Background
After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902). The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and ushered in black majority rule.

Out of favour with previous coaches, Bartlett is the focus of many attacks and although he wins little in the air he can get shots in from awkward angles to surprise goalkeepers.

Top Scorer in the 2000 African Cup of Nations.
