In view of the subsequent changes and new challenges, the editorial staff of Anvil/A ambeeld felt that it was time to give this magazine a new look. This is the last edition of Anvil/Aambeeld, but not the end of the tradition. The ideals, namely the 'open discussion', that characterized Anvil/A ambeeld for more than 30 years will continue to exist in a new form and under the new name of Discourse/Diskoers. Therefore, the numbering of future editions will simply follow on this one. This last edition of Anvil/Aambeeld takes a look at the developments and achievements in the different facets of the Rand Afrikaans University since its inception. Naturally, a comprehensive overview in the scope of a magazine such as this is impossible, but from the contributions placed here, it is obvious that the University achieved a great deal in a short period. Everyone who was and is involved in the institution can be proud of these achievements, which form a solid basis on which we can continue to build and develop the new institution with our new partners. Various former RAU rectors look back on their terms and the current rector, Prof Roux Botha, provides an image of the melting pot that facilitates the transition from the old to the new. Some contributions provide a general overview: i.e. of the macro history of RAU, the inception and uniqueness of the University and impressions about special achievements, the influence of the different rectors, and the research stimulated by the university over the years. Included are also overviews of the contributions of the different faculties, the Student Services Bureau, administration, culture and sport. The two concluding contributions look at the future. In the spirit of the acceptance of the multilingual context of the new institution, Anvil/A ambeeld is proud to take the first steps in what will hopefully become a truly multilingual magazine in the new institution. Therefore, all the contributions in this edition appear fully in English and Afrikaans.

  • Sport, Politics and Black Athletics in South Africa During the Apartheid Era Sociology Provides an Additional Dynamic Sub-Theme with Strong Contemporary Relevance
    Pieter Labuschagne Professor and Head of SPORT, POLITICS AND BLACK Department, Department ATHLETICS IN SOUTH AFRICA of Political Sciences, University of South Africa. DURING THE APARTHEID ERA: [email protected] A POLITICAL-SOCIOLOGICAL DOI: https://dx.doi.org/ PERSPECTIVE 10.18820/24150509/ JCH41.v2.5 Abstract ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) The article examines the relationship between sport and politics in Journal for South Africa from a political-sociological perspective, with a specific Contemporary History focus on the status of black athletics in apartheid South Africa. The 2016 41(2):82-104 narrower focus aims to outline how white civil society and the National © UV/UFS Party government utilised athletics as a mechanism to enforce the policy of separateness/apartheid in the South African society. In the process, white dominated political structures and centralised political processes were used to dominate and regulate black athletics in South Africa (1894-1976). The structures and dynamics of black athletics were, for more than a century, manipulated and dictated for political and related reasons. The manipulation took place in three broad identifiable periods, namely: 1884-1960 – the period of “informal” segregation, when the national body, provinces and clubs used race as a mechanism to enforce cleavages in society. The second period stretches from 1960- 1976, when the National Party adopted a more assertive direct role to enforce their sports policy. The last period, between 1976 and 1992, signified another direction change, when government stepped back and only set the broader framework for the regulation of athletics in South Africa. In each of the periods, the politics-sport power relationship will be explained in relation to the regulation of black athletics in the country.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 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 author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

  • How Mandela Inspired Pienaar and Springboks to Conquer the World We Talked About All Things and Not Just the World Cup
    18 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, June 23, 2020 Photo of the day Hamilton marches in anti-racism protest LONDON: Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton marched in the latest anti-racism protest in London on Sunday, describing the experience as “really moving”. The 35-year-old Hamilton, the only black driver in F1, joined the protests which have become com- mon since the death of George Floyd in the United States last month. “Went down to Hyde Park today for the peace- ful protest and I was so proud to see in person so many people of all races and backgrounds sup- porting this movement,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. “I was proud to be out there acknowl- edging and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, and my black heritage. “I was also happy to see so many white sup- porters out there in the name of equality for all. It was really moving. I’m feeling extremely positive that change will come, but we cannot stop now. Keep pushing.” Hamilton also posted a photograph of himself holding up a Black Lives Matter sign while his T-shirt slogan said: ‘Black is a vibe’. The six-time world champion also wore a yel- low scarf around his face. Earlier, Hamilton had penned an article for Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper in which he said he was launching his own diversity body to attract more black youngsters into motor racing, insisting the “time for token gestures is over”. Hamilton, a powerful and influential voice, said he was teaming up with Britain’s Royal Academy of Engineering to launch The Hamilton Commission.

The first recognised Test Match, between sides from Australia and England, took place in 1877 though there is record of a match between the USA and Canada in 1844. Test Matches are now spread over 5 days with each side having two innings with three results possible, a win for either side or a draw. There can be between 1 and 7 matches in one ‘Test Series’ between the same countries. Matches were not always time limited and the last ‘timeless Test’ took place between South Africa and England in Durban in 1939.
