The 1981 Springbok Tour
Resource 8: (The History of South African Rugby) In fact Rugby dominated the non-white sports scene in places like the Cape colony and the Eastern Cape in particular through to the late 1960s but rugby organisation (Western province coloured rugby union was founded in 1886 and the South African Coloured Rugby Board (SACRB) was founded in 1896) and teams were kept segregated with discrimination against black and coloured players and little government funding. In 1919 New Zealand toured South Africa, however, the SARFB stipulated that no players with Maori blood should be included in the side. An All Black of West Indian extraction, Ranji Wilson, was sent home as a result. The Springboks themselves went on tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1921. There were three tests played against New Zealand with NZ winning the first, SA winning the second and the forth drawn to tie the series. The All Blacks returned in 1928 and once again the series was drawn and once again the Maoris were left behind. In fact they were left out of the 1949 and 1960 sides too but objections were beginning to grow. After the 1981 Springbok tour of New Zealand, South Africa was banned by the International Rugby Board from international competition until such time as apartheid ended

Resource 9: (Hadlee, 1982)

the West Indies Board of Control advised the New Zealand Cricket Council that their team would not be welcome in 1982 - not for cricket reasons, but because a rugby tour by a multi-racial team of South Africans was taking place in New Zealand.

    How Does Cricket Affect Australian Society

    Cricket has enjoyed a formal, popular presence on the Australian sporting landscape for far longer than any other sport. However why are so few Indigenous Australian players represented among the historic and contemporary figures that drive the key plotlines in the nation's cricket story? These members changed how the world see cricket which was seen originally as a “white men’s sport” not so long ago .…

    Jackie Robinson Segregation

    During the early 1900’s segregation was a huge problem. Even the simplest things including sports were separated. One account of the segregation is “ As Jim Crow grew in strength, however, American beliefs about black and white athletes playing together shifted towards further separation” (Heaphy 11). This quote gives a statement on how people were wanting segregation in sports. The Negro Leagues were be created in 1920 and consisted of African Americans only. There wasn’t a single African in the MLB at this time. Like I previously said, the-Major League Baseball was for white men only. During baseball season which was a huge thing to do in the 1900’s, it was almost a sin for a black man to even be at a white baseball game. One problem was the K.K.K going to the baseball fields and hanging any black man, woman, or child for being there. A more horrifying statement is, “Once at a baseball game, I seen a black man and his family get hung and burned by members of the Klu Klux Klan” (Nelson 3). This quote shows how separated sb ome people wanted their lives to be and how ruthless they would be to make it come true. So for vigorous reasons, they were…

    Comparing The Jim Crow Laws And Apartheid In The United States

    Despite laws in place to prevent racism arising again in South Africa many of the people still have long held internal prejudices that lead to discrimination (Harris, 2016). Apartheid allowed the white minority population of South Africa to be completely dominant over the black African population, including, but not limited to; the ability to uproot and move South Africans from their homes, complete segregation, making interracial marriage illegal, and not allowing different races to live together. These government sanctioned discriminatory practices were protested by South Africans, most notably Nelson Mandela, a leader in the anti-apartheid movement. Despite cover-up attempts by the “Club of 10”, eventually the South African government began to face consequences for their violations of human rights (Harris, 2016). South Africa was “…expelled from the United Nations in 1974, the Olympic Games in 1976, and in 1986, the U.S. Congress banned new investment by U.S. companies in South Africa” (Harris, 2016).…

    Playing the Enemy

    In the novel Playing the Enemy, John Carlin describes the 1995 Rugby World Cup and its important role in post-apartheid South Africa. While it may seem like John Carlin is only writing about South Africa’s victory in the 1995 Rugby World cup, he is also writing about the political victory in South Africa. Because of Nelson Mandela, Rugby no longer divided races in South Africa, but it united them. Throughout South African history the Springboks represented apartheid which led to many black Africans wanting to get rid of the Springboks. However, Nelson Mandela showed his support for the Springboks, thus pleasing the white majority while gaining the support of blacks. As the first black president of South Africa, many would expect him to bring power back to the blacks. However, I believed Mandela saw uniting the races as a far more important issue.…

