🖲🗣 OFFICIAL: Some tackles stop attacks. Others make history.
Mbekezeli Mbokazi produced a challenge that football fans won't forget anytime soon — a perfectly timed, fearless tackle that sent Canada's Liam Millar backwards and left everyone watching in disbelief.
A moment of courage, timing, and pure defensive excellence. 🇿🇦⚽
"The greatest tackle in World Cup history?" 👀

I want to buy a Chicago Fire Mbokazi jersey now - just because you're so incredibly invested in our starboy. I know promoting such an amazing player can net a great payday for you if you end up selling, too, but you saw value in him when foreign clubs tried to fit him into stereotypes. You respected the competition offered in PSL and you respected the local voices who supported him. You were right to do so.
In a world where African soccer is routinely maligned even by those in power, you still saw him. It should be the bare minimum for recruiters but unfortunately it isn't. You were the exception to the rule and you loved him for us when he was so far away from home.
Even at the very risk you'd have him for a good time, not a long time.
South Africa ❤️ @ChicagoFire and @MLS for this
To every mother in the stands. In the living room. On the group chat, losing it after every goal.
You don't just support Amakhosi. You are Amakhosi.
Happy Mother's Day. 🖤💛

🚨I see people misread this situation about us in Cape Town
I hear lot of people calling for PSL to bring finals to Cape Town
Cape Town isn’t desperate for finals
We will never 👎🏽 go to final where it’s TS Galaxy vs Milford, respect us please
We want top three teams in Cape Town especially those two League-less Soweto teams
We wants a final that has one of them if not keep those finals at Durban where your head quarters are at
Michael Jordan: "To win, you got to lose. To be happy, you got to have disappointment."
"I really don't have regrets. As soon as you look back in your history and you come up with something you feel like you want to change, something else has to change."
On disappointment:
"To win, you got to lose. To be successful, you got to have something that's not successful. To be happy, you got to have disappointment. All of those things have evolved to make me who I am and understand the benefits and privileges I have for being who I am."
Jordan shares what his parents taught him:
"Don't wear your reputation. Don't wear your accolades. Don't wear your personality on your sleeve. Let it happen. Let it be you. It is who you are, don't hide from it. But don't rub it in people's faces."
On being voted the greatest athlete:
"It's ironic that I'm the youngest of the three. It's all relevant based on who is watching now. If you ask 20 years from now, I'm pretty sure LeBron may beat me based on who's going to be making the voting. I say that to understand: it is what it is. I don't wear it. I don't showcase it. Someone else's opinion. As an athlete, all you want to do is be the best athlete you can be."
Jordan reflects on his father:
"I had him for 32 years. Obviously, he was murdered. Rarely do I get the chance to talk about him. But the thing I remember, I think about him practically every day. For a person like myself, who lives in the spotlight and is so critical from people all the time, what I do, what I say, where I go, the thing he always said: 'Take a pause before you make a decision. And say: what if.'"
He explains the purpose:
"Whatever decision you make is always going to have consequences, pros and cons. If you think about the consequences, you make the right decisions. Now, all the decisions I made, other people may view them as not the right decisions from their perspective."
Jordan addresses his "failed" baseball career:
"Everybody says it was a failed opportunity to play baseball. That's what they think. For me, it was the best thing that could have happened. It allowed me to go back to the game with stronger passion. At the same time, I was able to understand the love these minor league baseball players have, making $1,500 a month. Which is nothing. But for them, it was big."
He continues:
"To see that helped me put things in perspective to understand the platform I was on in '93. When I went back to it in '95 and '96, I appreciated it even greater. When we won those championships, those things mattered to me far greater than what I did in '91, '92, '93. People don't see that. People will never understand that."
Jordan shares the deeper lesson:
"All they think about is, well, he batted .202, he struck out a certain number of times. Yeah, okay. But the effort was there. The learning curve and the passion was there. That has transcended not just to me, but to other people who are afraid to do things because they're worried about the perception from other places. To me, that's more gratifying than anything. That's what my father and mother instilled in me: take a negative and turn it into a positive. Don't be afraid to fail."
On his mother's constant reminder:
"My mother calls me practically every day. The last words are always: 'Keep your nose clean.' That's her constant reminder: people are watching, people are learning, people are paying attention."
On why he stepped back from the spotlight:
"I want my life to be my life. My time in the spotlight is dwindling, and I want to be able to control what I do and what I don't want to do. I need no more admiration. I've had enough. And it's been great."
Jordan shares what retirement means to him:
"Sometimes I surprise myself saying, 'I got nothing to do today. I got nothing to do tomorrow. I got nothing to do on Wednesday.' That's ultimately retirement. That's where I want to be. Not worrying about what I have to do tomorrow while I'm living in the moment right now."
Black well educated San living in Ireland speaks out. We have such a small minority of Black South Africans in Ireland that come to Live for a short time and work.
Fair play to this lady for speaking out about Black South Africans names being tarnished by Nigerians 👏 👏
This is De Doorns in the Western Cape. All the residents here work for 4 families that own all of the farms in the area.
The same 4 families also own of the shops in the town nearby.
Basically, the same people the farmworkers work for in the wine farms also control the local Pep, Shoprite, KFC etc.
During the picking season, Intercape buses drop off hundreds of workers straight from Maseru and Harare.
