A Case Study of South Africa Sport and the Making of World Cities: A Case Study of South Africa by Lisa Danielle Plenderleith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Lisa Danielle Plenderleith 2013 Sport and the Making of World Cities: A Case Study of South Africa Lisa Danielle Plenderleith Master of Arts Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis explores two distinctive ways in which sport is deployed as a development strategy in South Africa, and specifically considers how sport may play a role in the configuration of the nation’s cities. First, a case study of the sporting mega-event, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, is presented. It is posited that this tournament was a speculative world-making strategy aimed at elevating host cities and the nation to world-class status. Second, a discourse analysis of South African policy documents regarding the reintroduction of physical education is performed. It is argued that despite the fundamental neoliberal elements of physical education, there is a possibility that if the government maximizes certain opportunities, it could be a way of forging ordinary cities that are based upon equitable access to sport for South African children. These assessments suggest that sport can play a role in both the spatial and symbolic development of cities. ii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my namesake, my ultimate inspiration, my guidepost, and my very best friend. Thanks for everything you do, Mom. I love you. iii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank the Graduate Department of Geography at the University of Toronto for the opportunity to study at one of the foremost educational institutions in the world, and for providing me with unparalleled administrative and financial support over the course of the past year. Thank you to my faculty supervisor, Dr. Rajyashree Narayanareddy, for the guidance and support she offered in helping me navigate my way through the graduate school experience and this thesis project. I would also like to thank both Dr. Thembela Kepe and Dr. Mark Hunter for serving on my thesis committee, and for the unique scholarly insight they provided on my project. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Maureen Hays-Mitchell at Colgate University for igniting my fascination with geography during my four years in Hamilton, and for pushing me to explore the multitude of ways in which I could combine my passions for sport and scholarship. Dr. Hays-Mitchell was the one who encouraged me to apply to graduate school in the first place, and I likely would not be here if not for MHM’s valuable advice and guidance. Also, thank you to two of the very best professors I have ever had the privilege of working with, Dr. Mary Simonson and Dr. Suzanne Spring at Colgate University. I am thankful to these wonderful women for serving as references on my MA application, and for helping me develop my research, writing, and critical thinking skills during my time at Colgate. Last, but certainly not least, I am so very grateful to my family and friends for all of their support and encouragement during the past year, and always. Thank you to my Mom and Dad for always providing me with endless love, steadfast faith, and the means to achieve my goals. Thank you to my sister, Alexa, for making always me laugh. Thanks to Booboo for keeping me company while I wrote for hours at a time. Thank you to my Grandma Lil (and Sully, of course) for helping to keep me on track – it’s finally done! Also, thank you to Debbie (and Pete and Peter), Tim (and Lauren and Connor), Steve, and Susie. Thanks to my friends, near and far, for checking in every so often to see how it was going; your thoughtfulness never failed to make me smile. In particular, thank you to one of my best friends, Jacquie Colborne, for the almost-daily text messages; it was great sharing in the graduate school experience with you, despite the nearly 4,500km between our respective schools. All of those mentioned above have played some role – big or small – in the completion of this project. So once again, from the very bottom of my heart: thank you. iv Table of Contents !"#$%&'$()*++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*$$$! ,%-)(./"#01")'2*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*$3! 4&5/"*(6*7()'")'2*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*3! 78&9'":*;*<)':(#=%'$()*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*;! ;+;+! >3":3$".*(6*48"2$2*?"2"&:%8*+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*;! ;+@+!

December 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Historical research frequently requires investigations that have ethical dimensions. Although not to the same extent as in medical experimentation, for example, the social sciences do entail addressing ethical considerations. This research is conducted at the University of Stellenbosch and, as such, must be managed according to the institution’s Framework Policy for the Assurance and Promotion of Ethically Accountable Research at Stellenbosch University. The policy stipulates that all accumulated data must be used for academic purposes exclusively. This study relies on social sources and ensures that the university’s policy on the values and principles of non-maleficence, scientific validity and integrity is followed. All participating oral sources were informed on the objectives of the study, the nature of the interviews (such as the use of a tape recorder) and the relevance of their involvement.

Robins December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://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. December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The official custodian of the Cape Peninsula mountain chain, located at the centre of Cape Town, is the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). This park is South Africa’s only urban open-access park and has been declared a World Heritage Site. This thesis is an anthropological and historical examination of the past and present conservation of the Cape Peninsula . I provide an overview of the relationship between the urban environment and the Cape Peninsula aiming to illustrate the produced character of the mountains and its mediation in power relations. This study of custodianship reveals that protecting and conserving the Cape Peninsula is shaped by the politics of the urban and natural environment as well as by the experience of living in the city.

  • The Impossible Concept: Settler Liberalism, Pan-Africanism, and the Language of Non-Racialism*
    THE IMPOSSIBLE CONCEPT: SETTLER LIBERALISM, PAN-AFRICANISM, AND THE LANGUAGE OF NON-RACIALISM* Jon Soske Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University and Centre for Indian Studies in Africa University of the Witwatersrand [email protected] ABSTRACT This article traces the history of four words: ‘non-racial’, ‘non-racialism’, ‘multi- racial’, and ‘multi-racialism’. Its main concern is to identify when and how these terms developed a role within British colonial and South African political discourse. At the end of the 1950s, the struggles within the anti-apartheid movement became entangled with a broader discussion across southern and eastern Africa regarding democracy, nationalism, and political representation. In clarifying the signifcance of this moment, this article reconstructs the earlier history of ‘multi- racial democracy’ from its formulation in South African liberal circles in the 1930s to its incorporation into British colonial policy following the Second World War. It then traces the divergent conceptualisations of non-racialism and African nationalism that developed in response to multi-racial democracy. It concludes that African National Congress (ANC) leaders adopted the language of non-racial democracy in a reactive fashion after the 1958 Africanist split in order to clarify the organisation’s position on group rights.

    UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE MASTER’S THESIS Name of Candidate: Mohammed Luqmaan Kagee Student Number: 3559065 Proposed Degree: Master of Arts in Islamic Studies Department: Religion & Theology Programme: Humanities & Food Security Title of Thesis: The Implementation of Islamic Perspectives on Nutrition in the Context of Muslim Faith-Based Organisations in Cape Town Supervisor: Dr. Mustapha Saidi Co-supervisor: Prof. Ernst Conradie Date: November 2017 Dedication This Master’s thesis is dedicated to my revered spiritual mentor, Mohamed Saied Soofie (d. 2016) who was the custodian of the main spiritual Ṣūfī hospice established by Soofie Saheb, in Riverside, Durban. This thesis is further dedicated to my teacher, Masood Ahmed Kagee (d. 2017), who taught me the holy Qur’ān. They imparted values of sincerity, benevolence and conviction. http://etd.uwc.ac.za Abstract South African debates on food security address a wide range of issues related to the production, the distribution and the consumption of food in the context of deep concerns over the impact of poverty, unemployment and inequality. One aspect of such debates is on the need for nutritious food amidst hunger, malnutrition, obesity and the prevalence of diabetes. This study will investigate the Islamic theological injunctions and guidelines that govern the production, the different facets of distribution and the consumption of food in Muslim communities. There are numerous theological injunctions from the Qur’ān and prophetic traditions (Ḥadīth) guiding the Muslim community in relation to food security. These include injunctions around the need to provide nutritious food. The study will assess the programmes of five Muslim faith-based organisations in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area, working in the field of food security and more specifically, feeding schemes.
