He fought for the eradication of the color ban in sport, toward creating unity in the sporting arena and advocating for the selection of teams that would be based on merit. Ramsamy insisted that athletes that of all races must be given an equal opportunity to participate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ramsamy was the founding member of the South African Council for Sport, established in 1973. In 1976, he became Chairperson of the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee (SANROC) and in 1978 was named the Executive Chairman of SANROC. The two sports organizations were united in their purpose in pursuing an international sports ban on South Africa\u2019s athletes and by doing so, fostered greater global support for the resistance against apartheid. Following the Soweto uprisings in 1976, Ramsamy petitioned countries to formalize a boycott of South African Sports, which culminated in the Gleneagles Agreement of 1977.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\">During the transition to democracy, he encouraged international support for the black sports body, the National Olympic Committee of South Africa and became its head in 1991.\u00a0 He led the first non-racial South African team to the Olympic Games in 1992 Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ramsamy continued his mission in sports in South Africa, becoming a member of the IOC, FINA, numerous commissions, and serving in various roles. Currently, Ramsamy is FINA\u2019s First Vice President, since May 2021, after serving many years as Second Vice-President (2017-2021) Vice President (2004-2017) and Bureau Member (1996-2004).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\">Come join Ramsamy and this year\u2019s spectacular class of 2023 in Ft.
