    INTRODUCTION u Rio de la Plata au stade Loujniki, de Guillermo DStábile à Cristiano Ronaldo, que ce soit dans des lieux ou au travers de ses acteurs, la Coupe du monde de football regorge de petites et grandes histoires. Devenue, avec les Jeux olympiques, la compétition la plus suivie sur la planète, la Coupe du monde de football a pourtant eu droit à une lente gestation et un accouchement difficile, avec un pays en filigrane de sa création : la France. C’est en effet en 1904, année de création de la Fédération Internationale de Football Association, que naît l’idée d’un « championnat international que seule la FIFA aura droit d’organiser ». Instigateur de cette idée : Jules Rimet, premier président. Dans son ombre, Robert Guérin, journa- liste qui, avec son compère néerlandais Carl Hirschmann, imagina cette FIFA. Le foot mondial vient de voir le jour, mais sa compétition phare est encore loin d’être lancée. La raison ? Les Jeux olympiques sont surpuissants et le football y remporte déjà un succès certain. La Première Guerre mondiale arrive et interdit évidemment toutes velléités d’organisation. Ainsi, il faut attendre 1924 pour que l’Europe prenne définitive- ment conscience de l’universalité naissante du ballon rond et que la Fédération internationale aux manettes du jeu fasse 7 Histoires insolites de la coupe du monde enfin vivre son « article 9 ». Aux Jeux olympiques de Paris, l’Uruguay émerveille, la Turquie, l’Égypte et les États-Unis suscitent la curiosité dans une compétition de football qui passionne. Jules Rimet tient à nouveau les rênes de son rêve, la FIFA va alors accélérer.

  • Keynote Address by President Jacob Zuma on National Women's Day
    Keynote address by President Jacob Zuma on National Women’s Day, Peter Mokaba Stadium, Limpopo 9 Aug 2011 The Premier of Limpopo Province, The Minister for Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities, All Ministers and deputy ministers present, Executive Mayor of Capricorn District, Representatives of Women’s formations, Veterans of the women’s movement, Traditional and religious leadership, Fellow South Africans, We have come together to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the women’s march to the Union Buildings in Tshwane to demand equality, dignity and their rightful place in South African society. It was in 1956, when more than 20 000 women from all walks of life marched to the seat of power to protest against the introduction of pass laws by the apartheid regime. This was a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for a non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa. Today we salute South African women for their relentless struggle for liberation, democracy and human dignity. This important day enables us to review how far we have come with regards to the emancipation and advancement of women in South African society. This year also marks the centenary of International Women’s Day which is observed on March 08. One hundred years ago, women campaigned across the world for the right to vote and to be voted into public office. They demanded equality and decent working conditions. Our own pioneer of women’s rights, Charlotte Maxeke, led women’s protests in the Free State, resisting government attempts to impose passes on women in 1913.

  • The Role of the Royal Bafokeng Administration in the Promotion of Municipal Service Delivery
    THE ROLE OF THE ROYAL BAFOKENG ADMINISTRATION IN THE PROMOTION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICE DELIVERY C. Thornhill School of Public Management and Administration University of Pretoria M.M. Selepe School of Public Management and Administration University of Pretoria ABSTRACT his article explains the role of the Royal Bafokeng Administration in the promotion of municipal service delivery. The article lists the governing, T administrative and management processes which are relevant to the promotion of municipal service delivery. It also examines the traditional system of the Royal Bafokeng, municipal services and infrastructure development. The article outlines a comprehensive explanation of how the Royal Bafokeng Administration has shifted from being a traditional institution embracing the Bafokeng customs, traditions and value system to operating as a corporate entity delivering municipal services. The Royal Bafokeng Administration is future-oriented and has expanded its horizons and aligned its traditional approach to a corporate approach. The article concludes with a synergy between the Royal Bafokeng Administration and the Greater Rustenburg Municipality. INTRODUCTION unicipal government and administration have developed unevenly in South Africa since the early 19th century. In the 20th century, intensified urban segregation was accompanied by the creation of councils that advised the administrators appointed by the white government to run Black, Coloured and Asian locations and townships. In most rural areas, the white governments tried to incorporate indigenous 162 Journal of Public Administration • Vol 45 no 1.1 • June 2010 hereditary traditional leaders of local communities as the front line for governing blacks, although the Cape administration also set up a parallel system of appointed headmen (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2009:8).

  • Democracy Haunts the ANC
    Democracy Haunts the ANC PIETERSBERG, South Africa February 1997 By Teresa C. Yates When I was eighteen I voted for the first time. It was the 1980 U.S. Presidential election and my candidate of choice was Jimmy Carter. When I voted for Jimmy Carter I was voting for the man and the political principles for which he stood. When I have voted in subsequent elections have voted for candidates who I think are liberal, and in most cases those candidates were Democrats. My mindset when voting, however, whether in national state, or local elections has always been one in which was voting for an individual candidate rather than a politi- cal party. When South Africans voted in their first democratic elections in 1994, they went to their polling places and voted for the African National Congress (ANC), the po- litical party of their choice. The ANC was the party that represented the libera- tion of the country to most South Africans. In voting for the ANC, South Africans were giving the National Executive Committee of the Party (NEC) the authority to appoint the President, members of Parliament, Provincial Premiers and Provincial legislatures. The number of Parlia- mentary seats the party was allowed to fill was proportional to the overall per- centage of national votes the party won. It was therefore the number of votes for the part not for any individual candidate, that determined the makeup of the national legislature. It is the system of proportional representation and the power it cedes to politi- cal parties that make it important that there be a system of democracy within po- litical parties.

Retour sur le parcours de ces mondialistes. Uruguay 1930 : les pionniers Par un froid glacial et quelques flocons de neige, la France affronte le Mexique : Lucien Laurent ouvre la marque à la 19ème minute d'une reprise de volée et devient le premier buteur de l'histoire de la Coupe du Monde (victoire 4-1). Deux jours plus tard, Laurent est à nouveau aligné face à l'Argentine. Menés 1-0, les Bleus dominent et se procurent plusieurs occasions. Sur l'une d'elle l'arbitre brésilien siffle inexplicablement la fin du match avec six minutes d'avance. Après de longues palabres, le match reprend sans que les Bleus ne parviennent à revenir au score, malgré une frappe sur la barre. Pour passer le premier tour, la France doit alors absolument battre son troisième adversaire : le Chili. Le sélectionneur effectue plusieurs changements et titularise Emile Veinante au poste d'avant-centre, mais ce 3ème match en six jours amène l'élimination de la France (0-1).
