Mofokeng.
South Africaโs biggest talent.
Creative, dynamic, associative, technically gifted. He brings something different to the team.
Someone needs to explain to me why he has only played 45 minutes at this World Cup.
Being South African on Twitter is a fulltime job. The moment you open your eyes, you're already on national duty, defending the country against allegations, stereotypes, & random attacks from people who've never been here. Kubi! ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐

Pan Africanists are seriously pained that Namibians don't hate South Africans.๐
So, I must hate the people I have the most in common with in this world just because you want to be a parasite???๐
Apparently we're ass licking South Africans.๐คฃ
Meanwhile, we're the ones who could just easily walk into SA illegally, but we don't. It's actually the non-asslickers who travel 40 days and 40 nights for thousands of kilos just to see what the sun in South Africa looks like.๐
Call it ass licking, dick riding or whatever but we love South Africa! Deal with it!๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ
Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.
South Africa, the cradle of human kind ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ #proudlysouthafrican
Good morning to the best nation in the world! No one, absolutely no one, can be who we are. And we have that thing maan, that thing that canโt be found anywhere. I choose South Africa over and over again. I really love it here! ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ
I can listen to Mcebo Dlamini the whole day. He reminds me of the township uncles we grew up listening to. The real freedom fighters who are not millionaires or part of the gravy train.
