: Beloved Country: Black Men Bite
"Rugby can help lead the way to the new South Africa," insists wealthy citrus farmer and rugby club president Espie Ferreira. "If we can get blacks and whites together on the rugby field, the rest will follow automatically."The second of Christopher Terrill's documentaries about a country on the eve of democracy is entitled Black Men Bite and follows Ferreira's attempts to organise a season of rugby matches between black and white teams.
After years of apartheid, the white players anticipated the worst: some believed that the black players bite in the scrum; others decided to arm their referee and linesman with sidearms. However, despite a history of hatred, the first mixed match to be held in a township finally happened on an uneven field surrounded by barbed wire.
But Ferreira's dream of a brotherhood of rugby was short-lived. Two months into the season Chris Hani, ANC stalwart and negotiator in the forthcoming elections, was assassinated by a white right wing fanatic and the country was once again in a state of anarchy and rebellion.

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