    Deadly Unna and Australian rules comparative essay

    One of the assumptions that amongst Australians is that we live in an egalitarian society. However, this ‘rule’ is evidently ironic in many situations both in the novel and the film especially in the context of sport. The novel shows that there are divisions in the team. This is shown when Blacky describes how the Nungas (term for Aboriginal people) played football: “They zigzag the ball across the field, they kick backwards, they handball it over their heads, they go on wild, bouncing runs. When the Nungas played like this, by their rules, we just stopped and watched. They never gave the ball to us – we weren’t part of it, we didn’t understand.” This shows that there is a division in the team between Aboriginal and white players, which emphasizes the racial separation. However, the film shows the…

    The Removal Of The European During The 1700s

    During the 1700s the Europeans traveled to Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud, and met the Māori who then traded and taught them their ways. The Europeans arrived in 1769 when captain Cook arrived in New Zealand and spoke to the Māori. This essay will argue that the arrival of the Europeans had a negative effect. The Māori population almost halved because of the Europeans.…

    Saturday night, the nation is huddled around the television the computer or any electronic device they can get their hands on. As the national anthem plays 23 men all clad in black stand proudly while another 23 dressed in yellow stand silently just metres apart, the silence is broken as wild cheers go up as the men in black start the Haka as their opponents stand with expressionless faces. Similar scenes are happening on the channel over but these men are dresses in white the silver fern still adorns their chest, the captains come to together and flip a coin and there's silent anticipated as he taps his bat on the ground and steps up to the crease.…

    Nelson Mandela Outline

    Four years later, Mandela is elected the first black President of South Africa. His presidency faces enormous challenges in the post-Apartheid era, including rampant poverty and crime. Mandela is particularly concerned about racial divisions between black and white South Africans, which could lead to violence. The ill will which both groups hold towards each other is seen even in his own security detail where relations between the established white officers, who had guarded Mandela's predecessors, and the black ANC additions to the security detail, are frosty and marked by mutual distrust.Mandela was elected President of South Africa marks a radical change in the country. This change away from apartheid will not be easy for anyone in the country, but Mandela has to figure out how to galvanize the residents of the country together. Because of his love of the game, Mandela places his support behind the Springboks, the national rugby…

    Rugby Union and Apartheid South Africa

    Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by white Afrikaner minority over the indigenous majority. Apartheid policy was enacted following the 1948 election of the main Afrikaner nationalist party, the Herenigde Nasionale Party. Different ethnic group were “classed ” into categories, as either white, colored, or "native. (Landis, p 14). This was significant as this separated society leading to forging of different national identities through different means. For the ruling “white” population, rugby was a source of national identity (Nauright, p 56). It played a significant part for Afrikaner culture, with rugby being a representation of their society. (Black and Nauright, p 35). . Rugby was the avenue in which Afrikaners could compete against the world. John Carlin, The Independents’ South Africa correspondent from 1989 to 1995, wrote a book called playing the Enemy. Through his first hand experiences with Nelson Mandela, he describes how Mandela’s decision in prison to unite the South African nation was through, as he saw it, the Afrikaner “secular religion”, rugby. Whilst international efforts focused on South African expulsion from the Olympic movement,…

    Musket Wars

    The colonization of NZ by Europeans and subsequent consequences support the ‘Fatal Impact theory’, which states that impact of European society on Maori lead to the general downfall of Maori, but it is impossible to blame the Musket Wars entirely on European impact. Prior to European contact the Maori had a well-established political system between iwis. For them war was an essential part of this, as a means of declaring land ownership. Wars were fought quickly between short distances, resulting in fewer deaths. The first war fought with muskets…

    Misleading, unorganized and inconclusive are only a few words to describe the signing of the treaty of Waitangi on the 6th of February 1840. The 3 official articles released were so heavily rushed that the responses following have damaged the Maori & English’s relationship for good. These articles have almost completely different translations, and ownership rights unsettled- leaving the maori chiefs at the time confused and uneducated. The responses that followed included some violent and nonviolent that lasted between a few days and about 2 years. These were the Northern wars, and Bastion point.…
