The deleted article headline was
“after a recent rise in anti-immigrants protests and xenophobia in South Africa, the Nigerian government organized repatriation for citizens returning to Nigeria" @mailandguardian
We’ve seen similar reporting on immigration. Headlines repeatedly frame concerns as “anti-immigrant” or “xenophobic,” even when many people are specifically talking about illegal immigration and the enforcement of existing laws.@SAEditorsForu
Journalism should inform the public, not selectively shape the narrative. Accuracy, context and accountability matter, especially on issues as sensitive as immigration. Something needs to be done about @mailandguardian they can’t get away with this.
In January 2015 @DreamfieldsP launched our very first DreamLeague at Setlabotjha Primary in Sebokeng. 146 learners signed up for to play 5-a-side football so they could learn the game. Last night in Monterrey one of those boys, Thapelo Maseko, made all our dreams come true
At 16, Prof. Musawenkosi Donia Saurombe began her studies at NWU. By 23, she became Africa’s youngest female PhD graduate. Today she is a full professor. 💜

Thierry Henry on South Africa qualifying for the World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever:
🗣️ “This is why we love football. Tonight isn't just a victory for South Africa. Tonight is history. An entire nation has waited for a moment like this, and now it finally belongs to them.”
“When the final whistle blew, you could see the emotion everywhere. The players, the staff, the fans. These are the moments people remember for the rest of their lives.”
“Many people didn't believe South Africa would get this far. They were underestimated before the tournament started, but they kept fighting, kept believing, and now they have achieved something no South African team has ever achieved before.”
“Look at those players. Some of them grew up dreaming about representing their country on the biggest stage. Tonight they didn't just represent South Africa they made history for it.”
“What makes this story beautiful is that nobody can take it away from them. Years from now, people will still talk about the team that broke the barrier and carried South Africa into the knockout rounds for the very first time.”
“This is bigger than football. Somewhere in South Africa, young boys and girls are watching this team and believing that anything is possible.”
“South Korea fought hard, but tonight belonged to South Africa. Every tackle, every save, every sprint was for a place in history, and they earned it.”
“The celebrations will be unforgettable because these players know exactly what they have done. They haven't just won a match. They have given an entire country a moment of pride.”
“When people talk about the greatest stories of this World Cup, South Africa's name deserves to be part of that conversation.”
“Tonight, millions of South Africans will go to sleep smiling. Not because their team won 1-0, but because their nation has achieved something it had never achieved before.”
Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala has pleaded guilty to fraud and corruption charges linked to the R228-million SAPS health services tender. The fraud charge relates to allegations that the contract was secured through fraudulent misrepresentations, resulting in SAPS paying more than R50-million to Matlala's company. The corruption charges stem from allegations that multiple SAPS members were paid from the proceeds of the tender. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403
