Beyond Master Narratives
Drawing mainly on a set of oral and written primary sources situated in their proper historical and geographical context, this article explores how multiple forms of agency and memory shaped the history of sport, apartheid and liberation in South Africa. In doing so, it argues that a new revisionist history is needed in order to problematize the entrenched ‘master narrative’ of South African sport history, which privileges national redemption and…
The Izichwe Football Club
This article reconstructs the ‘hidden’ history of Izichwe Football Club, a not-for-profit grassroots initiative that ran from 2010 to 2016 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Using oral interviews, media accounts and participant observation, it explores how community-based coaches fused Zulu cultural inheritances with specialised sports knowledge to train young athletes, assist them with secondary education and promote a civic-minded masculinity. …

Despite the presence and achievements of individual African footballers in Europe’s top leagues and the improvements in communication technology (the Internet and satellite television, among others), African football remains offlimits and a mystery to most Western media observers as well as Western fans.1 Selective and deficient media coverage of the continental game also has much to do with it. Consequently, before the 2010 World Cup, South Afri…
From Apartheid to Unity
This article analyses the complex process that deracialised and democratised South African football between the early 1970s and 1990s. Based mainly on archival documents, it argues that growing isolation from world sport, exemplified by South Africa's expulsion from the Olympic movement in 1970 and FIFA in 1976, and the reinvigoration of the liberation struggle with the Soweto youth uprising triggered a process of gradual desegregation in the Sou…

A biography of Darius Dhlomo
This biographical study of Darius Dhlomo begins to uncover the sporting past of a transnational and iconoclastic South African footballer. Based on the author’s interviews with Dhlomo, archival documents, articles from the black press, and a wide range of secondary sources, this essay deepens our understanding of broader processes of change in South African football between the 1940s and the 1960s. In striking, even surprising, ways Dhlomo’s care…

The Political Economy of Mega-Stadiums and the Underdevelopment of Grassroots Football in South Africa
As South Africa prepares to host the 2010 World Cup finals, public and scholarly discourses have largely overlooked the consequences of interactions between global sport, professional leagues, and grassroots football. Yet analysing this dynamic is important because it challenges bold claims made by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and South African boosters about the 2010 World Cup's capacity to deliver economic, polit…
