ABSTRACT Christianity has seen phenomenal growth in sub-Saharan Africa and African churches in the West have also grown rapidly in the last few decades. The majority of members in these churches in the West are migrants and their children. In Britain, these migrant churches represent a vibrant form of Christianity with regard to their visibility and prominence. Considering the history of these migrants’ churches and the challenges they face in their efforts to evangelise the host community, most migrant members of these churches use the churches as the platform for their own expression of personhood, faith and mission.

Bringing together a diverse range of high-level African stakeholders belonging to various public and private constituencies, as well as selected non-African partners, the Forum is an open and frank discussion. It aims to go beyond stating issues and renewing commitments by defining pragmatic strategies, operational action points and shared responsibilities. Since this year sees the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of African unity, the focus of the 2013 Ibrahim Forum is on the major opportunities and challenges the continent will have to tackle over the next 50 years. To facilitate the debate, the panels will be organised around the four Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) categories – Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development – all of which are areas requiring exceptional leadership and governance. Each of the panels will aim to address four key questions: • What are the key priorities? • Who are the key actors responsible for driving and implementing the agenda? • What resources are available/necessary to ensure success and progress? • What indicators/mechanisms can be used to monitor implementation and measure results?

Bheki Hlabane Title: The Political, Economic And Social Impact Of Hosting Mega-Sports Events: The 2010 South Africa World Cup In Comparative Perspective PhD Thesis submitted to: Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU). Asia Pacific Studies (APS) 2012 Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my supervisor, Prof Jeremy Eades, whose support and guidance has served as a pillar of strength and encouragement throughout my studies. His approach and positive attitude had been the key in helping me develop a better understanding of the issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof Malcolm Cooper for giving direction throughout my fieldwork process. Further acknowledgements are due to the South African Tourism office in Japan and the South African Embassy in Japan. Both have made a significant contribution in my PhD studies in Japan. The chance to have such an exciting and educational research experience would not have been possible without the quality of programs offered at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. In addition, the University helped me with material support, technical support and in participation in student life. They say life is a journey. I guess that is also true with studying towards a PhD degree. The experience I have gained throughout my studies at APU will be significant as my life moves forward. To date, I have managed to publish two papers/articles. The first one has been published with the Ritsumeikan Journal (RJAPS), Volume 28 in 2010 and titled Sociology of Sports mega-events, Tourism Perspective. The second one is published in The International Journal of Sport and Society, volume 1.Issue 4, titled Sociology of Sports Mega –Events: Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup; ‘Global Peace Building Initiative.
