dbo:abstract
  • Australian rules football in Africa is most organised in South Africa, although there are programs under development in many African nations including Botswana, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe and there are plans to introduce the sport into more African countries. A handful of South Africans of European heritage have played Australian rules football professionally in the VFL/AFL with the earliest known being Aubrey MacKenzie (Melbourne 1914, St Kilda 1922–1924). Since the 1980s and increase in immigration from Africa to Australia has seen a rapid rise in the number of Africans playing in the AFL since Stephen Lawrence and Damien Cupido in the 1990s and 2000s.
