RESOLUTIONS/. 15 RESOLUTIONS: At this stage the Resolutions Conmittee submitted the following Resolutions vAiich were adopted unanimously:

The South African Council on Sport (SACOS) at its Sepond Biennial Coiference, held on the 8 and 9 October, 1977 at the Board Room, Curries Fountain, Durban resolves:

a) That the South African Cycling Association show cause on or before the 15 November, 1977 vtfiy its membership with the South African Council of Sport (SACOS) should not be withdrawn on the grounds of its non-conplience with the (non-racial) principles of the South African Council of Sport.

b) SACOS cn behalf of all ncn-racial South African sportsmen and women hereby express its sincere thanks and appreciation to the Supreme Courx:il for Sport in Africa for granting SACOS Associate Membership of such a powerful and respected body. We are certain that our membership will effectively strengthen oinp struggle for non-racial sport in South Africa. SACOS in a declaration of its solidarity with the Supreme Council of Sport in Africa hereby rejects all forms of racialism in sport and accepts a caiplete moratorium on all sports tours to and from South Africa until all the trappings of apartheid have been removed from South African Sport.

c) SACOS CXI behalf of all non-racial South African sportsmen and wcman hereby ^ r e s s its sincere thanks and appreciaticxi to the South African Nan-Racial Olympic Caimittee and hereby declares its ccaiplete solicJarity with SAN-ROC for rejecting all forms of racialism in sport and the acxaptance of a complete moratorium, banning all sports tours to and from South Africa until all the trappings of apartheid have been re­ moved from South Africa. Sport.

d) This meeting is extremely pertcjrbed by the fact that the South African Soccer Federation (SASF) and its subsidary the South African Soccer Federation ProfessiOTial League appear to be adopting double standards by cissociating itself with administrators, clubs and players of racial sports bodies.

This meeting is also alarmed by the uncontradicted press reports which suggest that the SASF with the Pro.League is contemplating the acc:ept- ance of racial soccer bodies and or clubs.

SACOS reoaminends that officials of the; SASF and the Pro. League who claim to have been misquoted by the Press, take the necessary steps to investigate tiie sources of those reports and report the Press in questicxi to the Press Council and forward to SACOS the findings of the Press Council.

e) SACOS resolves that all affiliates of SACOS consult it before taking any decisions on policy and before participating in any discussions and or dialogues with racial bodies. and

f) SACOS calls on all sponsors to positively support non-r«cial sport as against sports played on a Multi-national or racialist basis. SACOS calls on all affiliates to consult with SACOS Executive to scrutinise the terms of any sponsorship before its acceptance. OTHER I''AIT£k S: The President and the iDembere e3q>ressed concern over the banning order on t-lorgan Naidoo and hoped that the Minister of Justice would soc»i lift the banning to enable Morgan Naidoo to continue with his sport activities.

The President e^ressed Council's sincere;th£3nks to Mrs.S.Maharaj for having assisted the Secretary in the conpilation of the Report and for having general­ ly assisted with SACOS woiic.

During its six years in existence SACOS has proved beyond any doubt that it is the true force of South Africa's non-racial sport - established in accordance with the Olympic Principles,

Your uncompromising stand against any form of racism and your total commitment for equality in sport has, at times, been deliberately and maliciously misrepresented. This misrepresentation, in fact, exposes the hypocrisy of South Africa's white sports administrators and their government.

Isolation from international sport - a necessary ingredient for the total eradication of apartheid sport - is nearling completion.

May I commend your non-racial sportsmen and sports administrators for standing firm on the principles of oACOS. Your principled stand will, inevitably, destroy the cancer of racism which South Africa's white sports administrators have persistently propagated.

July 27, 1979.

