It is finally here! Now is the time for Africa to shine. The stadia are ready. The pitches are perfect. The roads are built. The airports and other infrastructural requirements are up to standard. The base camps are awaiting the arrival of the teams. The fans are practising their vuvuzela techniques and painting their faces in the colours of their national team. It is an exciting time to be South African.

And where are the Afro-pessimists now? Where the people who said we would fail to make the deadlines? Where are the ones who said we wouldn’t fill the stadia to capacity? They are quiet for the moment, but soon even they will be cheering with the rest of us.

And that is the wonderful thing about this tournament. It brings all of us together. It brings the world together. It brings the world to our doorstep and it provides us with a unique platform to show everyone who we are and what we can achieve as South Africans.

So let us celebrate being South African, in all our beauty and our diversity. Let us celebrate in all the tongues we speak and in all the shades of our skin. Let us celebrate in our music, in our rhythm, in our art and in our food. Let us celebrate being African and being citizens of the world. This is a wonderful time to be alive!

Sincerely

Minister Sakkie Jenner

Opening wordTHE LEGACY OF 2010

THE LEGACY OF 2010

Cape Town Stadium This extraordinary infrastructure project was significantly supported by the Province to the amount of R212m in the knowledge that the stadium has changed sport in the Western Cape forever. The balance of government support for soccer is now correctly maintained, proportionate to the number of South Africans who support the game. The provision of a facility like the Cape Town stadium will, undoubtedly, have a positive impact on the lives of the majority of people in our Province. The sustainability of the project will depend on the way in which support for football and other events at the stadium is mobilised and grown by a range of forces, including the football and rugby communities, arts and culture organisations, schools and civic organisations.

Philippi Stadium upgrade - Phase IThe Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport ran Phase 1 of the Philippi Stadium upgrade. The legacy of this project is that the Philippi and Kosovo communities now have, on their doorstep, a sports facility which is of international standard. The sustainability of the project will depend on the appointment of a tenant for the grounds and the ability of that tenant to organise matches and events.

“Stars in their eyes” project This international partnership arrangement with Holland has produced 120 trained coaches who are working within their communities to ensure that the skill of football reaches some of the most remote areas of the Province. The programme will continue with the signing of new agreements beyond the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

Football development programmes A wide range of football development

programmes, including training, capacity- building, street and playground football and programmes run by Ambassadors have been implemented in the run-up period to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. All of these, excepting the Ambassadors programme, will be deepened and continued, using the capacity within the Sports Directorate of the Department. Six Countdown Clocks These high-resolution outdoor screens will be left as a legacy for each of the District Municipalities to use for advertising, notices, screenings of events, etc. Training is provided for the upkeep of the machinery and the resource will be available for municipalities.

Mobile ScreenThis mobile screen will enable the Department to run future public viewing events in even the most of remote areas.

The Province and CCDI partnership to develop suitable 2010 productThe Department has supported the Cape Craft and Design Institute (CCDI) - a Provincially supported craft training and networking organisation - to equip a network of crafters to produce products designed to be sold to football tourists and fans.

Playground football and street football programmesThe Department has adapted the “ Street Football” idea for roll-out in the playground setting. This will be continued in the future and run through the Sports Directorate.

“My 2010 School Adventure” schools programme This project comprised of both a soccer tournament and a cultural competition. The prizes were designed to equip school learners

with an opportunity to “Touch the World Cup” through a soccer competition, and learn about the participating countries in relation to their culture, traditions and history.

Contribution to pitch upgrades (Knysna)As Knysna is a base camp for two of the 2010 FIFA World Cup teams, the Loerie Park sports ground has been upgraded to accommodate them. The upkeep of these grounds are done by the local Municipality, and the benefit to the local population is enormous.

Museum upgradesBecause George is one of the venues for a Public Viewing Area and host to the Japanese team, the George Museum has been upgraded to prepare for the influx of fans, and will now host a permanent art collection.

Disabled Race in the Oyster FestivalThis is a lasting legacy which was started in 2009 by the Department and which will continue into the future of this world-famous festival. Public support for this event has been enormous and there is indication that it will become a major national event.

Volunteer trainingThe Department trained 99 volunteers for the Confederations Cup and will train 215 more for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It is gratifying to know that a sizeable proportion of the people trained for the Confederations Cup went on to secure employment soon after the tournament ended.

