The World Champions Soccer in South Africa in 2010

Tailor Made Concrete Structures – Walraven & Stoelhorst (eds) © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-47535-8 The World Champions Soccer in South Africa in 2010 Danny Jordaan CEO 2010 FIFAWorld Cup Organisation South Africa CURRICULUM VITAE Daniel Alexander “Danny” Jordaan (born September 03, 1951) is a South African sports administrator as well as a former lecturer, politician and anti-apartheid activist. He is best known for leading South Africa’s successful Football World Cup 2010 bid. Born in Port Elizabeth, a city on the southeast coast of South Africa, Jordaan got involved in anti-apartheid activities by joining the South African Students’ Organisation (SASO) in the early 1970s. This organisation was founded by Steve Biko in order to defend the rights of black students. Later, Jordaan also became a member of the United Democratic Front and the African National Congress (ANC). Following his studies, Jordaan became a teacher in 1974. From 1970 to 1983 he was a provincial cricket and football player. In the latter sport, he achieved professional status for a brief period. His political and sport interests soon combined and he became an activist in various organisations fighting to break down racial barriers in sport. From 1983 to 1992 he served as the president or vice-president of various soccer boards. In 1993 he was appointed as a director of the Cape Town Olympic Bid Company. His political career also progressed; in 1990 he was elected as the chairperson of theANC branch in Port Elizabeth North. After the first fully inclusive South African elections in 1994, he became a member of parliament for the ANC, a position he held until 1997. In 1997, he was elected as the chief executive officer of the South African Football Association (SAFA). He sub- sequently headed South Africa’sunsuccessful Football World Cup 2006 bid, gaining great respect internationally for his work. As a consequence, he also led South Africa’s Football World Cup 2010 bid, this time successfully. Jordaan has served on the marketing and television board of FIFA since 1998. He received a special presidential award from President Nelson Mandela in 1994 as well as the presidential sport achievement award from President Thabo Mbeki in 2001. He won South Africa’s marketing person of the year award in 2000. Jordaan has a BA Honours degree from the University of South Africa. In 2004, he was voted 44th in the Top 100 Great South Africans. 7 .

An assessment of the perception of the role of the Christian religious leader in the political process: the case of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality By Thomas Frank Terblanche Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for Magister Artium: Political Science to be awarded at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University January 2017 Supervisor: Prof Joleen Steyn-Kotze i Acknowledgments Firstly, I would like to thank my Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus. I am more aware of Apostle Paul’s assertion, “I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens Me” (Philippians 4:13), now after completing this task. Without the strength of God, I would have never accomplished it. My sincerest appreciation must be extended to my supervisor Prof Joleen Steyn-Kotze. Prof your patience and guidance through this project is unmatched. Thank you for drawing the best out of me. I am truly privileged to have you as an academic mentor. To my parents Roland and Nola Terblanche. Thank you for constantly believing in me and in my abilities. I could not have asked for better parents! To my broader circle of family, friends and mentors. I am reminded of Hebrews 12:1. Indeed, you are my ‘great cloud of witnesses.’ Your encouragement throughout the process inspired me to soldier on. Special mention must be made of my mentors Pastor Haydon Ownhouse and Dr. Randall Jonas. Your gentle nudges were exactly what I needed. The participants, who were more than eager to give me of your valuable time, thank you. The knowledge you possess about local political environment and the perceived role of clergy is immaculate.

Conceding an Own Goal
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) Sidelining Developmental Goals? Re-imaging Port Elizabeth for the 2010 Soccer World Cup Gary Baines, Rhodes University When I lived in Port Elizabeth in the 1980s, jokes about the ‘Ghost on the Coast’ abounded. Despondency about the city’s prospects was the dominant mood. The economic slump experienced by Port Elizabeth during the 1980s was due in part to tightening economic sanctions on the apartheid regime, and in part to the city’s dependence on the fortunes of the motor industry. The PE-Uitenhage metropole’s loss of primacy as a motor assembly-cum- manufacturing centre was prompted by General Motors’s and Ford’s disinvestment from South Africa. The militancy of the labour unions, the government’s inadequate incentives and the absence of secondary industries such as steel production in the region were further constraints on the development of the sector. However, GM’s selling off of its Struandale plant to Delta, a corporation of local investors/entrepreneurs, and Volkswagen’s decision to remain in the country probably prevented the collapse of the motor vehicle manufacturing sector in the metropole. The lights of the city were dimmed but not switched off. With the advent of a democratic dispensation the city of Port Elizabeth has reinvented itself. It has appropriated the name of Nelson Mandela although it has no association with South Africa’s greatest icon. Greater Port Elizabeth, Despatch and Uitenhage collectively became known as Nelson Mandela Metropole (NMM) and the municipality as the NMMM.

Playing by FIFA's Rules: the Politics and Potential
Playing by FIFA’s Rules: The Politics and Potential Legacy of Port Elizabeth’s Hosting 2010 World Cup Matches Abstract Port Elizabeth was the first South African city to complete construction of a brand new venue to host 2010 FIFA World Cup matches. The metropolitan authority backed by the private sector hopes this spectacular event will change the city‟s Cinderella status and transform it into a “winning city”. However, meeting FIFA‟s requirements has many pitfalls. The escalating cost of the stadium has contributed to the metropole‟s budget shortfall thereby hindering its own service delivery obligations. Long-term developmental goals will be sacrificed for the sake of enhancing the city‟s image. Consequently, the legacy of the World Cup will be economically uneven and politically fractious. 8.447 mots, 54.472 signes (espaces et note en bas page inclus) Playing by FIFA’s Rules: The Politics and Potential Legacy of Port Elizabeth’s Hosting 2010 World Cup Matches The 2010 Fédération International de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup is billed as the largest sporting event ever held on South African soil. The spectacle will dwarf the Rugby and Cricket World Cups held in 1995 and 2003, respectively, in terms of the size of live and television audiences, the scale of advertising and sponsorship deals, as well as the amount of government investment in infrastructure. The staging of such mega-events confirms the African National Congress government‟s embrace of neo-liberalism for it reiterates the country‟s place within the world of economic globalisation. FIFA operates within this trade/tourism nexus and the 2010 World Cup will be a “mega-event” in every sense of the word.

Speech by Cyril Ramaphosa Adoption Day 8 May 1996
Speech by Cyril Ramaphosa Adoption Day 8 May 1996 The CHAIRPERSON OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY: Deputy Chairperson of the Constitutional Assembly, Comrade President, Deputy Presidents Thabo Mbeki and F W de Klerk, leaders of all political parties represented here, your majesties, your excellencies, Speaker of the National Assembly, Deputy Speaker, President of the Senate, Deputy President of the Senate, members of the National Assembly and the Senate, I would like to welcome you all as the Deputy Chairperson of the Constitutional Assembly has. I would also like to say today is a day of joy. It is a day of celebration. They have just brought me some water here, and I would like to do what the hon the President often does as he addresses us, because it is a day to say cheers! It is indeed a historic day. It is the birthday of the South African rainbow nation. This is the day when South Africa is truly born. As we begin this joyous and solemn occasion, I would like to reveal a part of myself and to dedicate my address to three great South Africans who would have been here with us today if time and tide had been kinder: Oliver Reginald Tambo, Chris Hani and Joe Slovo. There are many others one could have cited, but these are the three leaders whom I personally sorely missed during the process of constitution-making. I missed them, because I related to all of them in different ways. All of them were there when we started the negotiation process, and they contributed a great deal to me personally, in enabling me and many others to negotiate the transition process and emerge with an interim Constitution.
