The text affirms that
days of Apartheid were extinguished as well as the prejudice against black football players.
the pioneers of profession football in South Africa were basically white.
there are no more organizations (professional or amateur) like the ones from the past.
in early 50’s in South Africa there weren’t amateur football clubs anymore.

the pioneers of profession football in South Africa were basically white.

C) INCORRECT: pois há de fato essas organizações esportivas, como o próprio texto fala da Arcadia from Tshwane/ Pretoria.