National symbols programmeThe national symbols programme was rolled out in schools throughout the Province. The programme succeeded in giving learners and educators alike a new sense of understanding and a real pride in our national symbols.

NOT ONLY IS THE WESTERN CAPE investing in the refurbishment and construction of a number of stadia that are due to host 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches but we are also refurbishing a number of stadia that will be used as training grounds for the visiting national teams.

BRINGING THE WORLD CUP

TO YOU

As the tournament draws nearer, South Africa is humming with activity on a profusion of fronts and the craft sector is no exception, with the country’s first Craft and Design

Institute leading the way towards a successful industry economy. In anticipation, the Cape Craft & Design Institute (CCDI) aims to draw the maximum benefit from the tournament opportunities in the Western Cape and simultaneously to construct the ideal model for the growth of the sector in other regions.

Measures to stimulate the craft economy will include providing guidelines so that craft producers will not breach FIFA copyright rules; hosting guest speakers to give craft producers Cape Town’s plans as host city; reporting on the progress of infrastructural developments and landscaping; creativity workshops to inspire new craft products; providing opportunities for craft producers to test their new products at various venues (e.g. Fanjols and other festivals); and liaising with SA corporates to use Western Cape craft producers for corporate gifts which are appropriate for the tournament.

The CCDI was set up in 2001 to provide support and assistance to craft producers in accessing the market and thereby promote and grow craft as an economic sector in the Western Cape. At first, it was a joint initiative of the Western Cape Provincial Government and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

Now, eight years after its establishment, it is also funded by the City of Cape Town; the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport; the national departments of Trade and Industry (the DTI) and Science and Technology; and a number of private sector funders for projects. It has three well-established core programmes and functions as a “Best Practice” institute: developing people to build

profitable enterprises, with marketable products, for global markets.The Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has

sponsored a detailed research project to investigate appropriate designs for crafters to explore with the view to selling craft in 2010.

The Institute facilitates entry for handcrafters into the sector, introduces and trains them to generate business locally and internationally, and provides product and market support to all players in the product-to-market chain, including designer-makers, craft retailers, national chains, marketing agents, exporters, and service providers such as designers, product developers, skills trainers, business development practitioners and mentors.

In many ways the CCDI has been the barrier-breaker into a domain that was always too difficult, and too unknown, to tackle. But Executive Director Erica Elk, with her passion for the challenges that face the vulnerable small business entrepreneur in a country still in the toddler stages of a free market economy, steered into the territory. Starting with a small staff, they learnt from every project, adapted, learnt again, adapted some more, and today the CCDI is highly acknowledged throughout the sector for their work and for the authentic way in which things are done.

The success stories of the CCDI are such that the Department of Trade and Industry recently gave official recognition to the CCDI in identifying it as “the first official DTI Craft Hub”. The CCDI has developed a model that can be transferred to other sectors. “We have the roadmap of where we are aspiring to be. The challenge is for the CCDI to develop fully into this hub,” says Erica, “and to stay efficient and be responsive in the process.”* The Institute can be reached on 021 460-3982 or [email protected]/www.ccdi.org.za

TO YOUDuring the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ only a select group of people

in the Western Cape will be able to watch live soccer matches at the Cape Town Stadium. However, those who do not have

tickets will be able to share in the action by watching the games at one of the many Fanjols around the Province.

The Fanjols, organised and funded by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, will be held in the five outlying regions of the Province in the towns of George, Beaufort West, Worcester, Vredenburg and Bredasdorp. Fanjols are much more than big-screen events, as there will be activities and plenty of entertainment.

Fanjols start at 12 noon with a coaching clinic conducted by the Western Cape 2010 Soccer Ambassadors. For children too young to play soccer or not interested in the sport, jumping castles and entertainment are provided to keep them entertained. All kids are supervised in a safe environment and parents can relax while their children are in the Kids Zone.

Vendors from the local community prepare and sell food in the Food Zone. All vendors are licensed and are in possession of all the relevant health and safety clearances. In keeping with the FIFA Green Goal, no polystyrene or plastic containers are allowed.

