Apartheid, rugby and black people.

In this post I am going to explain the relationship between South-Africa, rugby, apartheid and black race people. I have separated it in 4 paragraphs. In the first paragraph I am going to explain what the apartheid was. In the second one, I am going to give an explanation about the origins of rugby in this country. In the third one, I am going to clarify the history of rugby during the apartheid. Finally I will end up explaining the World Cup Championship of 1995, the first championship played by this country after Apartheid.
The apartheid was in the 20th Century, from 1921 to 1922; a phenomenon of segregation with black people in South Africa made by Dutch colonizers who were called Afrikaners. This method produced revolutions and resistance by the black race. Nelson Mandela, pacifist leader whose resistance to apartheid cost him 28 years in prison; showed the way to South Africa to end Apartheid.
The Rugby in South Africa was introduced by Dutch and Anglo-Saxon people. The official beginning of rugby dated from 1906 when the Springboks were created, the national team witch made a tour along the British Islands.
During the apartheid rugby was divided in two types of leagues: black leagues,where the black race people played; and white leagues. The best ones of the white leagues were those who played with the Springboks. For this reason, the Springboks were considered a symbol of Apartheid. One person who would like to play rugby, could only play in the league of his/her race. If you were black race person and you went to see a game of Springboks you were disqualified from your league. In 1981, the Springboks made a New Zealand tour where All Blacks played. The population of this country tries to prevent the celebration of these games. The government of New Zealand didn’t do anything and they were allowed to play the games.
South Africa during the Apartheid was disallowed to take part in the first two World Cups in 1987 and 1991. This country was readmitted in 1992 and they organized the 1995 World championship. In the first match Australia beat which was the defender of the championship. It was the first game in ages where people of both races could watch the game jointly. This game and the final which All Blacks won marked a step forward in the history of South Africa.. Moreover Nelson Mandela delivered the trophy to a white person, François Piermon; with the t-shirt of Springbok.

Things that I decided to change

As you can see, it has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog. I decided to change all of my last post because it was terribly written. I am going to rewrite this in the next two posts. In the next post I am going to write about the relationship between the rugby, apartheid and black people. On the second post Bryan Habama’s story. I decided to explain this story because I think this story reflects the development in discrimination against black people.
Today we live in a moment in history that it may become very important. This will happen if Barack Obama wins the next election to the White House in the USA. This is because they will turn into the first black person to do it.
In the early history of the United States, black people were slaves. Now, one of them might be the next president. In my opinion it is a fact that can not leave anyone indifferent. Because all of that I decided to explain this progress with the Bryan Habama’s story.
