@AsanteOnBoards @KemiOwonibi South Africa is a very diverse country.
Most of the keyboard warriors that you engage with here on social medias, are the jobless people who contribute nothing to the economy.
When you go to the country, youโll meet resourceful & welcoming people like no other place in Africa.
Reading the comments, some people have missed the point that other non-Black finalists born in South Africa to foreign parents do not face the same backlash.
This discrepancy underscores the deeper issue of internalized racism and the lasting effects of apartheid's divisive tactics. The divide-and-conquer strategy employed by white supremacists during apartheid sowed deep divisions within the Black community in South Africa. Today, these divisions manifest as xenophobia and in-fighting, as seen in this case.
True healing will require addressing these entrenched mentalities, and itโs clear that many are not yet ready for that honest conversation.
Sad!
@GaytonMcK Dear Minister, I honestly don't support your decision to cancel trips for our super fans. Mama Joy and others like her serve as brand ambassadors for South Africa. Their presence at international events is invaluable, not just for the players, but for us back home as well. They bring our spirit, our culture, and our passion for sport to the global stage.
This decision seems quite emotional and short-sighted. Letโs be real, we donโt have many black South Africans who can afford to travel and support our teams internationally. For many, Mama Joy represents more than just a cheerleader; she symbolizes our dreams and our unity. She carries the hope and spirit of millions who are unable to be physically present but support our teams with all their hearts.
Moreover, cancelling these trips overlooks the positive impact these super fans have on our national morale. Their enthusiasm is contagious, not just for the players on the field, but also for those watching from home. They serve as a tangible connection between the team and the supporters, bridging a gap that would otherwise remain vast.
There are also economic reasons to consider. Super fans often attract media attention, putting South African sports in the international spotlight, which can lead to increased tourism and sponsorship opportunities. The ripple effect is far-reaching.
In essence, these super fans are not just individuals who love sports; they are vital cogs in the wheel of our national pride and identity. Instead of cancelling their trips, perhaps we should look for sustainable ways to support their efforts
