First of all I would like to thank the research participants who shared their lives, experiences and emotions with me. I trust that I have provided an opportunity for your voices to be heard. Secondly I would like to thank my research assistants in Johannesburg and Cape Town, who helped with logistical arrangements, translation of words and culture, as well as encouragement and cheerful countenances. This journey has been inspired, encouraged and supported by the wonderful friends I met at the University of Cape Town, especially through my introduction to the world of women’s football in South Africa. You have a special place in my heart. If it were not for the support of my family I would still be in Canada. They allowed me to pursue my dreams and adventure around the world. Thank you for the freedom to freely soar with the knowledge that you would always be there for me when I needed you. The Department of Sport and Movement Studies at the University of Johannesburg has provided me the opportunity to embark on this study and engage with wonderful scholars, mentors and students. Thank you to Pam who has been with me throughout this journey and Prof Roux who has provided me the opportunities to teach and attend international conferences to gain new insights incorporated into this study and share the knowledge generated from this research. Prof Cora, you have been an inspirational mentor and role model. Your work ethic and heart for the research subject and participants is incomparable. You never cease to amaze me. I have learned more than I could have imagined, been pushed beyond my conceivable limits and grown to a deeper level of research, analysis and interpretation. I look forward to future collaborations and international projects that will provide new insights and understandings. To my international friends on the same journey of research and self-discovery, Tinuke, Bonolo, Mari, I know great things will transpire. Thank you to everyone who helped proof-read and edit my final draft. I would have been lost without you. Finally, to my love, you came into my life unexpectedly and I will never be the same. Thank you for your inspiration, support, warmth and love. The long hours of work sitting together in our first apartment will be cherished.

A time when full contact sport no longer holds centre stage. It is a passage of time when the art of sport is appreciated over the physicality of competition. Today, latent skills and blossoming talent has a place amongst our youth and the generations to come. It is now the subtle brilliance of deftness, the art of touch, mastery of stroke and pure strategic guile that has turned cricket into the sport of the future. Today cricket is the stage for mental agility and peak physical condition. It is purity of both mind and spirit that produces champions. The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future. We do what we do today in cricket, for what will happen TOMORROW.

  • Sport Awards 2015 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2015 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. Sport Awards 1 History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I fi rmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion. Anroux Marais Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western Cape Government 2 Sport Awards Volunteer Of The Year Mogamat Yassiem Khan – Western Province Fancy Pigeons Yassiem puts in long hours to ensure administrative compliance and that all shows are a success.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Legality of Racial Quotas As a Tool for Transformation in South African Professional Sport
    A critical analysis of the legality of racial quotas as a tool for transformation in South African professional sport. Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws at the Stellenbosch University Keenan Horne Supervisor: Prof André M Louw Date: March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserve i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY South Africa is a country steeped in sport, which is an important part of the culture of large parts of the population. The new political dispensation in South Africa that came into existence in 1994 recognized the inequalities that had negatively affected South Africans in sport and in other areas of their lives, over the span of many years. It prompted government to introduce affirmative action measures in sport as in other areas of the lives of South Africans. After 26 years these affirmative action measures that have been implemented in sport still remain a challenge for sports governing bodies, and are still controversial. This dissertation aims to delve deeper into these affirmative action measures and, specifically, to critically analyze the legality of racial quotas in professional sport in South Africa as a tool to accelerate transformation.

  • AG3403 NON-RACIAL SPORTS HISTORY PROJECT, TRANSVAAL, 1930S
    AG3403 NON-RACIAL SPORTS HISTORY PROJECT, TRANSVAAL, 1930s- Historical Papers Research Archive, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2017 INTRODUCTION An important part of our history that has seriously been neglected is non-racial sports. This was a crucial facet of the anti-apartheid struggle and, crucially, was probably the most effective arena of independent and community- based sports in black communities. Moreover, non-racial sports was intrinsically linked to communities and their schools, and depended heavily on voluntarism for its enduring success. This project aims to recover, record, preserve and popularize this rich and multi-faceted history. The NON RACIAL SPORTS HISTORY PROJECT was formed in June 2015. The primary mandate of the project is to record the histories of non-racial sport from the ground up –clubs and their administrators and players, provincial and then national ,paying special attention to the role played by women. However, we see the project as contributing to the revival of the ethos that characterised the non-racial movement. To this end, some of the main objectives of the project are: 1. Revive the concept of community sport (which represents the majority of our population ) compared to professional sport. 2. Actively to promote and support the formation of community based sporting bodies. 3. Safeguard and secure the future of amateur sport. 4. Where there is an interest, to assist in the revival of sporting codes that are currently dormant. 5. Where possible to assist those who were active in non-racial sport and who have fallen on hard times. 6. To acknowledge the role played by sportspeople for the struggle for non-racial sport 7.
