The AfricaSoccer Team would like to thank all our clients who worked at our Cape Town studio, and particularly the SBS production team from Australia who presented their World Cup live show daily from our rooftop position.  They embraced every aspect of South Africa during this event, including amassing vuvuzelas, makarabas, and South African slang which will soon find its way into the Australian vocabulary.  We hope to work with you again in the future!

A massive thank you also to our fantastic crew, suppliers and partners who made it all possible.  

AfricaSoccer will continue to provide facilitation services throughout the region so contact us for all your broadcasting needs on the southern tip of Africa.

MARIO AND THE RUDE BOYS (52 mins,  HD, Documentary)
  

Rarely does one uncover an epic struggle by an unsung hero to save young minds from a hopeless existence.  Mario and the Rude Boys is such a rarity. 
While the eyes of the world are dazzled by soccer stars shimmering in the spotlight of the 2010 World Cup, this inspirational story quietly unfolds on the outskirts of Cape Town, one of the host cities.

Meet Mario van Niekerk, a reformed gangster who created Great Commission United (GCU), a soccer academy dedicated to winning the hearts and minds of youth through the power of the beautiful game.  Entirely funded by donations, Mario has recruited other reformed gang members to coach the boys, acting as positive role models and mentors.
