I'm in the USA an always try to wear unique and different sports jerseys (to keep these young kids guessing, and if lucky, do some Googling on sports history). I just bought a South African sports Jersey in 2023. I put on the back #11 and simply "CHESTER"
I am doing a research to my next podcast at work and my thoughts wandered back to my times at Military Academy. For one faculty I wrote a paper about apartheid, about people's path to liberation. To be honest, I was inspired by this movie. I watched the film and I bought the book to get the bigger picture and... I knew, that I had to put the injustice-frustration down on paper. I was lucky enough to have a lecturer (teaching from the heart) who supported me in writing process and actually admired my work. And for that, I will be eternally grateful. But in this movie, this one scene that breaks me every time. No explanation necessary. Am I crying? Yes, yes I am.
Having the team tour the country giving clinics was part of Mandela's brilliance in getting what was originally a team for whites accepted as a team for all, and also to get the team to think of themselves as representatives of the entire nation.
Today I saw a Gwijo video from a school in SA supporting the springboks in this saturday's final. I saw black and white students singing in Xhosa for their rugby team and I cannot help but to shed some tears, thinking how powerful is forgiveness when people with vision sees beyond hatred. All because of Mandela's vision.

@Dude: We all should try to show love to each, because for the most part, we have it inside. History also shows us that the world works better this way. Not because God (who doesn't exist) wants to.
Hello Restless, this song is called The Crossing by Johnny Clegg (who unfortunately just passed away from brain cancer a few months ago, here is his version: ruclips.net/video/aBpMHxtZeMA/видео.html&feature=emb_title When he became sick, all the biggest names in South African music (including his son) came together and recorded a new version, and it is here: ruclips.net/video/WKWEEpA0HkY/видео.html (In my humble opinion, the artist Dave Matthews at 2:37 is the best of the bunch, he's South African but has lived in America most of his life and is one of the best musicians on earth, look him up, Dave Matthews Band. Hope this helps and I love that you love this song too! Makes me cry each time I hear it! :-)
@@mav40420 I played both "American" "FOOT"ball" and rugby on middle school and highschool as wide receiver and running back in "American" "FOOT"ball and as Inside center and left wing in rugby, i did not get a schollarship coz the college i choose did not have a rugby or "American" "FOOT"ball team, and the only one who offer me the scholarship did not have the degree that I wanted to study. I even passed down the torch to my little brother who is now on a college team.
It's "bokke", the Afrikaans shorthand for "Springboks" which is the nickname of the team. So Pienaar is getting the kids to chant for the "Bokke", in other words to get behind the national team. I can only guess the reply from the kids is the equivalent of "yeah" or "go" or similar?

@@zam3072 je suis Français, ton Français est très bon. "Tout le temps"instead of "à tout temps" is the correct translation , but the rest is perfect mon ami :)
Can somebody please explain why those kids didn't want to wear South African rugby jerseys, but still cheered the black guy playing with white guys in a sport symbolising apartheid?

I was blessed enough to know Chester Williams...was such an amazing soul...
Do you know if he was actually a "cape coloured" ?
@@amina-pr8xt based on his name, probably. Also hes from the western cape.

RIP Chester WIlliams. Taken from this earth far too young. Thank you for the memories and the inspiration.
What a shame that he couldn't have seen the incredible performance of the Springbok today. RIP
@@ag9652 - the Boks played great today. Congratulations from England
Whaaat Chester is dead??? 😭😭😭😭
This is the best scene in the film, amazing. Thank you.
Lovely scene without beeing cheezy ! And without knowing a word, the music speaks right to the soul.

Yeah it a awesome scene
Great scene. Matt Damon's South African accent was excellent
Turbo9987 better than Leonardo’s pathetic attempt
@@sliat1981 He tried to do a Rhodesian accent.

Matt Damon is a amazing actor
One Team ! One Country !

Wow amazing. We all should try to show love to each other because God wants us to show love to people

The end of Johnny Clegg & Savuka's The Crossing or Yollandi Nortjie's The Crossing on the Invictus soundtrack
Besides holy religious personalities, only Mandela could bring such unity
Beautiful song
Beautiful.
Someone please tell what the song is

@@christopherhamilton8298he died of pancreatic cancer
does anybody know the name of the track?
The song is called "The Crossing" by Overtone. You can find all the songs on the Invictus soundtrack ;)
Rugby > "American" "FOOTball"
Don't disrespect the sport cause you not good at it jus shows how shit you are at any sport you fuck

Both sports are cool
Rugby and American football are both great sports
@@3kmek937 agree, but Rugby is played and loved by all the world, its popular in all the world.
help required : what word do they repeat at the end of the scene?
It's "bokke", the Afrikaans shorthand for "Springboks" which is the nickname of the team. So Pienaar is getting the kids to chant for the "Bokke", in other words to get behind the national team. I can only guess the reply from the kids is the equivalent of "yeah" or "go" or similar?
Actually the reply is just "YES" isn't it!? I did the hard part and failed at the easy bit. 😄
What is the background song?
I hope it can do like that in Indonesian

Sadly since Mandela died, South Africa has gone to the dogs
We have this problem in Australia. Immigrants coming in and being closed minded to any sport that isn’t soccer
hey thats the American way
Ash Carmody Americans play soccer
No, but we pretty much say fuck anything thats not football, baseball or basketball
Ash Carmody 3 different sports. Better than the close minded attitude of immigrants to poofterball
aussie rules football is the best and alot of people who have immigrated here love it
No one likes Invictus now, thanks VCAA
When you have to write multiple comparative essays on Invictus and Ransom...I feel ya mate :((
Can somebody please explain why those kids didn't want to wear South African rugby jerseys, but still cheered the black guy playing with white guys in a sport symbolising apartheid?
itsjemmabond that was one kid. And Mandela was now openly supporting them
I guess it’s the fact that Chester represents them out of the group. Chester sadly passed away last week
