Despite the name of Soma these guys were white, right?

They are actually mixed race ancestry, which we call Coloured in Southern Africa, as Basil D'Oliveira was.

And I really think it's too late for them to make a comeback now, after so many years out of the game. I don't even know if they are still around; I haven't seen them since their playing days. I didn't know Andre well, but Leon was a really nice guy.

Facebook seems to suggest they are still in Zimbabwe to some degree.

ZCF has spoken. 100% of forumites agree that the Soma brothers should make comebacks!

Let's make it happen, just like #Moormania and #Burlmania
