Dutch media & private companies doing a better job of ensuring accountability for apartheid than Cyril Ramaphosa who appointed apartheid politicians as:
Ambassador to Washington (Roelf Meyer)
Minister of Correctional Services (Pieter Groenewald)
Presidential parliamentary advisor (Koornhof)
Saying South Africans, one of the most diverse countries in the world where people live, work and marry into other tribes/religions/races/same sex, are tribalistic tells me 1 of 2 things;
1) you don’t know what tribalism is & what it looks like;
2) you need to touch grass.
When I moved to CPT in 2021, the girl who lived next door at res was a Xhosa girl who had no idea who Tsonga people are. I remember she asked if we had a beach in Giyani and whether Giyani was in S.A.
She had a masters in sociology.
There’s no limits to intentional ignorance.😅

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there
Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games
I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history
I still think Bafana Bafana could have done a “chasing the sun” kind of documentary, first World Cup in 10 years , you get all the piano cats to cook a song. You talk about the rebuilding the squad , the new coach coming in failed qualifiers etc.
