4 II REGISTER OF SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN WHO PARTICIPATED IN SPORTS EVENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA 34 Introduction The South African r4gime and its racist sports bodies, despite their intensified efforts to break their international isolation, have so far failed to achieve any meaningful success. Although South Africa has lured a few sportsmen, women, and national teams with some international standing through the payment of inflated appearance fees and exceptional hospitality, South Africa continues to have limited access to international sports exchanges. International action against apartheid sport has intensified over the period under review. Furthermore, no international sports body which excluded or suspended South Africa from membership has reversed its decision despite the r4gime's heavily financed propaganda efforts. However, the r4gime has continued with its generous funding of apartheid sports, inter alia, through a series of tax concessions to private sector sponsors, that is South African and/or transnational companies. Rugby The International Rugby Board (IRB) is one of the few international sports federations which continues to accommodate apartheid sports and sanction international competitions with teams from South Africa without any reservation.l/ Australian Rugby Union is the only member of the International Rugby Board which refuses to entertain sports exchanges with South Africa. In January 1984, a South African schoolboy's team toured Wales, United Kingdom, with the full approval of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU). In protest, the United Kingdom's Minister in Charge of the Welsh Office, Mr. Nicholas Edwards, and the Minister in charge of sports in Wales, Mr. John Stradling Thomas, as well as opposition Labour Party parliamentarians boycotted Welsh rugby matches. Mr. Neil Kinnock, the leader of the Labour Party and a rugby enthusiast, stated that "the only way we are going to get fairness in rugby football in South Africa is by denying them access". He said that he was boycotting the matches "with real regret" but that the need for human justice took precedence over his love for rugby. 2/ The most serious violation of the United Nations resolutions against apartheid sport was committed by the English Rugby Football Union (ERFU) when it decided, by 44 votes to six, to send its national team to South Africa. There was widespread opposition to the tour. The United Kingdom's Minister of Sport, Mr. Neil McFarlane, had several meetings with the English Rugby Football Union trying to dissuade them from visiting South Africa. The Special Committee against Apartheid urged the rugby authorities to decline the invitation as well. Appeals were also made by the Organization of African Unity (OAU); the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa (SCSA); the Commonwealth Secretary- General; the leader of the British Labour Party; the British Trades Union Congress (BTUC); the president of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement, Archbishop Trevor Huddleston; various anti-apartheid groups in South Africa; and several international and national organizations and individuals. Despite all

5 appeals the ERFU team, although badly depleted in strength by withdrawals, including that of the team captain Peter Wheeler, toured South Africa in May and June The Commonwealth Games Council for England also failed in its constitutional obligation under the Code of Conduct of the Commonwealth Games Federation by not taking effective measures in trying to prevent the tour of South Africa by the English Rugby Football Union. The statements of the Chairman of the Council, in fact, led the authorities of the English Rugby Football Union to believe that the Council did not object to their tour of South Africa. Other Commonwealth Games councils are reported to be closely following the actions of the British Council as regards British sports contacts with South Africa, with a view to considering appropriate action. In June 1984 the Welsh Rugby Union voted by 306 votes to 62 to continue its links with South Africa despite numerous protests and appeals, including one from the Chairman of the Special Committee against Apartheid, to cease contacts with apartheid sports. Mr. Myrddin John, secretary of the Welsh Commonwealth Games Council, wrote to the Welsh Rugby Union expressing his Council's disappointment and saying that it "was a most unfortunate decision." 3/ In the same month, the French Rugby Federation, which cancelled its 1983 tour to South Africa on the insistence of the French Government, announced that it would tour South Africa in the near future. The New Zealand Rugby Football Union (NZRF) has not announced yet its decision regarding a proposed visit to South Africa in / South African propaganda against sports boycott The South African r4gime has further expanded its propaganda efforts to undermine the boycott of apartheid sport. Racist sports bodies in South Africa continue to enjoy a fair amount of support among British sports administrators. Their administrators make frequent visits to London to publicize apartheid sport. They hold regular press conferences in London and seem to get "invited" to press luncheons and other events which they use as a platform to justify their case. They are initiating new projects in London, hoping to inflict serious damage to the apartheid sports boycott campaign. Apartheid sports authorities decided to open a permanent office in London and appointed a former cricketer, Eddie Barlow, as its director. He will act as "spokesman, negotiator and organizer" for South African sport. Barlow stated that his "primary long-term aim would be to see South Africa accepted into the sporting world". 5/ In other words, the purpose of this office is to encourage violations of the Gleneagles Agreement to which the Government of the United Kingdom is a party. As of the publication of this register, he was waiting for the issuance of a work permit from the Government of the United Kingdom in order to open the office. In February 1984, the white South African Olympic Committee (SAOC) urged the British Minister for Sport to visit South Africa, hoping that he would influence other Commonwealth countries to annul the Gleneagles Agreement. In March 1984, just before the decision by the English Rugby

