In 1996, South Africa won the Africa Cup of Nations, bringing sporting joy to a country still recovering from Apartheid.

It was the Bafana Bafana team's first victory at an international football tournament.

In 2015, two members of the multi-racial side, Phil Masinga and Mark Fish, spoke to Will Yates.
