Physical culture refers to human movement programmes with an entertainment component, but that also uses physical education activity. This study serves as an account of Physical Education and physical culture in the Coloured community of the Western Cape in the period 1837 to 1966. It offers a historical exploration of these activities in the social and political context and cuts across narrow definitions of race and class. The research also pays attention to the untold and unpleasant side of Physical Education. This necessitated tracing the origins of Physical Education and physical culture back to their European roots, because of the strong political and cultural links between South Africa and Europe. The Cape Coloured petty bourgeoisie urbanite minority of the 19th and early 20th century were eager but unable to infiltrate the ranks of middle class White society. They were acutely aware of the need to show respect towards White middle classes and also to distance them from the “unruly behaviour” of the working class. For this reason Physical Education and physical culture programmes became suitable means for the Coloured petty bourgeoisie to educate the “less fortunate” Coloured working class masses. The research is divided into six chapters. The first deals with contextual issues relating to the idea of Colouredness in South Africa and the implications for Physical Education and physical culture. This is amplified by an overview of the historical development of these subjects in Great Britain. Chapter two offers an extensive literature review that deals with Physical Education and physical culture in South Africa and centres around three themes: the omission of Coloured people in Physical Education history, Coloured marginalisation as a natural phenomenon and an analytical criticism of South African Physical Education. The third chapter identifies the historical-scientific method as the vehicle for research. It exposes the shortcomings of this method and presents possible ways to overcome these shortcomings. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary Chapter four discusses the practice and influence of missionary school teaching, the main source of education and therefore also the source of Physical Education for Coloured children. Chapter five focuses on the practices of Physical Education and physical culture in the broader Coloured community. It is demonstrated how Physical Education and physical culture practised outside the school context in the Coloured community operated within a code of conduct labelled “civilised behaviour”, with the hope of being accepted by White society. The concluding chapter captures the essence of Physical Education and physical culture practice in the Coloured community. It provides insight into racial and class intersection during two time periods when White racism dictated the practice. This gives reason to exercise caution against calls for the reintroduction of Physical Education into post- apartheid schools, when racism is still part of daily experiences in South Africa. vii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde is ’n menslike bewegingsaktiwiteit wat deur sillabusse en opvoedkundige programme aangedryf word. Daarteenoor is liggaamlike kultuur ’n menslike bewegingsprogram wat vermaak insluit, maar ook van liggaamlike opvoedingsaktiwiteite gebruik maak. Hierdie studie bied ’n oorsig oor Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur in die bruin gemeenskap van Wes-Kaapland vir die periode 1837 tot 1966. Dit dien as ’n historiese ondersoek van hierdie gebiede, met inagneming van die sosiaal-maatskaplike en politiese konteks en oorbrug nougesette definisies van ras en klas. Die navorsing poog ook om die onvertelde en minder aangename kant van die storie te vertel. Weens die politieke en kulturele band tussen Suid-Afrika en Europa, is die Europese oorsprong van Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur ondersoek. Die opkomende middelklas, verstedelikte bruin minderheidsgroep van die 19de en vroeë 20ste eeu was ywerig maar onsuksesvol om die wit gemeenskap binne te dring. Hulle was intens bewus daarvan dat hulle respek teenoor die wit middelklas moes toon en hulle moes distansieer van die “onwelvoeglike gedrag” van die werkersklas. Om hierdie rede het Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde- en liggaamskultuur- programme ’n gepaste manier vir die bruin middelklas geword om die “minder gegoede” bruin werkersklas op te voed. Die navorsing is in ses hoofstukke verdeel. Die eerste hoofstuk bespreek kontekstuele kwessies wat verband hou met die ideë van bruinwees en die implikasies vir Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur. Die bespreking word uitgebrei deur ’n oorsig oor die historiese ontwikkeling van die vakgebiede in Groot-Brittanje. Hoofstuk twee bied ’n omvattende literatuuroorsig oor Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur en sentreer rondom drie temas: die weglating van bruinmense uit die geskiedenis van Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde; die marginalisering van bruinmense as ’n natuurlike verskynsel en ’n analitiese kritiek van Suid-Afrikaanse Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming Die derde hoofstuk identifiseer die histories-wetenskaplike metode as die navorsingsmetodiek. Dit belig ook die tekortkominge van hierdie metode en bespreek moontlike aanpassings om die tekortkomings te oorkom. Hoofstuk vier ondersoek die praktyk en invloed van sendingonderwys, die hoofbron van onderwys en daarom ook die bron van Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde vir bruin kinders. Hoofstuk vyf fokus op Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur in die breër bruin gemeenskap. Dit word gedemonstreer hoe diegene in die breër bruin gemeenskap wat Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur beoefen het, dit volgens gedragskodes van ‘beskaafde gedrag’ gedoen het, met die hoop om deur die wit gemeenskap aanvaar te word. Die slothoofstuk is ’n samevatting van die essensie van Liggaamlike Opvoedkunde en liggaamlike kultuur in die bruin gemeenskap en bied insig in die interaksie tussen ras en klas gedurende twee tydperke waartydens wit rassisme die norm was.

