  • Sport, Politics and Black Athletics in South Africa During the Apartheid Era Sociology Provides an Additional Dynamic Sub-Theme with Strong Contemporary Relevance
    Pieter Labuschagne Professor and Head of SPORT, POLITICS AND BLACK Department, Department ATHLETICS IN SOUTH AFRICA of Political Sciences, University of South Africa. DURING THE APARTHEID ERA: [email protected] A POLITICAL-SOCIOLOGICAL DOI: https://dx.doi.org/ PERSPECTIVE 10.18820/24150509/ JCH41.v2.5 Abstract ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) The article examines the relationship between sport and politics in Journal for South Africa from a political-sociological perspective, with a specific Contemporary History focus on the status of black athletics in apartheid South Africa. The 2016 41(2):82-104 narrower focus aims to outline how white civil society and the National © UV/UFS Party government utilised athletics as a mechanism to enforce the policy of separateness/apartheid in the South African society. In the process, white dominated political structures and centralised political processes were used to dominate and regulate black athletics in South Africa (1894-1976). The structures and dynamics of black athletics were, for more than a century, manipulated and dictated for political and related reasons. The manipulation took place in three broad identifiable periods, namely: 1884-1960 – the period of “informal” segregation, when the national body, provinces and clubs used race as a mechanism to enforce cleavages in society. The second period stretches from 1960- 1976, when the National Party adopted a more assertive direct role to enforce their sports policy. The last period, between 1976 and 1992, signified another direction change, when government stepped back and only set the broader framework for the regulation of athletics in South Africa. In each of the periods, the politics-sport power relationship will be explained in relation to the regulation of black athletics in the country.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 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 author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

  • Press Statement Oasis Sticks with Vodacom Bulls And
    PRESS STATEMENT OASIS STICKS WITH VODACOM BULLS AND BLUE BULLS WINNING FORMULA Cape Town 25th February 2010 –Oasis Group Holdings has signed a multi-million rand landmark deal with the Vodacom Super 14 champions the Bulls for another five years. The asset management company announced that the Vodacom Bulls were once again their number one choice after what they described as a fruitful partnership. As the only black owned and managed company to sponsor a Super 14 rugby team, Oasis Group represents the front line of rugby transformation. “We decided to continue the relationship with the Bulls because as a winning brand we want to be associated with another winning brand and there is no better product in South African rugby than the Bulls. Five years ago we had the vision and foresight to bet on the Bulls. Now looking back on the wonderful rewards that relationship has afforded us and the success of the Bulls franchise, we know that we made the right decision,” says Nazeem Ebrahim, Oasis Marketing Director. The Blue Bulls have one of the better transformation records of any rugby union and as well the winning record. The most recent 2009 BMI survey revealed that Bulls enjoy the largest support fan base of all the South African Super 14 teams with no less than 2.75 million supporters nationwide, 62% of which incidentally consists of black or coloured supporters. “Over the past few years Oasis has become a very big part of the Vodacom Bulls and Blue Bulls Family and we are delighted that they have decided to renew their sponsorship for another 5 years,” said Barend van Graan, CEO Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd.
