Laduma!: Soccer, Politics and Society in South Africa

Using archival research, interviews, newspaper and magazine articles, adverts and photos, Laduma! chronicles the impact of indigenous sporting traditions such as stick lighting, the rise of Orlando Pirates, the emergence of rivals Moroka Swallows, and the power struggles between different football associations and white authorities. Soccer influenced class and generational divisions, shaped masculine identities, and served as a mobilising force for township and political organisations. Laduma! embodies sporting history at its best and will be of interest to scholars of African history and ardent soccer fans alike.
