🚨 JUST IN: Tyla will perform the South African National Anthem tomorrow for the opening match between Mexico and South Africa at the FIFA World Cup. 🇲🇽 🇿🇦
Remember how Russia shone during the 2018 FIFA World Cup?
Now the World Cup is defined by visa bans, ticket chaos, and political tension; while FIFA tells everyone to “chill and relax.”
The hypocrisy goes beyond politics and into sport.
Zimbabwe has stepped up efforts to assist citizens returning from South Africa, with another 65 nationals arriving through Beitbridge Border Post on Tuesday under the government-assisted repatriation programme. Authorities say the initiative aims to support safe and orderly returns amid ongoing migration challenges between the two countries.
The City of Johannesburg will introduce new tariffs from the 1st of July, with increases to electricity, water, sanitation, refuse removal and property rates. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403
That Didn't Take Long. Phemelo Has Been Arrested After Assaulting Student Teacher
A suspect identified as Phemelo has reportedly been arrested following a viral video that sparked widespread outrage on social media.
What annoys me about the @GovernmentZA is the apparent double standard. White racists like Phil Craig, Peet and Mel Viljoen and those doos from AfriForum can make highly controversial statements and pursue campaigns that many South Africans view as damaging to the country’s image, yet there seems to be little urgency from the state. But the moment ordinary Black South Africans organize marches or protests around issues affecting their communities, they’re quickly labeled vigilantes and threatened with the full force of the law. These people should’ve had their citizenships revoked. They said horrible things about South Africa and its citizens. They shouldn’t have been allowed into the country. I wish all the bad things they claimed in this video to happen to them for real!
The betting companies’ executives are already pre ordering their supercars and seaside properties in preparing for the windfall that’s combining from the World Cup.
The decision to refuse a Somali World Cup referee entry to the U.S. is "insulting to the entire African continent", an ex-member of FIFA's racism task force tells @BarbaraGSerra.

One thing about truth is that it doesn’t care about your feelings; it cuts deep and still remains the truth. We cannot ignore the economic realities facing South Africa. Rhetoric won’t shift fundamentals, smart policy will. 🇿🇦
We do know what Mel and Peet Viljoen allegedly stole and scanned improperly. That is why the “redemption/sweetheart tour” is so frustrating - Mel Viljoen keeps saying it was a credit card glitch and they were targeted because they are celebrities BUT the charge sheet is publicly available!
The allegations across all CCTV incidents (29 August 2025 to 8 March 2026) includes 52 transactions; 392 items allegedly stolen or improperly scanned. Total alleged loss: $5302.17
On the last day (8 March 2026) before their arrest on 10 March 2026, Peet Viljoen allegedly exited Publix with a trolly without paying. The contents included:
2 bottles of La Marca Prosecco
1 package of Charmin toilet paper
1 case of San Pellegrino Mineral Water
1 case of Maison Perrier Forever Lime Sparkling Water
1 pack of Coca Cola Zero
Mel actually paid for her items on the 8th but it is alleged she assisted in the overall scheme on the day and they worked in concert on the other days.
