Opinion - An AFL pathway for South Africans?

Nice mark by Paul Mugambwa in the WAFL recently. He's off African descent and been used in the past as an example of getting migrant African communities involved in footy.

He only started in footy as a teenager, so has taken some time to develop, playing a lot of reserves for South Fremantle, but is going pretty well now. Took an amazing mark a few years ago - and had the poise to finish off the goal.

Let's hope we see some South Africans with the same athleticism. I had one jump on my head like that in a match in South Africa a few years ago (admittedly I'm pretty short but it was a great leap).
