FIFA acknowledges Dr. Patrice Motsepe as the most impactful President in the history of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Since taking the helm, his leadership has been defined by a strict "Zero Corruption" policy and a 100% improvement in the organization’s operational and financial health.
Key highlights of this transformative
tenure include:
World-Class Organization: The delivery of two consecutive AFCON tournaments, widely regarded as the most successful and well-organized in history.
Global Competitiveness: A strategic vision that has moved the continent closer to international benchmarks.
The Path Forward: FIFA believes that with Dr. Motsepe’s continued leadership, African football is on a definitive trajectory to reach and rival the European standard.
Under Dr. Motsepe, the dream of a self-sustaining and globally dominant African football landscape is becoming a reality.
Kallie Kriel: The Man Who Lost the Referendum and Has Been Fighting Democracy Ever Since
Kallie Kriel presents himself abroad as a defender of minorities and freedom. At home, his record tells a very different story: a man who has spent more than three decades opposing South Africa’s democratic project and when he lost, took his grievances overseas.
1. He Opposed Democracy When It Mattered Most
In 1992, South Africans were asked a simple question: end apartheid or preserve it.
Kallie Kriel was on the wrong side of history.
He campaigned against the referendum that paved the way for democracy. He opposed giving Black South Africans political voice. He lost decisively and South Africa chose reconciliation over racial supremacy.
That defeat defines everything that followed.
This is not speculation. It is historical record.
2. From Political Loser to International Alarmist
Unable to win arguments inside South Africa, Kriel changed strategy:
export the grievance.
Since at least the late 2010s, he has toured foreign capitals particularly the United States selling a narrative that South Africa is collapsing, persecuting minorities, and committing “genocide”.
These claims have been:
Rejected by South African courts
Dismissed by EU officials
Publicly contradicted by diplomats
Dismissed by the UNO
Mocked by fact-checkers and foreign commentators
Yet he persists because the goal is no longer truth.
The goal is delegitimisation.
3. The “Genocide” Claim: Recycled, Debunked, Repeated
Kriel’s genocide narrative has been:
•Investigated
•Statistically disproven
•Rejected by international observers
And still he repeats it especially on right-wing U.S. media platforms that profit from outrage, not accuracy.
If South Africa were committing genocide, no serious multilateral body would be silent.
Instead, what we see is:
Nordic ambassadors learning local languages and engaging communities ( they always send us the best)
Germany’s ambassador actively promoting South Africa’s culture and economic potential
Australia and New Zealand openly stating that racial grievance politics is unwelcome
The world is not buying what Kriel is selling.
4. Conspiracy as a Political Weapon
When facts fail, Kriel turns to insinuation.
He has publicly claimed that unnamed journalists are being paid by “state security” to discredit him yet:
•He produced no evidence
•He named no individuals
•He refused to substantiate the claim when challenged
That is not whistleblowing.
That is character assassination by rumour.
Ironically, the only person discredited by these claims is Kallie Kriel himself
5. The White South Africans He Claims to Represent Don’t Want Him
Here is an inconvenient truth Kriel avoids:
Most white South Africans do not support him.
They live here.
They build businesses.
They raise families.
They participate in democracy.
They do not need a professional grievance merchant telling the world their country is a failed state.
They understand that criticism is patriotic but sabotage is not.we not saying we a perfect country, every country in the world has issues.
6. A Simple Question He Never Answers
If South Africa is irredeemable…
If democracy here is illegitimate…
If the Constitution offers no protection…
Why does he stay?
South Africa allows dissent.
South Africa allows criticism.
South Africa even allows Kallie Kriel to say what he says.
What it does not allow and what the world increasingly sees through is bad-faith activism dressed up as human rights.
Final Truth
Kallie Kriel is not a defender of democracy.
He is a man who lost a referendum in 1992 and has never accepted the outcome.
History moved on.
South Africa moved on.
The world moved on.
Only Kallie Kriel remains stuck in a past that no longer exists.
Apartheid was ended with a 68.2 saying yes end apartheid. Cape Town and Durban had 85% end apartheid. This was the death knell for Kallie Kriel.

Trump is now dictating the world:
'Anyone who buys Iranian oil or petrochemicals will be subject to secondary sanctions and will not be able to trade with the US'
Everyday, sometimes every hour,
I pray for an end to the
cruel massacre of people wherever such odious actions are taking place in the world. The massacres pain me immensely, making me wonder how some have mastered the art of looking the other way in the face of egregious human inflicted human suffering #JustAThought
Many Afrikaners loved SOCIALISM when govt built Afrikaans schools, created cheap electricity, prioritized Afrikaner workers, subsidized Afrikaner farmers, invested in Afrikaner businesses, etc.
When it's time for Black People to be prioritized... IN ORDER TO CREATE EQUALITY, NOT SUPERIORITY... Now they hate it, call it Racism & demand Free Market Capitalism. That's bullshit.
The truth is reversal of systemic social injustice is not unjust. You know that dear Afriforum. The Constitutional Court has pointed out time and again that restitutive justice is not only allowed by our Constitution but also demanded by it for the substantive equality entrenched in s9 to be realised. Furthermore, if you are the ones who said there’s a targeting of Afrikaners, you lied. Look what you did. Own it. Do not pass the buck.
"Zuma killed the ANC". For ANC to get 40% Ramaphosa saved the ANC. with collapsed image of the brand ANC during Zuma. I will add Zuma killed the state as well. He collapsed the state institutions. For Ramaphosa to stabilize SABC, SARS, PRASA, ESKOM, etc., It's commendable". ~ Prince Mashele

ANC Secretary General, FIKILE MBALULA "SPAZA SHOPS WILL BE RESERVED FOR SOUTH AFRICANS. No illegal immigrants are allowed to operate tuckshops in our country.Those who are legally in the country they must prove investments in the business of over
R5 MILLION as required by the law, COMPLIANCE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED"
#RamaphosaOurPresident
Adv Ngcukaitobi for the IEC told the Electoral Court today that people in Mr Zuma’s position should not be in Parliament, because “serious and serial lawbreakers should not be lawmakers”.
He was defending the IEC’s decision not to allow Zuma to be on the MK Party election list.
Be honest, out of all the leaders in the ran in these elections the only leader that makes sense is ANC President @CyrilRamaphosa.
Ningandithuki, it’s just the truth

Israel has now killed more than 20 000 Gazans, about 1% of the population. 1% of the US population: 3,4 million. 1% of Israel's population: 92 000. (South Africa: 620 000) That's how we should view the impact of the devastation of Gaza on that community. #GazaMassacre