Entertainment before and after the soccer matches is provided by local DJs, MCs, freestyle footballers, local bands, dancers and singers. In addition, there are a number of exciting prizes and giveaways, as well as educational programmes.

Fanjols in the Western Cape are one of the many ways that will help you “Touch the World Cup”. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.

This year’s Library Week campaign took place at the Western Cape Sport School in Kuilsriver. As South Africans are in the grip of soccer fever, the Western Cape Provincial Library Service

decided to jump on the bandwagon and share in the soccer frenzy. The Library Week campaign focused on the forthcoming 2010 FIFA World CupTM event. Therefore the theme of the week, Read the game: score @ your library / Lees die spel: wen @ jou biblioteek / Funda Umdlalo: faka inqaku kwithala lakho leencwadi, was formulated to link librairies with soccer.

As customary, the Provincial Library Service provided free promotional material to public libraries affiliated to the Western Cape Provincial Library Service via the regional organisation.

Posters in three languagesFour posters were made to spread the word of Library Week. Two were aimed at adults, one that depicted a soccer stadium with the penalty corner and the words Provincial Library Service, and one that depicted a soccer stadium with the penalty corner and the words responding to Bhuki - whose task it is to encourage children to join him in the wonderful world of books and reading.

Bookmarks The theme of the bookmarks was to feature the slogans “Read the game”, along with a stack of books and a soccer ball on the one side, and a soccer field with the slogan “Score@your library” on the reverse side. The free service that libraries offer to its users was also mentioned on the bookmarks.

Bags Evergreen recycled plastic bags with reinforced handles sported the 2010 soccer theme.

Balloons Colourful balloons for the children with the slogan “Score @ your library” were given to all of the children.

Activities for children There were some innovative ideas for activities for children during Library Week which kept them entertained

and safe. The Albany Activity Book was a popular and useful book to keep young users occupied. Soccer balls were made out of paper-mâché, while a soccer party with face painting and fishing for soccer balls happened in the other corner. Other activities included a hide-and-seek game, where soccer balls were hidden in libraries, and a teddy bear picnic where children learnt about the various participating countries.

Other activities Other activities ranged from custom-made vuvuzelas constructed from kelp found on the beach, to shakers for the children using toilet-roll holders and filled with rice or beans. A soccer literature game was created where four libraries chose four teams and a selection of books as reference material. They then had knockout rounds and the winners received a prize.

WESTERN CAPEBASE CAMP TEAMS


As one of the four European teams to have participated at the inaugural World Cup in 1930, and one of only seven national teams to have won the competition, the French National

Football team is not one to be messed with. Their victory came in 1998 when they defeated Brazil on French soil, but they actually have more UEFA European Football Championship victories after they won the first one in 1984, and then again in 2000. Then, in the following year, they went on to take the 2001 Confederations Cup victory, making them one of two national teams (Argentina being the other team) to win the three most important men’s titles organised by FIFA: the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Confederations Cup, and the Olympic Tournament.

France currently shares a competitive rivalry with neighbors Italy, whom they first played against in 1910. The rivalry was dormant

for a while, but re-ignited following the controversial circumstances surrounding Zinedine Zidane’s unforgettable sending-off in the 2006 World Cup final.

France is often referred to by the media and supporters as Les Bleus (The Blues), which is the nickname associated with all of France’s international sporting teams due to the blue shirts. The team is also referred to as Les Tricolores or L’Equipe Tricolore (The Tri-color Team) due to the team’s utilisation of the country’s national colours: red, blue, and white. During the 1980s, France earned the nickname the “Brazilians of Europe” mainly due to the accolades of the “carré magique” (“Magic Square”), who were anchored by Michel Platini. Led by coach Michel Hidalgo, France exhibited an inspiring, elegant, skillful, and technically advanced offensive style of football, which was similar to that of their South American counterparts.

The Danish national team has been a solidly competitive side in the international football world since the mid-1980s, with the triumph in the 1992 European Championships tournament as

their most prominent victory. They also won the Confederations Cup in 1995, defeating Argentina in the final match.

The new coach turned out to be the former national team captain from the successful team of the 1980s, Morten Olsen, and the team was quickly dubbed the “Olsen Gang” - a reference to the series of Danish movies based around the main character Egon Olsen and his genius (criminal) plans. The nickname was also used for the Danish team when Olsen captained it.

