Lyndon Julius Anthology of Lyndon Julius ANTHOLOGY OF LYNDON JULIUS ANTHOLOGY OF LYNDON JULIUS Cape Town based sports enthusiast Lyndon Julius, is an established media personality within the Western Cape sports arena. Lyndon cultivated an interest in sports and more specifically Rugby, at very young age. In later years, Lyndon’s appreciation and interest in language and media set the foundation for an inevitable fusion of these two passions. Despite not having any formal media training, Lyndon’s drive and passion allowed the self-taught journalist to rank up a wealth of published articles since 2010. Over the last five years Lyndon has also enjoyed time on local Cape Town radio stations as a guest contributor on sports shows. One of Lyndon’s strengths is his understand- ing of social media platforms and how brands benefit through strategic social interaction. Furthermore, his strong integrity and work ethics within the industry have opened many other doors, which include becoming a panel contributor on Cape Rugby TV, with JP Naude, which airs nationally on Wednesday evenings. Lyndon also fulfils the position as the Public Relations Manager at St. Georges RFC. The experience and industry network Lyndon built up soon led him to launch his own company, GamePlan Informer. This communications company provides exposure for community based sports clubs and organisations. The vision which birthed GamePlan Informer was Lyndon’s dream to create a reliable and informative sporting news source. GamePlan would be dedicated to providing communities with timeous news, updates and match reports of their favourite local community sports clubs. TIMELINE 2004 to 2007 Played senior rugby at Raithby Universals 2009 to 2010 Played senior rugby at Raithby Universals Assistant secretary at Raithby Universals 2011 Under 20 Head coach at St Georges RFC 2012 to 2013 First forward coach at St Georges RFC 2014 to present PR manager of St Georges RFC DISTRICT MAIL 28 AUGUST 2014 Helderberg clubs dominate Super League B With the Super League B nearing its final week, it’s great to see the two top log positions occupied by Helderberg based rugby clubs, namely Sir Lowrians (at number one) and St. Georges (number two). They currently dominate the log standings with 56 and 54 points respectively. This Saturday sees The Navy Train travelling to Brookside, Claremont to face the third placed Villager. A few weeks ago, St. Georges celebrated their historic victory over Villager, at a match which saw Sir Lowrians and Macassar executive members, players, coaches and support- ers all rooting for the Lulu Boys. These clubs have been competing against each other throughout the 2013 and 2014 club rugby seasons. Following the Lulu victory, Sir Lowrian’s president, John Brits ran onto the field to congratulate the St. Georges club with their momentous feat. Villager have been dominating the Super League B throughout the season, going on a 10-week unbeaten streak. This record was, however, ended by St. Georges. This victory also sparked the hopes of St. Georges, who would have fancied their chances of finishing third, prior to this match. The 17-21 score-line opened up the race, as it heated up, for the top two automatic promotions to Super League A. The following week Villager travelled to Mamre to face Hamlets, and this was to be yet another daunting task, Villager losing their second game in the same number of weeks. This defeat opened up St. Georges’ road to an automatic promotional spot finish. The Lulu Boys, however, needed to pick up five points in their final league match, away against Scottsdene, an outing which in 2013 was not a successful one. This time they thrashed Scottsdene, 15-64 and picked up the much needed five log points. Sir Lowrians, having lost only one match, against Kraaifontein, were league champion favorites following the Hamlets victory over Villager. The Navy Train will want to emulate their neighboring club and in doing so, will be crowned Super League B champions and ensure that the current log standings remain. St. Georges will descend upon Brookside (in Maroon of course) in support of The Navy Train, victory for Sir Lowrians will not only be celebrated by John Brits and company, but The Lulu Boys will welcome not having to play either Kuils River or Bellville RFC for a play-off match. A situation has yet to be manifested in club rugby following unification, where two teams from the same region, competing from more or less the same pool of players, unite as one for 80 minutes. LYNDON JULIUS DISTRICT MAIL 04 SEPTEMBER 2014 Title slips past Navy Train While the Sir Lowrians narrowly missed being crowned champions of the WP Super League B on Saturday, the local team is now through to the Super League A. The “Navy Train” was placed second on the log after a 25-23 defeat by Villager at Brookside, and as second-place winners are through to the WP Super League A. Three sec- ond-half tries gained a strong Villager team the coveted Super League B title. Sir Lowrians made their intentions clear from the start, with powerful runs from veteran lock Alfonso Puller and prop Leon Samuel Djeukou. Former WP flyhalf Earl Rose served up quality ball and set up numerous phases for the first 10 minutes of the match. Villager were first to score, though, when winger Blane Hansen went over the Sir Lowrians line; conversion missed (5-0). WP Disa prop forward Rhyn Germishuys exploited space to keep Villagers within striking distance of Sir Lowrians. Djeukou and Fuller set up phase upon phase, allowing Rose to slot an easy penalty, (5-3). The home side kept possession, with Sir Lowrians dominating the territory. The Navy Train played at pace, with telling runs from former WP Currie Cup inside centre Burton Klaasen. Rose then added a second penalty, regaining the lead for his side (5-6). The Villager forwards could not contain a visitors’ driving maul from a line-out and Edward Makhundayi romped over for a try, converted by Rose, (5-13). Villager then slotted their first penalty, courtesy of left-winger Neil du Toit (8-13). Sir Lowrians had dominated territory and possession in the first half, but ten minutes into the second half, Villager scored a try by Germishuys. Du Toit converted, (15-13) to