“In South African football, the sounds, language, moves and styles of supporters in the stands are often more colourful and creative than the action on the pitch. The top supporter’s accessory is the makarapa, a customised miner’s hard hat that Alfred ‘The Magistrate’ Baloyi, 57, claims to have invented. Baloyi, who lives in a squatter camp near Johannesburg, first put a Stanley knife and blowtorch to work on a yellow helmet in 1979, to honour his team, the Kaizer Chiefs. He now makes a living from his invention.” (Guardian)