Under Olsen, who brought with him great experience, Denmark’s tactics shifted to an even more attacking style, with an emphasis on the speedy wingers available to him at the time, namely Jesper Grønkjær and Dennis Rommedahl, and Olsen stressed the importance

of only using fit and on-form players in the team. For the 2006 World Cup qualification, Denmark was paired

with the 2002 World Cup bronze winners, Turkey, and Euro 2004 champions Greece, who were all competing for only one guaranteed spot at the final tournament. Following a poor start of the qualification, Denmark were trailing both Turkey and surprise leaders Ukraine. Denmark needed Turkey to lose points in the final games in order for Denmark to clinch the 2nd place in the group and one last chance to qualify. Indeed, had Turkey lost points to Albania in their last game, Denmark would have gone through, but instead they had to settle for 3rd place in the group and a longer summer break.

After failing to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, coach Olsen considered leaving the job, having received several offers from club teams, but decided to stay and extended his contract until after the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

Commonly known by the fans as Soccer Nippon Daihyō, or Nippon Daihyō, the Japanese National Team has been nicknamed the “Samurai Blue”, as a reference to their national

colours. Japan is one of the most successful national teams in Asia, being a three-time winner of the Asian Cup and having qualified for the last four consecutive World Cup finals.

The nation’s first FIFA World Cup appearance was in 1998, where they lost all three matches. Japan’s first two fixtures went in favour of Argentina and Croatia, despite their playing well in both games. Their campaign ended with an unexpected defeat to rank outsiders and underdogs, Jamaica.

Four years later, Japan co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup with South Korea. Despite being held to a draw by Belgium in their opening game, the Japanese team advanced to the second round with a win over Russia and a victory against Tunisia. However, they

subsequently exited the tournament during Round 16 after losing to eventual third-place finishers, Turkey.

Japan has had considerably more success in the Asian Cup, taking home the winner’s trophy in three of the last four finals, in 1992, 2000 and 2004. Their principal continental rivals are South Korea, followed by Saudi Arabia, and most recently Australia.

Japan is the only team from outside the Americas to participate in the Copa América, having been invited in 1999 and 2011.

In 2005, Japan qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, its third consecutive World Cup. However, Japan failed to advance to the Round of 16 after finishing without a win, losing to Australia, drawing to Croatia and losing to Brazil.

Japan became the first team, other than the host South Africa, to qualify for the 2010 World Cup after defeating Uzbekistan, and is in Group E along with the Netherlands, Denmark and Cameroon.

TOURIST INFORMATION THE WESTERN CAPETS

Above: Cango Caves, Oudtshoorn

EDEN DISTRICT Ranging from sparse Karoo landscape to lush forests

overlooking the ocean, Eden is everything that its name suggests. The Garden Route creeps up the southeast

coast, starting with Witsand and ending off at the popular holiday town of Plettenberg Bay, traversing the Tstisikamma Forest and many golden beaches.

Set in the midst of the Outeniqua Mountains, forests, rivers and farmland, George is the bustling town that is the site of the Fanjol. It is the administrative capital of Eden, with refined infrastructure and an easygoing atmosphere. Often referred to as ‘cold and wet’, this is a reference to the car registration, CAW and not the climate, as its moderate climate makes it the perfect place for outdoor adventure like hang-gliding, climbing and surfing.

Further up the coast is Knysna, a popular coastal hamlet famous for its environmental beauty and diversity, funky shopping spots and chic restaurants. It was built around the immense Knysna lagoon, a natural water system that is home to the rare pansy shell, the endemic sea horse, as well as many oysters. The indigenous forests behind Knysna has an elusive herd of elephants living in it, but tourists can hug

and feed some very obvious and well-mannered ones at the Knysna Elephant Park. The Featherbed Nature Reserve offers many different walks and hikes, particularly to the famous Knysna Heads at the mouth of the lagoon.

To get a closer look, hop on one of the many cruises that sail across the lagoon. Just an hour away from Knysna is Plettenberg Bay, tucked into the northern tip of the Western Cape and well known for its spectacular views as a result of its slanted topography. Bird lovers should visit the Birds of Eden, the largest single span aviary in the world, which has over 2 000 previously caged birds.