It is very gratifying that the South African Council on Sport has been unequivocally try­ ing to create a healthy atmosphere to eradi­ cate the heinous methods of apartheid and racial discrimination of all forms including sports. The Republic of South Africa has been particularly in the van-guard of preach­ ing and practising apartheid and racial dis­ crimination in South Africa. India is one with those who condemn and are making real endeavour to remove the bane of apartheid and racial discrimination from earth. It is, therefore, in the fitness of things that the South African Council on Sport has taken the stand in that direction. I am cer1;ain that^ the Third Biennial Conference will achieve the objects for which it is being held.

N U R U L A M I N I wish the Third Biennial' Conference to be held at Cape Town on 1st September, 197^ under the auspices of the South African Council on Sport all success.

NURUL AMIN, P r e s i d e n t , All India Football Federafion. As SACOS goes into session we hear cries.

"Apartheid is dead" (Minister P.Koemoff - USA July 1979)

“I hate Apartheid" (•Or.D.Craven - France August 1979)

The Government w ill not stand in the way of the races playing against each other (Minister of Sport, Punt Janson - August 1979)

BUT, significantly, and in the midst of it a ll. Minister Le Grange is shouted down ("scandal," "scandal") by a PATDON : GBO SINGH crowd of 700 at Potchefstroom for his support of so- called "new" State dispensation (August 1979).

Thus, emerging from i t a l l , is the fact that, b a sica lly , the status quo remains the same---- the scene is unchanged, with the same Apartheid trappings!

And so____ SACOS is left with no alternative but to continue to plod, resolutely and unswervingly, on the path that must lead to the complete elimination of a ll forms of race discrimination in South African sport.

We must nemind these peopte - a t the expense oi nepet- HASSM urn itio n - th a t we one no nebets and th a t we one veny co- openattve. The {flct that we have an open poticy and the ffict that we have met Intennationat Coimissions oi Inquiny must sunety indicate not onty oun sincenity but oun in ten est in spent - ion a tt. I t is not necessany ion us to nemind the Uinisten and on his suppontens th a t not a singte taw which, aiiect spont as a whote has been nevoked af^en white South Ainica was ousted inom sevenat wontd onganisations. In iact nothing signiiicant has been done to change the spont stnuctune in th is countny. Countnies such as Bnitain, New Zeatand, AuStnatia, Fnxxnce and Genmany knowing iu tt- wett that South Ainica has tegistated on the basis oi cotoun have pensisted with thein spont tie s with th is countny and have encounaged South Ainicans to ptay in thein coun­ tn ies.

He one totd "Vo not mix potitics with Spont". We wish to nemind those people i^ o shout the loudest that we do not "mix politics with sp o n f, in ia ct, we one committed to nemove politics inom spont. Those that wish to netain politics in spont must centainly be nacists. He do not need them in oun cincle. I believe that eveny penson has the night to ptay with whom he desines and ii some spont- smen and women wish to ptay among thein own kind then they cannot belong to oun. ongani­ sation - as oun ideology is completety diHenent but'not uncommon. Hhite South Ainica in onden to maintain its ideology has passed sevenal taws and the spont institutions - white onientated - have been iinanciatty assisted by the Vepant- ment oi Spont. I t has spent and continues to spend vast sums oi monies to pnesent the "Uutti-naciat" image. Hhitst they pnetend to the outside wontd that all is wetl in this countny what about : a. The Population Registnation Act - 1950, b. The Gnoup Aneas Act - 1966, c. The Resenvation oi Sepanate Amenities Act - 1953, d. The Liquon Act - 1977, and e. . The Cniminal Law Amendment Act - 1953.

