Ime Okon deserves credit for his performances in a Bafana jersey so far. At 22 years of age he has a calmness & maturity to his game. Currently in Bundesliga 2. I canโt see him staying there long. With him Mbokazi, Makhanya, Ndamane etc. we might be set for the next few years ๐ฟ๐ฆ

Keept South Africa's hopes very much alive ๐ฅ
Here is a lesson, young man! fully, firmly, and without apology. You undermine South Africa because you cannot stand our success. You call us xenophobic because we refuse to be your escape hatch. You mock our challenges while ignoring our achievements. So let me remind you, South Africa is the engine of this continent. Without us, Africa would be poorer, sicker, hungrier, and weaker.
Let me list what we are actually good at so you never forget.
Healthcare. We have the best healthcare system, We provide free treatment to millions. Mother-to-child HIV transmission is under 1%. Our healthcare system, despite its strains, is the envy of the continent. We treat your sick when you cannot.
We are the most food-secure nation in Africa. We export citrus, wine, maize, and macadamia nuts globally. We feed ourselves and our neighbours. We have world-class research, mechanisation, and supply chains.
Our ports are the busiest in Africa. Our roads, railways, and airports connect the continent. Our financial system is robust. Our constitution is a global benchmark for human rights.
We have a judicial system that holds leaders accountable. We have free press, civil society, and a citizenry that protests and votes. We do not run. We fight. We hold our leaders to account. something you refuse to do. We are a resilient nation!
We are building renewable energy projects. We have a space programme. We have tech hubs that rival Nairobi and Lagos. We are not sitting still.
We have challenges Yes! And we are working on it! corruption, unemployment, crime. But we own them. We confront them. We do not run from them. And we will fix them. Without your lectures. Without your pity. Without you.
Africa needs South Africa because we lead. We build. We deliver. You need us to be great because when we fail, you have no excuse. When we succeed, you have no argument. So stop undermining us. Start building your own countries. We are South Africa and we are here to stay nana!!!!!
Irish lads supporting SA and the world cup in USA today class ๐คฃ
So much respect for these four lads who purchased tickets for today's World Cup in Atlanta between Czechia and South Africa before the game in Prague.
We're told the lads booked the flights when Ireland went up 2-0 against Czechia. The lads kept the tickets, bought some South Africa jerseys, a Father Ted flag and made their own memories.
The kits were reportedly bought on Ali Express for 20 quid a pop.
South Africa battled back in the end for a 1-1 draw with the support of four new fans.
We beat them to qualify. What do you mean? Group winners too. Stop all this Nigeria nonsense, they should play football and qualify not spectators wanting to them to qualify on X
Watching this South Africa vs Czechia game and I canโt believe weโre being forced to watch these guy try and play football over actual footballers like Osimhen, Lookman, Bassey & co.
Itโs truly one of the biggest tragedies of the tournament.
We were far better than Czechia. That goal we conceded was a lapse in concentration by the defenders. Technically we are clear. They are only more physical than us, but thatโs it
South Africa at the World Cup
2 games
3 goals conceded
2 red cards
1 goal scored
1 point
Last in their group
Just like taking over African citizens, theyโve taken over the last position
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.