Next door is the first free-roaming, multi-species primate sanctuary, Monkeyland, where visitors can roam the grounds with the resident lemurs, gibbons and capuchin monkeys. Venturing inland to Oudtshoorn will be worth the drive, as visitors can hold a cheetah at Cheetahland, ride an ostrich, or crawl through some of the largest stalagmite formations at the Cango Caves.

TOURIST INFORMATION THE WESTERN CAPE


WINELANDS DISTRICT

Above: Stellenbosch

As the home of one of the oldest wine routes in the country, the Stellenbosch Wine Route, the Winelands is a region that can be enjoyed at any time of the

year. From vast wine farms and old towns still displaying authentic Cape Dutch architecture, to adventure activities, there is more to this area than the name suggests.

Of course, the wine is exquisite and can be tasted at over 140 different wine farms. Stellenbosch, known as the party capital to locals, is an interesting combination of traditional buildings and modern, chic restaurants, as well as many clubs catering for the plethora of students from the local university. En route to Stellenbosch is the topical home of millions of free-flying and exotic butterflies at Butterfly World.

The active can stretch their legs in the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, situated above Stellenbosch and enclosed by the Boland mountain range. Visitors can choose between walking, cycling or hiking, all of which would provide the opportunity to spot some of the wildlife, including the honey badger, baboons and even leopards.

Worcester is the largest town as it is the shopping and business centre for the entire valley and the site of the Fanjol,

but it is also hidden between mountain ranges and vineyards. Producing almost 27 percent of the country’s wine and spirits, Worcester and the surrounding region is a popular spot for visitors. The Worcester Wine Route incorporates 250 years of winemaking, as well as producing the first Braille wine bottle.

Just outside Worcester is the Karoo National Botanical Garden, the only succulent garden in the southern hemisphere laying claim to 155 hectares of indigenous succulents.

Fine wine, peaches, pears and wild herbs are produced in abundance in the historic town of Tulbagh due to the mountainous backdrop creating extreme day and night temperatures. Wellington is another quaint town surrounded by vineyards as well as the Kromme River and the Groenberg mountain. Beyond Wellington is the treacherous Bain’s Kloof Pass linking Wellington to Worcester. It has now become a historical monument and the views are magnificent, but the narrow winding road hugging the steep cliff is an adventure on its own.

WEST COAST DISTRICT

Above: West Coast Fossil Park

If long, uninterrupted stretches of coastline with a few, traditional fishing villages dotted along the way is what you’re looking for, then the West Coast is the place to go.

Located along the south-west coast of South Africa, the West Coast is the seaside band starting from Blaauwberg in the south and ending at Namaqualand in the north. It includes the towns of Paternoster, Saldanha Bay, St Helena Bay, Langebaan, Port Owen, Laaiplek, Velddrif, Jacobs Bay, Stompneusbaai, Brittany Bay, Shelly Point, and Vredenburg.

Named after the Afrikaans word for peace, Vredenburg is the transportation and commercial heart of the West Coast. With a conglomeration of fish factories, local services and tourist attractions, Vredenburg is the site of the Fanjols. The Fossil Park allows visitors to cruise through a ‘live’ exhibit of an ongoing excavation and browse through historic relics of the past, such as giant pigs and short-necked giraffes. For those seeking more adventure, there are four different mountain biking trails that meander through the park.

Moving inland is the peaceful hamlet of Darling, the home of the famous political and satirical comedian, Pieter-Dirk Uys. Visit his theatre for an unforgettable show.

From June to October, the landscape is transformed into a vivid display of colour as the flowers erupt in full bloom all over the surrounding hills of the West Coast National Park. But tucked away inland from Saldanha Bay is the Langebaan Lagoon, the main feature of the park as it is home to thousands of seabirds, migrant waders and wetland birds. Many of the wader species are palearctic migrants, which means that they migrate to South Africa for the warmer summer months and have contributed to the lagoon becoming a Ramsar Site (a protected site for its unique wetland habitat). But it is not just for bird lovers, as mammal species like eland, red hartebeest and caracal have been spotted in the park. Of course, there are always the lions and buffalo at the Buffelsfontein Game Reserve. The West Coast has a fishing reputation for good reason, and it has become known as the seafood mecca of the Western Cape. When Snoek season arrives, there will be no shortage of proud fishermen selling these on the side of the road.

