Welcome to the Homeless World Cup's new podcast - How to End Homelessness

Bongani Mathiso captained the South African side at the Homeless World Cup in Mexico in 2012. Now he’s working with not-for-profit organisation Oasis who helped him to turn his life around after “living the life of a lie” taking drugs and committing crime.

We spoke to him about how lessons learnt on the pitch can translate to everyday life and how important it is for politicians to understand what's happening on the ground if they’re going to tackle homelessness.