6 Football Union to tour South Africa, the South African Minister of Sport paid a special visit to London and told the press that the rugby tour would assist multiracial sport. He did not mention that his party was committed to racial segregation in sport. 6/ Furthermore, South Africans regularly call upon the services of a British Member of Parliament, Mr. John Carlisle, to defend them in the United Kingdom. He regularly visits South Africa. In February 1984, Mr. Carlisle succeeded in getting more than 100 Conservative Party Members of Parliament to sign a motion demanding that the English rugby chiefs be left free from pressures to decide whether to go ahead with the tour to South Africa. 7/ Sponsorship of apartheid sport Recent reports indicate that the r4gime provided large-scale financial assistance, through a series of tax concessions, to sponsors of sports events in order to enable them to lure sports persons from abroad. Many of the multi-million rand sports events, such as boxing, golf, football and tennis, cost the sponsors less than eight per cent of the total outlay, since they receive as much as 92.4 per cent in tax rebates. In most cases, the sponsors could also claim a further seven per cent as general sales tax, thus reducing their total outlay to a mere 0.6 per cent. Opposition by other businesses has forced the r4gime to withdraw reluctantly half of the 92.4 per cent tax concession. The r~gime, however, still provides over 53 per cent of the sports sponsorship revenue. The South African Minister of Sport said: "In accepting the definitions that still allow sponsors the 46.2 per cent rebate and the seven per cent general sales tax, the Government has shown that it clearly supports sport in this country." 8/ Since sponsors are reported to provide South African sport with about R 100 million annually, it appears that over R 53 million is coming out of government funds. 9/ The r4gime also provides other direct subsidies for travel and other expenses of visiting teams. White South African sports personalities are now complaining that overseas stars are being excessively pampered in South Africa. "We are not asking for anything special," said one player. "We just want a fair deal. In other countries the home players are looked after, here it is the visitors who are given everything." One player revealed that in 1983, when a South African team played Billie-Jean King and Susan Mascarin of the United States in a "Test", the Americans were paid a fortune compared to the local players. "Billie-Jean King brought in the crowds, so we have no complaints there," said the player, "But Sue? (Susan Mascarin) She was ranked nowhere, and got twice as much as our best player. We virtually played for nothing." 10/ Passports of convenience White South Africa's efforts to be represented at the Olympic Games and other major competitions has been repeatedly thwarted by the collective opposition of

7 sports administrators from African, Asian, Latin American and East European countries. However, in collusion with the supporters of apartheid, South Africa is trying to penetrate into Olympic Games and other competitions by allowing its athletes to acquire passports of convenience or by registering its members with overseas clubs. Although several countries have helped to provide passports of convenience for South African athletes, the United Kingdom has been outstanding on this issue. Over the years, a string of South Africans have penetrated into the Olympic and Commonwealth Games and other major international sports events as representatives of the United Kingdom. There was widespread protest in the United Kingdom when Zola Budd, a white South African runner, was granted citizenship in a record period of ten days. Several women athletes were extremely angry at the sudden entry of Zola Budd into British athletics. One athlete even threatened to boycott the British Olympic trials if Zola Budd was allowed to compete. Labour-Party controlled local councils stated that Zola Budd would not be welcome to participate in athletics stadiums managed by them. The local council of Crawley protested at her participation and Zola Budd was withdrawn from the race in Crawley. I/ After she competed in two races in the United Kingdom, Budd's sponsors, the London Daily Mail, tested the West European opinion by entering her for a race in Oslo, Norway. Norwegian sports policy forbids South Africans to compete in Norway, and at that time she was a dual national British and South African. However, the manager of the British team misled the Norwegian sports authorities by stating that she was British citizen only. Protests came from all quarters in Norway and one of their star runners withdrew from the race.12/ In June 1984, two South African crews were allowed to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta, disguised in the colours of an English rowing club, Cantabrigian of Cambridge. The coach of the South African team admitted that his crews were sponsored by South African companies. 13/ Cantabrigian, a relatively minor rowing club, would normally have been required to enter a qualifying race. It was, however, allowed to participate in the Regatta without going through a qualifying race. The organizers of the Regatta apparently knew that practically every member of the Cantabrigian crew was a member of the South African national team which qualified the team automatically. Athletic teams in the United States have included in their teams a black South African, Sydney Maree, who was brought over to the United States of America by the South African Department of Foreign Affairs. Maree competed in international events for the United States through a change in rules of the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF). The change of rules had been sponsored by the United States. Maree finally became a United States citizen in May South Africans are also reported to be competing in prestige athletics events as members of teams from the Federal Republic of Germany, Israel, Lesotho and Portugal. So far, the International Amateur Athletics Federation has been silent on this matter. Internal developments in South Africa