CENTRAL KAROO DISTRICT

Above: Meiringspoort

Known for its relaxing and rejuvenating qualities, the Central Karoo is a picturesque region of open space. The never-ending landscape of vast, arid plains is met

with few towns and mountain ranges. As one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, this region is rich in semi-arid fossils and rock art. The Karoo was named after the Khoi word, karus, which means dry and thirsty land. The wildlife outnumbers the people, as the area remains fairly untouched by human civilisation.

The home of the Fanjol, Beaufort West, was also the birthplace of the groundbreaking heart surgeon, Chris Barnard, and has since become the busiest town of the Central Karoo. Walking through this quirky town is like walking through history, as the Victorian and Cape Dutch architecture dominate the town centre, while the town hall and mission church have become frozen in time as national monuments. Once Beaufort West used to be a swamp, which might be hard to believe now as it surrounded by semi-desert, and this transformation has led to some of the world’s most interesting Stone Age sites. Amongst adventure activities, tourists can visit The Christiaan

Barnard Museum, which exhibits a replica of the original heart transplant theatre.

Other small towns in the area include Laingsburg, an arid village bordering the Buffels and Baviaans Rivers, and Prince Albert, known as the most visually appealing town in the Central Karoo as it lies in the bottom of a fertile valley, at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains.

The legend of a dark bottomless pool at the end of cascading waterfall belongs to Meiringspoort, a place of towering cliffs and canyons with a 25 km road at the bottom of the gorge. During this scenic drive, visitors can spot baboons, mountain antelope and many bird species, as well as the fascinating plant species that survive on the side of the cliffs.

The Karoo National Park is a diverse area of arid land and endemic wildlife, like the Cape mountain zebra, black rhino and over 20 breeding pairs of the black eagle, all of which should be relatively easy to spot in the sparse vegetation.

When mega mountain ranges meets a coastline, it creates an extraordinary area known as the Overberg. Simply meaning “over the mountain”, the

Overberg is an extensive area encompassing many towns like Arniston, Betty’s Bay, Hermanus, Swellendam and Bredasdorp. As a place of diversity, the Overberg has a flavour for everyone with the Hottentots-Holland Mountains in west, apple orchards in the Elgin Valley, Swellendam to the East and whale-watching in the Atlantic Ocean.

Beginning with the most famous attraction of the Overberg, the whale-watching: these enormous marine mammals can be spotted between June and December, usually from the popular coastal towns Hermanus and Gansbaai. The resident whale crier in Hermanus stations himself along the cliff path, and once the whales have been spotted, alerts the town with his kelp horn. When you’re tired of just looking at the ocean, you can get into it with one of the many shark-cage diving companies in Gansbaai and swim with the infamous Great White sharks. The fainthearted can visit the resident penguin colony at Betty’s Bay, stroll through the indigenous garden at Harold Porter Botanical Gardens, which boasts over 50 species

of proteas and ericas, or hike up one of the many trails in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve.

Venturing to the furthest tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, is worth the journey as, contrary to popular belief, this is the actual site where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Recently proclaimed as the Agulhas National Park, it is stretch of curved coastline and rocky beaches.

Travelling inland is just as fulfilling in this contrasting area. Situated in the midst of protea and wheat fields, Bredasdorp claims to be the first town established in South Africa and is now the heart of the Overberg, with most of the local farmers operating from there, as well as being the festive spot of the Fanjol. Visitors can understand the meaning behind the “Cape of Storms” at the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum, where cannons, chinaware and ship bells from shipwrecks along the coast are on display. For more wildlife action, the Bontebok National Park is a haven for many antelope and bird species, as well as offering hiking and walking trails.

NATIONAL SYMBOLS TRAVELLING EXHIBITION

NATIONAL SYMBOLS TRAVELLING EXHIBITION

The youth is the most important target audience of the National Symbols Travelling Exhibition. The exhibition aims to inspire national pride by assisting in forging

social cohesion and creating a vibrant South African identity. Young South Africans’ introduction to these national symbols and their origins is therefore the most important element as these represent the history and birth of our democratic nation, as well as the values enshrined within our Constitution. The inspiration of national pride amongst the youth is fundamental in achieving a sustained social cohesion.

