How the World Cup touched St Mark's

Solomon and the Men for the Master check things out the SABC Broadcast Centre in Sandton.

Some may not have realised it, but the 2010 FIFA World Cup sparked many activities in and around St Mark's in June. Your scribe is still up to his neck in production, so much of the fun has not been recorded on our Blog. Thank goodness for Marianne and the Men for the Master team, who dutifully captured a host of images, which we will share with you today.

Let's scroll back to the 6th June 2010 when the Men for the Master organised a clean-up day and five-a-side soccer tournament to drive the World Cup spirit. Many chores were completed, repairing the notice boards in the foyer and sign writing the address of the on the wall above Solomon's car park. This done, a braai and soccer tournament followed. The youngsters were out in force in their colourful kit, and supervised by coaches Mangena, Eyong and Tem, the action got underway on the school fields. We're not too sure who won, but perhaps that's a good thing.

That's the view from the stands in the studio. The Review 2010 show is rehearsing.

The Men for the Master who attended the Ghana vs USA game, popped into the SABC studios in Sandton before the game, to see how the production was put together. And would you believe it two of the team appeared on national TV on the Tjovitjo show? Samuel you have a career ahead of you in broadcasting.