  • Curriculum Reform in Lesotho: Teachers' Conceptions And
    Curriculum Reform in Lesotho: Teachers’ conceptions and challenges NAME: CECILIA SELEPE SUPERVISOR: MS BRONWEN WILSON-THOMPSON A RESEARCH REPORT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE MASTERS DEGREE IN EDUCATIONAT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG, 15TH MARCH 2016 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 1.1 INTRODUCTION This study explored the teachers’ understanding and challenges in implementing integrated curriculum in Lesotho. Integrated curriculum was first implemented in 2013, the inception was introduced in foundation phase (grade one to three) and progressively moved to grade four and five in 2014 and 2015 respectively. The progression will happen until integrated curriculum reaches Matric as the new curriculum is being implemented in phases starting from primary school. Given this the research sites were primary schools in Maseru, the capital of Lesotho. This chapter outlines and gives the research context and what motivated the study. 1.2 BACKGROUND The value of Education in Lesotho can be traced back to the period before the country was colonized by Britain. The education of boys and girls was done separately instilling traditional values in them. The rationale of this indigenous education was to produce initiates who would pride themselves with their traditional values. The formal training lasted less than a year where boys were trained to fight with sticks and to protect their country from attacks, for girls the focus was more around respect and taking care of the family (Motaba, 1998). The change in education system then came during colonial rule which can be dated as far back as 1830s with the arrival of missionaries of different denominations.

  • Führt Der Weg Zum Ziel? Überlegungen Zur Verbindung Des Modernen Yoga*) Mit Patanjalis Yoga-Sutra Annette Blühdorn
    erschienen in zwei Teilen in: Deutsches Yoga-Forum 6/2019, S.30-33 und 1/2020, S.26-31 © Dr. Annette Blühdorn Führt der Weg zum Ziel? Überlegungen zur Verbindung des Modernen Yoga*) mit Patanjalis Yoga-Sutra Annette Blühdorn Er hatte es schon in sich erfahren, dass Glaube und Zweifel zusammengehören, dass sie einander bedingen wie Ein- und Ausatmen. (Hermann Hesse, Das Glasperlenspiel) Als im Juni 2015 zum ersten Mal weltweit der Internationale Yoga-Tag begangen wurde, traten sehr schnell Kritiker auf den Plan, die dieses Ereignis als politische Machtdemonstration der national- konservativen indischen Regierung interpretierten. Yoga solle hier als ausschließlich indisches Erbe und Kulturgut dargestellt werden, während doch tatsächlich der heute überall auf der Welt praktizierte moderne Yoga auch von vielfältigen Strömungen und Einflüssen des Westens geprägt worden sei. So ungefähr lautete damals die Kritik, die mir geradezu ketzerisch erschien; ziemlich heftig wurde da an den Grundfesten meiner heilen Yoga-Welt gerüttelt. Weil aber, wie Hermann Hesse im Glasperlenspiel erklärt, Glaube und Zweifel sich gegenseitig bedingen, wurde es mir bald ein Bedürfnis, mich mit dieser Kritik konstruktiv auseinanderzusetzen. Inzwischen sind die Inhalte dieses Forschungszweigs, der sich mit der Tradition und Entwicklung des Yoga beschäftigt, bei mir angekommen. Ich habe von dem soge- nannten Hatha-Yoga-Project der School of Oriental and African Studies der University of London erfahren, in der groß aufgestellten Webseite von Modern Yoga Research gestöbert

  • Financing Higher Education in Lesotho and a Selection of Other Sadc Countries
    FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION IN LESOTHO AND A SELECTION OF OTHER SADC COUNTRIES Spirit B. Tlali and Innocent Hapazari Faculty of Science and Technology, National University of Lesotho, P.O. Roma 180, Lesotho, Southern Africa. Email: [email protected] Abstract In practice, Lesotho’s Higher Education funding model is similar to most of her SADC counterparts, especially the few that have been elucidated upon in this document – namely Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland. The national governments are the major sponsors for their respective education systems and for higher education in particular. The sponsorship is generally in the form of direct government subvention to institutions and student support grants and/or loans, usually administered by some government body, such as the National Manpower Development Secretariat (NMDS) in the case of Lesotho. The government subvention is negotiated according to the institutional budgetary needs vis-viz the national government’s budgetary priorities and constraints for the given year. Comparatively, Lesotho has been observed to offer the lowest per capita support to its learners and, particularly to her Higher Education (HE) learners. Introduction The fact that HE plays a central role in driving socio-economic development and competitiveness of a country can never be over emphasized. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) categorized the contributions of HE to socio-economic development into four major domains, namely: the formation of human capital (primarily through teaching and learning), the building of knowledge bases (primarily through research and knowledge development), the dissemination and use of knowledge (primarily through interactions with knowledge users) and the maintenance of knowledge (through inter- generational storage and transmission of knowledge).

    SACS High School Prospectus SACS High School Prospectus Physical Address: Newlands Avenue Newlands Postal Address: Private Bag, Newlands, Cape Town, 7725 Ph: 021-6894164 Fax: 021-6852669 Admissions Secretary: Mrs Irene Innes – [email protected] Brief History SACS is the oldest high school in South Africa, founded in September 1829. It is arguably the most magnificent setting at the foot of Table Mountain and Devils peak. The concept of the South African College was first formed in 1791 when the Dutch Commissioner-General, Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist, asked for funding to be set aside to improve schooling in the Cape. After the British took over control of the Cape Colony its first governor, Lord Charles Henry Somerset PC, gave permission for the funds reserved by de Mist to be used to establish the South African College in 1814. It was decided in 1874 that the younger students should be separated from their older counterparts. The South African College was separated into the College which became the University of Cape Town and the College School. The College School moved to its own building on Orange Street, separate from the College, in 1896. For the next few decades, the school grew and the building became too small for the number of students attending. In 1959 the school moved to its current home in the Montebello Estate in Newlands,] former home of the mining magnate Sir Max Michaelis, after a decade-long negotiation with the Cape Administration. SACS High School Mission Statement “The South African College High School seeks to promote excellence within an all-round education, to prepare boys to play a constructive role as compassionate, thinking individuals in society”.
