And to end off the Friday edition of Sakhisizwe we had an interview with Phillip Bam talking to us about a soccer tournament for the blind. South Africa’s blind community can look forward to a number of sporting and recreational activities. The game is played with a small soccer ball that rattles sending out sound and is the guide for the players.
