'The atmosphere is something special': Soweto derby brings the best (and worst) of SA football
The Soweto derby between rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates divides the two team's rivals and unite the country behind the biggest sporting event in Mzansi. The Soweto derby is the hero, villain, and sidekick in the story of South African football.
The protagonists in the two teams behind the country's biggest sporting event helped revive the beautiful game in 2007 when it was on life support. But the derby's power also contributed to SA football glossing over the loss of two lives in 2017 in one of the many much-anticipated instalments of meetings between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
