For instance, if a train from East London hits a cow early in January, damaging the locomotive, a 17-coach express heading for the coast with anything up to 1,200 passengers on-board won’t be able to get past. If the passenger train has already spent five hours in a heatwave at Burgersdorp, standing face-to-face with another train in the middle of nowhere, it will have run out of water and the toilets will be overflowing. Not all that far away, Murphy seems to have had his hands full, with a train from Port Elizabeth that was Photographed this in the municipal transport supposed to take 20 hours to Johannesburg. It was workshops at Seattle. battling with binding brakes, overflowing toilets and no water. In the end it was to take 33 hours to complete its journey. Attempts to contact Shosholoza Meyl offices were unsuccessful. Nobody answered (Murphy again). The train manager said there was nothing she could do. Eastern Cape area operations manager for Shosholoza Meyl, Nosipho Mancotywa wasn't aware of any complaints regarding the lack of water but she confirmed the lengthy delays with News24. Mancotywa said the signals were not working at Cradock because the electricity was off. Murphy can be a real devil where electricity is involved and he is a dab hand with cockroaches.

The FIFA World Cup, Human Rights Goals and the Gulf Between Richard Peltz-Steele Abstract With Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 on the horizon, the process for selecting hosts for the World Cup of men’s football has been plagued by charges of corruption and human rights abuses. FIFA celebrated key developing economies with South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014. But amid the aftermath of the global financial crisis, those sitings surfaced grave and persistent criticism of the social and economic efficacy of sporting mega-events. Meanwhile new norms emerged in global governance, embodied in instruments such as the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Sustainable Development Goals. These norms posit that commercial aims can be harmonized with socioeconomic good. FIFA seized on the chance to restore public confidence and recommit itself to human exultation in sport, adopting sustainability strategies and engaging the architect of the UNGP to develop a human rights policy.

  • Living History – the Story of Adderley Street's Flower
    LIVING HISTORY – THE STORY OF ADDERLEY STREET’S FLOWER SELLERS Lizette Rabe Department of Journalism, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7602 Lewende geskiedenis – die verhaal van Adderleystraat se blommeverkopers Kaapstad is waarskynlik sinoniem met Tafelberg. Maar een van die letterlik kleurryke tonele aan die voet van dié berg is waarskynlik eweneens sinoniem met die stad: Adderleystraat se “beroemde” blommeverkopers. Tog word hulle al minder, hoewel hulle deel van Kaapstad se lewende geskiedenis is en letterlik tot die Moederstad se kleurryke lewe bygedra het en ’n toerismebaken is. Waar kom hulle vandaan, en belangrik, wat is hulle toekoms? Dié beskrywende artikel binne die paradigma van mikrogeskiedenis is sover bekend ’n eerste sosiaal-wetenskaplike verkenning van die geskiedenis van dié unieke groep Kapenaars, die oorsprong van die blommemark en sy kleurryke blommenalatenskap. Sleutelwoorde: Adderleystraat; blommemark; blommeverkopers; Kaapstad; kultuurgeskiedenis; snyblomme; toerisme; veldblomme. Cape Town is probably synonymous with Table Mountain. But one of the colourful scenes at the foot of the mountain may also be described as synonymous with the city: Adderley Street’s “famous” fl ower market. Yet, although the fl ower sellers are part of Cape Town’s living history, a beacon for tourists, and literally contributes to the Mother City’s vibrant and colourful life, they represent a dying breed. Where do they come from, and more importantly, what is their future? This descriptive article within the paradigm of microhistory is, thus far known, a fi rst social scientifi c exploration of the history of this unique group of Capetonians, the origins of the fl ower market, and its fl ower legacy.

  • The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: a Look Back: Perceptions of Its Impact on Tourism in South Africa
    International Review of Management and Marketing ISSN: 2146-4405 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Review of Management and Marketing, 2021, 11(4), 49-58. The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: A Look Back: Perceptions of its Impact on Tourism in South Africa Tinashe Chuchu* School of Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. *Email: [email protected] Received: 06 May 2021 Accepted: 08 July 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/irmm.11593 ABSTRACT Africa’s first FIFA World Cup sparked a series of scholarly work mostly conducted prior to this event. This phenomena is still relevant today with many unanswered questions. This research therefore investigates and examines literature on how the 2010 FIFA World Cup is perceived almost a decade later. A qualitative approach was adopted based on secondary data sources and grey literature. Contextual information was gathered from popular data bases that include Science direct, Ebsco host, Emerald and Google scholar. A total of 20 studies on both tourism in South Africa and the 2010 FIFA World Cup published between 2004 and 2019 were examined and systematically presented and discussed. Recurring trends based on review of literature were identified. The destination image theory and the destination concept were used to comprehend international visitors’ attitudes and their interpretation of South Africa as a travel destination. One of key findings was that the crime in South Africa, before, during after the World Cup ranks highest in terms of tourism deterrence. However, the event was generally perceived positive as a fairly positive success with room for socio-economic improvement.
