More Than Just a Game

MORE THAN JUST A GAME tells the incredible story of five South African men who -- despite the unsettling circumstances of their existences -- show so much love for life to pursue their passion for soccer even in the most cruel and inhuman of environments: a prison. Lizo Sitoto, Sedick Isaacs, Sipho Tshabalala, Mark Skinners and Anthony Suze, all ex-political prisoners of Robben Island jail and in-mates of Nobel Prize Nelson Mandela, are the founders of Makana FA. The football club became an honorary member of FIFA in 2007 and it has been named after the historical tribal leader Makana, one of the first to claim the respect of equality and human rights for the black majority in the South African Republic.
