The project explores how sport and religion interact to provide meaning and purpose for young Africans in 'waithood.' It aims to understand this relationship through case studies in various sports and religious contexts, focusing on youth development and cultural integration.
Many young African lives are paused in ‘waithood’ (Honwana 2012): no longer children but unable to become independent adults.
Many manage this situation through sport, religion, or both.
