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. Finally, to revive the spirit of voluntarism and non-racialism. The SOUTH AFRICAN COUNCIL ON SPORT (SACOS) was formed on 17 March 1973 to co-ordinate the fight against racial discrimination in sport and to promote non-racial sport in a non-racial and democratic SA.It consisted of 24 national non-racial sports organisations and 11 co-ordination Provincial Councils of Sport,of which the Transvaal Council of Sport (TRACOS) was one of them. COLLECTION MATERIAL Please note: This collection is a work in progress. Some of the descriptions in the collections structure are envisaged as possible additions, and have for now only been added as an entry. The organizers are hoping to encourage former role players to deposit more archival items over time. Items are not always ordered chronologically, as they are being added to the collection in the way in which they have been received. The digitisation of this collection is ongoing and the display of digitised items becomes available as each section is completed, or as they are received in digital format. However, as from 2018 digital items are no longer added to the inventory on this website, but will be continously uploaded on the Historical Papers AtoM instance on http://historicalpapers-atom.wits.ac.za/non-racial-sports-history-project-transvaal .
