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. 🇿🇦⚽️🌍

13. …don’t be careless with that gift. Protect it. Speak the hard truths. Close the wrong doors. And above all; make them your priority, not just in your words, but in every little choice you make.

Because once they walk away, even if they forgive you, they may never come back.

12. This reminds me that sometimes, betrayal isn’t loud. It’s quiet, subtle, disguised as politeness or fear of seeming harsh. But it still counts. It still hurts. And it still costs everything.
So if you’re ever lucky enough to find some1 who loves you and chooses you,

11. You could’ve had that life together, but now you’re watching it from the outside like a stranger who had front-row seats and chose to leave before the best part. That’s when you learn: Karma yinja yeGame!

10. You’ll see them smiling in pictures one day, genuinely happy, living fully, but without you. And it will hurt.
Not because they’ve moved on.
But because you’ll know deep in your gut: it’s your fault they had to.

9. That’s the thing about this kind of betrayal: it doesn’t just break the person you were with. It breaks the very thing you were trying to build. You chip away at the foundation, not realizing you’re making “the home”unliveable. And what’s worse is what happens after…

8. … The partner; the 1 they were actually building a future with, found out. Saw the messages. Felt the full weight of every delayed response, every ounce of dishonesty, every silent betrayal. And just like that, the trust was gone. The kind of trust you don’t get back…

7. … for some1 in a relationship, for some1 who had already promised their heart to someone else. That moment, like the others, chipped away at something sacred….

But that was the moment everything began to fall apart…

[Mthabisi G Sibanda @SMthagman]

6. … One day, someone even joked, “Meet me at Home Affairs for marriage.” And instead of brushing it off, this person asked, “What time?”
They thought it was banter. Lighthearted. But it wasn’t harmless. It was selfish…

[Mthabisi G Sibanda @SMthagman]

5. … Bcoz they thought soft lies were better than sharp truths… Can anything really be better than the truth? …

4. … "maybe” or “sometime”, knowing deep down that “no” would’ve been the right thing to say.
Then the ex asked, “Have you moved on?” And even though they had, deeply, happily, beautifully, they answered, “Not really.”
Why? Because they didn’t want to sound cruel. Because they…

… of being honest, bcoz honesty felt 2 cold or 2 arrogant, they’d say “I miss you 2,” even though they didn’t. Some would ask for pictures, cross lines, hint at things that made it clear what they wanted. And though they never followed through, they kept the 🚪 open with…

…lifetime. But slowly, without even meaning to, they started answering messages from ppl who should’ve never had that kind of access. Old friends. Flirty admirers. An ex who still lingered in the shadows of their past.
Some wld say things like “I miss you,” and instead…

There’s a kind of betrayal that doesn’t start with cheating in the physical sense, but it still cuts just as deep. Some1 once told me a story like this.

A person was in a committed relationship; real, solid, and filled with the kind of joy that’s hard to come by twice in 1
