As alumni you can remain involved with your alma mater in many different ways, including lifelong learning opportunities, sharing your knowledge and skills as mentors and advisors, employing graduates and contributing financially to projects of your choice. The Alumni Relations Directorate is a service de- partment which exists to ensure that NMMU main- tains and continuously strengthens relationships with you, our alumni. We have a rich history and all alumni (former UPE, PE Technikon, Saasveld and Vista PE) form part of the family.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

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.

NEWS In what has been described as one of the most vocal and visible school activist campaigns, St John’s College led a #BringBackOurGirls protest on a chilly winter’s morning in May by forming a human chain around the perimeter of the school. Over 700 St John’s College students held up banners in silence for the 230 Nigerian school girls who were kidnaped by the Boko Haram. Other schools that participated included St Stithians, St Andrew’s, Redhill, St Teresa’s, Roedean, Kingsmead, St David’s, Parktown Boys and St Mary’s. Support from the motorists driving past was overwhelming with people hooting, waving and flashing lights in recognition of a cause which is very close to our pupils’ hearts.

  • Sport Consumption Patterns in the Eastern Cape:Cricket
    SPORT CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN THE EASTERN CAPE: CRICKET SPECTATORS AS SPORTING UNIVORES OR OMNIVORES Kelcey Brock* Gavin Fraser# Rhodes University Rhodes University Ferdi Botha+ Rhodes University Received: March 2016 Accepted: July 2016 Abstract Since its inception, consumption behaviour theory has developed to account for the important social aspects that underpin or at least to some extent explain consumer behaviour. Empirical studies on consumption behaviour of cultural activities, entertainment and sport have used Bourdieu’s (1984) omnivore/univore theory to investigate consumption of leisure activities. The aim of this study is to investigate whether South African cricket spectators are sporting omnivores or univores. The study was conducted among cricket spectators in the Eastern Cape at four limited overs cricket matches in the 2012/2013 cricket season. The results indicate that consumption behaviour of sport predominantly differs on the grounds of education and race. This suggests that there are aspects of social connotations underpinning sports consumption behaviour within South Africa. Keywords Consumption; sport; univores; omnivores; social connotations _______________________________ *Ms K Brock is a lecturer in the Department of Economics and Economic History, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. #Prof G Fraser is professor in the Department of Economics and Economic History, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. +Mr F Botha is a senior lecturer in the Department of Economics and Economic History, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. [[email protected]] Journal of Economic and Financial Sciences | JEF | October 2016 9(3), pp. 667-684 667 Brock, Fraser & Botha 1. INTRODUCTION Sport is highly regarded among South Africans, both in terms of active participation and in a passive role as a spectator (Brember, 2009).