The exhibition also serves as a reminder to all South African citizens to renew our commitment to ensuring the preservation

of our democracy and freedom that we won after the struggle. Furthermore, this exhibition will serve as a tool to unify

the people of the Western Cape, with its deeply polarised history, these national symbols become rallying points, helping us to forge feelings of patriotism and to create a sense of nationhood, regardless of race, creed or religion.

This is the target audience that was envisioned when deciding that this exhibition was meant to coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup as a legacy project. It will also introduce visitors to South Africa to our national symbols, which embody elements that are unique to our country and are defining symbols of South Africa.

The National Flag

Designed by a former South African State Herald, Mr Fred Brownell, the flag has been in official use since Freedom Day, 27 April 1994. The colours and shapes utilised in the flag embody principal elements of the country’s flag history. It is a symbol of the diversity of South African society, become the individual colours represent different meanings for different people and therefore no universal symbolism can be attached to it. The central design, the “V” extending to the end of the flag, represents the convergence of these diverse elements in South Africa.

The National Coat of Arms

A National Coat of Arms is the highest visual symbol of the State and was launched on Freedom Day, 27 April 2000. It implies the re-birth of the spirit of our nation. The motto is a Khoisan phrase meaning ‘diverse people unite’, and addresses each individual effort to harness the unity between thought and action. The rest of the elements symbolise the unity of the country and a collective call for belonging and national pride.


The National Anthem

“Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika” was composed in 1897 by Enoch Sontonga, a Methodist schoolteacher. It was originally sung as a church hymn, but later became a song of defiance against apartheid.

“Die Stem van Suid-Afrika/The Call of South Africa” was written by C.J. Langenhoven in 1918 and set to music written by the Reverend M.L. de Villiers in 1921. “Die Stem” was the co-national anthem with “God Save the King/Queen” from 1936 to 1957, when it became the sole national anthem until 1994. The Government, under Nelson Mandela, adopted “Die Stem” and “Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika” as national anthems from 1994 until they were merged in 1997 to form the current anthem.

It is the only national anthem in the world that starts in one key and finishes in another. The lyrics employ the five most populous of South Africa’s eleven official languages. This demonstrates the tireless desire of all South Africans to reconcile and promote national unity.

Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika (Lord bless Africa)Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo (May her glory be lifted high),Yizwa Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika (Lord bless Africa)Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo (May her glory be lifted high),Yizwa imithandazo yethu (Hear our petitions),Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo (Lord bless us, your children). imithandazo yethu (Hear our petitions),Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo (Lord bless us, your children). Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso (Lord we ask You to protect our nation), O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho (Intervene and end all conflicts),O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso (Protect us, protect our nation),Setjhaba sa South Africa - South Africa (Protect South Africa, South Africa).Uit die blou van onse hemel (Ringing out from our blue heavens),Uit die diepte van ons see (From our deep seas breaking round),Oor ons ewige gebergtes (Over ever lasting mountains),Waar die kranse antwoord gee (Where the echoing crags resound).Sounds the call to come together,And united we shall stand,Let us live and strive for freedom,In South Africa our land

The National Orders

National Orders are the highest awards that the president can bestow on South Africans or foreigners. The new National Orders were introduced on 27 April 2002. Their design contains indigenous and other African symbols. They denote a collective and inclusive history and experience, reflecting the spirit of a new country.

SA Sendinggestig Museum

The Suid-Afrikaanse Sendinggestig Museum, the 1804 slave chapel erected by the SA Missionary Society, is an architectural gem. The exhibitio n details Christian missions in the Western Cape and provides a starting point and orientation for touring the mission route. This new exhibition touches on the religious activities in the Cape under the Dutch East India Company and how at first the Dutch Reformed Church and later the Moravian Church tried to convert slaves to Christianity.

The church closed down in 1971 and in 1979 the Provincial Administration of the Cape of Good Hope bought the building to preserve it as a museum. Visitors can see an overview of the construction and establishment of the SA Gesticht Congregation in 1804, the first congregation for converted slaves and free black people. The exhibition addresses the unique architecture of this building as the first South African church built on a basillican plan. SA Sendinggestig Museum: 40 Long Street, Cape Town
