We have the pleasure in sharing this thrilling football documentary trailer with you. SOKA AFRIKA depicts an incredible story of two young guys, Kermit Erasmus of South Africa and Ndomo Sabo of Cameroon, who both hold the colourful utopia of a dream in making a name for themselves in European football.
Brought up in a working class home in Port Elizabeth, Erasmus' story begins in Holland, where the youngster signed a contract with Feyenoord. He settled in comfortably in Rotterdam and, from his apartment, he could see the Erasmus railway which links the northern and southern halves of the city, a sign, he felt, that his career was meant to start there. An indication of how quickly it took off was evident in that, before Erasmus had even turned 20-years old, he had enough money to contemplate whether to buy a Mini Cooper or a Golf GTI and even had the funds to consider investing in his own home.
Good omens like that were absent from Ndomo's voyage, which was dotted with dubiousness from the start. After being spotted in Yaounde, he was promised a contract in Paris and the agent who picked him up convinced his family to sell their possessions to pay for the flight to France. Not knowing that this was not usual procedure, Ndomo's family gambled with their modest wealth because they believed their faith in their talented son would pay off. It might have, had Ndomo been properly managed, but on arriving in Europe he had no club to sign for (or even train with) and was soon abandoned and left to fend for himself on the streets.