put the home-side into the lead. Rose kicked another penalty (15-16). Villager responded almost immediately, with inside centre Geoff Van Ryneveldt darting over for his side’s third unconverted try, (20-16). Former Bok scrumhalf Bolla Conradie, came on with 20 minutes left to replace Jacques Coetzee. Conradie dictated the game and ensured his side got over the Villager advantage line. With 18 minutes left, Sir Lowrians attacked again, with another driving maul from a line-out five metres from the Villager try-line. This position gave them the edge over the Villager forwards. The brilliance and guidance of veteran lock stalwart Charl Pretorius ensured that they dominated the maul. Pretorius has now played his last match for The Navy Train, after six seasons at Sir Lowrians. Through numerous attacks and phases set up by Sir Lowrians forwards, a line-out was once again set metres from the Villager try-line; Makhundayi went over for his second try. Rose then kicked a difficult conversion and the Navy Train regained the lead with 10 minutes to go in the match (20-23). The Villager crowd’s chants were now blaring over the Victorian styled brookside complex. Then, with four minutes to go, Villager right-winger Hansen scored the all-important try. This passage of play will be remembered for the clever tactical grubber kick from prop Germishuys, chased and dotted down by Hansen; du Toit missed the conversion, (25-23). Sir Lowrians had a last glimmer of hope when they gained possession from the restart but Villager regained possession and decided attack would be the best defence. The villager back line tested the Sir Lowrians defence, but the Navy Train stood firm and held their ground, eventually managing a turnover in injury time. Meters from their try-line and with time running out, Sir Lowrians were forced to run the ball. The Villager defence stood firm and held up against the Navy Train onslaught, eventually forcing a touch-down behind the line. The referee then blew the end of the match and also the end of a brilliant season for both sides. LYNDON JULIUS DISTRICT MAIL 11 SEPTEMBER 2014 MC Boys in Top 8 semi-final Macassar defeated rivals young Peoples 27-22 in their thrilling President’s Cup Top 8 com-petition clash at Brookside on Saturday. The victory sees the “MC boys” progressing to the semi-finals next week when they chal-lenge Collegians. Macassar RFC ended in 11th place on the final super League B log, plac-ing them in the Top 8 competition. Clubs in position one to six will play in the Presidents Cup Top 6 competition, and those in position seven to 14 will play in the President’s Cup Top 8 competition, which is the competition Macassar RFC is competing in. Macassar made their intentions clear and set up numerous phases with telling runs from veteran eighth-man Werner Williams. Flyhalf Garth de Bruin set up his forwards, dictating his midfield with ease and so much composure. It was however the Paarl outfit that drew first blood with a try from left winger Gillmore Adams. Young Peoples almost immediately replied with another from flank-forward Hillroy Baad-jies. Both tries were unconverted, 10-0 to Peoples. Sevens sensation Enver Eyman made sure he complemented Williams with brilliant positional play, allowing Williams to offload at the right time, putting Eyman through the gap with ease.

  • A Case-Based Analysis of the Implementation of Transformation in Western Cape Rugby
    A case-based analysis of the implementation of transformation in Western Cape rugby by Evan Dean Cupido Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Political Science) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr. Ubanesia Adams-Jack March 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. November 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Rugby in South Africa has a long racial and political history. This history was a direct result of the policy of apartheid in which a deliberate attempt was made to arrange all areas of life along racial lines. One saw rugby being played and administered on the basis of race in which disparities between races became apparent. Twenty years into democracy and one has seen transformation in South African sport been increasingly prioritized by national government in which numerous policies have been developed to bring about redress and equity in sport. The South African Rugby Union (SARU) and Provincial Rugby Unions in their attempt to transform rugby have implemented numerous strategic plans to ensure greater access to the game in historically disadvantaged areas.

  • C.Kriel 2010 Rubgy, Race and Rhetoric
    Rugby, race, and rhetoric: A thematic content analysis of constructions of race in the South African newspaper media in relation to South African rugby Student : Chris Kriel Supervisor : Prof.Norman Duncan This research report is submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research Psychology). University of the Witwatersrand, 2010. i ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the newspaper media’s constructions of blackness and whiteness as contained in a set of 84 articles published by the Independent Media Group in the same month (June) over four years (2005 to 2008). The data was collected using the Independent Media Online database. Various search strings were used and the final data set was drawn from an original sample of over 50 000 articles. The final set of 84 articles was examined using a thematic content analysis of the broad trends in relation to the constructions of blackness and whiteness in relation to black players specifically. This analysis revealed negative constructions of blackness such as black players being described as weak, lazy, and inherently lacking the skills, abilities and attributes to represent South Africa at a national level. The concurrent positive portrayal of whiteness results in white players being constructed as trustworthy, capable, meritorious and above all innately capable of playing rugby at an international level. Examples of black and white exceptionalism support the earlier findings regarding blackness and whiteness but take them further by examining examples that don’t fit the typical construction of race presented earlier.
