A member of the Ikhaya Labafundi faith mission says she rejected an opportunity to study medicine in Cuba because of Jesus Christ. Another member rejects the notion that the mission is a cult. The controversial faith-based organisation in Dabangu, KwaMaphumulo, has over 100 members who abandoned their careers, educational pursuits, personal assets, and some even medical treatments, hoping God will provide.

FIFA DOUBLE STANDARDS MUST BE EXPOSED
The call to boycott a US-hosted FIFA World Cup must be supported because it exposes the deep hypocrisy and selective morality of FIFA under the leadership of its president, Gianni Infantino. FIFA acted with extraordinary speed to ban Russia, suddenly declaring that football cannot be separated from war, politics, and violations of international law. Yet when it comes to the United States, those principles are abandoned without shame.
Under Donald Trump, the US has been central to enabling mass slaughter, abetting genocide, and using starvation of children as a weapon to force parents off their ancestral land, particularly in Palestine. This is the gravest crime of our time, and FIFA has chosen silence. Instead of accountability, Trump was cynically praised as a man of โpeaceโ โ a grotesque insult to millions of victims of war, sanctions, and occupation.
Trump today openly boasts of exercising control beyond US borders, having imposed regime change in Venezuela, while threatening to take over Greenland, and speaking brazenly about seizing strategic minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. FIFAโs willingness to reward and legitimise this behaviour confirms that its decisions are not guided by human rights or peace, but by power, money, and imperial alignment.
A World Cup hosted in the United States will exclude millions of football supporters through racist visa regimes, political repression, and fear. By contrast, South Africa has proven infrastructure, a successful World Cup legacy, and an inclusive approach where no football fan is barred on the basis of nationality, religion, or political belief. Football belongs to the people of the world, not to war-makers and hypocrites. FIFA must be challenged, exposed, and resisted
