Football World Cup – South Africa 2010

This month everything will turn round the Football World Cup. A real sport feast where many countries come together. Since the beginning of the 19th Century, football has been very popular among teams formed by people from the same village or town. Although considered vulgar and banned by Kings and Queens, it has not only survived but also become the most popular sport ever.

We talked about the Aparthteid, separateness and racial segregation that was introduced in South Africa after the general elections of 1948. Racial groups were divided and classified into black, white, coloured and Indian. Each group had its own neighbourhoods, education, medical care,public services which were much more inferior to those the White race had. Nelson Mandela was the man who led South Africa to democracy and fought for the freedom of the oppressed races. He spent 27 years in prison. The pupils of 6th form “C” and “D” are glad to present these activities.

Este mes, julio, todo gira sobre el mundial. Un deporte que une a varios países. Desde el comienzo del siglo 19, el fútbol ha sido considerado el deporte más popular. En la antigüedad era considerado vulgar y hasta prohibido por reyes y reinas.

En clase hablamos sobre el Aparthteid, segregación racial, que fue introducida en Sudáfrica luego de las elecciones de 1948. Los grupos raciales estaban divididos en negros, blancos, de color e indios. Cada grupo tenía su propio vecindario, educación, servicio médico y demás servicios, los cuales eran de menor calidad que los otorgados a los blancos. Nelson Mandela fue un luchador que condujo a Sudáfrica a la democracia, estuvo en prisión 27 años. Alumnos de 6to. Grado “C” y “D” les quieren mostrar actividades que han realizado.
