Mamelodi sundowns

With a trip to South Africa imminent I thought I might be able to go see a game of footy in Pretoria. Mamelodi sundowns are the local team and by all accounts not bad (for SA domestic footy). The only worrying part is that not too many white folk go to watch footy in South Africa and a prominently black support can be daunting. I did go to a friendly game in Durban many years ago Arsenal against a local team who’s name evades me with age. The game was good even though Arsenal won and the locals were very friendly towards me and made me feel very welcome
Hopefully Ill be able to find me a scout who will look after me and show me around the H. M. Pitjie Stadium as it is called (I think). I don’t have a great head for heights so ill be staying down at pitch level. Can’t wait.
