    Behind the Rhodes Statue: Black Competency and the Imperial Academy

    Behind the Rhodes Statue: Black Competency and the Imperial Academy Robbie Shilliam Introduction Stuart Hall was a central figure in the formation of Britain’s “new left”, a founding force in the field of cultural studies, and a scholar who introduced thousands of mature and working students to the study of modernity via his Open University courses and text books (Warmington 2014, 92–94). Hall entered the British academy in 1951 as a Jamaican youth to read an undergraduate degree in English at Merton College, Oxford. Much later in his life, Hall (2017, 169, 2010, 179) reflected that, in his days at Oxford, Black culture, colonial questions and Commonwealth politics “formed an indispensable, active seam” of his intellectual enquires. Hall’s recollections situate a community of Black and Commonwealth students within the heart of British academia discussing the fate of empire and the prospects of independence. That Black intellectualism was an uncomfortable intrusion into the academy is suggested by Hall’s (2017, 158) comments on the stretched politeness he experienced at Oxford: “I was conscious all the time that I was very, very different because of my race and color. And in the discourses of Englishness, race and color remained unspeakable silences.” In this way, Britain’s most accomplished public intellectual of the 20th century started his academic career as a Rhodes Scholar. But Hall’s intellectual community of non-white Commonwealth citizens would have been met with considerable distaste by his benefactor. After all, Cecil Rhodes intended his scholarship fund to develop a cadre of leading colonists working across race and religion expressly for the “retention of the unity of the Empire” (Stead 1902, 23).

    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) Is the National Government Department Responsible for Sport in South Africa

    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national government department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans. The SRSA is established in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994. Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The SRSA aims to maximise access, development and excellence at all levels of participation in sport and recreation to improve the quality of life for all South Africans.

    HRSA Monthly Report

    HRSA Monthly Report August 2020 Stephen Worley Lightning can kill A 19 year old coach was killed and a 14 year old junior rower was injured when they were struck by lightning when sheltering under a tree in a thunderstorm. This tragedy occurred in January 2019 at Germiston, South Africa. According to Rowing South Africa:- “The regatta had closed for the day, a group of athletes together with their coach started to walk back to their hotel which was close to Germiston Lake. While walking, a very severe storm struck the area and the group sought shelter under a tree. Tragically, lightning struck the tree, fatally injuring the coach and injuring the athlete.” There is more information here and here, and a news report video here. There were two Incident Reports in August in which rowers were reported to be on the water during a lightning storm. In both cases the clubs have procedures that restrict rowing in these conditions but these appear to have been forgotten or neglected by the rowers. One report stated that the rowers “went out after the storm had started and remained out as the storm intensified to six seconds between thunder and lightning”. A subsequent comment stated that they hid under a bridge. In the other report the weather was described as being thunder and lightning and the crew was pushing off from the pontoon. A Safety Alert on Lightning has been published and is included with this report. It contains the following:- “Rowers are particularly vulnerable as they are often in wide open spaces where they are the highest thing around.
