    UNITED NATIONS UNITED NATIONS CENTRE AGAINST APARTHEID l t C4- 9Cr 7/88 April 1988 REGISTER OF SPORTS CONTACTS WITH SOUTH AFRICA 1 JANUARY 1987 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 AND CONSOLIDATED LIST OF SPORTSMEN AND SPORTSWOMEN WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SPORTS EVENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA 1 SEPTEMBER 1980 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 [Note: The names of persons in this list are arranged by nationality as reported in the press. The names of participants from schools and junior competitors are not included in the list. It should be noted, however, that the Governments of many countries in the list have opposed or discouraged sports exchanges with South Africa. Some of the sportspersons may be living outside their countries.] United Nations, New York 10017 INTRODUCTION The international campaign against apartheid sport continued to make progress during 1987. In response, South Africa has embarked on a massive exercise to lure well-known athletes from overseas to compete there by offering them substantial sums of money. Although many countries tightened their regulations in regard to these exchanges in 1987, South Africa continued its efforts to mitigate the effects of the boycott. It is estimated that South Africa spends approximately $US 100 million annually to promote international sports exchanges and subsidize sports organizations which endorse government policies. Commercial'houses which sponsor any event involving overseas participants are refunded 90 per cent of their gross outlay through tax rebates. Thus, South Africa devotes large sums of money to attract overseas players. With the exception of some top golfers and tennis players and a few others, the calibre of players participating in South Africa has been mediocre.
