican and Orthodox Churches, based mainly on the personal experiences of the author. It begins with the story of a migratory cattle herder in northwestern Namibia who became an evangelist and was trying to plant a church among a nomadic people. There have been other patterns of migration in Southern Africa, including migratory labour, forced removals, refugees, and immigration, both legal and illegal. Theological Education by Extension (TEE), which developed about 40-50 years ago, had the potential to meet some of these needs, though emphasis was often put in the wrong places, so that it did not fulfil the promise of meeting the needs of migrant ministries as well as had been hoped. Materials and resources often had to be improvised, but in many ways much has been achieved. Introduction In this article I shall try to look at historical Christian responses to migration and mission, and to the challenges to theological education that these have posed. That is a pretty broad field, and so I shall limit the scope in time mostly to the last fifty years, and in space mostly to Southern Africa. One reason for those limitations is that that is largely the scope of my personal experience, and my personal experience has been primarily in the Anglican and Orthodox Churches, and, to a lesser extent, some African Independent Churches.

    NEWS lrom NAMIBIA (Formerly Damaraland Special published by Southern African Christian Alliance) Advent and Christmas. 1984 War, strife, drought, famine, starvation. Injustice, struggle, apathy, cruelty. Pain, death. And love, joy, peace, caring. ******** The world is beset by many problems, as always, magnified now by increasing populations, greater technical ability to destroy, and failure to communicate and cooperate globally to solve the problems. But also, as always, there is love. We see it in the poorest shacks of mining camps and drought-plagued farmlands, where one man's meager supply of food is shared with another; we see it in the dark of prison, changing despair to hope; we see it in the breaking of bread in the Eucharist, where all men are brothers; we see it in the face of Christ, who weeps at His children' s confusion and errant ways, yet rejoices when even one of them responds to His invitation to love in return. Why are we so blind? Why are our hearts and minds so often centered on that which only brings hate, pain and destruction, or at best only self-fulfilling pleasures, when His love is so evident and so eternally fulfilling? As we prepare for the remembrance of the coming of the Christ Child into human history, let us remember the all-embracing Love which made it possible, and offer visible tokens in return of that Love by sharing our material substance with those who cry out in need. And may the love of God fill our hearts and souls and lead us to an ever deeper understanding of Him and His desires for us.
