In "Map1mp1: The Makazole Mapimpi Story," we delve into an inspiring journey. Makazole Mapimpi, the first South African to score a Try in a Rugby World Cup Final in 2019, overcame immense challenges. From crafting rugby balls out of plastic bags as a child to lifting the William Webb Ellis Cup, his rise is remarkable. Narrated by the award-winning Xhosa sports journalist, Sibusiso Mjekeliso, the film offers an intimate look into South African culture, challenges, and the raw talent that emerged from adversity. We trace Mapimpi's path from a rural village to international rugby stardom, showing how one moment can inspire an entire generation in South Africa. This is a story of hope rising from despair.
