Why is it that, its the children of petty traders, gate men, market women and widows that misbehave mostly on social media? People whose parents have no means to hire a lawyer? Why?

Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s international reputation and decades of goodwill.
All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are “men”
Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust.
Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s political satire
It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively.
The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s a stain.
South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010.
Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.
🚨📢| José Mourinho on the Somali Referee Drama and the 2026 World Cup:
“It’s not about UEFA appointing the Somali referee for the Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa,” Mourinho reportedly argued. “We need to blame FIFA for all this drama. Why take a precious tournament to a country that’s not traditionally known for football passion in the same way, and then have all these issues with people getting denied entry? This must be shaping up to be one of the most chaotic and boring World Cups ever.
not just about welcoming him back home as a hero or finding him another stage. Things have to be done properly next time-proper planning, better coordination with hosts on visas and security-or the World Cup will start losing its credibility. Football’s biggest event can’t keep getting dragged into these avoidable messes.”
@nyannthierry Very sad indeed. It’s because of those street bashing Afrophorbic terror goons. But Africa should continue to support the S African team regardless. Stand far beyond and above their cheap and tunnel-visioned political stunts.
It is painful when the continent you love turns its back on you. But football solidarity did not disappear for no reason. Africans have always cheered for each other until the hospitality was met with hostility, until immigrants were attacked in the streets, until children were turned away from clinics. You cannot ask for continental love while your own government and citizens refuse to follow the rule of law in handling immigration. Violence is not law enforcement. Stop the hate, protect human dignity, and Africa will cheer for you again. Until then, the silence or the cheers for Mexico are not hate; they are consequences.
SIR ROGER HUNT. Our second leading all-time scorer with 285 goals! An absolute #LiverpoolFC Legend. Look at that jersey and that badge and... a Kop favourite who wore it with such pride. #YNWA#LFC#goals#legend
