Crescents is turning 80!

Long have we withstood.

Long have we entrenched non racialism and used sport as a mechanism towards nation building.

Help us make sure we develop cricket further in Lenasia and surrounding areas.

Prof Noor Nieftagodien says non racial sports was one of the biggest social movements in the 80s in South Africa. #nonracialsports

[Kathrada Foundation @KathradaFound]

Nieftagodien says that preserving historical records and oral history about #nonracialsports is about bridging gaps between generations.

[Kathrada Foundation @KathradaFound]

Nieftagodien asks how do we create community archives to preserve history at a broader scale.

Also notes the emphasis placed on 'elite' sports today at the expense of commitment to activism and community based sports.