8 Most black South Africans participate in non-racial leagues. A few black South Africans who still participate in sports events authorized and supported by the rigime continue to be humiliated by apartheid legislation. The black government-recognized National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), which frequently boasts that its activities are non-racial, continuously falls into the apartheid trap when it is prevented from using most of the major football stadiums in the white "group areas". In 1984, Witbank Black Aces, a member of the National Professional Soccer League, engaged a Peruvian player-coach, Augusto Palacios. He was prevented for some time from staying in the same house with his white wife in a white suburb because he was black. 14/ The Sowetan, Johannesburg, aptly summarized the situation in South Africa on 4 April 1984: "It is because of such laws that campaigns such as the sporting boycott have been launched vigorously. Palacios might have been one of those sportsmen who believed that politics and sports do not mix. In South Africa, they do. Maybe only now can he understand why the like of him should never have ventured to come and play in this country... "Oh! we are aware that red carpet treatment is laid on for black cricketers visiting the country. But much as sporting exchanges will enhance South Africa's claim of non-racial sport, a black still remains a black. To put it more crudely, South Africa's draconian laws will not be compromised because of a few sporting ventures. Palacios is no different. He is still a black man." 15/ Alvin Kallicharran, the West Indian cricketer now playing in South Africa, had to obtain special dispensation from the Department of Internal Affairs to play in the Orange Free State. Kallicharran, of Indian origin, was forbidden by a provincial ordinance to live and work in the province. 16/ A 60-year-old Indian businessman frrm Krnicersdorp applied for membership in a local golf club in May. This immediately inspired an intense debate at the Krugersdorp Town Council; the matter was referred back to the management committee whose chairman said it should be a policy of the town council not to allow other race groups membership to white sports facilities. _7/ The son of an Indian Councillor who co-operates with the r~gime had his application to join the Greytown Country Club (golf) turned down for the fifth year running. He now practises his game on the local polo and rugby fields. 18/ Blacks playing in the government-authorized league of the South African Cricket Union in the Transvaal have been told by the Town Clerk of Potgietersrus that only whites could use the municipal grounds. 19/ The group of West Indian cricketers who were lured to South Africa now find themselves unwanted both in their home countries and in South Africa. The wife

9 of one of the Jamaican rebel cricketers said they cannot return home as they "are definitely outcasts". 20/ If the cricketers had been white, South Africa would have invited them to settle there as they previously did with white cricketers. But as blacks they could be accommodated only as third class citizens and could not receive the "honorary white" status which was temporarily given to them while they played cricket. Olympic Games As indicated earlier, Zola Budd, a South African athlete, was granted British citizenship in a record period of ten days in order to enable her to participate in the 1984 Olympic Games as a member of the British team. 21/ This was achieved with the assistance of a London newspaper, Daily Mail, and of the authorities concerned in the United Kingdom. The Government of the United Kingdom, despite a public outcry in the country, defended its action by saying that the "(Government) gave her exceptional treatment - but she (was) an exceptional girl". 22/ Prior to the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, sports organizations in the United States of America adopoted a rather ambivalent position regarding contacts with South African sport. To safeguard the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the organizers declared their abomination of apartheid sport and publicly announced that there should be no United States sports exchanges with South Africa. In January 1984, the South African National and Olympic Games Association, decided at its meeting against sports contacts with the United States prior to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The motion was introduced in order to avoid the possibility of a boycott of the 1984 Olympic Games. 23/ Several United States-South Africa sports events were consequently cancelled. The steps taken by the United States sports authorities were meant to avoid international action against United States contacts with apartheid sports, before and during Olympic Games. It will be recalled that apartheid sports policy has always been to defy the international isolation campaign and to provoke international sports crises. The South African Rugby Board (SARB), which lobbies for international contact in a most aggressive manner, reprimanded an insignificant team of the Anglo American Corporation for allegedly defying a Board ruling not to tour the United States. Efforts of the international community in the boycott of apartheid sport There has been further progress in the campaign against apartheid sport despite attempts by some national sports federations to aid South Africa. In the United Kingdom, several local councils have taken action against collaborators with apartheid sport. At the beginning of 1984, the Greater London Council (GLC) announced that it would not allow South Africans to compete at any of its sports installations and stated that it would withdraw grants from organizations which maintained contact with South African sport. In May 1984, the Greater London Council opposed the participation of Zola Budd at the Crystal Palace Recreation Centre until she denounced apartheid. It failed to

