Springboks Rugby Champs 1995

How did the Rugby team lessen the distance between the country?
How did the Rugby team (Springboks) gain support of the South Africans? Why was gaining support so important?
What was Nelson Mandela's role in uniting the country through the Rugby team? In what aspects did the game really unite the country?

Books: Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation
'The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Saved South Africa'


I need to learn more about South Africa under apartheid. Mandela was trying to unite South Africa because there was a lot of prejudice and racism going on in the country.............(I found out the information I need, but I just didn't have time to post it all)

Kati, we are commenting on your Prisoner of Her Past presentation. We really liked yours and we liked hearing different reactions to the films because we were able to hear what other people thought and compare them to our own thoughts of the movie. We thought this was really interesting and really added to your presentation. It was a creative way to do the project and was more interesting than just listening to one person talk.
