  • The Scope of South Africa's Exodus
    The scope of south Africa’s exodus Thousands of predominantly white, young, skilled South Africans of all persuasions, regions and professions are leaving the country each year to settle mainly in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, the USA and Canada. Official statistics suggest that just over 8 200 people had emigrated from South Africa in 1998 and about 9 000 in 1999, but because of an under-reporting of between one half and two thirds the unofficial total would have been between 16 000 and 25 000. These latest emigrants joined the 550 000 emigrants who have left officially since 1945, in addition to the 500 000 to one million emigrants who may have left the country unofficially during this period. The real significance of this exodus can be found not so much in the sheer size of the exodus - even though it is large by any standard - but in the fact that these emigrants represent a huge loss of human capital: they are mostly professionals and their skills and ability to create wealth and jobs cannot be replaced overnight, if at all. In addition, emigration on this scale raises the questions of how many more people may join this new Trek, and whether this emigration will continue at current levels or whether a sudden mass exodus might become a possibility. 2.1 O f f ic ia l s t a t is t ic s vs the a c t u a l n u m b e r s : THE 2:1 AND 3:1 RATIOS As mentioned earlier, the number of people leaving South Africa each year is at least double and could be triple the official numbers provided by Statistics South Africa.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.

  • 7 Beyond the Nation? Colour and Class in South African Cricket
    7 Beyond the nation? Colour and class in South African cricket Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed …cricket does not reflect the age. It is the age... (James 1986: xi) The sToryline of souTh Africa cricket, like the broader narrative of the political defeat of apartheid, often gets told in beguilingly simple terms. Mandela met De Klerk. Graeme Pollock met Basil D’Oliveira.1 Apartheid had been stumped. Past and present merged. The covers were pulled off to reveal a level playing field. Another ‘small’ miracle. Critical voices of dissent were drowned out by the over-arching language of nation-building. Free from www.hsrcpress.ac.za download There was an iconic image following South Africa’s loss to England in the World Cup semi-final in 1992, before apartheid was officially dismantled: Steve Tshwete, the then head of the Sports Desk of the African National Congress (ANC), and Kepler Wessels the then captain, ‘in an emotional embrace after South Africa had bombed out of the semi-final against England on a ludicrously unjust rain rule’ (Alfred 2001: 158). For Luke Alfred, this moment illustrated that: …cricket in South Africa has allied itself to reform both without and within, and if the road to post-apartheid nirvana hasn’t always been easy, it is the road that cricket has chosen to take…The new team 176 Race to transform Book 16-2-10.indb 176 2/16/10 4:43:21 PM were part of the new post-apartheid nation, and rooting for that team, in some admittedly insignificant way, was to keep casting a vote for change, for a nation qualitatively different to that of the apartheid state.

  • Testing Circumstances
    Testing Circumstances “By this time New Zealand were almost certain of victory, Hastings and Yuile having taken their side from a precarious 39 for 3 to 113”: Jamaica Daily Gleaner Brian Yuile, New Zealand v West Indies, Second Test, Wellington, March 1969 The West Indies’ Antipodean tour of 1968-69 began in December with a victory in the First Test at Brisbane. Two months later the tourists left Australia in shock having been beaten three Tests to one. Unused to setbacks, the press unleashed much criticism against the captain, Garry Sobers. Clive Lloyd thought Sobers had spent too much time on golf courses instead of in the nets looking after his team, but also considered the manager ought to have arranged training schedules and team meetings. Charlie Griffith felt the series was lost not because the West Indies were outclassed but because they dropped vital chances1. Sobers agreed, reckoning 34 catches were spilled in the series, by the end of which he was desperately trying to hide butter-fingers in the field. Thus, the West Indies arrived in New Zealand for three Tests seeming to Tony Cozier to “have neither the heart nor the energy for the tight month-long tour.” Clive Lloyd remembered “everyone was completely fed up and just going through the motions.” They were spurred out of lethargy in the First Test by a bold declaration. On the final morning the New Zealand captain, Graham Dowling, set the West Indies 345 runs to win, giving both sides a chance of victory. Finding their enthusiasm, the West Indies raced to an exciting five-wicket victory.
