Under the authority of this government agency, and therefore subject to the principles of racial discrimination, South Africa's telecommunications infrastructure was constructed primarily to serve its white population.
As South Africa moves into its second decade of democracy, correcting the inequalities left behind by apartheid, improving the living standards of its poor, and becoming a part of the global marketplace will all be critical to South Africa's continued renaissance.

 CNN.com - S. Africa plays World Cup catch-up - May 30, 2002
Despite this large pool of talent, South Africa and its World Cup team -- the Bafana Bafana -- have been unable to make their mark on an international scale.
Only in 1991 was South Africa allowed to re-enter the international football stage, prompting the sport to get some of the focus and financing it needed.
The talent drain, together with financial constraints, means Africa, and especially South Africa, has a long way to go -- making playing the catch-up game as important as winning the game itself.
