Joburg has been quiet
for the past two days, no soccer action! We are now used to rushing
home, being stuck in traffic as people find their way to the stadiums.
But in all this silence I spent time at the Team Village of the
32 teams taking part in the Football
for Hope Festival which kicks off in Alexandra on Sunday.
The young people are
taking part in a mixed 5 aside tournament which has no referee and
where disagreements are resolved through dialogue. I spoke to two
young people, 17 year old Hemanta Acharya and 18 year old Mubasher
Hassan. They are part of the Football
United Team from Australia. Both are refugees. Hemanta is from
Bhutanese and Hassan is Sudanese. Other team members are from Kenya,
Iraq and Cyprus.
They are excited about
being in South Africa and looking forward to making new friends
from other teams. While they are here for the soccer tournament
they will also be learning about being good leaders and HIV/AIDS
amongst other issues.
