I am aware that Craig David has been to Cape Town before but this time he’s performing live at Grand West on Thursday the 8th of December 2022. “Craig David’s…
[ad_1] As was laid out in Part 1, men’s elite club football in Europe can function as a catalyst for European identification, by providing continued contact and experience with a highly Europeanised cultural phenomenon. As a consequence of the intersection of football’s increased professionalization and commercialization and the process of European integration, fans cheer for teams with internationalised player squads, follow continental competitions, and have easy access to foreign leagues (see for example Niemann et al. 2022). This is in part driven by the “expanding everyday prevalence and influence of the mass and social media” in the so-called mediatisation of…

[ad_1] There were two South African records broken when the country’s athletes competed against a sprinkling of Africa’s top talents at the first leg of the ASA Grand Prix series, a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger meeting, at Pilditch Stadium in Pretoria on Wednesday. The first national record was set by Leandri Holtzhausen in the women’s hammer throw competition, a throw of 67.95m being a full 1.41m further than her previous national best set in February. The other SA record came in the women’s 4x400m relay, where Shirley Nekhubui, Miranda Coetzee, Marlie Viljoen and Zeney Geldenhuys produced a time of…
[ad_1] After nearly 10 years I finally returned to Joburg. I was SUPER nervous because…well…Capetonians are spoilt and basically we don’t ever really have a reason to visit – nor the will to do so! But, we did, and I must say that I had a really good time! In recent times there was a TikTok that went viral from a Joburg girl living in Cape Town and asking why it’s so hard to make friends in the Mother City. The conversation is being picked up again and it got me thinking about my colleagues who live in Joburg…

[ad_1] International Women’s Day is more than a celebration, it’s a call to action. Every year, it reminds us why we fight for progress, especially for women in sport. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, challenges us to push for meaningful change where systemic barriers continue to hold women back. We know the story all too well, the challenges women face in sport are persistent and frustrating. Despite their competitiveness, determination, and skill, female athletes in South Africa are still short-changed. For decades, they have excelled on the field, court, and track with significantly less support, funding, and visibility than their…
