Playing the enemy

Nelson Mandela and the game that made a nation

Describes how early in his presidency Mandela sought to symbolically unite South Africa's black and white citizens by having the nation host rugby's first World Cup. He enlisted South Africa's national team, the Springboks, to participate, and the team's improbable run to the World Cup finals attracted and united many fans, black and white.
