A troubled past For centuries,
tribes of Africans lived in what would later become the nation of South Africa. But in the 1700s and 1800s, many Europeans settled there. They were attracted by the fertile soil for farming and natural resources, such as gold and diamonds. The black Africans and white settlers often fought each other over territory and rights. South Africa later became a colony of Great Britain. It fought with the Allies in World War I and World War II. South Africa became independent

from Britain in 1961, but the white minority wanted to stay separate from the much larger black population. This forced separation and discrimination became known as apartheid (uh-PAR-tight). Under apartheid,
blacks were not citizens and could not vote. Black children went to separate schools that weren’t as good as white schools. Many blacks were also forced to live in poor areas called “townships.”

The end of apartheid
Nelson Mandela 1918-
People throughout the world hated apartheid. The white South African government was isolated, or cut off, from much of the world. Travel and trade with South Africa were limited. South Africa was even banned from playing international soccer by FIFA. In the early 1990s, however, the white minority government began working to end apartheid. In 1994,
South Africa held its first nationwide elections. Nelson Mandela, who had spent 27 years in jail for opposing apartheid, became president. He served until 1999. He has received many honors for his work for peace.

A brighter future South Africa has struggled
with other issues since the end of apartheid. Unemployment, crime and AIDS are still difficult problems for the nation. But the
people of South Africa— black and white— now work together to solve these
problems. The 2010 World Cup is an opportunity for all South Africans to show off their national spirit to the rest of the world.

Supersport: Kasey Keller Height: 6-2 Birthdate: 11-29-69 Hometown: Olympia,Wash. A multitude of 40-year-old guys will be among the millions watching theWorld Cup in South Africa this month. But not Kasey Keller. He will be on the field as a U.S. goalkeeper—again. It will be the “Oldie” goalie’s fifth trip to appear on soccer’s biggest stage.
Keller was the U.S. Player of the Year in 1997, 1999 and 2005. The former Portland University All-American can still stop shots from point-blank range. Playing professionally in America, England, Spain and Germany, the talented veteran has amassed more victories than any other U.S. keeper. During his travels abroad, Keller broadened his perspective. He learned
foreign languages, and, along with his wife and two daughters, he once lived in a 1,000-year-old castle in Germany. Refusing to slow down, Keller settled in Seattle and played for the Sounders
of theMLS, orMajor League Soccer, this year. But this month, he wants to help the U.S. team create a stir in theWorld Cup.

This Asian sheepshead wrasse is one of the amazing creatures starring in “Oceans.”
The oceans are the stars of the Disneynature documentary movie “Oceans.” Even though they cover about three-fourths of our world, the oceans are still a mystery. We have explored so little of them that visiting their depths is almost like exploring outer space. Photographers traveled to all five
oceans in the world, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic. The life-forms in these mysterious
places range from the biggest animal ever to live on this planet, the blue whale, to the very small creatures it eats, the krill. About 80 different species, or kinds, of creatures appear in the film. One of the scariest parts of the movie is how much damage people have
done to the oceans. But the movie also shows how people are helping our oceans recover.
