I have to say what Marquinhos did following the UEFA Champions League final is some of the best sportsmanship I have seen in a long time. I know #Arsenal man Gabriel is his country man and close friend but to immediately do what he did, I have a huge amount of respect for him 🤝 🇧🇷

As you draw the curtain on a long career, from the rough streets of the Cape Flats to the great jazz halls of York, you showcased the great power of music fighting against a system that devalued our humanity. “Mannenberg” brought the pain of the Cape Flats to the fore and the lively community of a people forced away from their homes in District 6 to “Anthem for the new nation”which gave rhythm to the idea of a new South Africa. As you retire at 91 years the ANC appreciates your contribution to the arts, Abdullah Ibrahim.

1993 April: Muhammad Ali spars with a schoolboy in Dube, Soweto. He jokingly christened the young boy 'Joe Frazier' as a way of complimenting him, since frazier had been one of Ali's most formidable adversaries. The photograph was taken during Ali's visit to South Africa shortly after liberation icon Chris Hani had been assassinated outside his home. On the right taking a photo is boxing phenomenon 'Baby Jake' Matlala. Image Source: Through My Lens/Alf Kumalo
