The Bantu Sports Club

The Bantu Sports Club

The Bantu ["Bantu" literally means "people." Because it was used extensively by state officials and in state departments overseeing the implementation of apartheid, "Bantu" achieved a pejorative value in South Africa, where it is seldom (if ever) used today. Originally the word referred to a system of related languages distributed throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, all of whom use "-ntu-" (as in "abantu", "umuntu").] Sports Club was built on land donated in 1925 by Howard Pim in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Sports Club comprised a club house, tennis courts, football (soccer) fields, and stands for 5,000 spectators [http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/library-resources/online%20books/Luli/Working-Life/Unit8/Topics.htm] .
