@YoungFootballl@Ndembo243 No,Egypt has built a football system where players don't have to depend on Europe for development. Their domestic league provides the competition,exposure and experience needed to develop quality players. Rsa are also showing why investing in your own football structures matters.
@YoungFootballl@Ndembo243 Egypt took 25 players to the World Cup who were born and developed in Egypt. You're seriously making an argument over ONE player out of 26 who was born in France? Do you even hear yourself? That's 1 out of 26, and somehow you think that invalidates my point?.
@EmmyYice@APOPfzn@Olatu125 This is recent, The game was played on 13 October 2026, and just look at the state of that pitch. Absolutely world-class! Meanwhile, Nigeria is still struggling to figure out what it takes to produce a playing surface half this good.
Ten years ago, Sibaya was a large piece of land on the KZN North Coast with development rights and little else. Today it’s one of the province's busiest construction zones, with developments across all the asset classes.
Tongaat Hulett had the development rights in place. DEVMCO was the first developer to break ground, building 260 apartments that sold for over R800 million in a single day. When Tongaat Hulett hit financial trouble and business rescue, DEVMCO bought the rest of the precinct from them. Then they privatised the roads, power and water.
I sat down with Schalk Theunissen, Managing Director of DEVMCO, the developer that now runs the precinct, to find out how it got here.
The scale is hard to picture until you’ve driven through it:
• Size: 1000 hectares
• +-350 hectares of that is coastal forest
• Commercial space planned: 300,000 to 400,000 m²
• Roughly 12,000 residents once it’s fully built, which Schalk hopes will take no longer than 10 to 15 years
• About 700 hotel rooms planned to open in the next 2-3 years
• Amenities: restaurants, indoor/outdoor play areas for kids, 8km of cycling & running trails, clubhouses, gyms, padel courts, lawn bowls, four swimming pools
When the airport moved from Durban’s south side to the north coast, businesses followed. A special economic zone around it brought in corporates like Toyota and other big industrial companies, and their people need homes and offices nearby.
Schalk says the last six months have been DEVMCO’s best sales period ever, and they have almost no stock left. Some of that demand is people leaving Cape Town. The money that buys you a 30m² unit there buys you about 60m² here, and he says rental returns are very similar. He’s also seeing foreign buyers come in for the first time. Historically, they’ve all gone to Cape Town.
Capri Village is DEVMCO’s retirement offering inside Sibaya aimed at individuals 55+. They recently launched their final phase with 77 homes. Previous phases 1, 2 and 3 sold out.
You can invest in 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units ranging from 111 m2 to 204 m2. An operator provides a dedicated nurse who knocks on doors, checks in on residents, takes blood pressure and sends families a monthly update.
I’m impressed by how much has been built here in a decade. Looking forward to seeing how this precinct continues to develop.
@scrumming_ten@Alulu25 For someone who supposedly has a higher IQ than Black people, you'd think understanding the difference between playing abroad and changing national allegiance would be easy. But here you are, confidently displaying a lack of basic understanding😂
@iDiskiTimes Bross was nothing but a hater when it came to Mofokeng. He knew the boy was talented, but his ego was too big to admit the truth. He'd rather discredit greatness than give credit where it was due.🤣
@ChibuikeOz7@AdekunleIs0506@tboy_cfc@AfricaFactsZone Imagine thinking all 19 million PSL viewers are South Africans. 😂 Your favourite European league doesn't have 8 billion viewers either, but you have no problem acknowledging its global audience. Why is that logic suddenly difficult when it comes to the PSL?
@ChrisExcel102 At this point Nota must just save himself from the embarrassment. It's obvious he won't be a happy man with this one on his side. He should leave her while he's still got some little dignity left.😂🤣🤣
@UpEleme South Africans are supposedly lazy, yet Nigerians are supposedly hardworking. Funny how the so-called lazy ones have a more developed country to show for it, while the hardworking ones are still struggling to make theirs livable😂

@KevinG44333744@AfricaFactsZone Brother, I'm not in my province right now. What I see with my own eyes is people wearing Sundowns, Pirates, Chiefs jerseys far more than European jerseys. And most European jerseys you see in SA are worn by illegal immigrants. That's a fact, not an opinion.
