Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s 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 “men”
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 “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s 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. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s 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.
So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???
HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
Tonight I will be supporting the South African national football team, Bafana Bafana. Unlike some people, I do not associate Afrophobia or xenophobia with sport. The fact that a small minority use derogatory terms such as kwerekwere does not mean that all South Africans think or behave that way.
Football should bring people together, not deepen divisions. We must be careful not to judge an entire nation, its people, or its national team based on the actions of a few individuals.
All the best to Bafana Bafana! May they emerge victorious, and may the beautiful game continue to unite Africa rather than divide it. 🇿🇦⚽️🌍
In 2023 Indonesia refused to let the Israeli U23 squad have visas
FIFA instantly moved the tournament to Argentina
In 2026 World Cup Racist USA denies entry to an African Referee
FIFA - We can’t do anything
Zuma knows his political clock is running out & he’s willing to use division to reclaim power.He has seen how xenophobia can mobilise emotions & win votes & now March and March is becoming another tool to turn black pple against each other while the real problems remain untouched
MK Party President Jacob Zuma “what has this government done for us, they’ve been in power for years”
Reality = Zuma, 9 Years As President & Ramaphosa, 8 Years. Fools think Zuma has never led this country!
Julius Malema has never been president of South Africa.
Jacob Zuma was president for 9 years and introduced ZDP now ZEP.
But somehow your Afrophobic queen convinced you Malema is the problem and encourages you to vote for Zuma as a solution. Lol can't make this 💩 up 😂
