Maponga Marara cuts to the heart of South Africa's xenophobia, arguing that the violence is not about undocumented migrants, who are fellow struggling Africans but it is about purging the streets and dismantling African-owned enterprises that rival entrenched corporate interests. He insists that Africans must never clash over scraps of employment, but rather over who owns the industries themselves: a struggle not of brother against brother, but of the dispossessed against the structures that dispossess them.
Dear @UnionStGilloise
There is one thing Iโd like you to know about South Africans๐ฟ๐ฆ.
We may banter & argue amongst ourselves, but the moment one of our own moves to Europe, we unite behind them. Thatโs who we are.
Now that Relebohile Mofokeng is part of your family, we expect to see him everywhere. We want training photos, matchday content, behind-the-scenes moments, we want to watch his journey every single week. Let him become one of the faces of your social media. ๐ฎโ๐จ
If you need an example, have a look at what Chicago Fire & the MLS social media team have done with Mbekezeli Mbokazi. Theyโve embraced the South African audience, & weโve embraced them right back. Weโd love to see the same energy for Rele.
Trust us, South Africans will follow all your social media pages, engage with your content, & support the club because one of our own now wears your badge. ๐
And one last thing, we already know about the Belgian Super Cup final on 31 July against Club Brugge. We want to see our boy on that pitch! A potential Relebohile Mofokeng vs. Shandre Campbell showdown is something every South African football fan is looking forward to.
Please donโt disappoint us.
Yours faithfully,
A South African football fan ๐ฟ๐ฆ
