South African soccer has advanced through decades of denial and disadvantage, through the liberation struggle, to a point where it is now recognised as the country's number one national sport. The largest number of registered players (1.8 million). The highest television audiences. The greatest number of spectators, week after week. These are the measures of success. Today - we sit down with SA football stars who played just before 1994 and post democracy. Players who saw and felt the transition into democracy, integrating the ‘New South Africa’ kind of football.
