An unlikely friendship exists between two high school boys in Rustenburg: Rapula and Attie. They are in Matric and dream of becoming professional sportsmen in rugby and soccer. The events take place while the FIFA World Cup is held in South Africa and the narrative covers a number of social aspects in South Africa: disrupted families, discrepancy between rich and poor, tolerance/intolerance in mixed communities, and the effects of unemployment. Winner of a Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature (Sotho languages) 2011.
