Invictus Movie
Mandela shook things up in the days leading up to the championship match
by proudly wearing the Springboks' number 6 jersey. He also appealed to
Black communities to cheer on the squad. The charismatic statesman
mobilized his countryman towards a mutual goal and against a common
(sports) adversary. The day after South Africa won the World Cup the
Sowetan, a Black township paper, boasted the Xhosa word for "Our
Springboks" in its headline: "Amabokoboko!"
