The difference in the way South African born whites eg. Elon Musk, Charlize Theron, Dricus Du Plessis and black/coloured South Africans eg. Thuso Mbedu, Trevor Noah, Tyla, Sho Madjozi speak about South Africa when they get famous overseas is so telling…
I want to buy a Chicago Fire Mbokazi jersey now - just because you're so incredibly invested in our starboy. I know promoting such an amazing player can net a great payday for you if you end up selling, too, but you saw value in him when foreign clubs tried to fit him into stereotypes. You respected the competition offered in PSL and you respected the local voices who supported him. You were right to do so.
In a world where African soccer is routinely maligned even by those in power, you still saw him. It should be the bare minimum for recruiters but unfortunately it isn't. You were the exception to the rule and you loved him for us when he was so far away from home.
Even at the very risk you'd have him for a good time, not a long time.
South Africa ❤️ @ChicagoFire and @MLS for this

There is no one here who doesnt know that Katiso Molefe smuggle people out of the country without any trace. Two months ago, i was told that there is a safe haven house in Mozambique and as we speak Lucky and Thapelo Molefe were spotted together in the very same house more than 5 months ago. As we are speaking they have long gone, they are no longer in Mozambique they are very far and i dont know if this case will be resolved
I was over the moon at the final whistle - and five seconds later furious, seeing a politician on the pitch dancing with the Bafana players and technical team like he was part of it 😭
Then the team manager that messed up hugely tells people to be quiet.
We say this every game and nothing changes: politicians should do politics, administrators should administrate.
The players and coaches earned this - no one else.
…arrival suits by Mmuso Maxwell.. Custom kit by Rich Mnisi x Addidas…. A graphic tee collection with Bodega Boys… a Bafana McD meal… Press looks by Thebe Magugu @SAFA_net…. berekang tleng?!
Why do so many white South Africans think all black politicians are corrupt?
Do we blame racism?
Do we blame the ANC ?
DA has R 1.6 BILLION corruption in Cape Town revealed this week, and the same pale citizens are silent...
Enlighten me
