This thesis analyzes the construction of the public memory of Arthur Ashe, well known African American tennis player, breaker of racial barriers, activist, and humanitarian, through a discussion of a sampling of public displays that present his life and legacy. In particular, it analyzes two of the most prominent commemorations: the Arthur Ashe exhibit at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum and the Arthur Ashe monument in Richmond, Virginia. Using newspapers, unpublished manuscript material, oral histories, and material culture, this thesis illustrates that both sport and society remember and memorialize Arthur Ashe the man, not the athlete. In doing so, this thesis explores how Arthur Ashe, himself, played a role in shaping the public dynamics of his legacy. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of History in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Spring Semester, 2010. / April 1, 2010. / International Tennis Hall of Fame, Race, Tennis, African American Athletes, Public History, Contested Memory, Collective Memory, Monument Avenue, Richmond / Includes bibliographical references. / Jennifer Koslow, Professor Directing Thesis; Andrew Frank, Committee Member; James Jones, Committee Member.

Thesis (DTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010. / Media reports show that South Africa is engulfed by the clouds of abject poverty and unemployment. These conditions lead to many social ills: hunger, a lack of self esteem, the poor performance of children at school due to malnutrition and the general low morale within communities. This condition seems to worsen as one moves towards the rural areas. As a result, the government has embarked on a number of projects in an attempt to help the destitute. This requires support from all South Africans. In view of the above, this study aimed to investigate the possibility of developing sustainable education and employment opportunities in the hospitality industry through the provision of cultural tourism at a proposed homestead Lodge. The study's objectives were firstly to explore the possibility of offering development in the form of sustainable education in the rural community of Shobeni village, located along the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Secondly, the study aimed to explore the possibility of establishing a Homestead Lodge at Shobeni to provide employment opportunities to the community, while facilitating tourist access to an authentic rural experience. Lastly, it wanted to examine the possibility of linking to a teaching institution such as the Durban University of Technology to ensure the continuity of fresh ideas through research and education. The data collected revealed that the rural villages are rich in cultural tourism. The approach taken for data collection was of a qualitative nature, as thirty study participants were interviewed based on their knowledge of the subject under study. For the analysis of field data an auto/ethnographic approach was adopted. further exercise was completed to select the kind of cultural products deemed suitable for such a project. A participatory approach was employed to ensure that the community had a say in the decision-making process. The study concluded that it is possible to create a project of this nature. The recommendation is that the implementation stage should start immediately after all stakeholders have been consulted.

This research study investigated the impact of mobile technology on operational success of the hospitality industry SMMEs in South Africa under the prevailing socio-economic conditions.
