Matthew Booth (South African Football | Former Bafana Bafana Defender and Pundit)
South African sport, culture and community in one episode
Two compelling South African stories in one episode: the Joburg July, a brand-new horse-racing, fashion and music event launching on 25-26 July at Turfontein Racecourse, and a career retrospective with former Bafana Bafana defender Matthew Booth, covering resilience, mental toughness and the state of South African football. If you care about Johannesburg tourism, local culture, South African sport or personal development through sport, this episode is for you.

Ntombi Msiza explains how the Joburg July was born from a government drive to boost Johannesburg winter tourism, and what makes it more than a race day. The event combines nine horse races, a fashion showcase featuring local designers from Soweto, Malawi, Nigeria and Tanzania, a classic and modern car show, live music from artists including Jesse Clegg and Mango Groove, and traditional South African food. Msiza also shares how four orphanages, including one for disabled children, are being brought to the event as sponsored guests, and how Soweto Tourism is a key community partner. Ticket prices, hospitality packages and shuttle logistics are covered in full.

Matthew Booth traces his football journey from Fishoek to Cape Town Spurs, the Ajax Cape Town project, Mamelodi Sundowns, a brief stint at Wimbledon FC, six years playing professional football in Russia with FC Rostov and Krylia Sovetov Samara, and his return to Sundowns under Patrice Motsepe. He reflects honestly on being left out of Bafana Bafana during his peak Russian years, sitting on the bench throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup despite playing every game at the 2009 Confederations Cup, and what mental discipline he used to stay ready. His advice on perseverance, taking personal responsibility and the urgent need for mental skills training in South African youth football is practical and direct.

The episode closes with a book review of 'The Last Bell: Life and Death in Boxing' by Donald McRae, published by Simon and Schuster in 2026, covering Tyson Fury, Katie Taylor and the brutal beauty of professional boxing.