Those that say "do not mix politics with spont!’ should be bonn a black South Ainican to neceive the iutl impact oi the above taws, which one a iew oi the many that have an e iie c t on the black. UUk fiegoAd to thz alte^atiovii - that m havz iniutted the IntzAMtional CotmUaton6 oi InqvuUty - I mait itate mo&t mphaticalty that we OAt not guttty. When the Inten- nfttionaZ Oiicket Convenience, (ICC) The JntematLonat Tennti FedeAotion, (ITF) and the TedenatLon lnteAnationate.de natation AmateuA, (FINA) dJAruA/.ed aarl nt diicAtmt- nation tn South k{/viaui Spout and Aeiotved to iend to thii eountAy theiA CuitmAtmAom oi InquAAy, AeveAot membeA nations tn each oV those tnteAnationat bodies StAongZy objected to the v is it stating cleanly that i t m s not necessany ioA a Coimission to v is it South Kfyvica as, the policy oV the South A^Aican Govenninent is one oV Aocism.

We OY\ly Aepeated that. We have not insulted the Commissions. On the otheA hand o u a CAicketing odministAotoAS, tennis o^iictals and suUmnUng AepAesentatives uieAe only too m lling to update the Commissions Aeconds on apoAtheid in spoAt. In the case oV the ICC and the ITF, theiA hosts in this countAy did not consult the non-Aocial codes neitheA did they pAepoAe an itineAoAy in consultation uiith the SA CAicket Boand and the SoutheAn Apiica Lawn Tennis Union and the South A^Aican National Lawn Tennis Union. We have been also accused o^ not having extended ouA hand to the "hand of fAiendship". As foA as I am conceAned no hand was extended to me and I know of no offeA made to oua Council. On the otheA hand i f such a "hand of fAiendship" was extended to us by Aocially oAientated spoAt oAganisations then thixt "hand of fAiendship" would not be a tAue and a sinceAe one. In fact it will Aemind us of the humiliation - not white veAses black but a Aocialist veASes a non-Aocialist. We have been called by many names. Some oAe veAy insulting and some veAy defamatoAy. I must Aemind these people that o u a oAganisation, a non-Aoctal one, is pAopeAly constit­ uted to bAing about peaceful changes in the spoAts stAuctuAe of ouA countAy. We do not want to fail but in the pAocess if we oAe stopped then I am afAoid the olteAnative is too ghastly to contempiate. I finmly believe that spoAt w ill a ssist to bAing about a change and I uAge a ll persons to conmit themselves to non-Aocism so that a ll of us could help build a betteA South AfAica.

I am not opposed to dialogue and I have been always pAepoAed to listen to the ottieA's point of view. But I shall not be dictated to by peASons o a OAganisations that offeA an ideology otheA than non-Aacialism. I will not accept subseAvient membeAship o a consideA associate levels. Any foAm of membeAship based on ethnic lines w ill not be toleAoted by this oAganisation. I will welcome a policy in the inteAest of all South AfAicans without sacAificing the essence of non-Aocialism.

Affiliates of o u a Council, desiAiouS oV holding talks with otheA peASons o a oAganisations should consult ouA Council and should ensuAe that nothing is sold beneath the table. Alt codes would Aecall that we o a c committed to play spoAt fAom the lowest level and in this AegoAd thcAe must be equal oppoAtunity in a ll Aespects so that the child could take fu ll advantage of a ll those fa cilities and the oppoAtunities befoAe i t .

In conclusion I wish to state that o u a stAuggle is an uphill battle. NumbeAWise we OAC veAy stAong. We have the backing of a ll disenfAanchised people. NatuAolly we cannot be weak. But we do not have su fficien t funds, sponsoAShips and the voAious otheA things that could make o u a o^anisation, THE ORGANISATION. NeveAtheless with the seycAol PAovincial Units - now cateAing thAoughout the countAd - fully constituted and oAganised to bAing about changes in theiA OAeas the hand of SACOB hM been gAeatly stAengthened. We OAe not alone in Oils StAuggle - equality foA a ll in spoAt. WoAld suppoAt, fAom the SupAeme Council foA SpoAt in AfAica, the United Nations and voAious otheA oAganisations comnitted to the Aemoval of Aocial discAimination in South AfAican spoAt, is foAeveA mounting.

We con only win. And we must.
