AERONAUTICS South Africa is a member of the International Aeronautic Federation (FAI) which caters for Hang-gliding, gliding and parachuting. The 1977 hang-gliding championships scheduled for South Africa were cancelled because several countries refus'ed to participate. South Africa took part in the World Gliding Championships at Chateauroux, France, in October 1978. South Africa has been barred from the International Hang-gliding and Parachuting championships from competing in France during August of this year. The French Government put pressure on the organisers. Federation Aeronaituque Internationale to exclude South Africans. The Evening Post - 4/7/79 reported that the eight-man team Trek, won the six-jump sequential event at the South African National Skydiving championships at King Williamstown to becoine the Springbok team to travel to France la ter this year. There is no National Non-racial organisation catering for th is sport. ANGLING & FISHING South Africa is a suspended member of the Club International de Peche Sportive (CIPS). There are various angling and “V ^ fishing organisations which allow South Africa to Participate. The former Minister of Sport and Recreation announced in Parliament on 4 April 1978 that the following Angling and Fishing organisations are members of International Associations:- SA Target Casting Association: SA Light Tackle Boat Anglers Association: SA Rock & Surf Angling Association: SA Ski Boat Angling Association: Game Fish Associatio’n of SA: SA Fresh Water Anglers Union: and SA Casting Association. Three Springbok Anglers, Brain Peterson and Ray Preen of Natal, and Piet Roodt of Transvaal, took part in the World ski-boat angling championships at Caracas, Venezuela. A Sprinabok Fresh water Angling team le ft South Africa during August 1979 to part- icipate^in international fixtures in Switzerland and Austria. They will also participate in the World Fresh water-Angling championships to be held in Spain. At the same time Mr.Johan Fourie, Chairman of the South African Freshwater - Angling Association announced that a Swiss team would tour South Africa during October 1979. Their itin erary includes two internationals against a "white" South African side. In May 1978 during a club competition of the M ulti-racial Western Angling Union held at Betty.'s Bay, Cape, a beach reserved for "white bathers" only, members of the "coloured"tean were questioned about th eir presence on the beach by the police. The presence of the police was prompted by a complaint received from a resident of Betty's Bay (a elite holiday resort for "whites") who spotted the "coloured" Anglers of the Vikings club on the rocks through his binoculars. No action was taken against the Anglers as it was subsequently found that no regulations. Municipal or Provincial, prevented Anglers from angling on any beach unless sign posts re s tric t­ ing angling to particular "racial groups" were posted on the beach. Springbok Anglers, Andre Booysen, Ian Reid and Mike Schultz and captain Dick de V illie r s , took part in the P acific championships at Kailua Kona, Hawaii from July 23 to 27, 1979. Following our la st Biennial General Meeting attempts were made to communicate with o ffic ia ls of Angling Associations to form a National Non-racial Association and the South African Angling Federation is expected to do so. The provincial unit is affiliated to the Western Province Council of Sport. _________ ARCHERY F The South African National Archery Assoication in its application F A to the World Body stated that it s membership was open to a ll and that i t does not practise discrimination. Notwithstanding our representations at the FITA meeting the South African National Archery Association was admitted as a member when 26 countries voted in its favour and 20 against. Mr.Samba Ramsamy attended the meeting at B erlin , Germany on the 16 Ju ly, 1979 at which the several countries supporting Mr.Ramsamy opposed the admission of South A frica. The USSR, China, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania and Mongolia, Ireland,. India, Finland, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Morocca and Mexico, among others, not only opposed South A frica's entry but withdrew from participating in the current annual event. Our request for a l i s t of it s c«ubs brought no response from the South African Nat­ ional Archery Assoication. We do not have a national non-racial organisation. ATHLETICS South Africa,expelled from the International Amateur Athletic Fed­ eration (AAF) on 22 Ju ly, 1976 at it s Congress in Montreal, Canada, made another bid to a f f ilia t e to the World Body but it s application was rejected. Professor Nieuwoudt, the President of the SA Athletic Union commenting on the lAAF's decision said that it was really a politic meeting and not an athletic one. He also added that far more time is spent discussing p o litics than the matter of a th le tics. We would like to ask the Professor ju st how much time he spends on non-racial athletics in this country? There was no comment from the same l^rofessor when six black run­ ners, participating in a so-called "mixed sports event" were banned from competing at the Randfontein's Verwoerd Stadium on 31/5/1978. Another Black, Methews Batswadi, who was given the Springbok Colours was assaulted at the Currie Cup Final between Orange Free State and Nothern Transvaal at the OFS Stadium on September 30, 1978 - a ll because he used a TOILET for whites ! 35 The Krugersdorp Town Council stated that i t had received a d irective from the Depart­ ment of Sport and Recreation to segregate the seating and facilities of spectators and athletes. It used a rope to separate the black spectators from the white. Sunday Express - 12/11/1978. The non-racial Vice President of the Amateur Athletic Association of Natal, Mr.Dhanpal Naidoo timeously c riticise d Mr.Norman Hosken, chief of the rival body when Mr.Naidoo discounted the statements made by Mr.Hosken to the effect that ath letics were conducted on a non-racial basis. The National non-racial SA Amateur Athletic Board continues with its annual events in the different provinces at venues hardly the type for national events. Two of it s strongest units are the Western Province and the Boland Amateur Athletic Associations.

  • 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.