10 implement its decision, however, because the other member of the joint administrative body, the Sport Council, refused to co-operate. Attempts to ban her from competing in the Cwmbran Stadium in Wales failed for similar reasons. However, Zola Budd was forced to withdraw from a race in Crawley because of the opposition of the Crawley local council. 24/ Some local authorities in the United Kingdom announced sanctions against clubs and individuals maintaining links with South African rugby. The Mid-Glamorgan County Council in Wales announced a series of sanctions cancelling paid leave to its employees who wished to attend matches and trial games; banning clubs from council pitches and premises and withdrawing of facilities for pre-match training sessions by the Wales squad. 25/ The Swansea City Council refused to allow an invitation side, which had three South Africans in their team to play a match at the Swansea Rugby Ground. The Leicester City Council warned the city's rugby players that if they toured South Africa they would not be able to use the city's recreation ground. 26/ The Labour Party-controlled Edinburgh District Council decided to boycott American golfer Jack Nicklaus, after having learned that his name was on the United Nations Register of Sports Contacts with South Africa. Councillor James Hastie, Committee Chairman, was asked by reporters whether Nicklaus would be welcome in the hospitality tent. He said: "I would hope that those with known associations with South Africa would take the hint that they would not be welcome". 27/ The United Kingdom's tug-of-war team withdrew from the world championships in the United States of America because South Africa was participating. 28/ The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association indicated that it would block attempts to get a British team to play a "Test" series against South Africa. Several players had been approached by South African negotiators. 29/ Robert (Rob) Punt, a racing-car driver from the Netherlands, refused to compete in the South African Motor Car Grand Prix at Kyalami in March 1984 because of his abhorrence of apartheid. In the West Indies, the Governments of Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago have reiterated their support for the Register of Sports Contacts with South Africa. The Cardiff rugby team in Wales was banned from playing in the Caribbean because of its links with South Africa. 30/ In April 1984, the Government of Bermuda banned British rugby player Peter Winterbottom, because of his intention to tour South Africa with the team of the English Rugby Union in May / The Government of Malaysia refused to grant visas to a South African delegation wishing to attend the meeting of the International Badminton Federation held in Kuala Lumpur in May A proposal from the Soviet Union calling for the expulsion of South Africa from the International Badminton Federation was deferred to a future date by the president of the Federation, who insisted that South Africa should be given a chance to defend itself. 32/

11 Italy and Hong Kong have announced that South African golf teams would not be allowed to participate in world championships to be held later in The Olgiata Club in Rome is to be the venue for the World Cup 33/ and Hong Kong will host the World Amateur Team Championships - Eisenhower Cup for men and Esperito Santo Cup for women. 34/ The Minister of Culture and Social Services of Kenya, Kenneth Matiba, announced that Rob Collinge, a motor rally driver, was banned from competing in the Kenyan Safari Rally because he took part in the South African rally in Mr. Matiba said Mr. Collinge had "betrayed the great trust endowed in him by his country and which Kenyans held sacrosanct". 35/ South Africa was banned from taking part in the 1984 Paraolympics scheduled to be held in the United States of America in tandem with the 1984 Olympics. Wheelchair competitions were transferred to the United Kingdom after the United States Committee failed to raise enough funds to stage the event. However, the officials at Stoke Mandeville Sports Centre - firm supporters of links with South Africa - were forced to accept the exclusion of South Africa. 36/ The French Tennis Federation has stopped the 18-year old Catherine Tanvier from playing in the South African Open Women's Tennis Championships which was held in Johannesburg. 37/ The Australian Government has refused visas to three South African rugby administrators who wanted to debate the South African sports policy in Australia. 38/ The African Football Confederation has banned a tournament sponsored by the Rothmans Tobacco Company and has ordered that advertisement for the Camel Trophy be removed from stadiums used for the African Nations Cup finals in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The ban was imposed because Rothmans is a South African company. 39/ -10- The Supreme Council for Sport in Africa, at its executive in June 1984 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, strongly condemned the of South Africa by the team of the English Rugby Football Union. all member countries to implement the following without delay: meeting held rugby tour It requested - to refuse admission to all British citizens who wish to take part in sporting events held on African soil' - to boycott all sports equipment sponsored by the United Kingdom; - to ban all contracts with British sports experts appointed to serve in Africa; and - to refuse to award contracts for sports installations to British firms and not to purchase equipment made in the United Kingdom. Deletions from the Register The Centre against Apartheid has received a letter from karate coach Toru Yamaguchi (Japan) undertaking that he had terminated all sports contacts and that he would no longer engage in sports contacts with South Africa. His name, therefore, has been deleted from the Register.
