so is it saying that south africa is made up of a bunch of convicts?

[lungza]

@x78TuddysChuffy NO , During apartheid , when black people were oppressed by the afrikaners (white South africans ) , they founded comfort in playing soccer , Robben Island is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 yrs , cause he was fighting for freedom and equality of all South Africans ......................they are just reflecting on history and the events that made this country become what it is today .......
