What we know
It all began on 24 January 1970, when Orlando Pirates faced off against a 17-day-old Kaizer Chiefs at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg. The game itself might, ironically, have been an insignificant third-place match between two Soweto teams, but the dynamics surrounding the encounter made it no ordinary match-up.
