South Africa asks Beijing to host the BRICS summit

Guest: Dr Francois Cleophas | Associate Professor of Sports History at Stellenbosch University

Africa Melane speaks to Dr Francois Cleophas from Stellenbosch University on the role of sport in shaping South Africa’s national identity, as Bafana Bafana head into a crucial match. The conversation explores whether football still unites the country in meaningful ways, or whether the idea of sport as a nation-building tool has become more symbolic than real in a complex and evolving society.

More than a game, what football says about the nation

Africa Melane speaks to Sizwe Mbebe, Soccerbeat editor and football analyst, as they unpack Bafana Bafana’s final Group A performance, analysing the key moments, tactical decisions and what the result means for the future of South African football.

South Africa's soccer team is gearing up for a crucial match against Canada in the FIFA World Cup, and the excitement is palpable. The team's impressive performance so far has left many wondering if they're truly ready to take on the best in the world. In this episode, our analyst breaks down the team's chances and shares some surprising facts about their preparation.

The team's coach, Hugo Bruce, has been praised for selecting a squad that's almost entirely made up of players from local teams in South Africa. This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the team's success in the past six years. They're one of the few teams in the World Cup with over 90% of their players based in their home country. But can they keep up with the top teams in the tournament?
