aFrica kicks, Part TWO    
In Africa, soccer is more than just a sport. This hour BBC sportscaster Farayi Mungazi explores the role that football, as soccer is called, plays in African identity.  
FIRST HALF




In many ways, soccer is the sport in Africa. But some of its most successful athletes are leaving. The BBC’s Farayi Mungazi looks at the African soccer superstars who have left the continent and are now playing for European leagues.

 

SECOND HALF






During the apartheid era in South Africa, blacks and whites played in separate soccer leagues. Apartheid is gone, but the legacy of racism still lingers in the sport. The BBC’s Farayi Mungazi examines the impact of race on the sport South Africans call football.
