Yesterdayโs FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africaโs international reputation and decades of goodwill.
All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are โmenโ
Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust.
Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a โrush to go home and defend their jobs and womenโ or how โThey canโt attack Mexico because they are not African and Blackโ - this is not only banter, itโs political satire
It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively.
The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. Itโs not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. Itโs a stain.
South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010.
Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.
As we talk now, we donโt have Ebola in the country. Even the Congolese patient we have been treating has tested negative.
