  • At Stellenbosch University
    A HISTORY OF “KOSHUISRUGBY” AT STELLENBOSCH Isabelle E. Huys Thesis presented for the degree of Master of Sport Science at Stellenbosch University Study leader: Prof. F.J.G. van der Merwe March 2008 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. ……………………. ………………… Signature Date I Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club is the largest club in the world and the men’s residence rugby competition is a component of that Club. The purpose of this study was to document the origin, formation and activities of men’s residence rugby (koshuisrugby) at Stellenbosch University. The history of the University, the history of the Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club and a little of the history of rugby in South Africa, and particularly at Stellenbosch, are given as background information in the introduction to provide a global view. The nucleus of this study concerns the development of koshuisrugby at Stellenbosch University. An attempt has been made to reconstruct all gathered information as accurately and as thoroughly as possible. Although there is much popular writing on sport in South Africa, the supply of scientific information is minimal. Studies such as these are thus hampered by the unavailability of primary sports history information. As this study is sport-historically orientated, the historic-scientific method has been implemented. Preference has been given to primary sources of information.

  • “South Africa's 800” by Henry Katzew
    SOUTH AFRICA’S 800 The Story of South African Volunteers in Israel’s War of Birth by Henry Katzew Compiled and produced by Maurice and Marcia Ostroff from Henry Katzew’s original manuscript Edited by Joe Woolf Key to the Front Cover Top to bottom: • The famous Haganah immigrant ship S.S Exodus 1947, in which 4500 refugees were forcibly returned to Hamburg in September 1947. (See foreword & Palestine Post article page 23) • Boris Senior in a Spitfire constructed from bits and pieces. • A group of Machalniks, in the Tank Corps. • A column of the 9th Palmach, Commando Battalion. Revised and reprinted November 2003 COPYRIGHT© All rights reserved No part of this document may be reproduced by any means whatsoever, except with the prior express written permission of the South African Zionist Federation. Correspondence should be addressed to: Telfed, 19/1 Schwartz Street, Ra’anana, 43212 Israel Telephone +972 9-7446110 Fax + 972 9-7446112 E-mail: [email protected] About this book “South Africa’s 800” is about Machal, the collective Hebrew acronym for volunteers from abroad and about individual volunteers, colloquially known as Machalniks. The book reveals details never previously documented and provides a valuable new perspective on Israel’s birth and struggle for survival. It includes eye witness reports by active participants in the events. While written mainly through South African eyes, the book also contains gripping anecdotes about volunteers from the USA, Britain and other countries. It throws new light on important events and personalities of the time. In his engaging eloquent style, Henry Katzew takes the reader on a fascinating expedition through recent historical events including: • Adventures of 8 young South Africans in their ill-fated attempt to bypass British restrictions on immigration to Palestine, by travelling overland from Pretoria.

  • My Trip to South Africa (And Swaziland)
    My Trip to South Africa (and Swaziland) I first became aware of the term ‘apartheid’ after watching an episode of Saturday Night Live. It was December 13, 1975, and I was only fifteen years old. SNL was in its infancy back then, quite controversial, appealing to my teenage angst by skewering contemporary politics and culture. I loved it (and still do). On that particular night the guest host was comedian Richard Pryor. The skits were hilarious. But what I remembered most was the song ‘Johannesburg’ performed live by Gil Scott-Heron, the episode’s musical guest. The song was a protest piece in support of the struggles against apartheid, something I knew nothing about. As Gil Scott-Heron belted out his question – “What’s the word? Tell me, brother, have you heard, from Johannesburg?” – over and over again, his voice rising in an angry crescendo, I became enthralled. Suddenly, I, too, wanted to know what was going on in Johannesburg. In those pre-Internet days, though, one needed to go to the library to get information. And what I discovered was disturbing, indeed. Apartheid was the name given to an institutionalized system of racial segregation and discrimination created by the former ruling white National Party of South Africa, starting – ‘officially’, anyway – in 1948 for the purpose of maintaining their grip on power. Blacks and Coloreds (multiracial ethnic groups) were forced to live in separate neighborhoods with virtually no political or legal recourses. By the mid-seventies, the social and economic disparity between the South African races became so shockingly clear the National Party government became a pariah in the eyes of the free world.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (the Commission) found the state – and in particular its security agencies and affiliated policy and strategy formulation committees and councils – to be the primary perpetrators of gross violations of human rights committed during the thirty-four years it was mandated to investigate. 1 2 . Some 50 per cent of all amnesty applications received from members of the security forces related to incidents that occurred between 1985 and 1989. No applications were received in respect of incidents that occurred in the first decade of the Commission’s mandate and few applications were received for the pre-1985 and post-1990 periods. Despite this, evidence received by the Commission shows that the security forces were responsible for the commission of gross human rights violations during both of these periods. 3. Most of the applications were received from members of the Security Branch, both from Security Branch headquarters and from the nineteen regional Security Branch divisions.
