Agenda 09 - 15 Oktober 2016

Seminar: Post-apartheid Afrikaner politics in local and global perspective: The case of the Solidarity Movement. In contemporary South Africa, the Solidarity Movement claims to uphold and defend the interests of the white, Afrikaans-speaking minority in the context of majority rule. In the world’s most unequal country, Solidarity’s representation of Afrikaners – apartheid’s historical beneficiaries – as in need of special protection, is greeted with both enthusiasm and outrage. Speaker: Danelle van Zyl-Hermann, University of the Free State. Please register

When thinking about sport in Africa, many of us will immediately remember the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. It was the first time that such a mega sport event was ever held in Africa, drawing a lot of attention to football on the continent and promoting interest in Africa’s national teams. Indeed, there has been a tremendous increase in the interest in sport in general and its impact on African societies since the United Nations General Assembly adopted the first of a series of resolutions entitled “Sport as a means to promote education, health, development and peace” in 2003.
