The Bafokeng live on the biggest platinum deposits in the world, a resource that has transformed the once-traditional tribe into a mini-state.

President Thabo Mbeki has expressed his satisfaction with the upgrading of the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg for the Soccer World Cup.

A win for the Black Leopards on Wednesday will not get them out of the relegation zone and victory for Mamelodi Sundowns will not take them in to the top half of the Absa Premiership table. That is what both teams want and obviously won't get. However, victory will take them closer to their destinations.
