The League on the Island - Always Gold

What this episode covers

How political prisoners on Robben Island built a democracy from a football league.Between 1966 and 1991, political prisoners on Robben Island built and ran a competitive football league with a written constitution, trained referees, and a formal appeals process. The men who built it included a future Deputy Chief Justice of South Africa. This is the story of the Makana Football Association — and the direct line from a referee's notebook in a prison cell to the Constitution of a democratic republic. Hosted on Acast.
