“The reason why Zimbabweans are leaving Zimbabwe to go to South Africa is what Zimbabweans should be addressing—& not the behaviour of South Africans.”🫢

The DA is now targeting the digital nomads they invited to Cape Town.

This is a self-created problem.

Criminals who were kicked out of Dubai flocked to Cape Town.

Phuket is nicer, cheaper and safer. They don’t ask for bribes from the border gate all the way to the resort.

Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.

Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.

A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.

And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.

Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.

The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.

FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.

That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.

I hope you have learned something today.

This was one of the most skilled and beautiful goals this tournament and it got cancelled. Corruption really ruins everything.

Mozambique receives roughly R3bn annually from South African tourists. Just to be clear, Mozambique's total tourism revenue is R4bn. The entire tourism industry in Mozambique would collapse if not for South Africans.

Meet Dr Paulo de Valdoleiros a South African medical doctor based in Bloemfontein who opened his own practice.

He allows patients to pay whatever they can afford in order to get the help they need. He is hoping to change people's lives whether they can afford R10 or R500.

They never understand because that would mean finally understanding all the stories they tell about themselves are bullshit, too.

🚨🇪🇬 OFICIAL! FEDERAÇÃO EGÍPCIA ACIONA A FIFA!

A Federação Egípcia de Futebol protocolou oficialmente uma queixa junto à FIFA, solicitando uma investigação sobre as decisões de arbitragem na derrota por 3 a 2 para a Argentina 🇦🇷 pela Copa do Mundo.

A entidade egípcia quer que os lances mais polêmicos da partida sejam analisados e que a atuação da equipe de arbitragem seja revisada.

O confronto segue repercutindo fortemente, e a reclamação oficial aumenta ainda mais a pressão sobre a FIFA para esclarecer os episódios do jogo.

Security ahead of Egypt vs Argentina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium were seen checking only Egypt fans while letting Argentina fans walk through freely.

Straight up racist profiling at the U.S. World Cup. Disgusting.
