1000 African Voices

This episode features Ryan Botha, Ex Professional Soccer Player, Magazine Cover guy and Co-owner of Pointbreak Fitness Centre in Cape Town.

Ryan went to #ManchesterUnited before signing for South Africa's Supersport United FC at the age of 18 and Wits University FC a year later. He has also played for Finland's FC #Tervarit, #FCMypa and #FCInter before moving to Turkey to join #FCDenizlispor. Other teams he has played for include ENP in Cyprus, Thanda Zulu Royals, Moroka Swallows, Platinum Stars and Vasco Da Gama. He is without a doubt, the quintessential definition of a footballing journeyman.

In this episode we talk about his studies (professional coaching), unable to shake off the label of South Africa's #davidbeckham, lessons from his travels and his love of Cape Town. What does he love about South African football and what would he change?
