15 year-old Lonwabo lives in Manenberg, a township of drugs and violence. "There are a lot of gangsters", explains Lonwabo's mother. But she isn't worried about her son's future, because "football is going to keep him out of this". It is hard for young boys to escape the brotherhoods of violent gangs here, but now Orient F.C offers a way out. Black, white or coloured, the players feel accepted, united by the game. This year, Orient's prize for best player is awarded to Lonwabo. His coach wants to support him all the way into Bafana Bafana. As South Africa cheers their team's opening goal of the World Cup, Lonwabo tentatively agrees: "my football...[is] a little bit good, yeah".
