Watching Argentina’s questionable World Cup run, full of controversies, and still supporting them just because your favorite player Messi is on that team...
Explains even Africa's political climate. That’s exactly why you see so many Africans backing political parties/politicians that hurt their country’s growth.
Not because of policy. Not because of results. Just because "their person" or "their tribe" is in it.
It’s not about performance. It’s not about principles. It’s about identity. "My player". "My tribe". "My person".
It’s the exact same disease.
Zimbabweans are NEVER going to leave countries like South Africa until:
- The ANC stops endorsing ZANU PF. Thabo Mbeki is referenced a lot.
- Border control stops taking bribes to let Zimbos through.
- A serious border fence is built & monitored.
- Home Affairs officials stop dragging their feet regarding permits (this is how they get bribes).
- South Africans, especially White SAns, stop hiring them & buying from them.
- The world supports Zimbabweans militarily to overthrow ZANU PF, like they've done in other nations.
- SADC leaders stop lying about the situation in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabweans are petrified of ZANU PF & no-one is willing to help them overthrow their corrupt govt, which they say rigs elections.
For that reason, they will not leave & SAns can do whatever they want, but until SAns are willing to help them with ZANU PF or until the South African govt becomes as hostile as ZANU PF, nothing will change.
This is a summary from many of the Zimbos I received in my DMs. 8 out of every 10 msgs were from Zimbabweans.
With that said, many of them are in South Africa legally, they have ZEPs, they have study permits, they have work permits, they are temporary tourists.
Many of them love South Africa & South Africans, and are grateful for the country that we have, & are envious of the freedom of speech we enjoy here.
Note: Many politically-connected ppl in SA own mines & other businesses in Zim. Zimbabwe imports a lot of goods from SA, which boosts the SA economy.
The bottom line: Many Zimbabweans believe that ZANU PF is the problem, & the reason why they are in SA. The ANC leadership supports & defends ZANU PF, instead of holding it accountable. Ramaphosa is willing to take Israel to the ICJ, but not Zimbabwe for human rights violations.
End.

Rafael Leão’s father, Frank Leão, has released a song dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo on his birthday. 😂
And to be fair to him, it’s an absolute banger. 🕺🎵
Song title — CR7, O Único. 🔝
Lesbians don’t want men, but one must act like a man in their relationship. Gay men don’t want women, but one must act like a woman in the relationship. If you are able to make it make sense, please share your logic.
