 However, the true impact of his natural theatrical bent, is seen in his fine use of the dramatic potential of social and public events for spreading a message and influencing people. For example, he was extremely fond of sport, and boxed a little when he was studying at Fort Hare, going on to some more serious boxing as a  heavyweight at the Donaldson Orlando Community Centre in Soweto in the 1950s. This interest led to his effective use of the theatrical potential of sporting events for greater political and social purposes, notably the iconic moments during the 1995 Rugby World Cup victory - as explored in the film ''[[Invictus]]''.
-Another iconic moment in this respect came with the his inauguration as the first democratically elected president of South Africa, which is still, like the world cup event,  considered to be one of the major and most influential public  [[Performance|performances]] ([[Theatrical event|theatrical events]]) of the twentieth century, analyzed by many commentators over the years - perhaps only rivalled by the international outpouring of grief and respect at his passing in December 2013.
