Structure in This Country. Secondly, the Structure We Have Created, Based As It Is on the Non-Racial Principle, Is the Only structure in this country. Secondly, the structure we have created, based as it is on the non-racial principle, is the only one which conforms in all respects to the basic conditions that the international sports fraternity demands. Third­ ly, we are the only tennis controlling body that can and will be part of sport as an institution of the non-racial society that will come into being after apartheid". AFFILIATES The Tennis Association of South African has the following affiliates: Boland Central Orange Free State Eastern Province Eastern Transvaal Far Northern Transvaal, Griqualand West, North Central Orange Free State, Northern Natal Northern T ransvaal Services (Transkei) South Eastern Transvaal Southern Natal South Western Districts South Western Transvaal Stellaland Victoria East Western T ransvaal Western Province ASSOCIATE MEMBERS S A Primary Schools Sports Association S A Senior Schools Sports Association S A Tertiary Institutions Sports Association OFFICIALS President: Adam Fortuin (Wellington) Vice President; Stanley Gumede (Germiston) General Secretary : Colin Clarke (Cape Town) Ass.

Winners Boland The 1988 Tournament was held in Bellvilie, Cape Town and hosted by Western Province Tennis Union. Winners Western Province. The only National junior competition is the Coca-Coia Masters. Sponsored by Coca-Cola for the past ten years. The 1987 Coke Masters was held at the Jeevan Kara Tennis Centre, Durban and hosted by Southern Natai Tennis Union. The 1988 Coke Masters was played in Lebowakgomo, near Pietersburg and hosted by Far Northern Transvaal Tennis Association. In 1989 TASA is planning to organise an Inter-Provincial Tournament for the juniors. AT the Provincial level, several Open Tournaments were held annually, name­ ly, the Transvaal Open, Southern (Sugar) Open, Eastern Province Open, Boland Open, Western Province Open and the Far Northern Transvaal Open, OTHER ACTIVITIES During the past two years, two General Meetings and Councillor’s Meetings were held. TheSthAGM ofTASAwasheldattheBSI Hall. Batho, Bloemfontein, on January 1, 1988. The 5th BGM ofTASAwas held at the Peninsula Technicon, Bellville on January 1, 1989. A Councillor’s meeting was held in Durban on April 19,1987 and in Actonville, Benoni on March 13, 1988. All the meetings were well attended and very constructive. During the past two years, TASA officials travelled to various parts of the country to assist existing affiliates sort out domestic problems and to new areas to extend our membersnip. In 1987, after receiving a RIO 000 sponsorship from Dunlop, TASA successful­ ly completed its fist National Coaching Clinic. This Dunlop Coaching Clinic was held in Paarl from May 28 to June 1 and hosted by Boland Tennis Union. All but two of our affiliates - Central CFS and South Western Districts - were represented. A total of 32 coaches participated in the beginner’s course run by David Samaai (Boland) Cavan Bergman (South Western Transvaal) and David Isaacs (Western Province). In 1988 the second Dunlop Coaching Clinic was held in Durban. It was hosted by Southern Natal Tennis Union. Twelve affiliates participated in the event. Coaches who had done the beginners course, successfully completed an in­ termediate course and a new intake of coaches completed the beginners course. Mr A E Fortuin, the TASA President, has remarked that "this training course is, without doubt, one of the greatest and most important of our various achieve­ ments during the years. This is the unanimous opinion of all those who were fortunate to be part of it." During the last Easter weekend, TASA successfully participated in the most colourful and massive SACOS Sports Festival. Eight men and eight women participated in a Round Robin tournament. Sadly due to rainy weather on the last day, the finals could no be completed. SACOS medals were awarded by the President of SACOS to the following: Men: M Winlock (Boland), H Mohamedy (Southern Natal), E Petersen (Western Province), J Klaasen (Western Province). Women: V Du Plessis (Boland), J van Staade (South Eastern Transvaal), B Accom (Western Province), S Essop (Boland) TASA salutes SAGOS for organising the Festival. Two outstanding TASA players, Hussain Mohamedy (Southern Natal) and Vera du Plessis (Boland) were chosen to represent TASA in 1987 and 1988 respec­ tively, in the SAGOS Sportsperson of the Year event. While neither were for­ tunate to be chosen for this top honour, we remain proud of their dedication to TASA and its principles. Two seasons ago, a TASA newsletter was prepared by the Secretariat, Unfor­ tunately, the response of the affiliates to the newsletter was not positive as promised. However, at the recent BGM it was agreed to revive the idea of the newsletter. SPONSORSHIP Nationally, we have two sponsored events annually, the Junior Masters and the Goacnes Gourse. The Junior Masters has been sponsored by Caqa-Gola for the past ten years. Iji 1987 the sponsorship amounte<fto R245 000 and last year it was increased to R265 000^ This amount, unfortunately, does not cover the complete expenses for the Goke Masters. Affiliates are given a subsidy towards travelling costs. However, we are grateful to Goca-Cola for this spon­ sorship. Our juniors have come a long way with the assistance of their spon­ sorship. The other sponsorship is from Dunlop who in 1987 were prepared to give us R12 000 for any event. TASA decided to utilise the funds on a Coaches course. This amount was increased to R14 000 in 1988 and we are in the process of negotiating for further sponsorship for 1989. In 1987 TASA made several approaches to multi-national companies for spon­ sorship but all responses were negative. In 1989 renewed efforts to ensure sponsorship are going to be made to companies. For our affiliates at provincial level, like all other affiliates of SAGOS the lack of meaningful sponsorship is even a bigger problem. Affiliates have survived on the generosity of local businessmen and professional people; and the sheer dedication of officials and players to uphold their beliefs at their own costs. Only two of our affiliates have been successful in getting some sort of sppn- sorship. For the past two years. South Eastern Transvaal Tennis Association has been receiving sponsorship from EIMCO Mining and Machinery Company based in Elandsfontein on the East Rand. The other affiliate, Southern Natal Tennis Union has, for the past few years, been receiving sponsorship from the Sugar Association of South Africa. Sadly this sponsorship has been terminated for 1989. During the past few years, splinter racial tennis bodies which have mush­ roomed around the country, notably around Soweto and the Reef townships, have attempted to lure our membership through handouts such as tracksuits, equipment, coaching and so on. Some of them who were lured for monetary principles are either now just playing casual tennis or have just given up the game. The endless increases in transport costs, equipment and accommodation are making the hosting of tournaments very difficult. To break down the racial bar­ riers created by the monstrous apartheid and to spread the game in the op­ pressed township ghettos, funds are definitely needed. In some townships, tennis facilities are non-existent. TASA has come a long way since 1979 but the challenge and dedication in the next decade and for a new society in a new South Africa is everi greater. Sport can never be non-racial until the basic structure of the society in which we live and play our sport is changed. The Inlernalional Tennis Federation No. 10 August 1988 South Africa It has been no secret that for some time the ITF has been under increasing pressure, especially from the Olympic movement, to make abundantly clear to all our total opposition to apartheid in any form, in any country.

  • 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 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.
