South Africa 🇿🇦 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 were in the same World Cup qualifying group. Despite South Africa being docked three points, Nigeria still failed to qualify.
Bafana Bafana carries the hopes of our ancestors. During apartheid, football was the one game Black South Africans had access to, even then there was no investment into the sport.
To us, it’s never been just a game. It’s a symbol of resilience and survival. To see this team succeed is a dream come true. Thank you Madiba. 😭
