  • 21 Icons Season Ii South Africa
    21 ICONS SEASON II SOUTH AFRICA MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed until 31 August 2014 at 12h00 (SA) Johannesburg –31 August 2014 - Francois Pienaar: “The power of sport is incredible. It cuts across all colours, all religions, all creeds, all people; it’s got an amazing effect on people.” On 31 August 2014 at 20h27 on SABC 3, 21 ICONS provides a glimpse into the mind of Francois Pienaar, the former Springbok rugby captain who led South Africa to glory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Now in its second season, 21 ICONS shines a spotlight on the country’s most outstanding citizens and masters of society. From renowned leaders to entrepreneurs, from struggle stalwarts to sporting heroes, their determination, humanity and dedication typify what makes this country great. Adrian Steirn, one of the preeminent photographers and filmmakers in South Africa, has captured their spirits in a series that is as intimate as it is compelling. Steirn comments, “I’ve met many people whose stories are incredibly powerful – it’s a true privilege to discover more about the human spirit and share these individuals personal accounts, their positive character traits and their propensity to influence and shape perceptions and transform societal norms for the better, impacting the communities around them.” Each short film is accompanied by a striking black and white portrait of the participants in the series, which appears in a Sunday paper on the same day that the film is flighted. These portraits will be made available for sale at an auction later this year, with all proceeds going to charity.

  • How Mandela Inspired Pienaar and Springboks to Conquer the World We Talked About All Things and Not Just the World Cup
    18 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, June 23, 2020 Photo of the day Hamilton marches in anti-racism protest LONDON: Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton marched in the latest anti-racism protest in London on Sunday, describing the experience as “really moving”. The 35-year-old Hamilton, the only black driver in F1, joined the protests which have become com- mon since the death of George Floyd in the United States last month. “Went down to Hyde Park today for the peace- ful protest and I was so proud to see in person so many people of all races and backgrounds sup- porting this movement,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. “I was proud to be out there acknowl- edging and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, and my black heritage. “I was also happy to see so many white sup- porters out there in the name of equality for all. It was really moving. I’m feeling extremely positive that change will come, but we cannot stop now. Keep pushing.” Hamilton also posted a photograph of himself holding up a Black Lives Matter sign while his T-shirt slogan said: ‘Black is a vibe’. The six-time world champion also wore a yel- low scarf around his face. Earlier, Hamilton had penned an article for Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper in which he said he was launching his own diversity body to attract more black youngsters into motor racing, insisting the “time for token gestures is over”. Hamilton, a powerful and influential voice, said he was teaming up with Britain’s Royal Academy of Engineering to launch The Hamilton Commission.

  • Saint Or Comrade: Representations of Nelson Mandela in Film
    ‘Magic Negro’, Saint or Comrade: Representations of Nelson Mandela in Film Roger Bromley “In the late 1980s, Nelson Mandela stood alone against the apartheid state.” This comment taken from the DVD Box set cover of Nelson Mandela: From Freedom to History summarises the approach taken by many of the cinematic and televisual representations of Mandela. Linked with this is a statement by the CEO of Marriott which speaks of Mandela as “an individual who changed the arc of history through his or her singular contribution, not as a function of the era or the movement but because of what they did alone.” Together, these descriptions attempt to appropriate Mandela for a sanitised version of western individualism which sees him variously as a liberal icon, saintly hero, or the celebrity one-off “magic negro”, in Okwongo’s damning phrase taken from his magisterial valedictory piece “Mandela will never, ever be your minstrel” (Okwongo 2013). In the process, Mandela’s role in the anti-apartheid struggle is de-contextualised, mystified, and effectively depoliticised, a cardboard cut- out severed from his era and the ‘movement’, displaced from the militancy of his early revolutionary commitment and long-term embeddedness in a complex political community, which existed both in South Africa itself and in exile overseas. It is well known that there were elements of choreography, scripting and performance in the public persona of Mandela, the product of a deliberately crafted strategy developed by the ANC leadership abroad in conjunction with the man himself. How far this is Saggi/Ensayos/Essais/Essays 40 N. 12 – 11/2014 reflected in the various filmic versions of his life will be one of the issues addressed.
